Purpose: Compile unsolved questions about game mechanics that have not been answered.
Discussion will precede with formatting discussion and compilation of questions. To the former, do you all believe we need formatting beyond What/When/How/Why/Do"? Do" is a weird one because you can always rephrase statements using "How", but I think it's most natural for people to use "do" as in the sentence "Does weapon base damage affect BLU spells?" as opposed to "How does weapon base damage affect BLU spells?". We should probably keep a policy of scratching out rather than deleting answered questions. At least until it's been scratched out for about 1-3 weeks or so.

Does WSC correction stay at 0.85 at lvl 90?
Tested this a few times to still be .85. Easiest to use Test#1 @ http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/101...=1#post4331310 - Kirschy
Is the "2ndary randomizer effect" applied to BaseDMG ? or after normal damage formula have been fully calculated, like a damage multiplier ? Question is asked because way too much proofs around proving that doesnot apply to pDIF ! (or barely close).
Magic WSs: recent tests showed fINT=0 make equation match data for WSs not having INT as mod => Question : retest INT-modded WSs with a fINT=0 ? (including older WSs)
Order in calculating physical damage regarding the dmg type certain mobs are weak to ? (compared to gorget/belt + WSdmg+x% + Relic90WSdmg% etc...)

Does the fixed critical rate bonus only applied to the first hit of the WS?
Just as a note for testing this, I tried to do something related using low level monsters that cast Utsusemi, and you can't isolate the first hit that way. Your first hit after shadows are consumed returns full TP and probably gets all the normal bonuses. - Byrth
Does Weaponskill Critical Hit rate cap at 50%?
* Do level 3 skillchains deal one of four types of damage at random, or is it always Light/Dark? *
It appears level 3 skillchains can take any of the four elements of damage they are composed of. http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/102584-Random-Question-Thread-XIX-Welcome-to-Flavor-Country?p=4504694&viewfull=1#post4504694 - Byrth

What are the different categories of Double Attack, and do they have caps?
For instance, Saber Dance, which is ostensibly +25%/+20%/+15%/+10%/+5% Double Attack to each hand for the first/second/third/fourth/fifth minute of its duration respectively, does not play nicely with the Double Attack trait from /WAR. A DNC/WAR with Saber Dance up and no DA gear has about a 20% DA rate, as does a DNC/MNK with Saber Dance up and no DA gear. With Double Attack gear, they can both get up to a ~33% Double Attack rate. So what cap is Saber Dance hitting, and are there more?
