Most definitely.

[Nameless]

I have not dealt with WS or Blue magic that use first hit ftp across the board so I am gonna ask this question. Would it be possible that the accuracy bonus of the first hit is also carried across the board? If that is the case, then it is one less thing to worry about when gear toward these type of WSs.

Blind potion go!

[boo]

Shouldnt it be Barance?

it's actually "barannsu."

I don't mean to subvert the original creator or anything, just wanted to up the ante to full memetic status and standards:

Either I missed it on many pages ago or it really hasn't been mentioned
What's the stats of elemental magian weapon (I'd like to know STR and AGI)

[Byrthnoth]

Base Stat+11, Eva or Atk+22

[VZX01]

And as for the raise of base damage? (Dagger, Sword specifically)

[InsaniacTHF]

I'm ashamed of myself.

The Dagger is D47, from the official forums (ShadowHeart):

So did anyone find out if Requiescat is good or not?

[Prothescar]

Has been mentioned several times. Copy and paste because I can't be arsed to write another one:

Even barring any possible attack penalty at 100TP, Requiescat is next to useless on any higher level content. It has a slight edge over CDC on fodder depending on your crit rate, and will be best on anything with a large amount of straight physical resistance of any kind (elementals, ghosts, etc) due to its ability to function like Twilight Scythe and ignore damage resistance.

Aside from that, Realmrazer is the superior merit weaponskill, and Chant du Cygne is still the superior weaponskill for sword.

I'll be able to make a full conclusion on the possible attack penalty on Requiescat within a couple of hours.

[Darkmagi]

Is realmrazer superior to CDC?

Unsure what it means, but incase people missed:

Howdy all!

I wanted to share some information on adjustments that will be made to some of the new weapon skills.

• Great Sword Weapon Skill “Resolution”
We’re currently making adjustments so this weapon skill deals more damage to higher level enemies. We will be slightly weakening the effects of the TP damage modifier, but making it so the modifier won’t only be for the first hit as we’ll be changing it so that it’s for all 5 hits.
　
• Scythe Weapon Skill “Entropy”
We will be making adjustments so that the amount of MP recovered will be within a range.
There will be cases where the MP recovered will be higher or possibly lower than now, but we are planning to adjust this so that the average will not change by much.

• Katana Weapon Skill “Blade: Shun”
We will be making adjustments to this weapon skill in the same way as those listed for “Resolution.”

Also, as a side note, we don’t have any plans of adding these new weapon skills to the arsenal of enemy weakness exploits, so don’t not worry about picking which ones you would like to upgrade based on that.

[Langly]

That's confusing to me, wasn't Resolution found to transfer the fTP of the first hit to all hits already (from the gorget/belt test)?

Blade: Shun wasn't discerned but I suppose we know now. I wonder if the attack penalty will be reduced?

[Jem]

Like I said on the official forums. I can't understand why they imply it's a positive thing that the fTP transfers across all hits when that will actually make the WS do less damage than if it didn't. Unless you're sat on TP of course.

[Prothescar]

Is realmrazer superior to CDC?

On trash most definitely. On higher level targets and NMs, unlikely.
