Test Server Findings

[Alkimi]

Once Alkimi gives me the sidewinder number on Funguar, I can tell for 100% whether alpha changes or not.
If it is, then 1.00 is the only possibility with 85% AGI mod.
If it isn't, then AGI mod must be 100%.
No other way around unless there's another data point that contradicts with the model.

Sidewinder doing 3390 with 124 STR 148 AGI

[Byrthnoth]

It'd be 628-32, not 628-24. [fINT is dINT+8] So 48 from WSC. Which is 27+21. Your data agrees with alpha=.85.

Yeah, caught that, but my last cast doesn't if there is any flooring.

[VZX01]

Dagger is Something/Scission. I should test if it's fusion or not, but after I finish the mods.

Aeolian Edge did 628 damage with 114 DEX, 90 INT, and 300 TP (Martial/Fusetto +3)

628-24 = 604
604/4 fTP = 151 base damage
151-99-2 = 50 from WSC
114*.28*.85 = 26 or 27 depending what order things are in / flooring
90*.28*.85 = 21

Maybe it went up?

Why is the -24 on the first one?
If you didn't do that, you'll get 157 base damage,
As far as I know and use it, the order calculation for 2 mods is sum them up and calc by alpha (and the number should be 48)
If the base damage is 157, then WSC is 56; While if we assume alpha as 1.00, the number of WSC would be 57. But if floor the stat mod first, you'll get 56, and that perfectly match with out assumption alpha = 1.00

EDIT : nvm the above.
EDIT2 : OK, after working on Alkimi's number I'm 100% certain alpha is still 0.85 at Lv99

So 100% stats works with Apex Arrow and Exenterator

[Foldypaws]

Yeah, caught that, but my last cast doesn't if there is any flooring.

I've never floored between adding them, and It's always come out right.

It's floor(.85*floor(stat1*WSC1+stat2*wsc2)), as far as I can tell.

[Ophannus]

100 merits isn't too bad, that's a mil in EXP which is approximately the amount of exp to level a new job 1-80 and that's to cap 1 WS. Although with the new HP and Attribute cap increases it's more like 160 merits or something which is like leveling 1-93.

Yeah, playing around with my cases that's the only way that it works.

[Atoreis]

No super testing yet, but Tachi: Shoha is looking very solid. On par with or maybe better than Fudo.

Naked on a Cockatrice in Terrigan:
956 Kasha -> 2251 Shoha -> 2611 Light
1071 Kasha -> 1975 Fudo -> 2291 Light

My current SC findings:
Requiescat = Gravitation
Realmrazer = Fusion
Tachi: Shoha = Fragmentation
Apex Arrow = Fragmentation

So we know clear winner for GKT at 99 now.... mythic Actually many mythics just owned relics/empy because of those WSs.

[damet]

So how is the new sword WS? Any testings on that yet?

[Julian]

Can anyone confirm if the descriptions work, and that it doesn't crash ffxi or anything? <.<;

Works fine sir, thank you.

[StateofMind]

Has anyone tried the Scythe WS?

I like the idea of using CATA for Haste/HP and then Entropy every now and then for MP. Potentially opens up that self-sustainable Drain/Aspir aspect of DRK that breaks by like level 40.

Definitely needs a ton more testing, but it also should put Amano ahead of Masa if Shoha really does similar damage to Fudo.

Only found a couple post about it. Guillotine v3 seems to be the answer. Might be worth 1/5 for the MP drain.

I would love to know how a defensive buff in a game where you probably are going to get AoE raped anyway and single target attack mitigation doesn't really do much beats 40 acc

[Ophannus]

For "Last Stand" it probably does good damage with 1 bullet left. I wonder if it depends on how many bullets in total you have in inventory or how many of a TYPE of bullet you have. Otherwise I can see it being gamebreaking with those r/ex bullets that RNG macro into WS with Unlimited Shot.

OA3 aftermath says hi. Rana* once every 3 minutes then spam the fuck out of Shoha.

[Greatguardian]

Rana*. But yes, that's the idea. Mythic GKT has OA3.

[Alkar]

Just tried Pavor Noctournus using Julian's dat. It's Death.

...... I... I... I give up. You win SE.

He probably means you save up to 300tp for the occasionally attacks 2-3 times aftermath, then use the new WS while the aftermath is up. Personally, I don't know if this will be better then just using a relic, since I don't know what the proc rate is on the extra attacks, but I doubt it will be better unless you're always engaged to stuff and fighting with no down time at all. I think under that circumstance it could win.

EDIT: Beaten, damn my rereading and spell checking!
