I am starting to wonder if the weaponskills under the potency buff category are just getting a straight up +wsd% mod added to them similar to upgraded relic weaponskills.

They aren't, or I would have seen a difference with DE.
So Rudra's is probably 6.0 fTP at 1000 TP and 19.5 fTP at 3000 TP. I don't know the 2000 TP waypoint, but if it's linear then you really don't lose much damage at all waiting from 1000 to 3000 Rudra's. That's strategically huge for THF.Code:93+115 STR 107+122 DEX 85+85 CHR 102+19D 6426 Rudra's Storm 1004 6786 Rudra's Storm 1034 6.109~6.074 (oops, extra 3 TP bumped me up) 20866, 21356, 21377, 21569 Rudra's Storm 3000 19.42~19.723 fTP
Ah I see so the potency increase on DE is an acc boost then. Depending on the amount of acc that's not a bad thing I guess but sad to see no DMG bump
Yeah, that was Dancing Edge.
This is 2000 TP Rudra's Storm (used ranged attacks for exactly 100 TP/shot)
In summary, you want to hold TP up to the 2000 TP waypoint for Rudra's (1750 with moonshade). It will actually benefit you to hold TP until then.Code:93+85 STR 107+113 DEX D102+19 11% crit attck boost 14980, 15042, 15152, 15361 Rudra's Storm 2000 14.79~15.14
Edit: Forgot that I removed Charis Feather in favor of Bestas Bane, adjusted numbers. 15 fTP at 2000 TP.
Code:93+85 STR 107+113 DEX D102+19 11% crit attack boost Gorget + Belt 1114, 1115, 1119, 1123, 1129, 1136, 1137, 1161 Evisceration 1.242~1.25 fTP
So Evisceration is 1.25 fTP now.
I'm not sure what they did to Shark Bite. I'm betting it was a modifier change.Code:93+85 STR 107+113 DEX 95+68 AGI 4404, 4462, 4464, 4504 1000 TP Shark Bite 4.70~4.83 Shark Bite at 1000 TP
Blade: Shun
1.0 fTP now?Code:3 Merits: Assuming 79% DEX 1008 TP 271 Total DEX, 109 DMG Katana, Capped fSTR, SA'd Bunnies (Grand Total of 335 Base Damage) 1047, 1044, 1045
Would fall in line with a 1.2 fTP from gorget + belt, no?Code:Same as Above with Gorget + Belt: 1231, 1255, 1280, 1251
@ 3,000 TP Blade: Shun produced the exact same results over 6 WS's. Assuming it's a flat 1.0 across all tp values, similar to before with it's .68
Not really sure about the ftp calcs so I'll just leave raw data.
Ruinator 5/5 merits. 203 str. D 145 weapon. 24 fstr 172 wsc. So 341 base dmg. w/ SA

Someone PMed me about my PK results, so I did some more testing and it is what I said it was (1.75 fTP, 40% STR, 40% DEX). The real WS to beat is, against all odds, 2000 TP Rudra's Storm.
Blade: Metsu with 119 Kikoku
Taking into account the 40% extra damage from relic, this implies it's gone from 3.0 fTP to 4.0 at 1,000 TP I think.Code:1008 TP 271 Total DEX, 109 DMG Katana, Capped fSTR, SA'd Bunnies (Grand Total of 345 Base Damage) 7044, 7056, 7025, 6997, 7105, 7114
Attempting WS's at 2,000 and 3,000 TP showed no damage increase on Metsu. /sad
Rampage: 203 str. D 145 weapon. 24 fstr 101 wsc. So 270 base dmg. w/ SA
819, 844, 818, 792, 837, 813, 817
Also interesting because it was also on the ftp transfer list but bg wiki says it already did.
I went and edited in all the ones from the list already.
Also, even with 119 Terpsichore I'm getting that Rudra's Storm spamming is highly competitive with Pyrrhic Kleos and slightly increases in DPS from 1000 to 1750 TP, so overTPing is less of an issue. In theory, Terpsichore + PK spam is better by 8.6%. In practice, you should hold TP for Rudra's Storm if there's any reasonable chance you can use it to close a skillchain (with or without climactic flourish).
For Dasva's stuff:
Rampage: 1 fTP
Decimation: 1.75 fTP
Onslaught: 4.275~4.37 fTP (Now with a 40% relic boost, still a weird number)
Bora Axe: 4.5 fTP
Ruinator: 1.076~1.092 fTP
Relic is 40% not 25%. But yeah overall I'm less than impressed with axe ws
