Wtf does that meme? even mean? I see that shit all the time.
It's a forced meme from 4chan; Advice Dog. As for the drg WS being penta-1, if you give the TP mod a 1.000 it should be able to outdo penta, but I don't know much about how TP mod plays a role in the WS calcs, as am I too lazy to check.
Oh, I thought penta TP mod was .750 for some reason, then yeah you're right has to be a bit higher than 1.000
Plus all additional hits on a multi-hitter default to 1.0, the big part of damage for a multi-hit is Modifier, Hit count, and Crit or not.
As for how to tell Str being a mod or not, count normal Str as roughly a 25% modifier when you factor it in, assuming pDif is capped, or just try to cap fStr for your target (wouldn't be TOO hard for a lvl 1 monster after all), and see if adding Str after that point changes the damage.
I'm still trying to figure out how a 3 hit gaxe WS could be worth using for more than animation variety, without being totally broken, all I can think is slightly higher Str mod, or Str + Dex mods while keeping the Crit tp, maybe a debuff effect of some sort... dunno.
A ws that dispels would be neat, plus the whole it's gotta do light thing.
I'd be fine with STR and DEX, I just think VIT would favor only Galka and Elvaan. STR and DEX can favor anyone and PUP doesnt have the VIT a monk gets. All of our weaponskills are hand-me-downs from monk and the good ones all want me to have high VIT >.<;
Not to derail or anything... But does anyone else notice a striking similarity, or am I just insane?

that was on KI long ago...
Excellent observation.
Rate up.
I don't use KI, wouldn't know. Me and a friend were talking about it the other day and he found a decent picture of the green ranger. Just thought it was an odd similarity between the two.
Still nothing on MNK? =(
