New WS Properties/Modifier/Damage Testing

[Hyan]

Can you host these pictures somewhere else since this silly block is on at school.

I don't want to get in trouble to setup a proxy. Thanks >_>

Too lazy.. First pic I deal 1217 damage to lesser colibri. 2nd pic I do 770 damage to an aht urhgan attercop. 3rd pic lesser colibri takes 1335 damage (my current max). 4th pic Mamool ja Infiltrator takes 448 damage.. and last pic sea puk takes 683 damage.

That is Highly Impressive!!
I pulled off a 647 Howling Fist on a Fomors face in Limbus last night (almost died for it lol), I wonder what I'd do with this WS...

Just started my climb up Nyzle, i guess ill find out in 3 weeks lol

Nice pics, I take it your acc was a bit off on that Mamool and Puk, though?

lol c h2h and pup gear selection? what were you expecting

[Hyan]

Don't let the first pics fool ya, the damage is great on mobs with low def but the damage goes down as mobs get more defense. I guess with zerk and minuets it could do quite well on higher level mobs though. all hits connected on the last 2 pics (I think). Got a 230 SP on the same infiltrator after, think only like 2 hits connected

[Ninjiz]

Are any of these pics with Zerk, Warcry, and/or Mins?

[Reiokyu]

Still seems to beat the heck out of the monk's ws though.

Interesting to see throughout the thread the amount of damage a fair deal of these ws's do.

on colibri pics I had zerk up. For mamool and puk I used /nin since I duoed 'em with a rdm, so no buffs at all. Also used sushi so my attack was at around 330.

[Emorej]

What gear where you using?

[Ninjiz]

I assume the maomool was VT-IT?

^ws set

the mamool was VT, the puk was T.

[Ninjiz]

OMG! O_O
You got those numbers with a Waghs??
This is promising, since wiki and everyone tells me that even thought the Latent for Wagh is 18 dmg, that the WS procs with the original 13 DMG and not the 18. Unless Wiki and ppl who told me that are wrong.

your friends are morons.

the maneater style latent procs on WS.

Someone needs to update wiki then ;o

from Wikipedia: "It seems that the Weapon Rank is calculated using the base +13 DMG and never the +18."

What's with the NQ Animator? >_> You could get a whopping 2 more DEX from Turbo (which you should have anyways?) and 4 from +1

[Hyan]

Tossed turbo~ it's a long story

That's not saying the same thing. Look up "weapon rank" to get what they're talking about there.

[Ninjiz]

I tried to lol. Then when i asked around for clarification the above answer is what I got. Its good to know they were wrong however.

In FFXI life im somewhat "new" to melee being a mage for so many years. So Weapon Rank determines the lower cap and upper cap of fSTR and fSTR2, though im not 100% clear on what that traslates to. Higher or lower caps for Dmg Bonus/penalty for str vs mobs vit?

What were the pet you were using in those pictures?

[Toth]

Not bad WS pics for Stringing Pummel. It certainly seems like a decent WS for pup for low end mobs. However, HF does still appear to be top for high level mobs just due to its 2 hit nature. I'd like to see the numbers of SP on merit mobs/HNMs wearing high STR/DEX setups (unless CHR is a mod - seriously lol) before passing complete judgment though.

Floor 10 and climbing here before I can have some fun too XD

I stated they were doing about the same Damage and all my stuff was small samples from me just goofing off, like I said(so it's quite possible I just didn't hit bigger Ushi Ranas). I actually stated that the "Damage varies by TP" seemed like bullshit to my LS because 100% and 200% Ranas were doing the same damage. Not sure if I posted that here as well.

Regardless of the "Dmg varies by TP". Hagun Gekko>Ushi Rana atm. So unless it has a mod we haven't figured out yet, Y/K/G are still the superior WSs and therefore, Hagun is still king.

I think the att/pDif and acc bonuses that YGK get are going to make them superior in most cases. I was seeing very comparable numbers between Rana and YGK on Lesser Colibri, but unless I had Berserk up and minuets on, Rana was consistently falling well behind YGK on anything worth fighting.

Like you say though, there might be some mod we haven't figured out. I might try out a few things (Store TP, for example) later, since if Atonement can have a CE/VE mod, anything's possible...
