Watchful Pixie - fight

[Kleiner]

My hopes of a Mace rivaling Templar or a new solo mace (Fast Cast, Increased Base Damage, Accuracy, anything...) Have all been squashed.

[Ultimagi]

Out of all of my jobs, the only weapons I'm even remotely interested in are Bard and Scholar.

I'd like this, or change the Attack for STR. The 5 Accuracy of Perdu is irrelvant for my WAR.

Wasn't really sure where to put this...

What day was it? I wonder if activation would change depending on elemental day.

[Knyghtmayre]

It was darksday, waiting for day to change to do a little more testing. The additional damage was affected by the day. Once it hit for 20 when clearly the max on the weapon is 19.

floor[19*1.1]=20

[DancingEdge]

I really want to see/know what these do on real mobs.

I rejected a GAXE with 19 earth damage because I really didn't forsee earth being too powerful against ... anything in particular.

[Yvonne]

Hey, just wanted to post these up since these numbers are slightly higher than the ones on Wiki. This leads me to believe that Enhancing may very well go beyond the usual +7. Especially since Magic Accuracy shown here is well above the usual numbers.

I'm going to wager a guess that the proc rate is 50%, with a +10% (resulting in 55%) for the correct day, and maybe a -10% (so 45%) for the day it's weak to.

275 Total landed attacks

45777 Melee Damage Dealt
2967 Additional Effect Damage

2967/45777=6.81% Increase in Melee DoT

2967/185=16.03 Damage per activation (@Cap:19); 16.03*.6727=10.78 Added damage per attack.

Non darksday, Non lightsday, Killshots and counters omitted.

Doesn't really make sense to me that it would process 9%~ more on days that aren't darksday... I can see this needs much more finite testing but I really don't feel like tallying 0s and 1s upwards of a thousand times. Safe to say 55-70% Activation rate?

[Psion]

Does it proc on zanshin attacks?

[Knyghtmayre]

Yes, processes on Zanshins/Double attacks, doesn't on counters or killshots (unless the actual melee damage doesn't kill, and the add effect processes and that gets the kill; happened once).

[BerenTebogo]

For the Great Axe to be better than Perdu it needs DMG+5 and +3 or more STR? Is that correct?

[Carraway]

For the Great Axe to be better than Perdu it needs DMG+5 and +3 or more STR? Is that correct?

Wouldn't those stats simply make it a wash with Perdu? DMG+6 and some combination of STR, attack, and/or DA would make it flat-out superior.

[BerenTebogo]

I hadn't seen DMG+6. Is it possible? Was about to go for the first attempt to augment tonight but group bailed.
