Razed Ruins + Rampage/Vorpal Blade

Take a look at Hannibal's Sword.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You're severely lacking common knowledge about game mechanics. And eyeballing is bad.

Hannibal's has the same base dmg as company and is 15 lvls later. It's also usable by blu so it's not *** sword class.

Because hits beyond what are stated within the WS parameters are extraneous, and therefore not part of the WS's TP modifier. They aren't generated from TP, you see? They're still driven through the WS calculation, so that explains dealing higher than normal hit damage.

Also Shark Bite does do pretty good damage, but it can't crit without SA, and that only allows for one hit to crit. Plus it's a THF/DNC only dagger skill. You'll find that WSes like the ones you mentioned are are limited by job, description, or weapon type.

This just in, victory smite is 9.6 ftp

You heard it first here

Plug it in and show us the results :D

Additional hits are generated by the WS. They wouldn't have occurred if the WS wasn't triggered, stoping spouting nonsense. Same ***why the fTP bonus from gorget doesn't apply to subsequent hits, or is that your next line of offense?

Take Savage Blade for example, 2 hits, fTP 4.50, by your logic this has an fTP of 7.0...

Same formula as above but with Savage Blade

150STR
100MND

50+13+(150*.30)+100*.50)*.85)*7.0*3.0 = 2002 DMG.

Wow! That must be why they had RDMs tank AV, Savage Blade is *** awesome! Now imagine a DA proc in there! 2288 DMG! *** Vorpal Blade, Savage Blade is a go. Shall we throw in a gorget too? 2316 DMG.

I think you get it by now.

You assumed at 300% TP, correct?

Obviously. G'luck getting a Savage Blade to spike that high w/o Sneak attack

Edit: For reference, if we actually kept the fTP at 4.5 (the real number) it would work out around 1287. That's a hell of a lot more realistic

Actually, I do it all the time on War when I'm patient enough to save up to 300% 3k+ with Mighty Strikes. :)

I'll take a wild guess and assume RR atma. Cause by your logic with RR atma and forced crits your total DMG (without gorget or any DA procs would be...) 3903.

That and it's now degraded into you being wrong -> insert dumb comment to troll with, so I'm out.

I have now read the topic and reiterate the question.

Hey what skill level would be acceptable to start using an axe in abyssea as dark knight? I recently started (super hyper) leveling my axe and got rampage (which, for low skill and a poor attack axe is doing decent damage at the moment). Also, another question I was toying with is would it be a better idea to sub war for the boosted attack and berserk (and soon to be aggresor) and rock a shield, or a dual wielding class (probably nin) and double up on the axes?

Really just varies based on acc/attack. 16 attack won't make much difference, the gained acc might.

Thanks.

Also, should I dual wield or use /DRG?

I don't have Razed Ruin yet, and my highest Savage Blade is 3105 in Abyssea - Attowha on an IT Defile Scorpion. The only DDing atma on me was VV. It was with a forced double(WC). And actually, sorry that you thought I was trolling. I'm quite serious, and if anything find you at least setting up the equations a respectful show of discussion as well as interesting.

I'm hoping SE has an orgasm all over the map, and puts in Far East, Far North (Gigas homeland) Far South (Mithran jungle homeland, and not meaning Elshimo) and Far West. Many many places to see, mucho quests, missions, and most importantly, exp camps.

New exp camps aren't very important having abyssea to exp in instead imo. I don't care much for quests either unless they are rewarding, I am a fan of storylines though, so new missions would be important for me.

They could unlock "The last Verse" intead of leaving us hanging since Cop/Zilart ended, or atleast that is what I am hoping for. That has been in mission log for years youd think they would unlock it already.
