*** if I know what I'm doing wrong with mine lol, highest I've got is about 1800 I think. But hey, that's about 800 more than I was able to land disseverment for on the same mobs (konschtat lizards), so I'm certainly happy with it.

Now I need is gravitation based weapon skill and I'm set, my last SC someone snuck in evisceration after my savage blade, so my SC was 1559 > 1683.

Posting it again because of how awesome it is.
This ^ Edit: must have had multi- double attacks in that spell only way i can see it doing that much. My best at this point was about 3100 dmg against an xp mob
Spells don't double attack... He just had high pDIF and got good rolls on most/all hits.

I'm only just level 84, so haven't had a chance to play with fantod of rape continuum, but I'm kinda disappointed with fantod already if I have to cast it 10 times to get something decent out of it... I was really happy that it was only 12mp and 1 set point, but now it's 120mp and what, a minute of repetitive casting? Still, I'll wait til I actually use it before I reserve judgement fully.
Personally not impressed with it in standard DD situations. Worth neither the time nor the MP. Tanking, waiting on SATA timers when /THF, or just general epeening though... different story. 2 DEX for 1 set point isn't bad either.
u sure about the no double attack? u have any sources? i always thought spells double attacked just like normal hits. 1250 a hit seems way too much for normal hits

i was pretty sure About the double attack too to be honest

btw i tried the same set up again after the one shot. no 2hr tho and did 3200 DMG. so the 2hr added like 2000 dmg (both with 0% TP)

today will test again with 300% TP and Sneak attack (no 2hr) see if there is any difference then dmg wise

I'm pretty sure about it. If you test it with Cannonball, you'll always notice a few shots that will do a lot more dmg than the average Cannonballs you do (while brutal equipped)

Hmm, leaving my abyssea party then, I decided to go out with Final Sting and just HP. With ~200tp, Efflux and CA, I engaged a lizard, whacked it a couple times and then cast Final Sting for a grand total of 0 damage.

Weird...

Testing new spells with capped blu magic skill now seeing a DEX mod in benthic typhoon and a STR mod on QC

the new multi hits are also very odd.. the first hit they do is dramatically lower damage than the following hits. maybe a nerf SE placed for fantod.

You don't have expiacion? O_o Anyway, Expiacion is Distortion, so is Disseverment and Quad. Continuum, so you can't make darkness with those anyway. The only sword ws with Gravitation properties is Swift Blade, the pld onry one.

Edit. Apparently Expiacion > Benthic Typhoon is darkness... The more you know ey?

Shhhh..

Quadratic Continuum is weak. :/ SE really shat us over this update. Oh well, maybe when we get those HNM spells, we'll be useful.

Loving Continuum too..

Did a 4man limbus farm yesterday.. Went as blu as I had only just hit 85..

Was hitting the dhalmels & birds etc in NW for 3k DMG with Efflux up. Was funny as hell since our DRK was barely breaking 1500 with his guilotine (Lv80 only though) at the best of times.

your test wasn't flawed..S-blade>G-rush is Light

Also Expiacion>G-rush is fusion

Also Expiacion>Benthic typhoon is darkness

A side note...last night i was in Dynamis Bastok i did Benthic Typhoon after Expiacion...it hit 2 Quadavs and
strangely it said Darkness hit the same Quadav(target of Expiacion) twice
dunno if its just a text glitch..but something strange is up

99% sure Fantod affects all hits, so no. Studio Gobli also disagrees with you, at least on Goblin Rush. They're reporting 1.25 fTP, which would make the first hit stronger than the other two.

In other news, I just did 3300 or something on an abraxas. That was with 2-hour though. I also forgot to change my ws macro and opened with sanguine blade. I then died because abraxas hit a lot harder and faster than I was expecting lol.

However, round 2, 2500 or something (no 2-hour). Gear swapped so I didn't see the SC damage, but it took it down to 25% in a single SC.
