"The effect of the dancer job ability Climactic Flourish now also affects weapon skills."

Thoughts? Predictions? Hopes? Dreams? Skepticisms?

Bring em out while we dancers eagerly await what could be yet another epic buff to SE's love child.

Personally I predict SE will have *** up and make it not only crit on non critting wses, but crit all hits of the ws. This will be followed by dancer's dropping HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE OP dancing edges. Immediately following the Epeen posts on the interwebs SE will emergency maint nerf climactic flourish.

Sadly, I think SE considers anything non-war or non-mnk more like their prom night dumpster baby at best ; ;

Does it cause critical hits on all hits of a WS? I can't log on yet.

Looks like just the first hit still, just includes all WS instead of ones that normally crit. But my DE normally do close to that amount not critting, so I wonder how much I can do with it now.

its defintely not all hits, it doesn't wear off when i use evisceration or any other weaponskill....

not as exciting as i originally hoped, but it gives climactic and rudra's purpose now on dnc.

so much for needing striking flourish.

For each Finishing Move consumed, the first attack of one attack round or the first hit of any weaponskill that states "Chance of critical hit varies with TP." (Evisceration, Backhand Blow, Vorpal Blade, etc.) will be a guaranteed critical hit, to a maximum of five combined rounds and/or weaponskills.

So WS's like Evisceration may get a minor boost if you're Crit rate is low enough to even see a diff.

But 1 hit ws's like Rudra's = HELLO DAMAGE!

That was in TP gear, not WS gear, because I don't have Shark Bite macro'd.

So now that the tiara+2 has a use in regards to climactic, is it like the casaque where it needs to be on the duration, or take it off after the JA has gone off?

20% more damage 100% of the time is better than Triple attack 15% of the time, IMO.

The 2nd/3rd hits of that forced crit wouldn't be critical.

Edit: DE still does significantly less damage than even Shark Bite, now. CF only works on the first hit.

CF only needs to be worn at activation.

So you can take the tiara off after the JA buff is up, and swap in Aias for WS? Also, the hell does it even do for climactic, wiki doesn't have much info at all. And I never bothered to do test myself because the JA used to suck balls.

Gives +1 forced Critical Hit to Climactic Flourish and adds a 20% damage boost to the forced critical hits.

---Source, BGWiki

Edit: I think it might be worth testing to see if the tiara does actually need to be worn for the 20% CAB, although it certainly adds the +1 crit if you take it off.

climactic also has a 1:30 recast while striking has a 2:00 recast
