Enchu +2 Question

What's the %s of 1, 2, 3, and 4 attacks on the OA2-4 Enchu +2?

I just woke up around an hour ago from like 4 hours of sleep, so feel free not to trust my faulty recollections, but if it's like Khanda +2 (which I'd imagine it is), I vaguely remember it being 40%/30%/20%/10% or around that.

there are better choices over the enchu for off hand though in case you were unaware

kamome

i have only enchu +1, 2-3 times. It isn't worth it. Merc Kris would pwn it in tp gain.

Low dmg means really low dmg crits. Normal katana would be 180-200 crit, enchu would be 70-80.

I use apoc atma pretty much fulltime making enchu useless. I have tried to make it work, but it just feeds tp and hits for nothing.

>mercurial kris on ninja
>my face

Get a kamome if you don't have one. They are easy as hell to get. I'm sure you can get one easily from a sobek pick up party.

Enchu is about tp gain. no? so if you want crappy dmg and tp, merc kris.

I personally like Kamome, but isn't the point of multiple hits for TP gain so you WS more for damage, not for melee damage?

I'm not a math person, so I'm not saying I'm right or even close, but I always see the point argued that it hits weak and feeds too much TP to the mob. If you have a WHM though, who cares how much TP the mob has, unless it uses some deadly moves, then just use a different weapon for that fight. And as stated above, isn't the point to ws more for damage over melee damage?

ninja =/= strictly about weapon skills

ninja = dps

not necessarily implying you're justifying mercurial kris here by any means, but still, just easier to type out a certain six-letter-named-weapon and call it a day

You have to understand that the proc rate on Enchu is very meh for the time put in, and it doesn't help WS damage at all, only improving WS frequency, and offers no actual increase to white damage due to the low base damage and lack of enhancing stats. This combined with the mob's enhances ws frequency makes the usage of enchu very ill-advised.

Kamome being offhanded however enhances both white damage, ws damage, and helps with capping acc on whatever needs accuracy still, and attack, which on a one handed weapon is very important.

If only there were discussions about off-hand katana that some how explained exactly which were best and why.

Who cares? lol. I have a Kamome, I know it's better, and I will be using it the majority of the time. Just asked a simple question. Will probably make an Enchu just to play around with sometimes. Got nothin better to do.

/sigh

Most of the time = The times that count.

Magian OA4 averages out to ~1.9 hits/round. I don't remember the exact distribution.

well my original thought of 40%/30%/20%/10% is an average of 2hits/round, so can probably assume it's just a little bit worse than that, like around 50%/25%/15%/10% or something (which would be 1.85hits/round). Pretty terrible chance either way :|

IF you want a weapon just to mess around with then do it by all means. If its any consolation i have the OA2-4 Sword and Axe, and ive never used either of them lol. I did them because i was bored and they take less than 2 days each :)
