Night how do you think bravura will stack up against ukon now im asking you because you seem to know your *** :D
I don't have any solid data on the new WS, nor 99 Bravura's afterglow effect, so really can't say, but I think it'll still be a utility weapon moreso than the ultimate DPS machine for WAR.

Not quite. TP mods your attack value, the WSC is DEX. Same deal as Sturmwind and Iron Tempest.

Why? Spamming Fudo for aftermath and then Shoha would still out DD any other GK when the ODD comes into play. TP bonus would be situational but an empy is never a waste. It's like being mad that you made Caladbolg because the new weaponskill may spike higher then torcleaver.

Because I don't really use my SAM for anything other than zerging things outside Abyssea, i.e. Voidwatch, and for example with Qilin I'm doing about 15:85 auto-attack to WS damage ratio. With Aftermath up full time of course.

I could essentially just use whatever higher base damage GK comes out for Lv99 and use Shoha only and probably see a gain in those circumstances.

I don't know though, tbh I'm just a little flustered 'cause I assumed the new WS wouldn't hit harder than Fudo.

Dunno it's not like you made say an Ukon and Ukkos Fury gets obliterated by a merited weaponskill for example. La Thiene Empys aren't too bad in terms of time spent. Unless you spent gil on 1500 plates I wouldn't regret it to be honest.

Fudos damage kinda blows on high defense stuff. it's good you have an option that isn't tachi kasha/gekko to fall back on. (In the same boat with torcleaver/spinning slash)

My Masamune is only Lv85 though, 'cause I lack motivation. :x

I did however begin a Ukonvasara. I haven't seen anything detailed about the new Great Axe WS yet.

I agree about Fudo damage btw, I've easily done 4,000 damage with Fudo to Salvage/Nyzul etc. mobs, but in Voidwatch T3+ I have yet to even break 2,000.

That's fully buffed with Red Curry Bun and this set:

It seems decent but to be honest I only see myself using it with Mighty Strikes up. (I like using Gsword with mightystrikes though lol for shits and giggles you know?)

Asura.Leonlionheart said: »
WAR/SAM(Discipline+Coercion Lv10) VW T1 Jeuno Batalia Downs (Cherufe) He used Granite Skin and Boiling Blood after the first WS. For ALL WS(including Ukko's) I used a Attack>STR>VIT set (main notable pieces that wouldn't be in an Ukko's set were Twilight Helm(+2 would've been better but I wanted to maximize Attack, VIT, and STR instead of DA chance), Ares body, Heafoc Mitts, and Hecatomb Leggings +1 w/ STR+3 (and other non relevant to GA stats)) All WS were performed with Stalwarts and Braver's, 103+118 STR, over 999 Attack, and around 26% total DA.

First: Upheaval 300%: 1974
Second: Mighty Strikes 300% Upheaval: 4944
Third: Mighty Strikes 100% Ukko's Furry: 2222 (probably a miss, but Save TP and heavy Regain skewed my TP return so I couldn't tell)

Fourth: Mighty Strikes 100% Upheaval: 3339 Then I died :< Edit: I think Ukko's will still win for more relevant NMs, because of crits. This WS however might push Bravura over Ukonvasara though.

It seems really nice though, need alot more testing though imo.

Mythic gkt is now best and its going to be close between masa and amano from the limited info we have so far masa isnt beating amano by far or even if at all.

Some are yes, but Kogara is now beastly lol. I saw a 95 Kogarasumaru user last night, doin Qilin. I was thinking to myself, "Oh man..that guy is one lucky *** now". As much as I like Rana, its fairly weak compared to Fudo and even Gekko/Kasha.

Great Sword: Resolution Five-Hit WS, Damage varies with TP.

Scythe: Entropy Four-Hit WS, restores MP based on damage dealt. Damage varies with TP.
Polearm: Stardiver Four-Hit WS, lowers enemy critical hit evasion. Damage varies with TP.
Katana: Blade: Shun Five-Hit WS. TP mods Attack (Same characters as sword)
Great Katana: Tachi: Shoha Two-Hit WS. Damage varies with TP.
Club: Realmrazer Seven-Hit WS. Accuracy varies with TP.
Staff: Shattersoul Four-Hit WS. Lowers enemy magic defense. Chance of effect varies with TP.
Bow: Apex Arrow Triple Damage that ignores defense. Amount ignored varies with TP.
Marksmanship: Last Stand 1-2 Hits, based on ammo remaining. Damage varies with TP.

EDIT: In a Perusal of the JP wiki I've found out the descriptions for the new Sword and Katana WS TP mods have only ever been used before for Iron Tempest and Sturmwind in the JP version. It's exactly what it says on the tin: your attack is modded instead of your F.T.P. In the English version of the game, this distinction is not made and it simply says "Damage varies with TP" for those two weapon skills. It seems that they're taking into consideration that PLD and NIN may have hard times against enemies with high defense and thus made TP mod attack this time instead of F.T.P.

This is the part I'm most curious about. I'm assuming that gets stronger the fewer bullets you have left.
more likely it will only do 1 shot if you only have 1 ammo

It's a miss-translation. (ish)

It's supposed to say, "ammunition permitting". The same description on Jishnu's Radiance.

If you want to test unlimited shot/1ammo, then test it with that. (I don't see why it wouldn't work, except that you would obviously only hit 1 of the 2 hits.)

Also to note, the TP effect on the staff WS is duration, not chance of effect.

OA2-3

Rana would basically turn into Penta Thrust for a Great Katana? Enhanced WSDMG, the weaponskill itself being able to 4-5 Hit. You ride the aftermath spamming Shoha (could do 3-4 hits often with aftermath up) with a 5 hit build. Hopefully you can reach 100TP in just two attack rounds with Oa2-3 going off. It has potential really.

I'm at school atm so no FFXIcalc.

Kogarasumaru
(Great Katana) All Races
DMG: 120 Delay: 450
Enhances "Third Eye" Ability IV
"Tachi: Rana"
Aftermath: Increases Acc./Atk.
Occasionally attacks twice or thrice
Lv. 95 SAM

Not possible to 4 hit it yet or even ghetto 4 hit it. But a 5 hit is really easy to make.Looks great for spam though

Probably the aspect of hitting 5 times on a ws, what that has to do with the actual ws of penta thrust I dont know.


On a different note I take back the whole reskin of gekko for the new GK, it clearly is not(pic animation was misleading and I failed at jumping to conclusions of predicting SE) and so much better an animation than I could hope for. I really love that animation. If these ws are to be our last gained(speculating, SE hasnt said anything mind you)I can say it looks worthy of being a last gained sam WS. Did I meantion I like this animation??

Penta thrust was great for low defense/ high attack situations. Like you know Tomoe in certain Einherjar chambers. Now Samurai really doesn't have to switch weapons or use Fudo for those said situations. Multihit WS spam is what I meant I guess. Rana should be on par with penta now but without the skill difference.
