85 Calad, Worth Taking To 90?

People also tend to over look 50% ODD on a D120 weapon.

Easier to overlook that it only applies to maybe 30% of your damage.

Wat
Ragnarok 99 and Ragnarok 95 will both beat Caladbolg 99 in Voidwatch.

Caladbolg 90 will also not beat OAT, even if the OAT has to have fighter's roll (which honestly, if you have an OAT/mythic DD run something other than fighters)

Omg here we go again. lol

@Failaras, so what you're saying is...

In voidwatch...

14% crit rate, 16% occasionally deals x2.5 extra damage on the first hit only of an attack round, and 1 base damage is > 50% ODD that can proc on all hits, and using Torcleaver once?

Forgive me if I'm not convinced. xD

Depends on the mob and buffs. In a 3 minute Qilin fight you will probably gain under 5000 damage from using a 99 Caladbolg per fight, this is just from a short look at spreadsheets and stuff so the number isn't 100% accurate but I also don't really care enough to look into it deeply. On anything where Ragnaroks accuracy will matter, it will crush Caladbolg. On anything where wings don't exist, Ragnarok will crush Caladbolg. Even on fights where you need to reapply your ODD more than a few times, Ragnarok will catch up with Caladbolg.

Even I, someone who does Qilin more than anything else and bases most of my gear sets around that single mob, think that getting a Caladbolg 99 just for 5000~ damage per fight on that fight is absolutely silly.

Edit: It's actually probably even less than 5000 because I assumed an average resolution instead of a 300 TP resolution for your first WS.

Doin' it.

How much of a difference do you consider to be "crushing"? Half the time I double check descriptions like that, the differences are <1%.

On that note, OP, see for yourself if you like: DPS spreadsheets
