Yeah, insurgency is extremely good. I'd be surprised if it got touched at all. Knowing how good liberator at r15 is, I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

Since the moment SE released the screenie of a Scythe-wielding DRK and a casting PLD for the update teaser, the only thing I could think of was that SE sometimes gets very trapped by the "lore" aspect of their own game.
Its historically appropriate in their line of games that a DRK uses Scythe as their main weapon choice.

but also we got 2 GS's from Zeid so....GS is the superior lore weapon in XI :P

appears to be a 5% boost to scythe.
I'm guessing they made a custom 4.0 cap for scythe.
That's what my testing is showing.

Mandibular Sickle on WAR - Damage: 82 (67+15), pDif +0.2
Low - 344
High - 361
344/82-0.2 = 3.9951219512195121951219512195122
Phew, 4.95 pDif cap for Scythe DRK.

Phew, 4.95 pDif cap for Scythe DRK.
ironically it gives wars only good scythe option a 10% increase lol. granted drk can use it too.
that's not how multiplication works, it's a 6.33% increase if you're capping attack with a scythe.
I am doing almost EXACTLY 10% more dmg with spiral hell. went from 43.5kish to 48kish.
Same gear same mob same same TP values. it is almost exactly 10% at 1k 2k and 3k.
Maybe they buffed different WS pdif?

4.2 / 3.95 = 1.06329
(4.2 * 2) / (3.95 * 2) = 1.06329
((366 * 1.375) * 4.2 * 2) / ((366 * 1.375) * 3.95 * 2) = 1.06329
no other variable changed besides the cap, which is a multiplier. and since every variable is the same, it'll always come out to 6.33%
(4.2 * 2) / (3.95 * 2) = 1.06329
((366 * 1.375) * 4.2 * 2) / ((366 * 1.375) * 3.95 * 2) = 1.06329

still getting almost exactly 10% increase. also remember spiral hell gets an outside modifier of 100%.
at 1k before update i had 15.2ksih. 2k i had 29ksih 3k i had 43kish. now i get 16.7k 32k 48k.

that's where the x2 comes from. but you can keep eyeballing
welp. do the math on how the 6.33% is doing that plz. not seeing it at all.
sure, give me every variable i'll need. until then i'm going to assume you're just eyeballing.
So you just have no idea. Alright.
Tell me the info you want and I'll provide
Tell me the info you want and I'll provide
lmao. alright, i'll just go by your set on your page then.
I'll need your STR, DEX, INT, and Weapon Skill Damage totals at least.
I'll need your STR, DEX, INT, and Weapon Skill Damage totals at least.
the set on my page should have the STR INT DEX . if you need me to grab it ill do it after the dragon
I assume you also want the WSD in sets?
I assume you also want the WSD in sets?
yes, everything else I can just assume best case but I need STR DEX and INT for WSC purposes and WSD since I don't know what your augments are.
59 wsd, 330 str
253 dex and 208 int.
253 dex and 208 int.
A single hit at 3K TP pre-update would be a range of 42238 to 44350, post update would be 44914 to 47158. 44914 / 42238 = 1.633, 47158 / 44350 = 1.633
base D = 366
fstr = 48
wsc = 294
wsd = 59
floor((366 + 48 + 294) * 4.75) = 3363
floor((3363 * 3.95)) = 13283
floor(13283 * 1.05) = 13947
floor(13283 * (1 + 59 / 100)) = 21119, *2 = 42238

mobs used were rabbits outside of ronfare and dmg had almost no variance. and i am doing over 48k with the same set i told you on. Before it was extremely consistent at 43.5k cant remember exact number but in the 43.5 and maybe 17 more dmg.
there is always variance, there is a random multiplier between 1 and 1.05 regardless of your attack.
then you didn't tell me your stats right or are using gorget/waist, which you don't have in your ah set
then you didn't tell me your stats right or are using gorget/waist, which you don't have in your ah set
no gorget and those are the stats. just doubled checked.
did you count the 3 wsd from gifts? if not that would change the low high to
43036 45188 and 45760 48048
43036 45188 and 45760 48048
3% WSD from WAR gifts are included in that 59%?
i only gave gear. and i have been doing a bunch of rabbits and never had one go below 48k in that set.

The bolded part have wrong numbers (doesnt change results, just mistyped copy pasting?)
yeah i was just copy pasting because i'm lazy.
either way, guy is just eyeballing or doesn't want to admit he's wrong.
a 17 damage range at 43K damage is impossible, and not going below 48K is also impossible, at least with the stats he gave.

All the stuff drk could've used in this update got laughed at and only got a scythe dmg update... SE still worried about packets it seems. Pld and drk got nothing but a slap in the face here.

I wouldnt call new curaga stance for PLD a slap in the face. Banishga also seems useful for taging multiply mobs when you are not /blu.
Also Scythe buff is awesomely balanced for me. Sure they havent fixed some lacking JAs, but it give them room for future and DRK is in very good place anyway.
