This is the new Magian weapon for the new line of weapon skill related buffs. The final result can either be 101dmg and I.D. DMG +10% or 98 damage and +8 storeTP.
The Gimpulse Drive route is... eh. Good if you're closing Dark with it, I suppose. DMG 101 is also noteworthy. It's also the easier path.
The Store TP route is going to be the more-popular route, although the last trial sucks. Using the DMG 98 Store TP +8 version, you can avoid the Rose Strap+Ecphoria vs. Askar body choice, allowing you to use Perle Hauberk, Pole Grip, and your accuracy ring of choice while maintaining a 6-hit under /SAM and 7-hit with anything else. More, if you don't have CoP cleared, you can just equip Stingray and Rose Strap, and you're a six/seven hit.
Hello new standard. At least for three months, when we find out the gimpulse route leads to +10% Penta or Drakesbane and have to do it all over again.
