FWIW, I'm far from ready to say it's scientifically proven good, but our GEO rocks Dagda on everything and regularly reports 90k+ WS. Keep in mind he sometimes saves a lot of TP before WSing, and it's probably not an accurate representation of his average, of course, but it absolutely CAN slap. This is stage 5, but I remember it being a nice boost to damage at stage 4 as well. It's a solid WS and seems to put out good numbers. None of these have TP bonus club since he always subs DRK, even if we aren't going for Aminon.

Isn't the reason they don't use Dagda stem more from a TP feed concern? With Nyame it has potential to Datk on both hits, meaning 4-hit WS in a TP Denial fight. Might just be bad for business? (or as Sterk pointed out in the linked above, substantially higher acc requirements for multi-hit?)
GEO in my group got stage 3 recently, and we do standard 8 boss melee runs (no kiting).
In general, Dagda's averaging for him between 37~50k per run, with Judgment about 2~3k lower(usually). He's only rocking R20 Nyame, but I see his Dagdas go up into the 60k range frequently. (My favorite one shortly after he got it on Demisang Deleterious for 69k and some change).
He hasn't made TP Bonus club to offhand yet, which I imagine is part of the reason for lower averages (or maybe the basement bosses really jib it. Idk. He killshot Aita today with a 56k Dagda)
Only the first hit of a weaponskill gives TP. Multi-hit and Multi-attack procs on WS do not give extra TP.

As counter intuitive as it is... mobs don't get additional TP for extra hits on WS. <,<; Note, they do still get TP for the offhand hit from DW, or the second hit from H2H, but like, Stardiver as a 4 hit WS is still only gonna give one hit worth of TP to a mob. And if you get DA procs, no change.

It's purely through Campaign Battles afaik, though doing ops does affect nation and beastman stats so maybe that has an impact. You're "supposed" to influence it by participating in battles, but the actual best way to quickly raise it is to mass murder campaign mobs without getting tags.
However, you can only do this when you're trying to take over a beastmen-owned zone, as it will keep respawning the defenders while you ignore the fortifications. The beastmen that attack a allied/nation owned zone will just end the battle and stop coming once you wipe out all the attackers once.
This is why taking a zone from the beastmen is super easy but defending one already owned, or worse, trying to take it over from an allied nation, is very much a pain in the ***. You'd have to camp the zone nonstop defending it, and that really only stops the beastmen from raising their bar, and barely raises your own since you kill so few.

It was one of the upgrades I was more excited about for BRD, the bump to Mordant which is widely used was awesome. You won't regret making it if you main BRD.
The attack is nice for all use cases alongside the WSC mods.

for it to fall into range. Safety lever before 30% to stop explosions.
So kinda follow-up to this... I've been leveling Synergy off and on for a bit (44) so I can do it all on my own, sense of accomplishment, etc. When should I realistically take a stab at Gorget/Obi? Smocks / Stalls aren't an issue, and seem to be decent things to skill up on, but I just can't seem to get anything going on these.

Depends on the buff situation, but unless you're insanely buffed AND the mob is strongly debuffed, BRD often has attack problems.
Also SB isn't the only WS BRD can use, despite common belief. Bihu has 10 more CHR, 14 more DEX, and 8 more AGI. It's very significantly better for Mordant, rudra's, and ruthless.

Is region control done purely through Campaign Battles in the corresponding area or do Campaign Ops that take place in those areas also work?

Just FYI regarding Tishtrya, it's main gain from R15 is the extra accuracy. Comes in handy for Aminon especially. The damage increase is marginal, like 1.5% or so.

By their logic of TH(i know its an old post) drops should be 1% or below without a thf considering how much they weigh it vs actually improving the job

I have to make one then, it's one of the singularly few Aeonics I never made (Staff, Shield, and Club).

Art reflects culture. It's a strange choice, but it's hardly enough to assume the game is ruined. Now, if the entire game is full of references intended for millenial man-children.. then yea, it's not great. I love Metroid; I'll suspend skepticism until there's evidence it's a game-wide issue. https://x.com/tyrrankpx/status/1996689965283979505?s=46&t=DrQ-3Mjgm3wkXgNXiMq0kA
Is this the first time Samus has to have someone mod her weapons for her?

Aeonic R15 crushes the other options by far at 1k. Judgment scales too well to not have the +500 TP bonus outweigh other options. In practice, if leveraging a proper Occult Acumen set, you're more likely to WS in the 1500-1800 range (SAM roll adds a significant amount). The higher in TP, the closer it gets, Prime becoming better after the 2k mark or so.

Big news today is Netflix is buying Warner Bros and HBO Max. I'm honestly glad, there are way too many paid streaming services. Netflix has always been king, and this should help everyone. The best news for this is the Nemesis system is now in Netflix control
Thats also the worst news

Yeah, that was what really bummed me out about it.

THF vs DNC in same party with same buffs / debuffs, THF will do more damage. Problem, again, is that you're limited to 6 slots. Why bring THF when you can bring WAR (Warcry for other DDs in PT), DRG (Angon), DNC (haste samba, steps), etc. The straight damage you lose from DNC instead of THF, you more than gain from having haste samba and / or steps...
I hope beyond hope, that they revisit job balancing. They acknowledged it was up there on the survey in their follow-up to it, so maybe I'll get my wish on the 30th anniversary.

Cerberus.Shadowmeld said: »Dexprozius posted in the sortie thread recently that their GEO with S5 prime club doesn't even use it. They do judgment.
Investing the time into making a Stage 5 Lorg Mor and NOT using the associated WS in the primary event in the game?

I use the following specifically for Aminon. At ML50 I don't have any WS acc issues, but might need to sneak some more accuracy in if lower in ML (prob change the Ishvara earring for a Cessance / Dignitary for example, and if still need more, Null Loop for neck slot) -
ItemSet 401368what kind judgment numbers @ 1k tp are you seeing with NQ Aminon?
In the few cases where I WS at 1k, I've eyeballed somewhere in the high 30s. But I rarely WS at 1k due to Occult acumen. Normally WSing around the 1800+ mark, like in the 50s? I can take a look and save scoreboard next time I run on GEO.
