Imo, str sword better than OAT unless you are solo. Even with just refresh2 and atma, I rarely run outta mp.

Last pt I was in I found myself not running out of mp with just battery charge and 1 atma. Granted was only using 3 DD spells cause only 81 but part of the problem was the time I spent keeping myself alive lol and still getting 100% tp between CA recast while doing that. Granted I wasn't getting marches but I was getting samba and was using 2-3 swd

The weapon has viable situations. This Weapon skill from what i have SEEN is over a +150% boost compared to vorpal blade

JP on my server mains Almace and subs lvl85 Tizona and was doing 2~3.5K with the new Weaponskill(RR+MM atma i think i know he had RR tho) i vote for as long as the light/distortion SC prop can make a SC with QC im sold already (gunna eyefuk this JP till he skillchains lol)

for exp partys(Lazy button /push) as well as for normal things outside of abyssea when MP is more of an issue i could see it good also.

Why the hell would you offhand Tizona?

And no, it won't let you chain with QC. Fusion (Goblin Rush) or Darkness (Benthic Typhoon), but not Distortion.

Does mythics even work in offhand other than the base dmg?
Think I saw in a thread ages ago that relics/mythics dont work while offhanded?

DMG/Delay only when offhanded. All other stats are stripped.

ignore the naysayers. hell yes it is worth it for blu. with dd atmas it generally hits for 1.8k-3.5k. throwing those in between quadratics makes a huge difference. not to mention it's skillchain properties with other empyrean weapons. we do chant du cygne > tachi: fudo a lot and it regularly does over 10k dmg total.

At this point I'd say Almace is worth a look. Badelaire though? Nah.

And then, PLD finally had a shot at holding hate again?

Hence why I said had a shot :(

Definitely makes it so that a good pld can hold hate again in a mediocre group, but yeah; what's the point, really? :|

What pally needs aside from competitive damage, is a JA that lets a good % of enmity generated by whatever PC target to be directed at them based on damage done. Kinda like collaborator or accomplice, but with lingering duration and functions in accordance to the numbers they push.

Whatcha think? Smart idea? Stupid?
Just brainstorming.

It's not about pld holding hate. A pld can hold hate all day but let's take the pld away, add a DD tank. As long as that person is capable of keeping hate from the people who shouldn't be getting hit, then you're going to go with them because they deal more damage in the process

Hence why I vaguely mentioned competitive damage.
But yeah, why perform well in only one aspect when you can do great in both? I see whatcha mean. However, are there cases yet where PLD's new blood tanking boost and damage mitigation are a must?

I'm so far behind on what's going on now; is that with or without Counterstance? That's just... wow. Must be tons of new gear supporting counter including that JA. Also would this make Spharai still awesome?

Af2 shoes'd counterstance + gnarled horn. Another atma has counter+ major (though idk of anyone who has it yet), so that will probably bring the rate even higher.

That's w/ counterstance.

Spharai are awesome for counter, but really, I'd rather kill it 25%+ faster with Vereth. Vereth ***all over spharai. Even the WoE version with only victory smite and nothing else beats spharai
