Is fTP on Savage Blade gradual, or do you have to reach 2000 and 3000 TP to yield the higher fTP effects?

I'm thinking specifically about the 500 TP Bonus on Moonshade Earring. All things considered with nothing else equipped, will I see an fTP bonus at 1000 natural TP, or do I need to wait until I hit 1500 natural TP to trigger the fTP equivalent of 2000 TP?

Thanks everyone for responding. It sounds like everything can be summarized as follows:

  • fTP is gradual. 1500 TP is more damaging than 1000 TP, and 2000 TP is trivially more damaging than 1999 TP.

  • The fTP slope is steeper/higher between 1000 and 2000 TP vs. 2000 and 3000 TP.

  • Net 2000 TP is the optimal time to use Savage Blade because the TP/fTP payoff diminishes above that point.


Another reason to target an effective 2k TP is that every WS has 3 seconds of fixed delay where you cannot land melee hits associated with it, so WSing less often means less fixed delay.

That said, TP Bonus +1000 augment weapons, everyone with Moonshade, WAR with Fencer and/or Warcry, etc. there are lot of ways to get an effective 2k TP before 2000TP.

Just so you don't math it out wrong: moonshade is 250 TP not 500.

Discussion over at the Whm forum has me wondering - does debuff specific magic evasion work the same way as elemental magic evasion does wrt opening up the 1/8th resist tier?

Specifically, if you say take off carrier's sash that has dark resist on it and wear an augmented Arete del Luna +1 with "Resist Sleep" +15 on it, does the resist sleep on its own give you a 1/8th resist tier on sleep, or do you still need dark elemental resistance from somewhere else.

you'd still need the resist, "Resist Status"+ is just giving you the trait buff so you got a 15%, 7% on NMs chance to just block sleep from occurring. Otherwise it follows the same resist tiers as normal
