Recently returned and reading up on this Weaponskill Damage +% stat thats everywhere now. But after reading that Fotia Belt/Neck are not 10% WSD as stated, but 25/256 FTP like the old gorgets I am now unsure about all the WSD gear.

Is all WSD % gear just poorly described FTP modifers like elemental/Fotia pieces? ie: WSD+7% is actually 0.7FTP.

Are some of them an actual total WS multiplier? WSD+7%=WS does 107% total damage. If so do they apply to all hits or just 1st/Repeated like FTP?

If they arent all +FTP is there a list that separates which is which?

Belts, Gorgets, and also Gavialis Helm under the proper conditions give +fTP (Which transfers across hits on applicable weaponskills).

WSD on the other pieces offers a percentage bonus to the first hit of a weapon skill. This means diminished returns on multi-hit weapon skills, and for the most part a pretty linear increase to weapon skills that are either single hit (like Rudra's Storm/Tachi: Fudo, etc) or ones that have most of the damage stacked into the first hit with high fTP (Savage Blade, Expiacion, etc.)
