                 for 2654 to be a 1.0 ftp hit, you'd need over 575 base damage from WSC

                 which is normal, 603 - 633 would be your range

                 maybe the extra hits have a set FTP? I know this isn't something other WS had but maybe its a new thing?

                 based on the fotia increase 5 is the only result that lines up for the 1K. can you try to get missed hits with something like a 2K or 3K and see what a secondary hit gives?

                 maybe theres a WS dmg bonus like relics?
Interesting idea. So it would mean that we probably got all those fTP wrong and it's more like fTP is maybe twice lower, but whole WS has like hidden +100% specific WS damage.

                 ok so I might have tabbed to my wrong spreadsheet for the hit doing 2654 hit... 4 hours of this is rough...That was one of my disaster 2k extra hits.  seems like the only missed hit for 1k katana was 963 dmg. I was putting my missed first hits off to the side and copy / pasted them in at end so it could sort and show 5% higher then lower hit to see how close to I am.  I tabbed to wrong spreadsheet when I looked for my 1k katana missed no fotia. Im not sure if the 2928 hit happend at all at this point my char with logger on wasn't in area.  I got it on now.

                 ignore the offhand request then, because that's in line with 1.0 for the offhand hit, would be 5 for first hit and no transfer of ftp to offhand hits, roughly 35% DEX/AGI but would need more to make sure they are equal to say with certainty

                 let me know if I need any of my tests need a bit more testing but im done for today.  Ill do 2k zesho tomorrow and maybe add more data points to any requested ws's ive done so far

                 that would line up with ~20 ftp but only 20% DEX and AGI mod, might need more data either on the 3K or the 1K data set since the WSC result is quite different.
 the missed first hit gives ~25% DEX/AGI for WSC, so need more data

                 I think one thing that is interesting, is that the Double Attack +10% on the Great Katana is not a factor when considering having the benefits of the Prime WS.  The Prime Great Katana has proven by yall to be best in high end situations.  Do I think I can keep masa and slowly over 5 years get a prime, sure, but masa is pretty damn good already for pure DD.  Should I count the DA +10 as a consideration to get the prime, nah because its already really good in high buff situations.
 DA+10 is a powerful augment but Sam's must be confused for why the augment isn't stp +5, zanshin +5 or ta+5, or even two more third eye shadows.  Where did they get da+10?

Same place they got DA+ as an augment on the RDM Sortie Earring.

                 that would line up with ~20 ftp but only 20% DEX and AGI mod, might need more data either on the 3K or the 1K data set since the WSC result is quite different.
 the missed first hit gives ~25% DEX/AGI for WSC, so need more data
Maybe with the 2k data we'll be ok but let me know which data points you'd want more 1k fotia or no fotia or 3k fotia / no fotia

                 Does Origin's Absorbs HP/MP work on undead like skeletons? (I know Drain's are technically ineffective against undead,  but I'm curious about the wording here). Does it still do damage to skeletons AND return as HP/MP to the player?

Same place they got DA+ as an augment on the RDM Sortie Earring.
Same place they got Acc and M.Acc only on RNG and COR earrings ;p
 
The pile of minimum effort.
 
Also big time props for Ahlen for doing this x4.  You're a champ

I'll write a program that can find a matching WSC for all of the datasets. When you solve for the ftp just based on the fotia differences, the WSC all range from 20% to 35% (assuming DEX and AGI are equal.)

Approximation since the random.uniform() due to the 1~1.05 randomizer. The 4 and 5 are 1 ftp hits without wsd based on 1K and 2K pdl. 95 WSC would come out to ~26% DEX and AGI mod, likely 25% each. We don't have the most data so the best guess from here would 25%/25% mod with ~5.75 / ~13 / ~18.8175
