Which weapon should I get i'm too stupid to pick!
By Godfry 2025-05-16 12:04:44
I was leaning to Onion Sword as well for my cor. Air knife is on the table since they're one of my two main thf's, but I think I'd get better mileage out of the sword.
And you will have access to an otherwise unattainable weapon skill. That's making me not go straight to Shield.

Ice brand test:
- enspell has priority over add. effect ice damage
- Composure has no effect on add. effect
- damage of add. effect is exactly the amount of your INT. 300INT => 300 damage from ice add. effect
- proc on every hit including multi attacks If this is true for Air Knife's additional wind damage with AGI...

Also, incase it hasnt been said, or people arent aware:
If you arent ready to pick up a weapon, you can save yourself the inventory spot by trading the kupon to the dealer moogle and backing out. You'll get a KI version instead.

It is exactly that. Just tested. Also its affected by weather/day proc, but I have no easy way to check elemental affinity now.

Can you test the add. effect on like ongo ? Maybe no resist check?

Bard horn seems good for if ur doing alliance buffs in alliances. Can toss the bard around giving 15 min songs without nitro. Add things like carols.

What's the chances they give this kupon every year for anniversary from now on?

So how's Fast Blade II damage?

It does 5% damage on wind elemental and 50% damage on great birds. No easy way to check against something like Ongo, but I expect the same.

It's an fTP transfer WS, so raported damage will be all over the place, but we have known everything about this WS for a long time already. It's included in Kastra sim if you want to check.

I'm guessing this person doesn't know that only the WAR gets the extended duration on Warcry and not the whole party.
I'm already pissed I'm forced to share my Warcry with a stupid spamga SAM... I need to share my Bonanza effect too? Would be better if it extended warcry and made it single target.
It's not about segments, it's about the parse!
Run into a corner before using Warcry or Blood Rage, problem solved.

It's SE, it could either make the Login Points rotation, you only see it once, or they only let you use it once - or some combination of the above.
It seems more like them to offer it on a limited basis and force players to shoehorn themselves and commit to one, but then again - I'd have given it a 0% chance they gave this away for free - so maybe they are feeling generous long term also.

I mean we know it's values so can figure it from there.
1.8/3.5/5.0 fTP, two hits, 80% DEX and transfers fTP to all hits. At 1K it's gonna kinda suck, at 2 or 3K it should be pretty good, especially if your a build that has access to lots of +Multi-Attack. Anyone that has access to +TP Bonus can likely do good numbers.

Major FOMO going over here with me
I've been at my desk mulling it all over what I should get since logging in earlier lol.
Personally for me:
- DRK already has Apoc/Caladbolg/Crep Scythe/Lycurgos.. so I'm not too interested in padding more toys for it.
- RUN I'm working on assignments and am content with Aettir R15 and Monte+1(working on Lionheart).
- COR is fine with Naegling/Tauret/Gleti, and is 1/3 of the way done for the aeonic gun.
My RDM however is another story, and is where my decision seems to be leading.
- Using Naegling/Daybreak/Mexntius/Thibron.. don't have Crocea yet : o. Ice Brand and Flametongue are catching my eye. Wizard's rod I feel I can do without. Even Onion Sword looking a little interesting..
- Shield is R15 Forfend+1; working on Ammurapi - so not exactly considering diamond aspis currently . I might in the future take up PLD, but outside of that I don't think I'll have much use for diamond shield.

Just to be clear, I was asking if anyone picked it and has played around with it in game, not links to sims.
"Yeah, it's pretty fun", if you want an example answer.
In fact let me rephrase - is Onion sword III on, say, cor or brd fun in someone's personal experience.

I would bet that its about as equally "fun" as naegling.
It would be fun on whm. or blm. or smn.

so 15min songs can't be overwritten by 11min nitro songs right? or they would if +4 and not +3 power?

I'm going to assume here that you can't just swap in Drastic Axe to pop Berserk and get the negated defense hit advantage, and go back to another gaxe. But if anyone knows otherwise, give us a shout!

no, only thing to overwrite 15 min songs, would be 16 min songs.

If you have melee whm gear sure, why not pick Onion Sword III for it.

If by fun you mean overall damage then not really. Naegling is way ahead, but I expect screenshots of 99999 fast blade II very soon from people getting 2x multi attack proc.

Wouldn't war with 100% DA always proc it?

Just JA, and applies to you only.
The thread;
Fight to the death about which free mog bonanza weapon you're picking.
Miracle Cheer and Sage's Staves bout to be EVERYWHERE *(on multiboxes, not mains)
IF you get a Miracle Cheer and use Singer, you need to alter the file to add it @ line 253
local extra_song_harp = {
[22249] = 3, -- Miracle Cheer}
Also alter line 109
This line is going to be different based on the gear you have, but around 260.
local dur = 260
