Just wondering if the occasional deals double damage effect of Caladbolg definitely doubles the extra damage added to your attacks from Souleater.

It would be nice to have some actual numbers from someone who tested in game to confirm laying out what weapon they used and confirming if they capped FSTR/Attack and swung at what HP level etc.

I would assume it doesn't but this is easy to test due to how large of a delta the double DMG would have.
My assumption is no because soul eater just adds a flat amount of damage per hit which is added after pDif

I suspect that you can eyeball this fast.

Go hit something with lots of HP like a locus colibri to get a sense for your baseline with and without AM procs. Then hit soul eater and check again.

With massive HP pool on DRK it should be pretty obvious.

Ok, so reporting back now that I have the lv85 Caladbolg. TL:DR souleater doesn't stack with the aftermath. I went to Li'telor as DRK/WHM so I could pop SE, swing once, heal myself to full and swing again.

My melee swings without SE were between 549 and 573. That difference was 4.37% so that was almost the whole spread. My HP was 1828 and I didn't use AF head for bonus so SE bonus was 10% of HP.

Scenario 1:
Noncrit minimum with Souleater NOT affected:
min = 549*2+0.1*1828 = 1280.8
Noncrit max with Souleater NOT affected:
max = 573*2+0.1*1828 = 1328.8

Scenario 2:
Noncrit minimum with Souleater affected:
min = 549*2+0.1*1828*2 = 1463.6
Noncrit max with Souleater affected:
max = 573*2+0.1*1828*2 = 1511.6

My first three actuals were:
1306, 1296, and 1279

So clearly the SE bonus isn't doubled during Empy aftermath.
