    Shining One pairs very well with Fly High due to TP overflow on spirit/soul jumps. I messed with it in some zergs on DRG and I was not disappointed. The best part is throwing out high jump every few WS to focus on nothing but DDing/Having somebody else take the attention of the NM.

    Club I would argue is A-tier for Black Halo, and is a better blunt option than even the hand to hand for jobs that have proficiency in clubs (aside from MNK of course)

    I've been generally impressed with the katana versus an R0 Aeonic that I unlocked. While a well augmented Kanari is typically best for off-hand, the Ambuscade dagger's native ACC is meant to be better for ACC necessary situations for an offhand. The main hand Regain is surprisingly potent... Was regaining about 55 TP/tick without specifically managing gear like a nub, just due to basic job traits. Blade Ku's damage was higher than anticipated as well... Overall, it's been a surprisingly impressive weapon.

      Nice, yeah, I was thinking it was pretty solid. People were telling me Relic was super good too so wasn't sure how to rate it. Imo starting fights with high TP is a huge benefit and makes the Katana very good.

  • @SageAtoreis

    I will only list what I would change :P
    S tier:
    Naegling - Using in similar way like Tizona (with TP bonus offhand), this weapon is easily 2nd (tho I would say it shares this position with weapon below) best after R15 Tizona and actually have more accuracy for offhand. The attack bonus makes it probably even rival Tizona in situation when it has a pDIF advantage. It's also bis for COR by miles. It helps a lot to reach attack cap. I think you underestimate that attack bonus. It's even more important now, when the idea of fighter's roll or rogue roll over chaos roll doesn't help CORs.
    A tier:
    Maxentius - This weapon is actually a beast for BLU. It actually rivals Naegling for 2nd place when used with TP bonus sword offhand (It totally wrecks enemies weak to blunt). It's more than just WS spam weapon tho, it's effect of magic burst damage is not that great for mage jobs, because this effect apparently adds to normal Magic Burst Bonus and caps at 40%. BLU doesn't have much Magic Burst Bonus in typical gear, so it's the best weapon for magic bursting, but also best weapon for free nukes. Especially for our staple spamable spell Subduction, which gets even more from it, because of high magic damage on Maxentius. The bis set is actually Maxentius + Kaja rod.
    B tier:
    Drepanum - It's worse than Angut for spaming WSs, but if you for example want to make darkness with someone using Gravitation, then this weapon is very powerful when holding TP and using it for something like that. Its not bad. Imo something between B and C tiers.
    Do we actually know how Great Sword works? Is it effect similar to Armor Break, but possibly stronger? In theory this weapon could go straight to A tier only for having for example -30% def down effect on WS :P

      pretty sure great sword mirrors sword effect (applying to all weapon skills so it can be used for resolution spam, and "lowering defense" by the amount of enfeebling magic on the target monster / gives the weapon skill an ignore X defense effect)

    @JishnusRadiance 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for putting out these videos bro, really appreciate them! Question: So with the polearm, can I used Crit Chance gear like Flamma gloves +2 to try and make up the crit chance when TPing under 2k TP? Would you recommend WS dmg gear or Crit Dmg (on war)?

    • @EjinCaitsith
      @EjinCaitsith  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. I'd focus on as much WSDMG as possible. Impulse scales incredibly well at high TP, plus with the polearm the more TP you have the high chance you have to crit.
      The general idea is you can pump out massive damage gearing for WSDMG and try to boost your crit from outside buffs and high TP.

  • @atomicskull6405
    @atomicskull6405 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The dagger WS is freakishly strong when paired with the Mummu +2 set and fortia belt and neck. It's almost as if the dev team forgot they had updated Evisceration a few years ago. Evisceration has a fixed fTP 1.5 on all hits (fTP of 9 total when dual wielded) and it's one of those weird WS where gear that increase fTP affect all hits of the WS. With the above mentioned gear it's the best unstacked WS in the game for THF and just plain the best option for DNC in most cases. In situations where you would still use your REMA it's the best option offhand because it has DPS equivalent to a Twashtar or Mandau and also still gives you the ACC and ATT stat boost (though not the critical hit and WS boost). And the best offhand option for Tauret is itself one stage lower (Kaja) for the same reason.
    So fTP 1.5+ .2 from the belt and neck and .5 from the dagger and you have a WS with an fTP of 13.2. Unless it's just a straight 50% multiplier after everything in which case it'd be more like fTP 15.3, but most things that increase WS damage with that wording actually increase the fTP of the WS so it's probably just adding .5 to each hit. You've basicly got a weapon that can throw out the equivalent of a 2000~ tp Rudras at 1000tp that can also crit.

  • @XxAtomic646xX
    @XxAtomic646xX 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The sword effect vs just the kaja sword is a HUGE deal on cor, cor doesnt reach capped attack easily like war, so the more buffs cors have the better cors get.

    • @EjinCaitsith
      @EjinCaitsith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It only gives bonus attack on WS based on how many attack buffs you have, not how many buffs you have. If you're already using attack buffs or fraitly/fury/chaso you probably don't need the effect attack bonus.

I guess white damage isn't important on a lot of content so it's not that big of a deal though. But still, guaranteed double attack means it's a 4 hit setup basically, with more white damage.

      @@SycosenMerihem Yeah the extra TP feed is a good point. I could see that being not very desirable in a lot of situations. Honestly, I think TP feed makes a lot of jobs problematic in the current state of the game, it's one thing that is kind of annoying. Subtle blow needs to be made less exclusive, or more battles should be focused around monster TP regain rather than being fed it from hits. But hey, I'm probably just whining about things that will never be so it's pointless lol.
      On bg-wiki it says "This means that for every hit, your TP/hit will not be modified in any way from Store TP; making this Great Katana always yield 127 TP/hit." So, if it has a -50 store tp value on it I guess that means stacking up store tp with the weapon is harder than a normal GK? And yeah, if zanshin and Hasso don't work then yeah it would still be F tier for sure haha, agreed.

      @@SycosenMerihem Thanks for the video, I see how it works now. If the passive procs, it makes all hits from the multi hit always do 127 tp return. If you have less than 100 store tp, and it doesn't proc the multi hit passive, the one swing is treated as normal and you still get the extra TP gain from store tp. But yeah, it's sad that the video creator didn't do some TP gain testing on things like normal double attack/triple attack rate procs from gear, or zanshin procs like you said. I'd be interested to see how the TP gain works on double attacks and triple attacks from gear procs rather than the passive, or if it treats them the same and forces them to return 127. The video did a great job explaining the basic mechanics of the weapon though!
      I still think in situations where white damage matters, Hachimonji could be a good weapon. Ninja does get a lot of subtle blow options, but I'm not sure about SAM.. so in cases where feeding a mob TP is a no no, of course this weapon wouldn't be ideal.. but I could see some cases where it would do pretty well because of the huge increase in white damage. Idk, I don't think it's F tier, maybe C or B at best. It looks interesting at the very least, and it's probably best in slot for ninja anyways at the very least.
