^^ Well you know I give a damn about'em Leon!
I bet I could post damage numbers on every other hard hitting weapon a WAR can wield that comes within a few hundread or at the most maybe a thousand of what Ukko's can do outside Abyssea. I could probably post great moderate damage on Hand-to-hand as well. That's Sword, Staff(already posted this video), Scythe, Polearm, Dagger, Club, Axe, Great Sword, and even toss in some Archery on /RNG.
Call it a challenge if you like, but I think it's necessary to show and prove what I've been saying all this time about the potential of WARs sub weapons is true. I'm not trying to disprove one bit that Great Axe isn't the Optimal choice for dealing damage on WAR, but only trying to validate what most don't seem to understand about our other weapons. They're not meant to be "better" than our main weapon since that wouldn't make sense at all, but rather, they're testaments of our versatility and expertise with other weapons in the game.
A WAR by design can, should they wish to do so, select any of the weapons in their arsenal and dish out moderate to high damage numbers consistently. The "choice" to do so is there, which is unique in that no other job in the game can exercise the same freedoms. I'm more excited about the "reworking" of all weaponskills game-wide than I am about new weaponskills to be honest lol. Ukko's is a beast of a WS and it will most likely remain so for a while to come, so with it's damage safe where it is, that leaves the window open to experiment with other weapons. I just find it very entertaining to switch it up sometimes to see how far I can push my limits. Sadly, few WARs actually believe the same, which is fine of course, but they're missing out on a large part of what the DEVs designed WAR to excel at and that just means they're only partly playing the job in regards to it's potential.
This isn't a means to argue anything, so I'll just start gathering videos over time to post. All damage will be outside Abyssea numbers. Since I have my Staff video done, I'll post that 1st, but the others will follow soon.• Staff
