Axe trials

[Gotterdammerung]

I dont know about the new trial tp bonus weapons but the old martial weapons only work while in main hand.

And you dont get Cloudsplitter without Farsha in your main hand.

So martial weapons wont work.

If the Trial +100 tp bonus axe works the same way it wont work either.

The trial tp bonus axe does work in your off hand.

baem, i really checked everything on wiki, except the tp-bonus itself >
but the trial axe is tp bonus +100
while marital axe is tp-bnous
+stats usually work for both hands don't they?
like DA+10%.
hm main handing martial axe and offhanding the trial axe (if it works in offhand) would be a 11 base dmg loss.
hmmm but calamity as example got damage multiplier of 4 at 300% and also its 32% str/vit based and rampage has 30% str mod. now with twilight helm/mail calamity would get str/vit+10 from helm and str/vit+15 from body.
so 32% of 25 str and 32% of 25 vit for calamity, should give more dmg as 30% of 25 str as it is on rampage. at least outside of abyssea. and inside abyssea the 300% tp rampage would give 50% crit rate combined with RR another 30% and add 4% crit rate from merits + crit rate from dex and it should almost always do max dmg, (thinking of 95% crit rate + 95% acc)

What kind of tests did you do to find this out?

cloudsplitter gets a large boost at 200% TP (not enough to make it useful though). So my test was simple. I would ws on a mob at 100% TP w/o the TP bonus axe in my offhand and then again with it. I did this a few times just to make sure there where no resists(cloudsplitter actually gets resisted a lot). I haven't tried this with the martial axe but i will once i see one for sale.
