Description of the bug:

Hello,

After September update, the statistic "Weapon skill damage +%" started to work for all hits on multi hit weapon skills. Previously that statistic was only working for first hit only. It drastically changes the game balance and gear sets for a lot of weapon skills.

For test I was doing to confirm it, I was using weapon skill Guillotine, but I noticed the same for other weapon skills like Resolution, Entropy and other people noticing it for pretty much every multi hit weapon skills.

Is that a bug, or is that an intended fix/change?

Regards,
Bartek

Dont fix it

Well there goes the one thing that semi balance the DD jobs >.>

The only WS this severely imbalances that I can see is Resolution. For most other WS it just brings them more in line with the high fTP single hit WS. If Resolution is a major issue here, I'd rather they keep this change and nerf resolution.

Resolution is already broken on buffed RUN with Aeonic. Now with this change and Aeonic augments, RUN will be top DD while also being really tanky. If WSD for multhit stays, Resolution would require a serious nerf or else it will be seriously OP and push WAR, DRK and RUN even more above other DD jobs.

That being said, this change also affects hybrid WSs to the point where you will see 99k damage on Blade: Chi and Tachi: Jinpu, which is quite broken too.

Possibly also Entropy with Anguta, but not as much as Resolution probably.

I've tested Entropy with Anguta and 70% Weapon Skill Damage, don't worry its still bad, just not as bad. At 3000 TP it was doing around 33,000 damage.

/edit
For reference, Entropy still loses to Cross Reaper, for instance.

WHAT BUFFS WERE USED IN THE CHI SCREENSHOT, BECAUSE THIS WAS ALREADY POSSIBLE BEFORE THIS CHANGE AND THEY AREN'T "QUITE BROKEN". IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN AND SE NEVER GAVE FACKLE ABOUT IT. CAPS ARE INTENDED BECAUSE I'M YELLING!!!

I would like to know too. Ruaumoko threw them on us and probably went to sleep He tends to do his little tests on Apexes with trust only tho. But only he can give us some answers.
