A little parsing of the new MNK WS

[Ralos]

I tested out the new MNK WS in sky against birds and pots.

Elvaan
MNK99/THF37
STR 98 +30
DEX 88 +5
VIT 93 +12
AGI 73
INT 69
MND 84
CHR 76

ATK 576 DEF 385

#s based on TP when used between 100 and 120% and out of 30 WSs per mob.

I tested it in comparrison to vistory smite and at two different merrit values: 2/5 and 5/5

victory smite did 1300-1600 on pots and birds both

At 2/5:
the WS did 900-1200 on birds and 1000-1200 on pots

At 5/5:
I'm not sure if it was accuracy or what but the #s whacked out a little bit
On birds it did 1100-1700 which is a pretty big gap in my opinion and it was never consistent. on pots it did 1400-2000 which is a big difference in it's relation to bird damage when it was at 2/5

Just throwing the numbers out there that I found.

oh and it looks awesome!

Hmm i was not getting anywhere near those numbers with 5/5 merits, but I was sub war with atk food, agressor up, and berserk up. Atk was 999 on ws.

Averaging 700-900 on TW mobs with 100 tp using a dex build for ws swap. (+68 dex / 45 str on ws)

Only time i saw it break 1k dmg was with 300 tp. I guess I could try in abyssea and see what kinda max numbers I could get but I was not very impressed with the dmg on too weak mobs.

I am a bit surprised at your numbers Dfoley. I took pup to cape and with just tp gear on and blm sub (just wanted to try ws) I was averaging 2000, 1800 as a low 2400 as high. No buffs, no food nothing.
