Torcleaver needs a buff

[RichardNixon]

Hello, I'm making this thread in an effort to bring the fact that Torcleaver needs a buff to compete with some of the other Empy weapon skills. some of the changes i would like are as followed;

75% STR
60%MND
100% 5.75
200% 6.75
300% 8.00

Currently i can barely break 1.2k in abyssea but my friends Ukko's are doing 9k!

[Urteil]

If anything the 'magic' mod should be INT not MND.

[Rezeak]

With the right atma u should be capping 4k-5k with a 2k-2.5k avg and with /THF 7-8k with a 5-6k avg

Also i have done 2k outside of abyssea /SAM so i have no clue how you can only do 1.2k inside.

Anyway as far as Torcleaver goes it's only lacking because it doesn't crit because outside abyssea it's one of the best (top 3 at least only bested by Ukko's and maybe Fudo)

[Neisan_Quetz]

Ukko's, Fudo, Smite, Jishnu's iirc so 5th.

[Gradd]

Torcleaver should average 2.2-2.3k Outside of abyssea properly buffed, spiking as high as 3k. I do alot of Dynamis still and that is usually my average(With my 85 Caladbolg), only place I usually struggle to break 2k is in Xarc.

Torcleaver is very attack Dependent, if you don't have the attack to back it up then you are going to fall short.

I'm going through the same thing, Zicdeh, Gradd and Raen are very aware about my misfortunes in Torcleaver numbers.

I don't think it needs a buff at all. I think I'm just doing something wrong, I don't know... even if I have a lot of ATK in my current setup (and around 10 GS skills bellow the cap I believe), I can't really reach that "stactical damage" I've been dreaming about. Inside abyssea, sometimes it goes as low as 500 dmg. Sometimes as high as 3k.

[Porcius]

Should just get Redemption.

This thread, dear friend, is called "Torcleaved needs a buff". If you don't have anything useful to add, why don't you keep these posts to yourself?

need arg off 850 attack on a normal mob(IT) inside off abyssea to cap PDIF(some mobs needing much much more) fSTR shouldn't be a prob if you want real help PM me on ffxiah will gear sets <_<

working on obtaining caladbolg atm and have started collecting pieces for it, namely workin through salvage for ares bod/trying to get ppls for twilight helm spam.

for hands im thinking heafoc(need) or af+2?
legs probably af+2, other suggestion that could be better?
feet af+2 (as above comment)
neck/waist what? the sea gorget/equivalent belt?
gonna go bombcore or bibiki on ammo
rings are a big question, two terrasouls? rajas? str?attk?
back ima stick with atheling unless some one knows for sure a better rep.
earrings are like the rings... bale/brutal/moonshade w/tp bonus/???

[vedder]

also, i like the look of caladbolg over colibriscythe plus its sooo much easier to get vs a tahrongi emp and hell, i still have adream of winning gil for an apoc lololololol, hell with what theyre doing with dyna who knows, maybe relics will become more obtainable, who knows at this point

[Gradd]

I like the look of colibri scythe, it looks like a Daedric weapon of some sort from Oblivion x:

[vedder]

to each there own of course, im just a big fan of swords in general, aesthetics an all ^_^ if drk was more "grim-reaperish" and not knight-ish id probably be a bigger fan of scythes, or if i had an apoc just cus its really nice looking an im sure SE will buff it up soon enough

I've pm'd Raen, Zic and Gradd about it for countless times. I appreciate, but I think I found my way.

[Taint]

Redemption is terrible.

Torcleaver's biggest downfall is the jobs that can use it.

[vedder]

u mean that they made it pld too? (vit mod ftl....)

You either need to use different atmas, or get better WS gear, 1.2k is terrible for an emp. WS in abyssea, I manage to hold my own against other emp WS in abyssea with Torcleaver. I have both Cala and lvl 90 Redemption, and I totally welcome a VIT mod over a MND mod lol...
