Base Empyrean Weapons Need Weaponskills

[Arcon]

I think before SE adds anymore weapon skills at all for any reason they should make them less laughable. The only new WS one I've actually SEEN people use is the war aoe WS and that's mainly for giggles or in abyssea killing frogs in la thiene in mass quantities.

This wasn't meant to add any new weapon skills, and it's about the empyrean WSs (which are very heavily used), not the ones you gain from skill. And even those are used quite often ><

Fell Cleave, Cataclysm and Aeolian Edge all find uses in EXP/TE/KI builds (especially the latter two because of their magical damage), and for the same reason people sometimes use Sanguine Blade, Flash Nova, or w/e other new elemental WSs there are, even if single target. Fell Cleave also happens to be amazing outside of Abyssea for some situations, I've two shot the Moblins for the CoP-fight with it (one shot if you count Sekkanoki WSs as one) and have used it often to get rid of large quantities of mobs. Try a timed Fell Cleave with three Warriors in Dynamis, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Oh, I'm sure Fell Cleave in Dynamis is quite awesome from several wars. I got to do a frog abyssea party once as my war and I've got to tell you that Fell Cleaving groups of frogs was a LOT of fun. Aeolian Edge bothers me because of the modifiers SE gave it. There's no way it's actually useful for a thf and there's no way I'm devoting energy to getting gear JUST for that weapon skill. It's..... retarded.

Base Weapons don't need Weapon Skills. They're fine the way they are and truthfully the trials are way easier then it is to work on say a Mythic Weapon.

didn't read everything but there is a very simple reason (and logic) for not having WS on base empy: base empy are LVL80, WS are lvl85 WS.
and you dont NEED to kill a single NM to pop visions NM you can GC farm all KIs

thus i aggre that the 2nd WoE trial is way too easy (anybody that made WoE 80weapon could upgrade em the day of scars realease)
