Level 99 Relics and Empyreans

[Leonlionheart]

It should be said, while not the best weapon by far.
Guttler blows Farsha slam out of the water :P

True, but

I have Excalibur and Almace and I found that in non abyssea areas like doing VW Excalibur does surpass Almace in dps.

This is opposite from about 5 testimonials I've heard from owners of both. Also, I've personally seen an Almace and an Excalibur tanking on one mob before, the Excalibur couldn't hold a candle to the Almace. 95Excal vs 85 Almace.

Zumi is trying to tell you what he/she has found, its up to you to listen

Excal has already been shown to be mathematically inferior to Almace outside Abyssea a few times on these boards.

This is Excalibur 95 vs Almace 85. Was doing Jeuno VW today KoR seems to do around 200 more damage on average then CdC. I am getting a lot of 450+ add. damage procs with Excalibur. I switched swords half way through noticed, I did worse almost every time I swapped to Almace.

Working on Alamce 90 though to see if it will preform better then Excalibur.

Was your WS set up to date?

An Annihilator RNG will always outparse a Gandiva RNG because they can spam at will and never pull hate while a Gandiva RNG has to either hold back damage or get faceraped. A dead RNG deals no damage so Annihilator wins the parse.



Which is completely irrelevant because you can never fully utilize that potential. It does not matter if Gandiva can in theory deal higher damage than Annihilator if you can never actually use that potential. Gandiva's DPS is effectively lower than Annihilator in actual use. You're just arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

because FF is only about big monster and never about killing a lot of lesser monster (einehjar2?, nyzul2 kill all floor? limbus2?) where you wont get hate, you will just kill monster faster.

ang GG already said that anhi has utility

As far as Empyrean's being King of absolutely anything is completely dependent on the job the Empyrean is for and the caliber of player that utilizes the weapon.

Current standing augments made on weapons are unbalanced. They know this, they see it. They have stated that upon Level 99, afterwards balancing will take place between the final trials of these weapons. What I can see is that the thought out the path of Empyreans well, and have been implementing more appeal to Mythics. A strange order.

However, if the balancing is to be taken seriously then it's going to show a lot. In time, at this current stage in the game the hardest weapons to obtain are Mythics and by that right they have gained Occ. Attacks Twice or Thrice at what has been stated to be a 40 40 20 Rate. Which is fairly intense. These weapons also bolster +15% Damage Increase to their respective WS. King's Justice, Drakesbane are amongst two of the most powerful in the Mythic case.

As far as Relic Weapons go their power has been enhanced slightly however, not enough to compensate for some. They still require massive balancing in the aftermath scenario.

The new introduction of After circle has been mentioned, and hopefully that'll be something great and beneficial for all weapons as well as the wielder.
