[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Arcon]

I was just realizing... Ninja gets Great Katana skill of 357 naturally: why can't NIN use Tachi: Shoha?

I don't remember them being skill based, or am I wrong? Maybe in the sense that only jobs with C+ or higher skill rating have access to those WS, which NIN doesn't (C- for Great Katana). It's still not based on any particular skill level, from what I understand.

Well...on the bright side, Resolution HAS to be the best Great Sword weaponskill, right? I mean....you can't screw away a WS and make a 5 hitter on part with Spinning Slash...


Right?

[Alerith]

Just unlocked Resolution and am tinkering with it now. At 100% TP and 1/5 merits, it does exactly the same damage as Spinning Slash. At 300% TP, it does roughly 1300 damage.

Witholding judgement until I have more merits into it, but since it's base is at least on par with Spinning Slash, I'm cautiously optimistic.

It's going to be better than Spinning Slash. It rivals or surpasses Torcleaver in many situations.

Aye, I saw those videos, but that was before SE "Balanced" them... I'm just making sure Resolution didn't get a huge breakoff like the rest did.

they all have a huge break off at 1/5, 2/5 and 3/5. almost all of them have one at 4/5 too. By this I mean they all completely suck until 5/5

[Alerith]

So it's at a spinning slash level until 5/5 where it becomes a 5 hit torcleaver? o.o

Dear SE,

...Who the hell designs this shit?

So where do you start these Weapon skills? I couldn't find the guy on widescan , was the data mining wrong?
