Requiescat on PLD

Does CDC have an attack bonus? I always see it rocking things it should be failing on even without temps and on RDM.

Exact opposite. It has a hefty attack penalty to the tune of Attack -20%. Thus if you have 650 attack, then your really WSing with 520 attack. Four hits at 100% MND WSC isn't bad, it's actually pretty decent for jobs that have tons of MND gear, but the attack penalty makes it nearly useless vs anything mildly difficult. It's only saving grace so far is that it ignores some resistances like Invincible and the -DT from slimes and undead.

I think you misread? He was asking about CDC, not Requiescat.

Yeah just noticed that, we were talking about Req.

As far as I know CDC doesn't have one, but wouldn't surprise me if it did. It does have the usual +15% crit at 100, which when stacked with high amounts of dDEX lead to crits on nearly half the hits. It's first hit is also 2.25 fTP and has the usual acc bonus that first hits tend to get. If that hit crit's then your looking at a big CDC number, if it doesn't then it's a mediocre number, and if it miss's then it's a low number.

It's more a combination of being a high DEX modded Crit WS that just happens to have a powerful first hit.
