Twashtar and Mandau are identical in delay/dmg by 99 making the only outstanding difference between the two is that one has +20dex and unique WS rudra's storm, the other has +40att, poison add effect (big whoop) and hidden 3x dmg at ~13% proc on first hit of every round with the weapon.
Now lets compare: Mercy stroke +40% dmg mildly beats out Rudra's storm only when used at 100~200%, at 200+ Rudra's comes out the victor. As stated before the 3x damage hidden procs only on first hit of every round making it only a 13% proc if there is no da/ta hits and becomes lower if you base it on attacks rather than round, Aftermath of Rudra's procs on all hits of the weapon and is ODD. One it str based, other is dex based....and both suck a good deal without forced crit hit abilities. Last but not least, in offhand +20 dex still works.....for mandau not a god damn thing works it is just a 55dmg/178delay dagger
As far as I'm concerned, but 99 these weapons are equal in overall utility. I'm not sure how this will make a dnc stronger than a thf given the fact it is roughly the exact same thing as emp just has more restrictions on it.
