    Rudra's problem is that it sucks unstacked. If they gave it the ability to critical hit without changing anything else about it, the weaponskill would instantly become much more useful. It would suddenly have a 30-40% chance to critical hit and we could probably just spam it and maintain Twashtar aftermath.

    Considering the damage isn't really that mindblowing when using it with SA/TA/CF, I don't think this is really so far out of line. If I do the same damage as an average Ukko's Fury when I use Climactic Flourish -> Rudra's Storm (which adds 20% damage with AF3+2 head), then letting it crit normally shouldn't be an issue.


    Torcleaver sucks compared to Resolution, which is its competition.

    Cloudsplitter is worse than Primal Rend unless you are using a brew.

    Wild Fire is fine, but Last Stand is also very powerful. I don't really think this requires adjustment.

    While wild fire and last stand are fine, Laeden salute is beneath earth atm. The WS sucks from a modifier point of view and the lack of dmg is just fucked, not to mention that alot of mobs (especially NMs) tend to resist the shit out of dark magic elements.

    All mythic WS except DRG and PUP needs adjustment tbh. Would make Mythic a lot better than it is now.

    Agreed. I think Mercy Stroke, Rudra's Storm and Mandalic Stab all have the same problem....They were unlucky enough to be programmed as Dagger WS They suck.

    If you don't combine them with job abilities, their damage won't outdo a WS you obtain at level 60. The Ability timer bottleneck forces you to use non Relic/Mythic/Empyrean WS unstacked to do BETTER damage than the Relic/Empyrean/Mythic you spent your heard earned money and time to obtain.

    And the Positional restriction on THF job abilities limits this even further.

    This really should not be the case for these "Ultimate Weapons."

    Because resolution is broken. If you are going to compare to resolution, then every other WS in the game needs buffed. They just need to fix resolution to be in line with the other merit WS.

    Upheaval: 4.2 ftp, vit mod, 158 base damage weapon
    Entropy: 3.8 ftp, int mod, 167 base damage weapon
    Stardiver: 3.8 ftp, str mod, 159 base damage weapon
    Resolution: 4.59375 ftp, str mod, 143 base damage weapon

    Torcleaver: 4.95 ftp, 60% vit mod, 142 base damage weapon

    Resolution is ~9.5% ahead of upheaval on ftp, and the str mod more than makes up for the lower damage weapon. Resolution is ~20% ahead of entropy and stardiver, but polearms damage per hit is only ~6% higher than gswords after wsc and fstr, and obviously entropy gets screwed with the int mod. Torcleaver isn't that far behind stardiver, like 9% worse. If resolution were brought in line with stardiver it would be reasonable.

    BS

    Ruinator is stronger then resolution. Only the fact that it's 1H limits it's power.

    Apoc with both Catastrophe and Entropy gives you crazy sustain of both HP and MP. With the Haste aftermath you can wear a ton of -PDT and solo almost any 75 content.
    Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....
