That alone would probably be enough to make up for the entire 4% Attack increase, not to mention Warcry and Blood Rage last enough to get several WS in.
    If you are using Warrior's Charge for WS's then I am actually fairly sure you don't know what you are doing. Warrior's Charge gives better damage output if used to gain tp faster to do an additional WS not using it during a WS and getting a few extra damage from it.

    Using Warrior's Charge alone with the inherent JA delay will prevent you from doing an extra swing with a little haste (gear cap + spell is probably enough), losing one hit to (maybe) gain another. Remember that a good WAR has almost 30% Double Attack rate in their TP set anyway, which makes it useful only in 70% of all cases, the rest of the time you're just wasting it.

    Theoretically, this would also apply to WS, but with Warrior's Charge up, you can ignore DA equip for WS and focus on ATT/STR. I doubt you'd change your melee gear mid TPing just cause WC is up.

    You can get over 3k damage from it on WS, and on average you prolly get over 1k inside Abyssea.

    You say I don't know what I'm doing, math says you don't know what you're doing. And if you get owned by math, better not flame about others.
