Emp Axe

[Calamity]

Fact is, many of us farsha owners were hoping against hope that SE might see fit to improve this sad WS. Our hopes however were dashed, possibly forever by official word from SE that under the most silly, obscure circumstances (inside abyssea, with all 3 of our atmas aimed specifically at cloudsplitter, with 300% tp, an ascetics drink, perfect MAB build, etc, etc, that it could rake in a whopping 4k dmg, and was therefor powerful enough and in no need of improvement. So the sad truth is not only is it now a fairly useless ws, it seems like it will never see better days.

You forgot that it was a WAR using it and not a BST, so they got an extra 50 tp from warcry merits, and an extra 50% damage from maxed out restraint.

I still think they pulled the numbers out of their ass, because they said in the same post that it outdoes primal rend. naked, in appropriate gear, and with appropriate atmas, primal always wins. And a lot less stuff resists light than resist thunder, too.

That's a point I been making about the new ws, they actually do more damage then some empyreans and keep pace with others. It's another insult from SE, why waste your time doing nay empyreans unless you are gearing all 20 jobs and need the empyreans for jobs you can't use your 3 fully merited easy to lol get ws with merits. Not that empyreans are back breaking to get, they still require far more effort to acquire and cahnces are no perle sam bst is running around with cloud splitter, but a perle bst will out damage you with the new sympothy ws for bst if your using an empyrean with cloud splitter. It's retarded. Reward the hard workers, nah, just gve everyone a ws that out performs empyreans and call it a day. I understand, if 5 years after empyreans they want the rest to catch up, but come on, the empyreans just came out and they are being outclassed, wtf are these people in SE doing? I tought they wanted people building empyreqans as a time sink, not just saying why bother if I can casually xp my jobs and skill up and while I'm doing that save merits for ws that are just as good if not better than empyrean. The expansions came out too fast and so did the level caps come out too fast and too late, and now they blow through new contenet which makes stuff outdated the minute you aquire it. I want an add-on too, but slow it down, or release gear that isn't replaced in six months, don't have people doing empyrean magian trails get the same results as the casual player (saying, oh empyrean gets aftermath is the dumbest answer I've hear, to distinguish two ws from each other and say that aftermath seperates then is &%#), reward vs. performance, balance vs. power, where is this?
