[dev1049] Petition - Make entropy stronger

[Calamity]

Again, 200% for this petition.

However, people keep making arguments that 1 should be stronger than the other, and that Resolution and Entropy shouldn't have the same damage. I still believe they should be the same in damage. If they are, it'll give people that play DRK a real choice in using the type of weapon they love the most; instead of being forced to use 1 weapon over the other because it's clearly better. Make them equivalent so that people can start doing what they want to do and not be ridiculed by everyone else.

But if both weapons did the same damage, what would be the point of having different weapons? Again, it's a trade off, of a weapon that does more damage per hit, and can WS more often getting the weaker ws, vs the weapon that does less damage per hit and takes longer to build tp for a ws getting the stronger. Would the game be better if every weapon were exactly the same just with a different look?

Has anyone tried a long term parse between both these WS's using proper gear sets and weapons? Is the long term damage so catastrophically different? If anyone has done it I would very much like to see these numbers.

You don't have to. Once you calculate the fTP/mods and number of hits it can be mathed out.

The GS weapon has a huge attack penalty making it ok on Fodder but lack luster on anything above that. I'm hoping that these are the not the final forms of the WS and that they are still tweaking them.

Well SE finally paid attention to us, and this thread specifically!

And made Entropy steal MORE MP!

From what I've heard, SE must half read 1/4 or probably less of all posts... I sincerely hope they increase Entropy's damage at least to be superior to Guillotine before release(in my case, regulars for at least 4k seeing as my guillotine's do 3.8 normally).

Even with SE up Guillotine is not doing 3.8k normally.

Entropy is pretty useless, they should give it an attack boost.

In abyssea it will.

w/ 4k hp a 4 hit guillotine will have WS DMG + 2k Se DMG (2500 5 hit, 3000 6 hit)
u can get near 8k hp with the right atmas meaning you can get 5k-6k guillotines (if ya wanna be a total gimp when Souleater isn't up)

Tho saying all this w/e Guillotine does in abyssea Rampage beats it allowing the max 8 hit

Lost me at Abyssea.....and even when I was dumb enough to bring my DRK to Abyssea it wasn't averaging 3.8k with perfect gear and atma.

So like, just read in the "we finally did it" thread, they are reading our posts o_o

So~ how's our little petition here to improve Entropy going? :3
