WS - Spinning Attack

[Kriegsgott]

just wonder if none care about the short AoE range from Spinning Attack or if few people Agree with me for geting a little AoE range bonus for Spinning Attack

and yeah i know the WS text is a bit different from other AoE Weaponskills like >

1. Spinning Attack - Delivers an area attack. Radius varies with TP.
2. Aeolian Edge - Delivers an area attack that deals wind elemental damage. Damage varies with TP
3. Earth Crusher - Delivers an area of effect earth elemental attack. Damage varies with TP.

i like to tank multiple mobs and this would make it easier to get hate on all mobs like a thf could do it with Aeolian Edge

shame on you my MNK's friends not a single reply !

The entire WS needs to be buffed for the range to matter. It is incredicly weak.

[Sarick]

Why they are at it fix shoulder tackle or One inch punch attacks that do mid level non-elemental/elemental damage.

Out side staff or club not much on the elemental WS H2H.

Pull out a pole, throw up counterstance, use cataclysm.

[Mirage]

That's a pretty dumb idea.

my spinning attack hits 400-1800 dmg or so in abyssea

Actually using a Staff with Counterstance isn't a bad idea, I've done it myself to cleave on MNK/WAR.. Pop on a PDT set use defender and counterstance and you are more durable than most warriors trying to cleave. I can also attest that the four people that I did this for to complete Itzapoplotl items for didn't think it was dumb

[Babekeke]

Counterstance + Defender.... Am I the only person that sees the flaw in that plan?

You'd be more durable without counterstance. Defender -PDT and you also ws more frequently since you get tp for getting hit more often. No TP when you caounter. And with tactical guard, you get even more TP when you guard, which you can't do if you counter it instead.

Do I seriously need to record a video doing this to show effectiveness?
