Coruscanti: Working As Intended?

[Asymptotic]

If only it didn't take so long counting this all up by hand ;-;

If Coruscanti's broken, I can't wrap my mind around how Coruscanti could break that way. It's not doing what the Warrior and Thief Empyrean sets are doing, so they didn't just copy that effect.

If Coruscanti's working, I can't wrap my mind around a person actively making Coruscanti work that way. It's an incredibly convoluted effect that must have taken a lot of time to create yet it accomplishes so little that people thought it did nothing for months.

There is only one response.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on it. I'll add my own picture to show what face I made when we figured out what was going on:



Also, special thanks to the following people who helped me unwrap this weapon:

Crimy of Bismarck - killed Bluffalo while I tested to keep their levels high, and disposed of any that aggroed me of the wrong level for specific test.
Markas of Bismark - killed Crabs while I tested to keep their levels high, and disposed of unwanted friends.
Byrth of Lakshmi - helped make sense of the data.
Motenten of Fenrir - helped make sense of the data.
Vrtreya of Asura - helped make sense of the data.

I'll let you all know when we officially figure out if it's capping attack or not.

Think it may be auto-capping attack or ignoring defense all together, which still doesn't make this effect anything less than lackluster.



If it happened 10% of hits, instead of 10% chance to happen on a multi-attack, the effect would actually be sort of worth going after.

As it stands, there's virtually no reason to get this dagger. Anyone serious enough to have the time to "seriously" go after this dagger (in other words, do many hundreds to thousands of Qilins) has the time to build a Twashtar or Mandau, at which point this dagger is competing for your offhand slot, and loses miserably to STR Thokcha in almost all scenarios (yes, Coruscanti's crappy effect works while offhanded).

Is it a 10% proc rate of all multihits or just DA / TA? If it's in your off hand is it 10% of all off hand hits or just 10% of DA / TA from off hand?

10% of DA / TA from off hand

This. It never processes on the first hit with Coruscanti.

[Longshot]

Sounds like a demonry ring that only procs 10% of the time, i.e. I can stop caring about Coruscanti.

Thanks was just curious. Then I guess yeah, pretty worthless (the additional stat). Wonder how it stacks against other daggers though.

the lv 95 STR magian dagger was on par/slightly better depending on situation (not counting the special effect since it was unknown) so the level 99 is definately better. and is easy to get.

Not really. Demonry Ring is a set percentage. The benefit of an ODSD proc depends heavily on your Attack and the enemy's Defense.

Looking at the triple attack case, normal hits were dealing 49-88 damage, about 65 on average. ODSD processed attacks were doing 101-151 damage, or 126 damage on averae. Damage was roughly doubled for an ODSD proc.

Versus crabs with Scissor Guard up, I was dealing 12-~65 damage with normal attacks (~35 average). ODSD procs were still averaging in the 120s, since it appears to completely ignore defense whatsoever. That's almost quadruple damage.

Still, it should process on 10% of hits in general, not just on multi-attacks. If it's working as intended, the description is extremely misleading. And as it is, it's a disappointingly weak effect.
