    If you have a 30% proc rate on your mainhand and a 30% procrate in your offhand, you'd still get the exact same number of procs on your Kanaggi. The only diff is the extra damage you bring in from your offhand procs.

    How would you lose damage?
    i was thinking when using a multihit as an offhand (which in your next post indicates that one shouldn't use a multi-hit as offhand)

    Using a multihit in the offhand, despite the increased TP gain, will deal much, much less damage overall than using a powerful, single-hit weapon in the offhand. This is especially true inside Abyssea where you have high native TA/DA traits from Atmas, but it is still true outside. The poor weapon rank of multihit weapons caps their fStr extremely low, and makes them nigh-worthless.

    Even when you do use a multi hit as an offhand, how would you lose damage?

    Let's say you have a Kanaggi and a multihit weapon that averages 3 hits per attack round.

    10 attack rounds

    Kanaggi - 10 hits
    Multihit - 30 hits.

    Now, 30% ODD rate and only procs on Kanaggi

    10 x (.3) = 3 hits that have double damage Kanaggi
    30 x 0 = 0 hits that have double damage for Multi hit


    Now, 30% ODD rate that procs on both weapons
    10 x (.3) = 3 hits that have double damage on Kanaggi
    30 x (.3) = 9 hits that have double damage on Kanaggi


    Both instances have the exact same number of Kanaggi strikes to deal double damage. The only diff is if that it procced on both, you get 9 hits of your multihit that get double damage.

    How on earth is this lowering your damage?
