Weaponskills That Need Most Refinement

[SpankWustler]

I think Cloudsplitter really pulls ahead of the pack in terms of "being awful". A lot of disappointing weapon skills make sense in some kind of vacuum; there is no such mercy from Cloudsplitter.

Cloudsplitter is magical, like Wildfire. It is attached to the same tier of weapon as Wildfire, namely, an Empyrean weapon. It has a lower fTP than Wildfire until somewhere around 250% TP. It has no fWhatever, as opposed to the 2x fAGI value of Wildfire. Being attached to an axe makes Cloudsplitter impossible to use while wielding a weapon that profoundly enhances magical weaponskills, which is very much an option for Wildfire.

Yes, Cloudsplitter does have a 80% secondary modifier if the STR and MND are added together, but that means very little even on paper now that a bunch of weaponskills with 100% modifiers and combined fTPs of 4+ exist.

If Camlann's Torment and Quiteus were mentally challenged men who sorted glass or bussed tables to pay for modest apartments, never realizing the profound sadness contained within their lives; Cloudsplitter would be an invalid who uttered "wwwWWWWWuuuugggGG" in the general direction of his caregiver each time he soiled himself, overcome with joy each time he buried his face in a microwaved Swanson's chicken pot-pie.

Similar to the first bro who completed a level 85 Farsha, his caregiver would know a kind of despair that few can reckon.
