Well, perhaps I just don't mingle enough with the general populace then. I see damage in the 6000-7000 range from the people in my Abyssea group all the time, all different jobs and weapons.

With what? 6-7k is nowhere near regular, those are incredibly lucky hits.

First off, Drakesbane isn't at a disadvantage because it's a Mythic WS. It's the strongest WS in the game just looking at the mods and weapon type that can use it.

To compare Drakesbane and Ukko's:
Drakesbane - Crits, 50% STR, 4 base fTP, 133 base damage weapon
Ukko's Fury - Crits, 60% STR, 3 base fTP, 131 base damage weapon

I'm guessing that you need to start buying Red Curry Buns to go with your relic. Maximum damage potential with Gungnir and Drakesbane should be over 9000 on a piercing neutral target.

Really? My group must be incredibly lucky then! They get that all the time. They're incredibly well geared though, so I suppose that helps. Beats me, I don't play melee jobs generally.

I understand proc spells are expensive nowadays because no one really farms them and they are mandatory for seal ptys, but people can either take the time to farm those spells they need to farm the gil to buy the spells they need just like back in the old days. If a spell costs you about 500k on AH, then maybe join a cruor pty or even an exp pty if you can't find a cruor build pty and get yourself about 200-300k cruor and even that can be turned into 500k or more gil. I really don't think it will take you more than 6 hours in one day to do this and in the end it'll be worth it.

If you're too lazy to do the above mentioned then perhaps it's time for you to lvl another job like a thf or something where you don't need to spend a lot of gil on mandatory spells.

Ukko's has a potential to hit 11k-12k with perfect pdif rolls, set bonus activations, etc as well provide perfect conditions, though the chances of it occuring are about 0.825%.

There is still no proof that set bonuses can activate on weaponskills. Drakesbane can break 9000 with 2 Triple Attacks and 8 crits (.016% chance) and good pDIF rolls, but only if you're fighting monsters with that much HP. Also, your odds of a max damage Ukko's are higher than reality.

It's hard for me to find fault in your signature, but it isn't proof of anything. My Dancer does over 5k Eviscerations on Blood Bats in Tahrongi. Lets move away from EM monsters with piercing weaknesses before we have this discussion. <_<

My signature's been changed, if you havent noticed, to something with 50% piercing resistance.

That could easily be a brewed Drakesbane. In fact, I'm willing to bet it is. 6934*1.5=10401. Seems about right for a brew.

Why do you obsessively take pictures of your damage?

You seem to have a big epeen issue, methinks.
