Two-Handed WS Update?

No, the DEX and AGI bonus contribute a trivial amount of damage to Rudra's as it is currently. You're free to do the math, but I doubt it would be over 5% of the total damage. Their main benefit is to force a critical hit.

If that is true then DNC/THF is actually better than THF because they have Sneak Attack and Trick Attack in addition to Climactic Flourish.

[Byrth]

Trick Attack doesn't force a crit until THF gains the Assassin trait (level 60) and /THF also doesn't give access to Bully so SA is much less viable.

We can perhaps revisit this epeen contest after Charis Tiara +4 comes out, but for the moment THF is the better skillchain closer (at least with Vajra).

Now if they put the dex/agi bonus onto base dmg like a wsc it would be rather interesting... or they could but the dex/agi bonus into /thf which iirc it was back before NA release. Wont change much but would be funny too see people /thf again lol.

It would be nice if they did something like that to make the added damage more relevant. Especially since that is two of thf's job point categories. 10/10 job points in it would only give you something like 50 extra damage, which isn't very much in the grand scheme of things. It also makes it pretty pointless to gear for agi when using trick attack. You need something like 10 agi to be worth 1 point of dex at 2000tp.

If they had did something like that they wouldn't have needed to boost rudra's ftp so high in the first place, but they still would have needed to change one of the other ws so there would be a good unstacked dagger ws. However none of this even matters any more, hindsight 20/20 yadda yadda.

uh..

If this ability is used by a Thief, the next strike will also receive a bonus of 1 base weapon damage for every point of DEX the player has when the attack hits.

Yeah it says base damage, but it's actually added after the ftp of a weapon skill.

Uh....

"For Sneak Attack with Thief main, the calculation is WD = ( D + fSTR + WSC) * fTP + DEX"

If it really was just added to base dmg that would basically double the strength of a lot of strong 1 hit ws

[Metaking]

dont forget what the gloves do for that as well >.>;

[darkhorror]

If they keep Rudra's where it is they should just go back and look at all the RME, Quest, and Merit WS. Use people who know the math of the WS's and how the caps work, knows what gear would be used, and abilities to boost them.
