Cloudsplitter

It isnt fake, the original thread can be found here.

The dev reply is on the 2nd page, 6th post from the top.

There is a chance that I mistranslated it, though. My Japanese skill is very limited, and all derives from playing video games. If anyone is fluent in Japanese that can more accurately translate it, please do.

What the hell game are they playing then? Just went outside jeuno and did each ws on the same cockatrice. 620~Cloudsplitter and 740~primal rend with the same gear for both WS's. (and since the farsha adds 7 STR and 7 MND, but no CHR, that's already giving an unfair advantage to cloudsplitter.)

In what game is cloudsplitter stronger? And in what game is it even possible to do a 4k cloudsplitter. Mine does 2k~ with full Matt gear, RDM sub, Lion/Blinding Horn/ baying moon, and an ascetics. Even if I had Lion/ultimate/Hell's Guardian and an 11 wizard roll with a BLM in the party, that's only 56% more damage, or 3.2k damage. 4k is not even possible.

the flaw here is that while some wpns already had good ws's, they got crappier ones to aftermath with. while some who didnt have as good of ws's got great ones to aftermath with. the real fail here is the aftermath inbalance. while some weapons got good ws's to make them on par with other jobs, it seems SE didnt understand that by giving those ws's aftermath it put them above the ones that got crappier ws's to aftermath with.

lol think that makes sense

No, even if the empyrian ws is inferior to previous weaponskills, it is always the best choice for every weapon when adding the aftermath, since the damage is usually only 1 or 2 aftermath triggers behind the best WS. Victory Smite with a verethegna is better than stringing pummel, even though stringing pummel does a little bit more damage, for example.

Every weapon that is, except farsha.
