Out of the other empy WS in need of adjustment CS is the weakest outside of a brew that I know of.

Why is SE giving Axe so many elemental WS lately? Bora Axe, Cloudsplitter, Primal Rend.

Bora Axe isn't actually elemental, and Primal Rend was given to BST something like half a decade ago. Apart from that, I don't know.

I have to agree, maybe it's the lack of a dINT in the damage formula, but, this ws is quite the letdown compared to the way other ws take off huge chunks of HP. WAR (Sanguine) and BST (Primal) both already have comparable elemental dmg ws and Rampage beats them all anyway for making things dead.

This ws really needs help. If not more dmg than some kind of stun effect and additional effect strong paralyze, like Mind Blast. Something to justify its use over Rampage.

some ideas that would differentiate it:

An AoE effect
Make the aftermath affect pets as well.
Give a useful additional effect (least desirable)

Make the damage physical and on-par with the other Empyrean weapons would help. A lot.

I would not be in favor of changing it to a physical WS. Being able to burn down 3 Rani's, and drop Cuijatender to 30% with one brew is what the WS currently does right. It is just in need of some sort of tweak to make it compete with Rampage in normal melee situations. Some sort of decent added effect like paralyze, blind, amnesia etc. Combine that with a boost to the Ftp so that the damage is at least in the neighborhood of low end rampages with a good WS set. Then it would allow us the benefit of the aftermath. As it stands now there is no reason to even think about using it repeatedly in a normal melee situation.

I think it should be made to do far more damage then rampage while remaining an elemental ws. This is an empyrean ws on a DD weapon were talking about here. You don't see sam's with a masamune using gekko for dding you don't see war's still using raging rush with a yukon. Why the hell am i still stuck with rampage? I have an empyrean weapon for god sake.

also i think all pet job related empyrean weapons should get the aftermath for pets. ie H2H polearm and staff
