STR/PIE/ATK Testing

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

Would double or triple melded Hart Guisarmes not surpass the Harpoon now, especially with the more stress placed on stats? Also, a Tort Scale Mail with the materia(s) as opposed to the cobalt? I would test myself but I'm poor ;;

Edit: Also, what Parser are you using? I am trying to test the assorted weps and jewelry I have, but sometimes the Parser I use (BG's) doesn't capture all the data...

It never could surpass ifrit's harpoon because of how big a difference the base dmg is.

Does anyone have parse data for this? This just means I need Ifrit's Harpoon more than ever to test it meself :3

You could do a poor man's version of it, get a polearm that has dmg = to what you're missing from the hart to the ifrits, the numbers will be askew, but it will give you a good view of the difference DMG rating has. (hart and vintage guisarme have 16 point difference, hart and ifrits have 16 point difference) It won't be perfect but it can serve as an illustration i would think.

But then I would have to double meld the lower lance and get a NQ version of the Hart to reflect the difference, wouldn't I? lol I probably won't try another double meld for awhillllle.

Speaking of poor man's version though; why wouldn't you just take the AFs 10STR and 7PIE over the Double Melded Felt's 12STR?

Edit: If I'm bugging anyone with the questions, especially you Sekien, please let me know. I enjoy debating and discussing various ways of doing/testing things, as well as numbers ^^;
