NIN: Dripping Blades Question

[SwarleyMcSwarls]

Just wondering if anyone can confirm whether or not the new dripping blades passive now buffs all damage such as raiton, katon, etc.

[FizzyMcFluff]

From what i can tell it affect all of our skills in general so I would assume so. It gives a flat % buff and the tool tip doesn't specify that its "only" certain skills or "not including" jutsu. I've personally not noticed a drop in the damage when i was using them to fate grind to 61 right at the start......If anything it felt like they were hitting harder

[SwarleyMcSwarls]

Awesome. Thanks! I have yet to test out the new ninja stuff but was hoping that flat +20% would be back.

It buffs all actions, which is any weaponskill or ability, but not auto-attacks.

Despite what the tooltip current says it is not buffing the power of any non-physical damage.

Currently in my ilevel 270 gear I get numbers such as:


Raiton: 2934 // Aeolian Edge: 3522 // Hellfire Medium: 3504

This is without the slashing debuff on, by the way. As you can see Aeolian edge is being taken from a 340 potency move to a 408 one thanks to the poison. Raiton itself is 360 potency and is clearly hitting for less, and Hellfire Medium being 400 potency itself comes close to Aeolian Edge's Damage.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just bad translation. Whatever the answer is, as of right now Dripping Blades is just a passive version of your old poisons.

I heard somewhere that the Japanese tooltip says it buffs physical damage

it seems like the English one is just translated wrong

自身のオートアタックを除くアクションによる物理ダメージを5％上昇させる。 "Not including one's personal auto-attacks, increase all physical damage from actions by 5%"

[Arkenne]

yay for miss translations :/

[Laflama_Blanca]

It's very disappointing. My testing also shows the damage buff not applying to Raiton or helfrog. For other jobs +damage is +damage; I wish this was the case with nin.

What about Bhava btw?
Cuz its 550 potency but it doesn't involve using the daggers.
