So the real question is... Anyone ever calculated what %total damage comes from auto-attack?

With all the combos my guess would be that its probably under 30%, which would give a big advantage to base damage over delay since WS are not affected by delay

And TP gain is affected by DPS, not delay, so a 2% potential (considering that TP is not only gained from auto-attack, but also from damage taken and several abilities) difference in TP gain from higher DPS does not seem much

What I don't understand in why the paladin in the vid is running around when Garuda has a knockback skill instead of staying on the edge of the battlefield like with Ifrit's...

or why they took a pld instead of a war

like someone already mentioned , its all about builds, brute power vs speed % precision, builds arent just weapons ofcourse, consider armor slots , accessories, materia , even cross class abilities in some cases. question for all you min/max dorks will be, can you use garuda's low delay + other stat, to build a speed build that trumps current ifrit brute power builds? acc/store tp materia will be part of speed/precision build , obviously.

personally i dont give a shite if speed build doesnt overtake power build, i predict it wont, as long as its viable.
if anything it might come down to class/job, i can see it working out for MNKs .

@Fionlagh The thing is the difference wont' be enough to matter, perhaps prior to getting a strategy down every little last scrap of DPS will matter but in a few weeks when we all have this on farm it wouldn't even matter if 1 person is standing in the back twiddling their thumbs.

exactly, wich is why i have a disdain for this type of arguement, because its mostly min/max mentality , not all, just saying theres alot of it, too much IMO. garuda weapons wont be garbage just because they dont out parse ifrits, they will have their place, wether its situational, aesthetic, or just best choice for players that dont have ifrits.

i only take issue with min/max dorks (not all min/maxers btw, just the elitist wannabes, no youre not and cant be an elitist , youre playing a game) who post worthless crap like "garuda weapons are garbage " more like what you said is garbage
