Onion cut

I even tried using Onion Cut in full Onion gear, to no avail ; _ ;

Onion Cut
Makes you cry in despair over what a useless ability it is.

i thought it was supposed to do more damage with the less hp you have, thats what i heard, never got into using it though.

When they changed the recast with the release of AA they seemed to change it's damage output... atleast it seems to be on par with howling vortex for me now.

My opinion is that it's more your average 'decent weaponskill' It might not have an added effect, but it seems to consistently do decent damage.

My guess from the description alone is that it would mitigate a certain amount of your target's defense.

Untested, but it's what I pull from it.

The one thing I have noticed about Onion Cut is it always out damages all my other weapon skills. From testing multiple weapon skills during the rank 25 dungeons it does seem to me to generate more enmity then the other weapon skills. It is the primary weapon skill I use.

I also love Luminous Spire

Onion Cut does 100% Slashing damage if I'm not wrong. Maybe that's it.

Hey guys. I'm new, but I remember reading that certain attacks may increase the chance of getting certain drops - such as body parts - or render opponents unable to perform certain attacks. No one has mentioned that so far - there is a short page about it on the Lodestone website. Granted it is pretty hard to tell but perhaps Onion Cut is simple one of those attacks that are more effective against certain enemies and may drop more meat for culinary uses (or something)

For example, perhaps some of the Nefarious/notorious monsters have trouble dropping sought after items because of who it was or how it was that they were killed. Just a hunch on my part - and it's not like we're any hints in game.
