Playing the game isn't their objective.

Getting your 15 mules to wear the gear and thus getting $15 dollars, is.

That's the thing though, this stuff can't even be sent so there is no reason to have it the way it is. I remember years ago I bought a ton of mules for a bonanza to get a specific trust I wanted and some other cosmetic, I got them and then found out I could not send them.

I have not bought a marble since.

Getting a R1 weapon means you'll level your alt, probably. Back in the day, there were people that leveled their alts over cats eye as well. So, it keeps you engaged. Strange to argue *in favor of* more purchasable gacha, but I do agree it's weird so much of it isn't same account sendable.

Will have to wait for the three people across all servers interested in master trials to discuss it.

If you are doing ws at that low of tp, you aren't using prime weapons properly. Tp scaling can not be surpassed by more buffs. You aren't capping dmg lower then 2.5k on any weapon I've used or seen. Also, if you are talking in terns of shear dps out put, you wouldn't be using mp. I am not saying one shouldnt but the fact of the matter is, casting takes time and time limits tp gain / ws frequency/ dmg output.

Depends on buffs there is very small DPS difference between using Origin at 1000+ TP doing 80-90k damage and doing one more attack round to cap damage. Also with enough buffs like SV Aria, absorb STR/INT (with Liberator) and high enough Scarlet, you can reach 99k or very close with avg TP of around 1400+Moonshade /sam and much

I also doesn't suggest to use magic mid fight with bosses. Nether Void + DS Absorb STR with Liberator and bis set has over 7 min duration. You can do it on trash mobs while doing objectives and have it up for boss 5 min later. When there is no trash mobs stops before boss, you can still do that absorb as a pull spell on the boss at start. I haven't tried it on all bosses, but I think it should land with Dark Seal, just with half resisted duration (still long enough for entire fight). Endark II can also be nice and you cast it before fight.

I can not accurately compare the dmg of the GS to the Scythe as I do not own either but I do run with a friend who has stage 4 scythe and I out dps him most times using caldbolg (when I am on drk of cource). The tp gain is slow and try to make up scenarios where it is superior all you want but at the end of the day, it's just not there.

With optimal buffs, but without Savagery sheet suggests Caladbolg and Foenaria stage 4 to have very similar dps alongside Helheim stage 5. Only Stage 5 Foenaria seems to be ahead in this scenario, so it wouldn't surprise me for Caladbolg to beat Foenaria stage 4 in practice, especially with random factors like luck and player skill.

With optimal buffs and Savagery, Caladbolg is significantly ahead of even stage 5 Foenaria, until you change Foenaria setup to 3hit build, then Caladbolg is only slightly ahead.

You're saying that your doing 80 to 90k origin at under 2k tp? Lies

I can do that much on WAR with Fimb. What is this fixation with 99K? Like the important value is total damage over time. These WS's are incredibly linear, which normally means you TP whenever for the same damage over time effects. Buffed situations will make the 2s penalty more important so we want to go at a higher TP value to offset it. Basically you want to WS every 5~6s (including the 2s WStime).

I don't think anyone is fixated about 99k WSs.

99k damage was just referenced as limiting factor for some WSs and scenarios where WS frequency is more important, because theoretically stronger WS will still do the same damage as weaker WS, because of that damage cap.

Not sure why you think I lie.

I dont have Stage 5 (or even 4) to show this in game to you, but WS damage is straight math really.

Code
DEX	STR	INT									
251	552	379									
DEX WSC	STR WSC	INT WSC	Base	fSTR	fTP	Scarlet	PDL	WSD	pdif	Damage	/DRG
  25	  331	  227   400	     52	    5.5	  10%   78% 86%	8.01	93291	102620


Obviously capping 8.01 pdif for 3000DEF target realistically requires GEO, Dia II, Light shot and BoxStep1 (from cor/dnc for example). With that setup it's actually easy, because DRK has way over 9999 attack with SV Honor,Minuet4/5,LR,BolsterFury. I also doubt Sortie bosses really have 3000DEF, but I assumed the worst.

Code
DEF   Frailty   DiaII+Light   BoxStep1   FinalDef   cRatio
3000  41.80%	17.96%	      5%         1057	    9.46



If you manage better Scarlet than just 10% it's ofc even easier.

EDIT: This is also with Regal Ring and +1 earring and I took my ingame stats, which are for ML41, so there is some room for improvement there still. It's also without +0~5% randomizer at the end and without possible DA/TA proc adding 9-18k damage.

Was there a new title added for the new master trial?

Didn't see anything added to the titles resource file yet

For title collectors out there to add to their checklist :)

I just did 1036+250 TP Fimb on a lvl 1 Rabbit and got 31753. No where close to 99k and Fimb/Origin are similar.

No Scarlet. My STR/VIT numbers are incredibly less than your STR/INT numbers. (so must be factoring Absorbs?)

70420 at 2042+250

98994 at 3000 (Heathens+1 3wdmg for moonshade)

1 sample each.

I was talking about being fully buffed, so it includes Absorb STR and int (+96 str and +41int), SV Aria, 10% Scarlet. Also assuming stage 5 weapon. I forgot to add boost-str though. Ftp was for Origin at around 1770 effective TP, so around 1520 with moonshade. Slightly different set too. Ephramad ring, but Nyame head and +1 earring with 3wsd. Nyame r30, but I guess R25 with boost STR I forgot would be a similar damage.
