Blanket statements upon blanket statements about something none of you know about. How inspiring. Fact: Victory Smite is slightly better than Stringing Pummel. Fact: Kenkonken Lv90 gives +15% Damage to Stringing Pummel. Do the math you promised.

I promise nothing. I'm merely pointing out the fallacy of assuming a conclusion based on a severely tilted premise.

You dramatically overestimate the player:automaton output ratio, while simultaneously understating the effect of automaton upkeep, be it through maneuvers, curative actions, or what have you.
Like I said, when any of you have any reasonably accurate information regarding the weapon, I'd be willing to take a closer look. Until then, you're arguing about nothing. Spamming maneuvers will favor KKK even more, less chance at overload, and while you're using a JA, your pet is still attacking. And ODD from Vere doesn't affect the pet.

He's technically right, all you're saying is a hypothesis; while that hypothesis is very likely correct, 3 minutes of OA3 + a much lower delay between attack rounds + Stringing Pummel, on top of the somewhat minimal impact of the increase to Automaton damage being greater than 45% (?) ODD + Victory Smite, it's not "provable".

Oh gods...SP is not that far behind VS. With KKK you even got a boost on it. PLUS, KKK aftermath is better because it doesn't only apply to master(like Vere's), but puppet also. PLUS, KKK gives Martial arts. What exactly about this is mysterious to you?

Only thing in favor of Vere that I can see is easier upkeep of aftermath.

anything to get VE to use string shredder any more often is already a vast improvement considering how strong the ws is.

I appreciate the support, but its unnecessary. I won't sit here and attempt a rational debate with people resorting to entirely off-base ad hominem for lack of any real knowledge of the subject matter.

Capped DT while keeping a 6 hit and capped haste iirc. Maybe 7 hit. I'd have to check.
Pretty damn awesome right now actually.

bare bones enough for you?

OA2-3 does less for hth weapons than you think.
Not saying Vereth is better than KKK, it isn't even close imo because of how much KKK does for pup vs Vereth just doing damage.

ODD only works on one hand as well for H2H.

the attack and lolacc is different story though.

Did I say otherwise? All those effects on mythic/relic/emp only apply to the offhand (mainhand) hits, which you only get 1 of per attack round.
OA2-3 still applies to ws on mythic, which is pretty damn nice.

No it doesn't. Kirschy proved that incorrect with Liberator at the beginning of 95 cap.

I didn't know you could test hth properties with a scythe.

Semantics. Again, while very likely, it's still a hypothesis that remains to be tested. You can say it's better, and it more than likely is, but there is no hard evidence to suggest it. I may be misinterpreting kap's argument, but that's pretty much all I saw him say.
You can say with some mathematical certainty and through common sense that KKK > Vere, but you cannot say with 100% foolsproof, insurmountable certainty that it's the case.

If you squint really hard, they look alike.
Not really.
But if OaT2-3 on one Mythic doesn't apply to WS, it's a safe assumption that follows to other Mythics. Testing on a second would be a good follow-up, but that's most likely happened.

Why would that matter, a mythic is a mythic. Plus, it's better to assume it doesn't work on H2H then base your calculations on the fact that it does (when it hasn't been proven to do so). Like Dodu's been saying, lax information.

I'm assuming Kap is talking about the OA3 on weaponskills while Serj is talking about OA3 on main/offhands which is silly since it would be rather difficult to test an offhand with a Scythe, thus one should be able to make the assumption that the piece of data in question can be absconded.

I already know there is a thread about this, but I wanted to see what people think the best weapons in the game are listed in a 1-5 order (1 being the best). Assume the weapons are the 95 version.
I'll start =)
1. Ryunohige
2. Apocalypse
3. Ragnarok
4. Ukonsavora
5. Amanomurakamo
