Onion Sword III Worth It?

Yeah I know him. Best part is he is using R25 Nyame Head, when he has +3 empy head :)

Keep in mind it's fencer on WAR, so with moonshade earring he is above 2000 effective TP anyway. That being said, he is losing all the offhand hits. Dual wield with Ikenga's axe R30 would have much higher WS numbers.

This guy is not a parse hungry douchebag like myself. His showcase of onion sword doesn't matter...

My FBII deal less damage after watching that video.

On what job and with what gear? trust buffs or super buff situation?

Did you build a proper set for fast blade II?

Lies! I cought him fast blade IIing a mob with 5%ish HP left.

He had proper group buffs; But as Kwech is a full time Horizon player just returning to try this on, His gear stopped progressing with empy +3 / V20, he did not have all his gearswap and macros setup, and it had been his first segs in like 2+ years. So take that as you want

The only conclusion I have from this is that he was a really bad player two years ago.

Checks out

Yeah I didn't take the time to perfect the set. Just tossed 5/5 nyame and my other ws accessories until I had another chance to figure it out.

For you guys? This vod probably doesn't offer much but raging at minor inefficiencies and putting little smiley faces next to them.

For me personally? I had two take-aways:

1)If I weren't so rusty on mob weapon resistances and had used Chocobo Jig II at 2-3 key moments, I think we would have had a full clear since only two packs remained.

2)There's some non-zero amount of efficiency gained by having your main weaponskill be fusion in a sea of Savage Blades.

This sword stinks.

I actually would have been better off if I just dropped the Kupon.

You sure you didn't just have chicken today?


Regarding the videos, I appreciate anything that adds info about bonanza weapons.

You can't feel bad about the choice if you never choose.

The true power play. Not only are these weapons not ultimate, they're beneath me. /toss kupon

Which one did you pick and primarily for what job?

I picked the sword for all the jobs. Obviously not turning everything I play into a DD, but the alternatives I was considering were the dagger and the katana.

And I decided not to log in just to get the kupon.

When I get back, probably I will simply restart my new chars over, probably to record the playthrough

What is the meaning of 'playthrough' in a game where people who have thousands of hours of /playtime still aren't close to being finished?

Finish the first bone, then I will give you another.

Wtf is a vod? Is this a content creator language?

A vod is just the raw, unedited footage. The video watches like "This is what I did today in FFXI" and not so much like "This is how DNC performs under optimal conditions in a seg run".

That or maybe he's transmitting sensitive information about retail to the PS overlords. /shrug

Code for "I haxored too hard and my old chars got 100% the boot while I was away but once I return I'll haxor so hard that I won't even need party wide shadows"?

I just posted some valuable infos about Fast Blade II for WHM SCH GEO and RDM in the "Onion Sword III for dd WHM" post, also tbh MNK could also be an amazing fast blade ii user apart from DNC.

Throughout this week i'll record footage of in game proper shenanigans with this weapon and then i'll publish the showcases with also the pics n description of the simulations, the builds, the various tiers of buffs you can do depending on the job and how much atk/accuracy you need to reach (mostly to figure out if one can squeeze in etudes + geo DEX etc)

In general Fast Blade II can be terrible if used poorly single wielding with bad gearsets for it, or insanely good if used properly dual wielding with tons of MA to get those juicy TA/QA procs for 99k bursts on virtually any job.
