Mandau & Offhand Dagger
Mandau & Offhand Dagger
Someone else just confirmed it on BG... So either its a bug or Fk yeah
Still, final stats on Mandau are rather underwhelming. The whole SE statement of "Don't worry, we'll make sure relics stay proportional to the effort required to make them" apparently meant "sure, we'll make it on par with one of the the weakest emp weapons that takes a couple days to get."
Well, It looks like the Aftermath Effect on Relics are becoming AoE on the 99's...
Critical hit Rate +5% for your party seems great, especially with Voidwatch and Dusty wings, being able to keep up ~300% Aftermath (duration) so often...
I'd still say Mandau will be the better bet in the end, But both are magnificent weapons

Could you test the additional effect and the triple dmg proc on offhand please? Much thanks.
Was playing around with friends THF and this is their Mercy Stroke set un-stacked w/ Sneak Attack. Any advice?
Mandau = Main-Hand
Kila +3 = STR Path
Mandau = Main-Hand
Kila +3 = STR Path
Thought they increased the after effect to 12-13% on Mandau?
Just the triple damage effect.

Theres a chance by 99 The effects will be buffed.
Though, 300% TP Dusty wings, Keep up the 9mp(8mp?)/tic Refresh Aura for everyone in range. CLAUSTRUMS FOR ALL.
Or Bravura's aftermath...
AoE Aftermaths (If these were translated right, it read "Aftercircle" i think) have some potential.

After fighting 10 DC mobs in succession I can unfortunately say that only the +att/acc of the weapon works in offhand. No Additional poison effect nor OTD hidden effects proc'd in offhand use. So it is a step in the right direction, but only a step.
Edit: And OTD still can't proc on 2nd/3rd hits when in main hand. I was hoping they would allow that since ODD aftermath can =/

wow Ihina u've been busy :o
Yeah I have, but not that you can tell from looking at my THF. BRD mule needs a g-horn and I'm rebuilding my other mule from scratch. Already done with most missions and abyssea stuff, just some magian staves, sky access and some sea capes to go.
so if main handing the Mandau, would a twash be better to offhand or a STR Kila+4 (looking like the stats are gonna be DMG: 43-45 STR+12 ATK+22? Im thinking of a 85/90 Twash not a 95 version
Just confirmed on my Thf, looks like the Offhand change wasn't a fluke. Live on all servers after update Mandau +att is working in offhand.
Do you get access to the weapon skill with it offhand and the 10% triple damage procs ;o?
No WS, and very much doubt the triple proc

The STR kila would enhance Mercy Stroke, but it all depends on what WS you're going to be using obviously.
If it is identical to the Test server, the only thing that works in offhand is +att. Trying to do the LB fight atm so I can't really test anything.

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, but looks like this may be a part of a bug that they are going to fix -.- which makes no sense at all.

With STR kila ending up with DMG 47, STR 11 and ATK +22, how does it stack up against Twashtar 90 offhand? Twashtar DPS = 16.36 @90 and Thokcha has 14.84. What are the situations where you would main Mandau/Twashtar over the other? Trying to decide if completing a Mandau is worth it if I already have a Twashtar.

Mandau is worlds better than Twashtar.
Well, one thing i can add is that capping dex crit rate is easier with Twash, especially if you have str merits. And Twash is certainly easier to come by than Coruscanti lol.

Not if you have my dumb VW luck.

Is Twashtar the better offhand? Or is the STR Thokcha better to beef up Mercy Stroke?
On a side note, do we know a % for aftermath or if it increases with trials?
EDIT: nvm I saw the comment on the Mandau 95 page, still 5% :(
TH dagger or ---->

Only thing THF is good for.

Main hand TH dagger, wearing TH+2 hands, and TH feet... Stand at max range then /ra >>> /jobchange
See, i know you're trolling cause you own both mandau and Thwastar.
Still makes me sad.
