He tested the damage and reported a 30% attack reduction on the WS.

MMkay, I figured it was something like that. Not sure if that invalidates what I had said previously (that it should be used on low def. mobs while torc is used on higher def. mobs) or not. Too late for me so im not going to bother with any numbers, just purely speculation I feel that both drk and war could take that hit to attack and still use this ws effectively (to be clear I mean that it will still be quite strong) in the right situations.

You would probably be wrong. He wasn't even capping pDIF on the Colibris he was testing on with over 1000 attack.

The Attack penalty ensures that Torcleaver will remain DRK's best WS.

Ye olde Merit Colibris? 327 defense, 720 to cap Ratio, but I can't figure the attack penalty would be notable if it was only 30%...

Link please?

See guys? This is what you should be angry about!

He did it on Greater Colibri. The first sample was at exactly capped cRatio and he kept pushing it up. It's not a perfect test, but it gives a general idea of how severe the attack penalty is (pretty freaking severe).

1.5/2.2 is 68%, so 30% sounds about right and is decidedly realistic. I hate when people bring unnecessary rigor into this though. Clearly there is an attack penalty, and clearly it is some number around 30%, so who cares about 'small sample size'.

So have they found "hinderances" to the other weaponskills yet or they just picked GS to pre-nerf lol.

GS, Scythe, Sword, Katana, and Polearm all have some kind of hindrance.

The other ones either don't have them or they aren't apparent yet.

Somehow this is less likely than "SE is a bunch of morons who think 'Avoiding Power Creep' means you can never give anyone any real upgrade."

• Scythe Weapon Skill “Entropy”
We will be making adjustments so that the amount of MP recovered will be within a range.
There will be cases where the MP recovered will be higher or possibly lower than now, but we are planning to adjust this so that the average will not change by much.
