Mandau Vs. Twashtar.
dridian said: » and they striped all these stats from the relic when we off hand it lol. "Biggest Nerf Ever" i think. If they are truly the top weapon why wouldn't you put it in your main hand? The fact they aren't useful in your off hand SHOULD be irrelevant; the fact that there's a reason to offhand Mandau means that the Empyreans should be nerfed. And Mandau triple does stack with AF3, while Twashtar's double does not. Quote: i'm begining to speculate if the relic WS's were high dmg at one point to. Mercy Stroke has always been one of the better WS, and it still is. Some relic WS have always lagged behind, which in effect made them very overpriced weapons because you would only be upgrading them for DMG/Delay/Triple. This is why Mandau, Yoichinoyumi, Annihilator, Amanomurakumo, and Apocalypse were the most upgraded weapons -- their WS were actually unique/useful. Why in the *** would you have a 75 mandau? You can easily finish all of your trials within a few days.
dridian said: » just as an example. but alot of people don`t have time to do things in a few days. So while they have it, might aswell get the best out of it. Normally I'd say if you had a Mandau, you should have the dedication to get it to 85 before you got your Twashtar to 85. But after that moron with a Twashtar that didn't know you had to be behind someone to use Trick Attack, I could honestly see this happening. For real? That person should be murdered.
Anyone ran tests lately to see how well 90 Twash is standing up to 95 Mandau? There was a thread here that went about 7 pages before the mods removed it. Telling stupid people they are stupid is unacceptable.
As far as Mandau vs. Twash, I don't have both to test, but analogizing from what Ninjas with both Kannagi and Kikoku have said, the triple damage proc is roughly equivalent to the ODD aftermath now. So the fact that Mandau's triple damage is not tied down to using a specific WS, combined with its own aftermath and 35 attack, should pull it slightly ahead despite Twashtar having the benefit of DEX for its WS. Seriously is this even a thread? Mandau is better, always has been, always will be. thread over
At 85, Twashtar was much better.
Mandau will never beat Twashtar.

I would hope that people would use the twashtar85 in the main hand while still benifiting from the relic effects. Like getting triple dmg (mandau and AF3) and then double dmg from time to time would be nice to see. Since triple dmg from the AF3 is rarly seen. Call me crazy if what I said is wrong. |
