Serj said: Fenrir.Rinnsi said: Fenrir.Gradd said: The answer to this question is Raging Rush or Ukko's Fury. Warrior should NEVER be dual wielding period. i love how 1 update changes everyone opinion on something. That update was years ago.
That updated was also before war had access to another tier of DW.
Not saying that it changes the answer, but I would agree that at this point its a bit early to jump to conclusions that DW will NEVER be better.

Will be kind of hard for DW to beat a 5-hit Ukon. By kind of hard, I mean neigh-impossible.

If there was a higher dmg version of those for war now it could be competetive

Another Dual Wield trait is never going to compete with 10% haste from Hasso and MUCH harder hitting Weaponskills that Great Axe delivers.

Doubtful.
Unless the WAR sucked and had no clue wtf they were doing.
A good WAR full timing Hasso and Retaliation would outparse an Apoc DRK at 75, and just about every other job other than a polearm sam.

The only way DW outparsed GA at 75 was if you had Ridill and were /NIN, but nonetheless there were times when it was the way to go. If /SAM was an option then GA won, no contest.

The mathing out of it backed it up too. And yes that was assuming hasso and double march/haste spell and full haste gear. I'm sure tiger still probably has the links and such.
Now if you said axe/ridill yeah that only beat non hassoing gaxe wars

You do know Zoltar has BST right. Last time I checked BST's main weapon was axe.

Got BST though, and I'm jelly! Gotta get through *** Shoggoth before I can start up fistule items... Shoggoth is such a cockblock, can't solo it like you can Fly, Tam and Fistule.

I've been looking for Shoggoths, I'm hoping the MNK's and DRG's I encountered the last few days will be available. I've solo'd everything else (Including Fistule for a RNG friend) as Beastmaster with Dippy before, it's incredibly frustrating being blocked by this *** hecteyes. Easily the worst TII VNM.

Shoggoth isn't that bad unless you are like soloing/duoing. Decent tank with decent MDT set works wonders on it even at 75.

Thought you were saying Retaliation was new in general.
Carry on.

I guess that kinda means I've been playing too long. It seems like not that long ago they finally finished aht urghan mission line. And when I think of long time ago updates I think of say the rng gimp or the multi hit ws gimp lol. Or finishing CoP mission line

Ok, yes.
But he is asking in the WAR thread, so that gives everyone the assumption he enjoys playing with a gimp Weapon on his WAR.
He should have posted this in the BST thread if he was asking for BST.

Ive been playing since ps2 release, and 3 years is still a very long time especially considering its time youve devoted to a video game lol.
Idk yea theres been alot of updates but in my opinion Retaliation is still decently old <.<

He should have posted this in the BST thread if he was asking for BST. BST/WAR weapon, BST thread is fairly dead, thus it's a fair post in the WAR thread. Also non BSTs tend to ignore the BST thread D:
Edit: Also, he has WAR also.

Sorry all, Opera was giving me issues. I have BST and WAR @ 90, and I off-hand a Ridill, I'm not a GA warrior so take it somewhere else.

Suck Less. This is a question thread over Cloudsplitter V Rampage, not a OMG YOU'RE DUAL WIELDING thread. Althought it is providing us with a laugh.
Tl;dr less derail more splitter numbers.

Now Dragoon can eat there own wyvern for Unlimited powerz.
Seriously though, I don't understand the Cloudsplitter V. Rampage question? Rampage is better, especially in Abyssea. From Personal Experience though, Cloudsplitter performs pretty well on High-Level things, sort of the Magic-Equivalent to Gekko. This is a Warrior thread, so I can't really comment there, but for Beastmaster, I'm sure with Farsha's Aftermath, it's well worth the upgrade.
[+]
Anyone think it will be worth it to do a MND/STR build for Cloudsplitter? With Aftermath processing, which would be a better spam?
