I found a kewl video of the newest ones:

YouTube - FFXI New Mythic Weapon Skills

FFXI has really amazing weaponskills!!!! and there's so many!

ATONEMENT ATONEMENT ATONEMENT.

Good vs ANYTHING. Makes Light. Kills avatars. It's grrrrrrrreat!

Of the Weaponskills I have now, I have to say that I rather like Red Lotus Blade.

As for the Mythic Weaponskills, loosely speaking, any job that isn't . . . MNK, BLM, THF, SMN, or SCH would probably say their own is their favorite, and more than half of those wouldn't normally care about Weaponskills in the first place. Thus, as a RDM I have to say that Death Blossom looks pretty . . . Yellow Mage resists the rhyme.

Among the non-Mythic skills, Vorpal Blade and Evisceration are pretty neat, but kind of predictable choices.

As for other jobs' Weaponskills I like, I <3 {Long time} any Ninja that uses Blade: Retsu at my levels. And Shield Break is really a no-brainer.

It will always be Penta Thrust.

Mhurron · 03-07-2009, 12:18 PM

Always liked the look of Savage Blade.

Feba · 03-07-2009, 12:49 PM

Gotta be Asuran Flips.

Mog · 03-07-2009, 01:41 PM

Coolest looking I'd go with Tachi: rana.

Most damage...sidewinder always.

Feenicks · 03-07-2009, 05:02 PM

Blade: Ten looks pretty awesome if you're a taru, and I really like Garland of Bliss. But nothing can surpass Asuran Fists, just for the satisfaction of hearing eight hits land really hard and fast.

Tokitung · 03-10-2009, 03:17 PM

I remember my first job, Rng, so long ago . . .

No WS I've ever gotten has quite made me giggle like a little school girl like when I first ripped of Sidewinder on a Bat in KRT for 1k+ damage.

Hexa Strike with a wand. Nothing is more satisfying than killing something with an enchanted twig.

KingOfZeal · 03-11-2009, 07:06 PM

Between Evisceration (which I have) and the Taru's Asuran Fists. Makes me want to level monk just so I can get that.

I prefer it with the Martial wand. It looks like you're hitting things with a chunk of iron fence that someone sawed off.

Ameroth · 03-11-2009, 09:46 PM

Because I just recently got it: Guillotine. Been leveling that DRK some more and after recently seeing scythe skill ding 200, my damage output has changed enough for me to be like "Herrz Yeh!"

Elwynn · 03-12-2009, 10:10 AM

Blade: Retsu may not be flashy, but it just made me very happy:

Finally I start to get even for all the times that Paralyze effects screwed me up.

Ziero · 03-12-2009, 11:56 AM

Of stuff I have I'm going with Sharkbite, easily the best looking WS a thf has.

Would've said Steel Cyclone, but more often then not, the actual swing animation never shows and the mob doesn't recoil from the damage, all I see is the explosion. Half the time I don't even know if it hits or not.
