Trick attack + Ws

Once in awhile Ive been asked to sub Thf and perform either TA or SATA from behind the tank. Of course when you end up in a party where the other guy with Provoke does not comply, you'll be forced to TA + WS behind the tank in the beginning to make the hate stick. I dont see a lot of damage from it though but does the hate really add up on the tank? The reason why is that I see the mob's attention going elsewhere sometimes.

Re: Trick attack + Ws

yeah, it does.

TA + any attack = added hate to whoever you're behind.

I believe.

Re: Trick attack + Ws

it does, unless you screw it up or miss. TA has a very small angle of where you can be unlike SA.

Re: Trick attack + Ws

Remember that TA simply transfers that hit's hate. If your WS does weak damage, you won't transfer much hate to the tank.

Re: Trick attack + Ws

i believe when using THF as support job TA will only transfer hate and won't do any additional DMG.
try TA+WS mid-fight or after the first provoke by 15 or more seconds and you'll notice a difference with hate (unless you have Enmity down equipment).

Re: Trick attack + Ws

LOL you used trick attack (Lv30 Ability) at lv38 Sam/thf and did 350-460..hax I tells ya. You must have sata'd (presuming your a thief who just cant read the topic title, then look at the forum its in and put 2 and 2 together.) cause I aint never seen/done a 350-460 TA on an IT exp mob and Ive ta'd alot, mithra too.

This is correct. There are no modifiers for Sneak Attack or Trick Attack when they are from your sub.

Sneak Attack
Trick Attack

Sneak Attack has a DEX modifier if you're main job is THF, and Trick Attack has an AGI modifier if you're main job is THF. If you sub THF, Sneak Attack gives you a critical hit, and Trick Attack only passes the hate from the next attack onto the person you're standing behind. If you are only doing a TA+WS you CAN miss.

What I would like to test, or see somebody test, would be Overwhelm + TA + WS damage. Would Overwhelm help make up for the lose of SA? Or would it just be better to sub WAR for Berserk and the lot.

Seriously, why make things worse by posting that when tbh already posted links to trick attack showing its lv30.

With your knowledge of the game and the quality of your equips I wouldnt be surprised if you buy gil and support the RMT. Either that or your entire account. Thanks for the insult.
