Um...I don't mean to be an ass but you're not going to get results with just 3 WS. Your chances of landing all hits is 70%. And it's a crit WS to boot (for which we don't know the +crit mods.)

You're going to have to do a lot more Hexa Strikes per setup. Actually, it'd be a lot more useful to dedicate that testing time to finding out the crit mods on Hexa Strike.

Have you tried for a Sea Robber Cudgel yet?

I have yet to get one ~_~ they never pop when I go hunting for them. Never. Never. Ever. Never.

I figured as much, but time was against me for the time being, hopefully later today or tomorrow, I'mma gonna count 15 more results for each setup. Though I will have to redo the inital three since I've gotten Raja's Ring yesterday :D

From what I gathered on ffxiwiki, it appears the crit rate is TP based seeing how there is no damage modifier for TP as compared to most multi hitters.

Re: Working on best club combo for Hexa Strike o_O

It's clear that it's TP based, but we don't know what it is. For instance, Vorpal Blade is +20% crit rate at 100 TP. Perhaps Hexa Strike is the same? Perhaps it's +0% at 100 TP and only adds additional crit rate if you go over 100? Perhaps the jump from 100 TP to 200 TP is only +5%?

Like I said, rather than doing 45 more WS, 15 with each setup, you might as well test the +crit rate on Hexa Strike (at 100 TP with a normal club, and @200 by using Martial Wand.) You'll be able to figure out Martial Wand's worth if you know that, and you also do everyone else a big favor by providing important info about Hexa Strike itself.

Unrelated to the previous point but still worth mentioning, testing on mobs that weak won't reflect the advantage clubs with +Acc have and stuff that's actually at least mildly hard to kill. The same thing happens to +Attack though to a lesser extenct.

Re: Working on best club combo for Hexa Strike o_O

Hmm, didn't think of that part. Would save me some time just by going in a two stager.
Now to find some people to be meat shields, errr i mean gather data ;x
I assume something to the extent of Sea Puks or Greater Colibri would be sufficent?

[Armando]

Re: Working on best club combo for Hexa Strike o_O

Sounds about right. I mean, what could be higher than VT that you'd want to melee against?

For crit rate testing (if you're going to do it) you'd have to OHKO Lv.1 mobs and record the numbers.

What about Perdu Wand?

Re: Working on best club combo for Hexa Strike o_O

It's true that the amount of Crit% you get with TP varies from WS to WS (of those Crit ones, anyway). But I'll note that in the instance of the WSs I play with that function like that (namely, Rampage and Raging Rush), even 300% isn't a sizeable boost over 100%. It's not going to be like Tachi: Kasha where you can clearly see the difference between a 100% and a 200% (A 'damage varies with tp' move).

I don't have it nor able to work on getting one yet.

Re: Working on best club combo for Hexa Strike o_O

Perdu Wand pretty much blows every other club the fuck away assuming we're not talking about Mjollnir.

Holy, it does o_O;.... damn it I'm 5 assault ranks and 39k IS short of it @_@;
With my habbits, I'm more likely able to get the relic upgrade than that though ;x
only 33/500 ordelle bronzepieces for stage 2's completion :D v.v;

Re: Working on best club combo for Hexa Strike o_O

ugh. Don't fucking talk about Mjolnir. Every time I hear about it I want to talk about a friend that had one, and that just takes a bunch of time for a story everyone already knows.
