Eh, heard a wierd rumor floating around the channels today about the update to the Swash Wisdom Line
I heard that they were going to replace the DA% of the WIS line with Flurry instead but keep the 1 Weapon restriction with upping the chance from the 51.5% to 75%. So with current gear and buffs we could have 100% DA with and 75% Flurry chance however only equipping 1 weapon.
If this is true, would it help the rouge or just give us the same useless WIS line we already have. I am not 100% on how flurry works but a little guess work.
Flurry is a chance to hit the mob Multiple Times with your primary weapon on a succesful attack.
Question 1 : Can you Flurry on a double attack? If you can does both hits flurry or just the initial one.
Question 2 : Exactly how many succesive hits do you get on a flurry " 2 - 3 - 4 ect... " or is it just an increased hit.
So after putting together some numbers here is what I came up with.. Giving Question # 2 the answer of 4 hits.
Weapons : Both are represented at each doing 500 Damage
- Single Wield with Flurry on initial hit only.
- 100 Hits at 75% Flurry and 100% DA, Single Wield
- 75% out of 100 would be 75 times. So out of 100 you would hit for 2500, 75 times, and 1000, 25 times.
- 187500 + 25000 = 212500 Total Damage
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Single Wield with Flurry on both hits.
- 100 Hits at 75% Flurry and 100% DA, Single Wield
- 75% out of 100 would be 75 times. So out of 100 you would hit for 4000, 75 times, and 1000, 25 times.
- 300000 + 25000 = 325000 Total Damage
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Dual Wield with No Flurry
- 100 Hits at 0% Flurry and 100% DA Duel Wield
- 100% out of 100 would be 100 times. So out of 100 you would hit for 2000 100 times.
- 200000 Total Damage
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Duel Wield with Flury on initial hit only.
- 100 Hits at 5% Flurry and 100% DA Dual Wield
- 5% out of 100 would be 5 times. So out of 100 you would hit for 3500 5 times, and 2000 95 times.
- 17500 + 190000 = 207500 Total Damage
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Dual Wield with Flury on both hits.
- 100 Hits at 5% Flurry and 100% DA Dual Wield
- 5% out of 100 would be 5 times. So out of 100 you would hit for 5000 5 times, and 2000 95 times.
- 25000 + 190000 = 215000 Total Damage
Now with using just base Numbers, you can see that with using 1 Weapon equiped you would get a slight increase of damage, secondaly there is not weapon out there that hits as hard as our Mythical. However you would loose the stats and bonuses of that offhand weapon by using the Wis Line if indeed it does get changed to this. Either way on how Flurry Works with double attack, it would still be better to have 1 Weapon with 75% Flurry 100% DA then having two weapons with 5% Flurry and 100% DA.
I would even wager that with difference in damage from our Myth to other offhands in game, if they left the % of increase at 51.5% we would still do more Damage with 100% DA and 51.5% Flurry " Along with Lunge Reversal " then we would Dual Wielding with 5% Flurry and 100% DA..
Opinions please.
I do not think this would be overpowering due to the fact that we would be giving up the stats from offhand weapons to obtain this increase. It would be a risk vs reward situation pertaining to bonuses offhands would provide in game. If this rumor is not true, how about some opinions on if you would like to see this implemented.
Changes to Wisdom Line. " Rumor "
