Kraken Club fire sale!Follow

When I was on earlier 4 or 5 people were spamming lower jeuno trying to sell the Kraken Club.

Then I see this among the new items..



Square gave Rangers and Thieves an A or B rated multi-hit weapon, most of the jobs that drool the most over the K-Club just got somthing a lot better. Makes sense now ^^

The title confused me, heh heh, but anyway, thats kinda cool. I don't have anything over lv 37 and under lv 69 but i might get a pair just for fun 'cause never in my life will i be able to afford a pair of kraken clubs...

on a side note.. i find the new equipment a little overwhelming, i'd like to try em all but i never get to before theres another version update >_<

Not when you're E rated in club and A or B rated in dagger. Most hits with a Kraken Club are going to miss, and of those that do actually hit a lot will be for 0 because E rated means poor ACC *and* attack. It only works as an offhand weapon because it spams hits nonstop. Even if most of the hits miss it hits so much that you have a net TP gain anyway. Almost all hits with a mercurial kris are going to hit if you are a THF or RNG and because you're either A or B rated they will hit for more than 0.



Multi hit weapons are for offhand TP gain not for damage(at least not directly). A THF with a kraken club offhand can use a WS on every single Sneak Attack and Trick Attack. You can get over 100% TP in under 30 seconds. So you do the following:

TA/WS
(wait 30 seconds)
SA/WS
(wait 30 seconds)
TA/WS
(wait 30 seconds)
SA/WS

etc.

oooh, sweets... lvl 50 and bard can use it!

brd/nin, hornetneedle + mercurial kris = skillup heaven


>:)

Assume the first one skill chains with one of the other melees,the second one skill chains with another melee. Imagine if you have two theives with kraken clubs. Thats a skill chain plus magic burst EVERY 30 seconds. Whats not to like about that. With a sam,that means every 3 minutes,your insured a skill chain,plus when the sam gets tp normally,you have tp to skill chain,plus when your nin tank is ready for one,another skill chain. Imagine how much hate all those trick attacks put on the tank. It sounds to me like your party just sucked,except for your well equiped thf.

Well as they said, with 1 kraken => 15 sec for mob to do TP move. 2 THFs with kraken would probably mean 8 seconds for a mob to do TP move.

Now assume this is a goblin, he will have suicided within 30 seconds with all those bomb tosses.

by 55 the mobs your fighting aren't showing the kind of devistating TP moves yet.

Try Gobs in Bibiki.

MANY a one hit kill from gobs dropping bombs there, no matter who you are.

Only one correction tho :


hitting for 0 will still proc skillups. Many a time taking a ceremonial dagger out for dagger skillups is the best option. 0 dmg, low delay, you can skill up on the same mob forever.

Should you be worrying about Skillups in a party? No! Your here for XP, be the most effective you can be, not maxing our your skills. Thats what Skillup parties are for.

Not anymore, 0 dmg will no longer give skill ups. It was in the last update.
