Multi Hit Polearm?

[Skoal]

I was just looking through weapons today on somepage.com. I noticed a lot of multi hit weapons: joytoy, ridill, kraken, mercurial kris, mercurial sword, bahamut zaghnal, soboro, amoods, and I think thats it. I was wondering would drg benefit from a low dmg multi hit weapon? Do wars use amood or dark amood? I understand that sometimes multi hit one handed weapons are used for quick tp gain. Since our ws are sub par, would we even have a use for a multi hit polearm?

I am aware of Love Halbred and how it works. I was thinking along the lines of an easier obtainable polearm. Some of the weapons above are hard to get some are not. Thanks for the info.

most of the low damage weapons you use to sc because your ws really do lack from them.

as for joytoy, ridill they are not really low damage for swords and work great for tp. The kraken club is one of the best off hand weapons for a dual weilder (mob your fighting and tp moves depend if it is really worth the tp)

Merc Swrd i have one and i use it for skill up only.

Multi hit weapons drg can use: Joytoy, Kraken, Merc Pole.

Would Multi-Hit stuff work for Penta-Thrust? (such as double attack) like for each individual hit, not the whole entire thing

There is a thread on allah in the mnk section about this. I think what has been determined is that 8 hits is the max on weapon skills.

Re: Multi Hit Polearm?

so double hit could proc 3 times on penta thrust assuming all of them hit to end up having an 8 hit penta thrust? (just trying to make sense of it XD)

Re: Multi Hit Polearm?

most hits per round is 8 basically even if on each penta double attack went off you would still only hit (do damage) on 8 hits not 10

Yup, I once had double attack fire off on penta thrust and I got back 20 tp (13 tp first hit, then 1 tp per hit after that so that was a 8 hit penta)

Re: Multi Hit Polearm?

multi-hit effects on weapons DO NOT activate on Weapon Skill. At least, this is how all old-school multi-hitters work. Basically, anything that hits multiple times w/out having to meet a condition (latent effect: shitty moon phase[amood] or "when virtue stones are equipped") won't stack with multi-hit traits and won't activate on WS.

Since the conditional multi-attacks are confirmed to stack with the traits (Fortitude Axe 2A can proc a War's 2A), I wouldn't doubt that they also activate on WS. But I really wouldn't know. If so, then Love Halberd ftw.

Mercurial Pole, capped staff, mage sub, Relic helm, Spirit Taker.

Re: Multi Hit Polearm?

Personally, the only real usefulness in multi-hit weapons I've seen is in two ways:
1. For RDM/sub or main/RDM with en-spell damage.
2. For off-hand useage for TP gain / main hand for RNG's ranged weapons.

I don't see DRG benefitting all that much from an "Average" Multi-hit weapon (I think Love Halberd can be classed as an "Excellent" Multi-hit).

Can I have this in my sig? XD (Credit to you, ofcourse)

I've seen Soboro Sukehiro in action--the damage output is quite nice from it alone. Supposedly it's an even better deal with used as SAM/RNG for spamming Sidewinder.
