How often does Double Attack Work?

[Lone Dragon]

I doubt its all the time, every time.

50%? 40,30,20?

[Nerv]

I'd say maybe 30-40%

With war/ninja sometimes even 4x hit

[Somajan]

Pretty high. For me it's been pretty consistent at about 70%. A lot of times I'm getting quadruple hits as well.

[Trapezius]

uh huh...right...and i get septillian hits in a row just messing

impossible to get 4 hits in a row no matter what in one attack

if you mean double attack twice in a row then ok, I've gotten seven doubles in a row before. your chances at double attacking go up with level i think...not sure, but I get around 80% with two one handers, but 60% with my two hander. It depends on the ranking for the weapon or the skill I think...

I'm thinking a lot lol:sweat:

well, let that sink in and then figure it out

[Somajan]

Yeah I was referring to two double hits in a row, unless I'm a thief with triple hit and counter.

[Izual]

Actually you can get 4 hits in a row with one attack, but only if you're using a h2h weapon. Of course, you have to consider the normal 2 hits of a h2h attack as only one attack, so it's just a technicality anyway

[Trapezius]

As I said before, Grapple (h2h to you) will only add one more hit, so the max is three. you can only get 4 if your a thief because of triple attack and counter, that's the ONLY way.

[Izual]

You're right, my mistake. I thought I had seen someone do 4 attacks in a row with a graple weapon, but it was actually double attack and counter together

[Lone Dragon]

Simple. War/Nin, Nin/War, and Thief/Nin should be able to and can (from what I've heard) get extra attacks per weapon from their respective attack skills.

So it is possible for a Thief/Nin with the Triple Attack and Dual Wield abilities to hit 3 times for each weapon for a total of 6 hits in a single 'turn'.

Grapple is a SINGLE WEAPON, which is why you will only get one extra attack from DA (or two in the case of a Thief with TA.)

4x hit

I saw a warrior in AF, with nin sub dual axes, attack 4 times in a row, dual wield two hits, double attack will make both axes attack twice. 4 in a row :D

[Nameless]

WTF

You just revived a year old topic.

...Why?

[ddg]

To clear things up:

When a warrior/ninja is dual wielding axes or swords, each has a chance to double strike. This can lead up to four consecutive hits as I've had several times, and witnessed several more.

Double strike seems to kick in more for single handed weapons then for two-handed. That may just be the delay making it seem less.

[Frozen Flame]

Also if you dual wield A Joyeous and a Ridll, they occasionally attack twice without double attack and dual wield, combine them with war double attack, dual wield, and the dual wield enhance earring and belt, and with haste. @_@ I think it would be able to do up to 6

According to testing from a JP site dedicated to this kind of stuff (http://pamama.hp.infoseek.co.jp/FF11...ensyou7-7.html), apparently the DA% is between 10.49% and 12.16%. (Thanks to Apple Pie for the link)

This seems about right to me. 70% DA is ridiculous. Joyeuse itself has a DA proc of 50%, so with Joy + /war that would be over 100% (which is obviously not the case).

[Mookie]

apparently the DA% is between 10.49% and 12.16%.

That sounds more like Double Attack % when weilding a 2 handed weapon.
When I go out as WAR/NIN duel weilding Axes my Double Attack fires atleast 25% of the time, and I dont even have the AF boots yet.

And yes a WAR can hit 4 times when duel weilding. I call it a Double-Double Attack

so with Joy + /war that would be over 100% (which is obviously not the case)

/WAR definatly do not Double Attack as often as a WAR main. I have seen other jobs going /WAR Double Attacking and it might fire once or twice a fight, where I get one almost every other volley of attacks.
