Actually, Bloodweapon doesn't do additional damage with the drains. It basically heals you for the amount you hit the mob.

100% true. I laugh at those who think Bloodweapon does damage.



Oh and Makelith, get a brain please. Souleater ignores defense.

yeah, you're gonna get badly out-DDed. If you're subbing WAR or NIN though, seriously, the WAR shouldn't be getting remotely close to same damage as you in a 2h-ing contest unless you're badly halfassing your gear or using some sortof unbalanced comparison (i.e. WAR/NIN vs scythe DRK or some crap)

What you say here is absolutely, 100% true. However, what I have found using BW is that it really does come with a hidden -ACC effect. I go all out on my gear to the point where few can call me gimp. I'll be in a long time party and easily parse between 90-95% ACC. I'll then pop SE+BW, either just for fun or occasionally for a REAL purpose, and I'll something like the following:

Alanon misses the XXXX
Alanon misses the XXXX
Alanon hits the XXXX for an obscene amount
Alanon misses the XXXX
Alanon's BW effect wears off...


So you are right, Drk's SHOULD outdamage Wars on the 2hr, but with the misses and highdelay..... I think Im gonna work on my dagger skill, just so I can equip a low delay dagger for 2hr use...

Thanks to all replies... and I wish I had an SS... cause it took my MP and my Timer... but he never used it.. he was meleeing at the time..

On the whole "don't move during BP" thing I am curious.
Before Carby Mitts.. Titan absolutely dominates worms (Rock Throw = ranged = owwie) and I'd be just out of their range (so they would start casting but it would end... btw they have INSANE casting range.. not only "Out of range" but "Too far away" @.@) I would run in, BP, and run back out of range instantly and never once had him fail.. Carby has been my only Astral Flow failure thus far.. Ifrit and Garuda (only others I have used) never mess up.. but I can't always have them out

I think then it was just a glitch then. I used to have that with Garuda's Aerial Wings sometimes..or her healing one..it just failed, nothing happened. Though I never had an astral flow bp fail on me cause of a glitch

Was basically what i should have said in the first place, the reason i said alot of what i said, and yes i was talking about with /nin only since i have yet gotten a chance to go drk/war in a merit party.

I never said anything about it taking in to defense. I know how souleater works.

Use a dagger, sword, or axe for SE/BW. The damage bonus from SE is fixed regardless what you're hitting with. A faster weapon will do more damage than a slower one almost guaranteed.

Nevermind....
