I agree with him though, if anything, DRG needs better WSes. Wheeling Thrust is good as it is, it might not do as much damage as Spinning Slash or Tachi: Gekko with their massive STR modifiers, but Wheeling Thrust has a DEF piercing trait. It still does respectable damage on mobs like Genbu or Aspid while other WSes are doing double digits. Impulse Drive could use a big boost though, and I think Wheeling Thrust could afford to have a touch more damage to it.

Skewer just ignore, it's a Lv200 WS. Most of those are worthless WSes anyways. ;p


Polearm WS             100%    200%    300%    #Hits   Secondary Attribute    TP Adjustment 
Double Thrust          1.00    1.50    2.00    2x      STR_30%                 
Leg Sweep              1.00                    1x      STR_30%                More stun 
Penta Thrust           0.75    1.00    2.25    5x      STR_20%, DEX_20%                
Vorpal Thrust          1.00                    1x      STR_20%, AGI_20%       Crit Rate 
Skewer                 1.00                    3x      STR_35%                Accuracy 
Wheeling Thrust        1.00                    1x      STR_50%                Ignore more DEF 
Impulse Drive          1.00    1.50    2.50    2x      STR_50%                 
  


Polearm WSs have plenty of STR modifiers. I think the real problem is the lack of WS multipliers on WSs with good modifiers. Pentathrust can hit 2.25 with 300% TP, but there's a low 20% STR/20% DEX secondary attribute. Skewer is 3 hits for 1.0 each regardless of TP, but there's only a 35% STR secondary attribute an Acc TP modifier. Impulse Drive, as mentioned, gets a nice 50% STR secondary attribute, but only exceeds 2.0 (at 2.5) at 300% TP.

Compare this to other weapon's big WSs that have secondaries like 75% STR AND TP modifiers like crit rate.

Let's not forget about all the times I actually did keel joo, Karani. But, Yeah..Gae Bolg is fun as hell in ballista because of that delay. MAKES IT CHALLANGING. WAHAHAHA.


Impulse Drive can actually shell out some good damage on those stats in Shrine, Sub THF with a martial lance. I've gotten a good 1.5k out of it opening the SC for Steel Cyclone.

Since I forgot what else I was gonna say, I'm stopping now. ._.

Someting told me not to level dragoon yet. I even got the relic pole and 2 Dragoon AF2's from dynanims, but still resisted leveling. I now know why.
Patience is a virtue :)

And now, my Dragoon will level past 15, and busta will be feared all over bismarck.

I think ya hear me knockin Altana, and I think I'm commin in... and I'm bringing penta thrust with me.
