Notes

  • Activating Saber Dance blocks Waltzes until it wears off or is cancelled.
  • Saber Dance grants 50% Double Attack that decays to 20% in the first 30 seconds (approximately 1%/second). It then remains at 20% for the rest of its duration.
  • Using Saber Dance automatically cancels Fan Dance, and vice versa.
  • Saber Dance stacks additively with Double Attack gear, but overwrites the Double Attack job trait.
    • DNC/WAR (10% Double Attack Job Trait) with Saber Dance up has a base Double Attack rate of 20%.
    • DNC/NIN with 10% Double Attack in gear and Saber Dance up has a base Double Attack rate of 30%.
  • Samba duration increase will still apply even if Saber Dance is removed after Samba activation.
