Talk:Herculean Slash

From FFXI Wiki

As far as the base stats go, herculean slash seems to be only "modified" by VIT. I'm having trouble determining the WSC alpha value and the fTP value, as well as the formula for calculating elemental WS damage (not even sure if the OtherWiki is correct). I'm not a "math-y" person by any means, so here's the data that I got from testing the WS. Damage does not change with TP (as suggested by the WS description), giving a static fTP at all TP levels. Test on monsters outside of Windurst to reduce chance of resists.

Data:

Total VIT 80, Damage = 444. Total VIT 82, Damage = 448. Total VIT 84, Damage = 451. Total VIT 85, Damage = 455. Total VIT 87, Damage = 458. Total VIT 89, Damage = 462. Total VIT 105, Damage = 490. Total VIT 116, Damage = 507. Total VIT 125, Damage = 525. Total VIT 135, Damage = 542.

Just leaving this data here for anyone that is interested.

The links above state a VIT modifier of 60%, and an fTP of 3.375 (post-update). However, the numbers do not match up when I attempt to calculate damage (using a WSC alpha value of 0.85 at level 85).
