Notes

• Goes through shadows.
• Stun rate is near 100%, and lasts quite a long time.
• Being an instant ability, Weapon Bash is very effective at stunning mob TP moves.
• At level 75, unenhanced Weapon Bash deals 21 blunt type damage.
• Weapon Bash Damage = FLOOR(((LV+11)/4) + Equipment Bonus)
  • Level corresponds to Dark Knight level. Thus, if DRK is subbed, damage will depend on the level of your sub.
• Equipping the Ignominy Gauntlets +2/3 gives it skillchain properties, allowing it to open a self-skillchain.
  • For Drain purposes the only real options using weapon bash are:
  • Weapon Bash > Nightmare Scythe = Compression
  • Weapon Bash > Insurgency = Compression
  • Weapon Bash > Infernal Scythe = Compression
  • Weapon Bash > Upheaval = Compression
  • Weapon Bash > Keen Edge = Compression
