Hey I just bought a new fire sword for my level 18 WAR and decided that it would be fun to go test out the ‘Additional Damage” animation. I think it looks absolutely stunning. After a while, however, the sword stopped doing the animation. I though that a rather weird quirk but thought nothing more of it. However, while running though the battle spam (I have way to much free time), I realized that not only had it not shown the animation…. The additional damage wasn’t there either. Has this happened to anyone else?

additional dmg is more like a proc, happens pretty rarely.
I've found its dependant on the mob at times. Used it on my PLD on ITs for levelling, worked maybe once. Used it on my 30 WAR while in a too weak area, works maybe 1/10 hits.
These added enhancements rarely work. They are supposed to be an occasional added bonus rather than a per-swing bonus. I usually buy these swords for their good dmg/delay ratios rather than their en-spell effects (which I overwrite most of the time anyway).
There is a rumor that you need higher weapon skill to get them to "go off" more often. If this is the case, then it is a waste: by the time you get to where it would go off consistantly, you could buy a much more powerful sword.
Buy them for their stats, not the bonus damage.
