Both Rudra's would be better than our best Rudra's with Striking Flourish, and both would crit. For those of you doing math at home, you're looking at 7k WSs in Abyssea followed by 10k skillchains.
In terms of WS damage, Twashtar and Daka +2 are going to be pretty comparable in Abyssea.
Also, since my last post I thought of a way to extend the chain of awesome: 5 FMs -> Building -> Climactic -> Presto -> Box Step -> NFR -> Rudra's -> Reverse -> Rudra's
With the right Atmas/Attack buffs, I bet you could do over 25k damage with this combination. Alas, if only people ever wanted to kill Abyssea NMs quickly. xD
Unfortunately, Rudra's -> Rudra's can only make Darkness once. I try to explain it here. It's easiest to think of double darkness as a level 4 skillchain.
With just food, this is capable of killing most low-tier NMs: Sekka -> Climactic Flourish -> NFR -> Presto -> Step -> Evisceration -> Rudra's -> Reverse -> Rudra's
Also, did some very preliminary testing with Building Flourish (easier now that I'm one-shotting all the monsters with a crit) and it looks like it might give as much as 10% Attack with no merits.
i might be doing something wrong. i don't have Rudra's so i'm just using evis. it's not really doing more damage for me than striking > DE. is it only useful for people with emp weapons?
Looks like time to finish another magian weapon >.>....
