This is my first time posting in the WAR forum, even tho have gotten a lot of good info from the veterans here over the years, and have a question regarding a certain GAX.
I have and use a perdu, but looking at the tp mods for Kings Justice and Steel Cyclone, I'm wondering how well martial bhuj performs in exp and endgame compared Perdu and other GAX?
Does the TP bonus overcome the lower damage in any scenarios compared to perdu or even beserkers or Erlking's(with any damage+ augments)?
Any information, or personal experience/opinion would be helpful, thanks.

Viability of Martial BhujFollow
M.bhuj is a great weapon to sell on the AH to other WARs for a nice profit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To elaborate, this is the only situation in which I see M.bhuj being superior to Perdu:
You cannot TP on the mob, you have to build TP externally. You cannot use RR/KJ. You are /THF. Despite building TP externally, building to 300 isn't feasible.
In that case I'd say M.bhuj takes the cake. If you're meleeing for TP, perdu wins hard. If you can't melee for TP but can build to 300 anyway (dark ixion) there's no point in using m.bhuj. If you're using KJ it sucks. If you're using RR it really sucks.
As for why people still buy it? There have always been and there will always be people with more money than good ideas.

I used to use a M.Bhuj pre-2handed update.
I think I sold it sometime after getting a perdu.
I would think it would be best on like old style gods /thf with savegery after the first WS.

M Bhuj was a good option prior to P. Voulge, the Raging Rush patch, and the 2 handed weapon boost.

Hey, if you can get someone to let you close Darkness each and every time you have 100% TP, then Martial Bhuj is full of win. Shame, that's really hard to do

From my experience with this, I agree. No comment on the Martial Bhuj part, but SC really pulls ahead on Demons in Xarc for me with Perdu. I'm not sure how the DoT would match up, since I don't own, or ever plan on owning, a Martial Bhuj, but I have a feeling that the DoT on Perdu would still put it ahead of Martial in the grand scheme of things.

I bought a martial bhuj a while back just so I could see for myself what the deal was. It was a disappointment. I sold it very soon thereafter.

The point still stands that using SC with M. Bhuj < 200 tp is not good.

As someone pointed out, it adds 100 TP to whatever value you have and doesn't go past 300. I've mentioned it a billion times before on this forum but the Bhuj and Steel Cyclone is a pretty consistent WS given good food and a setup. It doesn't reach the highs of Raging Rush or sometimes King's Justice but it is pretty high. Ideally between 120 and 150 TP is the best time to use a WS with it so you've broken the 200 TP threshold and gotten into the higher end of the modifiers.
Of course the primary the reason not to use the Bhuj is the lower DMG causing your DOT to go down. The only real way to counteract that is to get consistent Darkness chains providing you with extra oomph. Granted, you could do that with King's Justice but Steel Cyclone is more consistent.

No, just id numbers, which can be used to estimate join date if you know someone else's join date who has a similar id number. For example, your id number is only slightly higher than mine, and i joined around the beginning of april 2004, so you must have joined early/mid april 2004.
