i wonder if im missing something or if kams numbers are overexaggerated
it is a strong effect with low investment, which is why i believe the repetitive hitting being necesary as a build up for strong attack would be the good way to go. Since you'll be doing subpar damage for a later burst of power with the necesity to actualy HIT people, you'll be tied to actualy keeping up an offense. No time to heal, buff, etcetera, else you're missing out on the option to deal the damage.
either way, getting rid of the possibility to have a weak message trigger would absolutely decimate this already subpar sword. you'd really be better off using excel weaponry and it'd not be such a terrible FP muncher. (along with the class freedom)
if that is the point of this thread, to remove the weak message, then the sword should recieve a different ability altogether.

to put some perspective into the numbers game, I've 83 water ATK, using a 20pow casting tool, str's in 50s, hit's showing as 249% in the stat screen

i cannot hit dedicated dodgers under any circumstances, and thats with eastern wind active
if i hit someone that's not a dodger, its 30-60 damage on crit, and with the water weakness, i do around a 100-140 per attack
i am not claiming i've the most optimal build for this, but the numbers are barely enough to outdamage people, and it's a stat sink to get this working.
