Aesir Mantle > Foragers For Tp?

The problem is, changes like diabolos / fenrir are going to be impossible to eyeball.

I guess I'll stick with Fenrir earring for now then, fun excitement.

If it procs like Joyeuse, the DA will overlap rather than stack. Thus, you're looking at a partial value with heavily reduced returns. Assuming 50% (the 45% number's been in question for a while, I like 50%), you're really only adding 0.5% DA on non-Darksdays. On top of that, you have 15% DA innately (57.5% before Aesir). 1.58/1.575=0.32%; if pDIF is uncapped Forager's will be better. On Darksday it's a 0.63% increase... pDIF would still have to be very high for Aesir to win.

Rajas is still great for h2h/1handers until you're able to get lava/whatever that other new ring is :X

str is NOT that much of an importance to a Mnk... *feels sad when a mnk is caught wearing a rajas ring* shame on you!

Yes to Hagun and Gorget

Elv 5/5 Str

WS gear = RSE ammo, orc hat, gorget, bush, brutal, osode, alky, triumph, rajas, warwolf, usu leg, rutter

On a single hit WS with /war does stacking DA have diminishing returns vs straight str?

Situations like /War(10) + pole(2) + brutal(5) + askar body(2) + new mantle(1) would be 20% DA rate.
Or 3% DA vs 10 str.

Another even more situational use would be during Sekkinoki and Meiyko(sp) with Hachiman Jinpachi +1.

I'm assuming the 3% DA from hachi would beat the 2 Str increase from orc helm (maybe wrong on that), but would stacking a full DA set here be helpful (with the xtra 3% from hachi head assuming that DA on ws doesn't suffer from diminishing returns)

in my opinion i would get this for reason right now i have 9% DA as sam in gear.....

with Aesir Mantle it would increase to 10%

y = 100n/(x+100)

is an effective equation of the DA graph; y represents the percentage increase in damage caused by an increase in n Double Attack effective on a base stat of x.

Let's analyse the graph's features as further confirmation of the "decreasing returns" of Double Attack.

Differentiating the above function with respect to x to obtain an expression for the change in y relative to the change in x yields you the equation: (note n is a constant as it is chosen independent to this graph - this may seem minor but it's a big deal that this is the case in calculus)

dy/dx = - 100n/(x+100)^2

Notice the minus sign; this basically tells us that the function is decreasing. To further prove that this is the case, let us calculate the turning points of the function (dy/dx = 0)...

dy/dx equals 0 when either n or x = 0. If n is 0 then it should not be a surprise that there is a turning point, since there will in fact be no gradient to speak of since you are not adding anything (hence the initial equation simplifies to y=0)!

If x is zero the result is not useful since there is no comparative gain/loss (however still a negative result). Therefore, the rate of change of y relative to x is a decreasing trend with no turning points. This basically shows mathematically that this function is decreasing contrary to what some people may say!

Tl;dr: Yes, Double Attack does become less valuable as you add more of it.
