Was reading Wiki about this and it has grid for which WS type (pierce/slash/blunt) to use depending on the time of day you claim or pop (for pop NMS). How accurate is this? Just curious if there's a lot of people that can confirm the time/damage types and such.

Yea, that's the same as what I was saying. I know the times and WSs. But what I'm asking is how accurate is it. Is there anyone that argues the theory or is it's pretty much 100% proven to be thsi way?

It's 100% fact~ There are other things that can trigger these though, I think BST pets get some 'WSes' that count, so you can still get screwed even if you plan ahead.

I'd give you screenshots but we kill everything between 22-6 nowadays, we have all WSes covered. Just got Bullwhip belt doing this, etc.

I saw your screenshot but it only had 2 out of the 5 people in the allaince in the screenshot so I'd guess you got filters on...

Yes any magic from the current day and the day before and after can trigger weakness. Sooo, let's say it's Lightsday. Lightning, Light, and Dark-based spells have a chance to trigger.

I'm not sure, but we went one NM without proccing !!'s using all elemental WSes, and we're 95% sure they were all done while it wasn't casting/tping/etc.

There's probably some BLU thing or BST thing that can trigger it, but I couldn't tell you which abilities would. :s

I've always gotten it using the ones listed on wiki. It took a few tries on the stupid giant cause of it's normal attacks counting and all it's forms but meh

Yeah the one time was the only time it didn't work. I'm sure the list covers 95% of what can trigger.
