Rudra's Storm Vs Evi

Hello, I have been trying to figure out what would be best for WS damage total.

Presently i use :

(Kila +2 and Yataghan 5% crit)


1)Evisceration --> Reverse Flourish---> Dancing Edge --> Distortion.


I'm trying to get Daka+2 (solo coins, vnm etc) for Rudra's storm


I'm wondering if it's really worth it.


2)Striking flourishe---> Rudra's storm

Can it pull more damage?


or


3)Rudra's storm --> Reverse Flourish ---> Evisceration ---> dark

Can it do even more?


4)I also heard Building Flourish + Wild Flourish + Evisceration
pulls good numbers too.


For inside and outside aby plz.


Thank you very much for helping me find out

You have to remember that any finishing moves you use have the potential to just have been TP for another weapon skill. With the current Reverse Flourish options (AF3+2, tier 1 merits), you're looking at about 4 Finishing moves per Weapon Skill.

That's why it's generally such a bad idea to use things like Wild Flourish and Building Flourish. Striking Flourish may not even be a good idea, but I permit it because it makes pretty numbers sometimes. =p

While it's true that Rudra's Storm does open Darkness, if that's what you're aiming for, then Pyrrhic Kleos will also open it.

As far as Rudra's Storm damage goes, I can't help you there, but I've seen some THFs pull out insane SA Rudra's, I wouldn't be surprised if DNC could with Striking Flourish.

Striking > 300% Rudra's > step > reverse > evisceration = darkness.
This is how I open the majority of my solo fights.

If striking isn't up then I usually just spam evisceration inside abyssea. Outside I might be more inclined to evis -> DE, evis -> rudra's, or spam DE. I haven't been outside of abyssea enough to figure this out yet.

My DEs than Eviscerations outside Abyssea, but if I'm self-skillchaining Rudra's -> Evisceration is better damage regardless whether or not I can stack it with Striking.

Thank you very much for all your answer : )
