So I can't find it in the forum or I just didn't look but what about this as an option for Blu.

Fairly new to the job I have 4/5 +2 along with the accessories and some other decent gear for this job for each spell that I use.

Maybe I'm just confused on the augmentation on this sword so this is my thought process . . . .

Usually I get my tp to 100 and then I use Savage Blade / CA / Efflux / Quad for really good dmg distortion skillchain.

When me and my brother thejuggernaut play I he or I will do the Savage Blade then the other will do CA / Efflux / Quad and you will see a huge different in damage put out. Last night I was in a aby party and I had a dusty wing and I did my weapon skill used the wing and then CA/Efflux/Quad and I saw a difference from what I was doing with just SB / CA / EF / Qaud.

My question is will this sword utilmately give you 100 tp when you have only like 5 to 10 tp from switching it out in your macro after doing Savage Blade?

Wouldn't that be a pretty good sword to use since all you have to do is pop it in and pop it back out and you should see alot more dmg in your Quad hence making the SC distortion also being higher. Efflux is giving you tp bonus as well so this is the same thing and should stack.

I dont' really care inside abby or outside of abby talk but since I blu cleave and I usually use all staff for charged whiskers I could do the same thing with CA/EF/WoR and still get the added bonus on the second one of course the first move I use is WoR when I'm cleaving as blu.

Let me know what you think and give me some thoughts about what would be a better choice for better damage output

If you are talking about the TP bonus Mach+2, TP Bonus is like the martial weapons: Basically, when you have 100% TP and you weapon skill, it bumps the damage multiplier up to 200%, and at 200% it'd be bumped up to 300%. It doesn't magically give you TP.

TP Bonus wouldn't affect spells anyways.

Are we sure TP Bonus doesn't affect CA / Blue spells?

And the verbage on the Mach +2 is differnt than martial since it says tp bonus and the magian says Tp Bonus + 100 which why would they really specify +100 on magian when the tp bonus on the martial have always been 100?

Seems a bit odd I might make and just play with it a little bit anyways

Same reason brutal earring doesn't say "Double attack +5%"; because SE is silly and inconsistent.
