Talk:Fortitude Axe
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
is that to say if you have triple attack it can attack between 1-6 times ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eightball805 (talk • contribs).
If it follows the rules of most "occasionally attacks X times" weapons, Double and Triple attack take precedence over other multi-attack options. That is to say, if it double attacks, it will not also then attack more because of the "occasional" property. --◄Chrisjander► t/ c 19:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
did you even read the notes about the axe ?
I haven't had a chance to use this axe, but I do know for a fact Temperance Axe paired with Brutal Earring can attack up to 4 times in one attack round. I would say this axe does have a very slim possibility of attacking up to 6 times in one attack round if you have the triple attack trait. --Hypnotizd 22:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
yea thats what im thinking but i would rather have a drk with this and Homam body tell me he has swung 6 times in one attack round with this axe and if its true drk zerging with this gonna be crazy :O i cant wait to try it XD
The probability of swinging 6 times with homam body and fortitude axe is .005%, meaning that it would happen once every 20,000 melee rounds. In other words, it happens, but in exceeding rarity. --Wraith Lakshmi 12:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
true it is very unlikly but the fact that TA works with this means it more likely to attack more than one hit each time which makes it still very good for drk zerg.
Umm, the notes on this page say Each hit from the "Occasionally attacks twice" effect counts as individual weapon hits, meaning Double Attack from equipment (Brutal Earring, etc.) and job traits can activate on both swings. This also means when the weapon's effect procs during a weapon skill, each of the two hits give full TP return unlike additional hits from Double Attack, Triple Attack or multihit weapon skills. With Double Attack trait from equipment or traits, this weapon may swing one to four times in a row.
This is quite subpar at some parts... first off, this weapons effect CANNOT activate on weapon skills, just like all the other "Occasionally Attacks X times" weapons. Secondly, the "With Double Attack trait from equipment or traits, this weapon may swing one to four times in a row," part is completely unnecessary, as it was already described in the first sentence as saying that double attack can proc on both hits. I think people playing this game can add 2+2 to get 4, it doesn't need to be spelled out for them. I'm editing it for now, if someone finds anything wrong with my edit feel free to return it to how it was before. --Aprili 03:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
