Talk:Kraken Club
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
When Dark Knights use a Kraken Club and Souleater, they can cause massive damage. Every hit the club does takes 10% of your life. When having a WHM or Blood Weapon with Souleater, HP is returned. Souleater lasts 1 min, and with merits the recast timer can be below 5 mins. A Dark Knight can do around 12-15,000 damage every Souleater. This is arguably the best damage combo in the game. The drawback, however, is the monster will have VERY high TP gain, and give the Dark Knight ALOT of Enmity. Enmity can be lowered -10 with every Muted Soul merit, though.
Dark Knight with Kraken Club is a popular way late game to "speed kill" some HNMs. There have been many instances where Kirin is killed in a matter of minutes using this setup. Also Kraken-burn-able mobs include King Vinegarroon, Bahamut (B2) and Vrtra. -Ayann/Makaveli | Lakshmi

abit late, and somewhat irrelevent, but kirin can be killed as quick as 40 secs, or less using kc drk(s), hell get 10 kc drks and he'd go down in a matter of 5 secs. a competent tp burn setup can take him down in 3-5 mins. --rOg \ TaLk 21:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
What would happen if a 72DRK dual wielded a Kraken Club and an Octave Club and did Souleater and Blood Weapon on one of those HNMs...? --Bojack316 20:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Nothing, you're limited to 8 attacks per round tops --Lordshadow 21:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Ohh, lol, I didn't know that. So if you have KC/Ridill and the KC proc'd 8 hits, the Ridill wouldn't swing? --Bojack316 21:18, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't think that's how it works. If you're dual wielding, each weapon is guarenteed one swing. K Club would cap at 7 hits. --Lordshadow 21:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Multihit breakdown
Has there been any research done in the breakdown of Kraken Club's multihit properties? For example, Joyeuse has an estimated breakdown of 45% SA / 55% DA, and Ridill has an estimated breakdown of 30% SA / 50% DA / 20% TA. I'd be curious to see how a Kraken Club fares, as this would help put some numbers on its true DPS and TP generation. --Pav Feira 20:25, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I've wondered this as well... there must be SOME testing somewhere, I just wish the results were here on the wiki as well to make it more accessible.--Nicknick 18:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
