Talk:Occasionally Attacks X Times
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
I'm confused by the introduction -- I'm not really sure what's being said. Can someone edit it to make it clearer? I think these are the main points trying to be expressed, but I'm not sure:
- Double and Triple Attack and the effect normally won't execute together
- The trait will be checked to execute first, and a job ability second.
- When dual wielding a multi-attack weapon, it won't affect your other held weapon.
Then there's something about how often the trait goes off, but again I'm not sure what's being said there. --Enfield 12:20, 5 September 2006 (EDT)

SA/TA and Multihit weapons
Taken from one of Keichan's LJ entry
- 2. If you use a multi hit weapon (such as a Kraken Club)as a main weapon, ALL RESULTING HITS will connect regardless of your accuracy. You can be entirely naked on THF hitting AV with a Kraken Club (and for the most part missing every single hit) but the moment you use SA and you just let it hit the mob, you will have 100% accuracy for that rally. (I'm not saying that you're not going to hit for 0's.. but you WILL hit it with 100% accuracy).
- This can be quite useful for something such as a THF/DRK. Right before you'd Souleater, you'd SA from behind the mob with kraken for a potental 2-8 free hits, and then TA for another 2-8 free hits. Afterwords, you'd do Feint, and go crazy on the mob and by the time Feint wears, Souleater is just about done and you've done your share of damage.
Probably a good thing to put on note.
I'm not certain if it works on /THF though.--VZX 01:18, 27 October 2006 (EDT)
Zanshin
Does Zanshin work on missed extra attacks?

IIRC, it's not. But feel free to CMIIW--vzx (See me|Talk to me) 14:19, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
Translate that to English? --Ctownwoody 15:35, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
If I Recall Correctly, it's not. But feel free to Correct Me If I'm Wrong.--vzx (See me|Talk to me) 17:12, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
Aftermath
Can't be sure, but I don't think the attacks twice is only during aftermath. Given that aftermath is "occasional" to begin with, they would be inferior to other multiple hit weapons. I suppose its best to just leave it there with the verification tag for now, but just my thoughts. Tahngarthortalk-contribs 04:45, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- My question is, why have verification if it specifically states "Occasionally attacks twice." Shentok 02:12, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Jailer Weapons
I noticed it used to say that jailer weapons'(weapons that regular virtue stones) double attack can proc on weapon skills but it was removed without any explanation(guessing because it doesn't?). So, I want to know if anyone can confirm if jailer weapons can or can't proc on weapon skills? Petco 06:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Confirmation On the Main Page
Someone has added "Confirmed" to the stacking effect of a Occ. Attacks X times weapon and Double Attack. I think that confirmation should be provided on this page or in a link before "Confirmed" let alone a Confirmation tag is added. I do not want to start an editing war with this, but I am going to fix the main page until real confirmation is provided.
There are several reasons that this appears to be a hoax. First, there is a very much confirmed limit on the number of attacks in a single round of 8. The assertion that you can get 9 swings causes definite concern that this is a hoax.
Since there is a large amount of proof of both of these situations, I have re-edited the page and will ask that any confirmation of a difference be provided.
You cannot prove an absolute negative, since there will never be any evidence of it. There is zero proof on one side of the debate.--Bsphil 05:25, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
