Samba?

Is this a Samba.. Or is it a Dancer Only kind of thing.. Cause that's friggin awesome for alliance. →Shadowhero 17:21, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

If it was a Samba, it'd say so, as well as the TP cost. The pictures for Saber Dance and Fan Dance are shown as regular Job Abilities, not dances. Malumultimus 00:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I posted this before it said anything, before it even said what it did... Shadowhero 01:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I was testing this ability out on my dnc today and i have brutal earring for 5% double atk i wanna try again with /war but i seen in the 3hrs i was out their a triple atk go off on one or the other wpn prolly 10 or so times that i NOTICED lol, may of been a glitchy graphic but i doubt it... i wanna test this more later but it looks lie double attack can proc off of the saber dance's double attack or visa~versa.

Doesn't appear to "triple attack" proc off Joyeuse's multiple attacks, nor does it appear to stack with the proc-rate on it. Joyeuse + Saber Dance != 95% Double Attack sadly. Captain Kyari 16:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

So, has anyone tried brutal earring, joyeuse, and saber dance? or even /war with these? im wondering how high you can get the proc rate on the double attack or does it cap off at 95%. --Theode 09:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

The entire point is that Joyeuse doesn't increase the proc rate, it doesn't "cap off" at 95% because Joyeuse's "attacks twice" doesn't count as double attack and thus doesn't increase the proc rate. Assuming regular double attack stats stack with Saber Dance, you can theoretically hit about 70% proc rate if you sub warrior, wear a brutal earring and eat a Shogun Rice Ball while wearing a Roshi Jinpachi. As far as testing goes, be sure not to wear any Cobra gear, as that small chance to Counter could end up looking like you've "triple attacked".Captain Kyari 16:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure they mean the joytoy has a 45% proc rate and saber dance has a 50% proc rate...

So, if you don't double attack with the natural joytoy effect, then you still have a 50% chance to double attack with a brutal earring --Shadowhero 07:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Appears to stack with WS's atleast for the first two hits as with regular DA, need actually testing to prove this but the difference is noticeable--Chocobocharmer 08:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
