Rampage and Vorpal Blade

Although many people would automatically say rampage is stronger than vorpal blade. vorpal blade has higher base damage than rampage when you are using the company sword in a full party. This is because the first hit of rampage is nerfed to a 0.5 TP modifier. The 1.0 TP Modifier for vorpal blade allows the str modifier to enhance the first hit. If the first hit of vorpal blade deals critical damage then it will almost always deal over 1k damage with a WAR/NIN or DRK/NIN with attack food and last resort or berserk

sneak attack

Does it really stack with sneak attack? I use it all the time when i'm farming, when I use sneak attack and then vorpal blade the damage output never seems to differ to that of when I don't use sneak attack beforehand... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tidus mi2 (talk • contribs).

As far as I know, it will only enhance (ensure critical hit) the first hit of multi-hit weapon skills, but it will guarantee accuracy on all hits. --.Eithin//T•C 19:01, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

crit rate with ODD Tp

Opinions belong in discussion. Facts on main page. Just becaus you've observed something does not make it fact. Your odd TP could be, and is most likely, a placebo. Post tests in discussion involving TP used and WS values with TP return. Use consistant one EVEN tp amount and one ODD. So ONLY record WSs at 101 and 102% TP for instance. Untill you prove something as fact, please don't update the front page. --Noodles355 20:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
