March 2019 Version Update
Over 10 pages and no one gonna talk about the pup update? Or iam the only one that have happy pants over it!
Already talked about in the pup thread. Nothing really groundbreaking (exactly like they promised) just some mediocre dps increase. Obviously a nice freebie.
At least PUP more desired then MNK.
Did several NNI tonight with over 20 +2 boxes and just as many +1 weapons. Small sample size I know, but no pulse. Best I got was some Pinga Pants, nq Unity weapons and two T4 znm pops. Rest was npc trash.

So the GK has the same effect as Murasamemaru.

same as in the non elemental damage thing?
worst pulse effect ever

Visual effect. Haven't actually done any WS with it.
Sword has bubbles like the Ephemeron, dagger same as Coruscanti
Tells say exactly what I was thinking. It has dark farts. I saw saw ss of orginal 99 weapon having some dark blood drops too so this one has it too probably but its barely noticable and not even recolored to red as far as i csn see >.>
I posted my testing on the sam guide for the GK but figured I'd jump here for the sword. I did a very small sample size vs the machairodus in kuftal. With tact roll as the only buff, savage was doing around 21K. With 2 worthless rolls, 4 non-dmg songs, pro, shell, flurry, etc., it was doing 31K. That is with no multi-hits. I was hitting near the att/def walls, I believe. I retried and found that around +500 or so attack was putting me at the 31K range, and any past that was capping at around 31K. It seems the 8 or 9 buffs was jumping the attack up by 4-500+.
That is VERY short testing, however.

I'd think its rather % attack not static attack. Which is easy to test actually. Just go naked with only sword and check then.

It has a little drips, but the color is black. So the Scythe is farting and peeing at the same time xD
Ok so Tauret:
Sample size 100
+45-50% critical hit rate at 0TP
Sample size 300
+0-5% critical hit rate at 3000TP
Sample size 50
+13% critical hit rate on Evisecration between 1030 and 1200TP
Conclusion for now:
1. It doesn't snapshot critical hit rate bonus after TP is taken for WS, because then it would be close to +45% on Evisceration
2. 13% at ~1100TP would suggest that it might have a really big drop from that 50% at 0TP. It might not be lineral or it might drop to 0% a lot sooner than 3000TP. There is also slim chance that this +13% was only a result of small sample size and Tauret bonus doesn't work for WS at all, but I doubt that
3. It doesn't work for ranged attacks
Sample size 100
+45-50% critical hit rate at 0TP
Sample size 300
+0-5% critical hit rate at 3000TP

3. It doesn't work for ranged attacks
The effects are locked to each weapon and they are only visible when engaged.
The staff has an animated black smoke effect around the head of the weapon, same as the scythe, the 1h axe has a similar smoke effect but it's less visible and more earthy.
The GK has a very subtle blue glow, same for the great sword, the 1h sword has s subtle white blurred glow with little white particles flying off it.
The great axe has a radiating fire effect (like the war job emote), as does the h2h.
The dagger and polearm have animated electric effects.
The wand has nice animated sparkle effect and the bow has similar effect but they shoot out the back when you fire an arrow.
Katana has stylized wind effects around the blade, kind of like you see around amphitere mobs.

And people laughed when I spent all those hours farming almost every pulse weapons way back when. Well, who is laughing now?!
:DD
Everyone thought SE this was a patch to buff PUP, but in reality it was another COR patch.

Does it take the 1000 TP rate when used with Sekkanoki or with whatever TP you had?

With the staff getting the same as Adflictio, and the bow getting white sparkles like Dukka.
Axe = Aytanri (dropping rocks)
Chopper = Himthige (fire)
Claymore = Borealis (icy mist)
Katana = Ikarigiri (swirly wind)
Knife = Coruscanti (electric sparks)
Knuckles = Girru (fire)
Lance = Delphinius (electric sparks)
Rod = Dukkha (sparkles, like glitter)
Scythe = Adflictio (dark mist)
Sword = Ephemeron (windy distortion... the katana and dagger version is better)
Tachi = Murasamemaru (drips water)

90% of my WSs were at 1020-1080. I was Wsing outside of Bastok, using Tactician Roll for TP gain.

This dagger is gonna be insane for semi-afk bead farming on dragons then.
Just setup gearswap or etc to automatically swap weapons when >900 tp to constantly reset it back to 0.
Dagger will have like a 100% crit rate with Mummu+2 gear
Or just play Monk / Corsair
Is anyone with the sword able to see if it works on WS other than savage blade? Or if it works with ranged weapons?

Guess that means we should mule/use any we currently have before attempting NNI
