Thread: Sirius Axe Testing, Hidden effect results inside.    

Despite what the wiki says, Sirius Axe DOES increase in damage with the amount of people in the party. Tested on wild rabbits in West Ronfaure using BST/THF Sneak attack.

I used the company sword testing as a reference for this test
http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/viewto ... pany+sword

Using this formula(AdjustedBaseDMG + 8 + FLOOR(43/9)) * 3

Damage did not change with TP levels at all. I did not test any WS damage.

Max Crit for party members
1 - 165
2 - 165
3 - 171
4 - 177
5 - 183
6 - 189

Adjusted Base Dmg Ratings
1 - 43
2 - 43
3 - 45
4 - 47
5 - 49
6 - 51

Only party members count towards hidden effect. Alliance members do not count.
I invited a 7th person to ally up with us. I left 5 in the main party and 2 in the ally. The max crit went back down to 183, appropriate for the 5 people party. Too bad it doesn't count allies, would be incredibly strong. Party members running around the zone out of normal xp range did not matter.

I also tested to see if adding a charmed pet would help the damage of the axe. What I learned is that my 75 BST can fail charm on a fucking wild rabbit. lolbst indeed. Unfortunately both charmed and jug pets did not add to the weapon damage.

Overall the axe is a pretty big dissapointment. With the full latent on those pretend invites BST gets, it doesn't outperform any of the common axes. Unless the axe has some sort of pet enhancement, its a complete piece of shit, much like the majority of BST ToAU gear.

Thanks to Nystul for the PM and my LS for letting me drag them down for some really boring testing.

lolbst

So Wafik, you had time to sit around in West Ronfaure and test Sirius Axe, but you didn't have time to make my avatar?

I was AFK on autofollow, i'm free now!

Sirius Axe.
Serious business.

its sad but i cant stop laughin at that ><

Esirius i think.

Considering i had never heard of the sirius axe before... i thought it was just someone misspelling something about axe testing in general.

*facepalm*

lolhydra...

I really don't understand why this axe exists. I wouldn't use this over Woodsville, Maneater, Leopard Axe or Juggernaut. Hell Tarbarzin/Tabarzin+1 gives it a run for the money.

It's too normal to have some buccaneer knife status. There's definetly stuff that is just too plain hard/time consuming to test. (Actually, I was thinking worthless).

Possibilities include:
Charm+
Killer Effects+
Hidden Enhance Call Beast+
Crit Rate+
Used for some Synthesis (not rare/ex)

Hi, I'm Square-Enix; have we met?

I'm glad somebody finally got to test this. Now somebody has to find out if Double Axe is a joke.

thanks a lot for testing this. I was getting pretty sick of hearing people's speculation without a solid test, but I wasn't able to get my hands on one to test myself. also, props for not messing up the constant fstr.

It looks pretty awsome!

... that's about where the awsome ends, though.
