Well its confirmed now, meg + bako beats GP + bako.

 

Thanks for prematurely sharing the info ud :I

 

But yes, my calc was wrong because the description for what meg does is wrong. It does give damage if it is a boss monster, but it is NOT the same as say... an Abysmal Knight card, it has it's own damage modifier for that 10% that only effects bosses.

 

Here's the adjusted figures after figuring out wtf that mod on meg actually was.

 

1x GP+GS and 1x Bako = 9% more damage than bako.

1x Meg and 1x Bako = 17.25% more damage than bako.

 

This makes GP+GS around half the power of a meg in terms of damage increase on a Crimson Katar. Does more on JDR etc etc. I'd still use it seeing as price v power etc but eh, it's not that it didn't hit the area of damage I was expecting, it was merely the meg comparison that fell short. If you were doing 30,000 dps per RC a GP would make it 32,700 and a Meg would make it 35,175 so don't split hairs too much.

 

Thanks kRO :U

If you DO own a JDR, it is 1/3~1/4 of a Meg. A meg is obviously better in the JDR instance due to the extremely large amount of base attack and weapon level, but for anyone using Crimson Katars (or even VM versions), this will trump it.
 

 

Why would weapon level matter? Or is that in reference to the 10% boss damage boost helping the wATK from refinement?

I get that variance and refinement give more atk for the % boost...

 

... but EDP relies on weapon level too? 

 

I recently had to apply an update to my EDP formula, which in turn ended up the on the calc. EDP -_- is RERL.
