AK affects 25% atk of your weapon, while AS afects 10% on final damage and since AD is affected by your INT and target VIT and only a small% of your ATK then 10% of final damage is higher than 25% of ATK weaponWait a minute I must be missing something... How is AS better than AK except the price? AS is +10% while AK is 25%! Is the description outdated or something?

Only time elemental has a clear advantage over a twin edge is for CCing stuff that is fire / ice element. The 4 INT the ele sword gives is pretty much the same if not slightly less than the 55+ W.ATK ( will be more for the twin edge for the same upgrade amount because ele is lvl3, twin is lvl4 weapon) damage wise.

And what is neutral that you are going to fight after 130ish? The only neutral stuff I normally fight when leveling is Rachel sanc / AL3 ( hurts a LOT more, holy / wind element too). Everything else is either weak to fire or ice.

AD(test dummy):
AD(Am mut, shadow, +10% from elemental sword dont apply):
AD(Orc, Earth, +10% from elemental sword dont apply, suposly take more damage from twin since its weak agains fire):
AD(Green Maiden, Neutral):
CC(neutral, +10% from ES apply):
Hell Plant:
Demonic Fire:
Spore Explosion(due to skill effect i couldnt take a SS of the damage so i posted the battle chat):
Crazy Vines(where twin is superior to ES since CV is affected only by ATK):
Only the Highest damage deal(out of 3 tries) are posted here

your test is inacurate since Aethena Emulators still use the same formula for Acid Bomb, Pre-renewal formula. Even Aethena mods and 3cream project mods dont know the actual iRO used formula.

you can use endow scrolls, so the fire elemental isnt really a motive to say that twin>elemental sword, plus CC against fire/water element will do less damage if you really dont use endow.Umm, yeah.... acid bomb isn't affected by element calculation. CC is though, go CC that orc with the red twin and the ele sword once or go to scaraba since that is one of the better high end leveling places. CC is gonna be your main leveling tool - unless you go DF / FE leveling like I did ( stupid fast leveling, gotta make bombs though )

What's DF / FE?

DF and FE arent worth, at least if you plan WoEing, Demonic fire does low damage and even with FE lv1 (50%more damage)+ fire weak monsters the damage still crap(2000~2500), plus ppl in woe use fire resist(Pasana,fire armor, valk shield, Nid).
With DF+FE(lv5) AD AoE its pretty cool and give good AoE(4x4?) but you will at least spend 13 points when you can get Hell Plant + Mandragora Howl + crazy vines that last 2 gives you excelente WoE AoE.
DF damage is afected by your MATK (Red Ether Bag [1] or Elemental Sword[3]).
I dont think you really want to level using DF/FE since you have access to CC where you can do 13~15k damage with basic gear, can targe the mobs instead of choosing 4x4 area and its cheaper.

One, none uses DF by itself. Two, one of the levels of FE gives something like 50%+ ranged reducs.
And for Three: Howling is crap with the new resists, hell plant damage isn't great and can't be stacked anymore after the balance patch, vines is only good for the ganb effect and has a crap cast time without megs sleips and hammer - and even then it's hit or miss everywhere in the AoE. Oh yeah, ONLY the DF damage is based on MATK... when it gets turned to AB it is caclced like a normal AB... but does more damage. Especially since DF + FE ignores the -50% against players ( tested in PvP, full demi reducs on a 150 AB AB does 18-20K / DF+FE on the same AB same gears does 38-40K), as well as stoneskin - but it can be magic mirrored by at least MVPs.

Yep, they did a great job turning our skills upside down, backwards, and inside out with the 'rebalance' patch
Owell...very much looking forward to try out DF FE. It does dmg comperable to Acid Bomb, you say?

Better generally. It's acid bomb on steroids with level 5 FE.
