With Cid, i have both the flayer and venus gospel at level ~55
Although the Flayer's attack power is 100, and the gospel's is 97, the flayer does ~3-4000 less damage. Anyone know why?

Power on the Venus Gospel can vary a bit depending on Cid's MPs. But that much? Seems a little odd to me.

Quick answer to quick question.

Venus Gospel being an Ultimate Weapon, damage is calculated mostly via MP.
Not something such as the basic damage formula + More MP, More damage
That means if you want to do more damage with Venus Gospel, Increase your MP either by leveling UP, MP Plus materia or Magic/Summon materias.

Thanks, so you think with 0 mp the gospel would do less dmg than the flayer, and MP is just an add-on due to the ultimate weapon status... Ill try it

At 0MP you will cause the most ridiculous damage you have ever seen. Same goes for almost every stat dependant UW such as 1Hp with either HP Shout or Ultimate Weapon.

Note that this won't ever affect your limits, they will always cause as much damage.

Actually, yeah, ultimate weapon effects do work on limit breaks. Ultima Weapon, L55 Cloud, full HP - 4000 per meteor in Meteorain. Same weapon, same Cloud, down to 1000 HP - about 800 per meteor. This was tested in the Battle Square.

I guess you were Right...

I equipped my lvl99 Cid the Venus Gospel and here are my results using Highwind

0/9050MP
Normal Hit: 4900-5000 Critical: 9800-9999

9050/9050MP
Normal Hit: 5000-5050 Critical: 9999

What a HUGE difference!!!

I never really liked the Ultimate Weapons until I mastered everything on Cactuar Island. I had to equip things like Steal, Deathblow, etc. on armor slots so they would grow.

Then what accounts for the 3/4k difference Jolrael[TWIST] reported? Were there any other inconsistancies in your tests, Jolrael? And what is Cid's current max MP? Perhaps the maximum affects it as well?
