I wonder how the Cannith dr breakers with Deadly Weapons (once implemented) will stack up against Lightning II with Silver.
The best case for the Cannith weapon would be a Greatsword, since that has the highest base damage to double.
So, damage per attack of Cannith w/ DW vs. LitII w/ Silver, against 50% fort:
+4 HSEOB: (6 + 14) * 21/20 + (7 + 7) * 19/20 = 34.3
LitII: (5 + 10.5) * 21/20 + (7 + 3.5 + 12) * 19/20 + (5.5 + 5.5) * 4/20 + 14 * 1/20 = 40.55
+5 HBSGLOB: (9 + 14) * 21/20 + (7 + 10.5) * 19/20 + 10.5 * 4/20 = 42.875
Since all have the same crit profile, any additional base damage, or seeker damage, would cancel out. So, the basic HSEOB is worse than the LitII, but the deluxe HBSGLOB beats LitII by a little.
For Falchion:
+4 HSEOB: (6 + 10) * 22/20 + (7 + 7) * 19/20 = 30.9
LitII: (5 + 7) * 22/20 + (7 + 3.5 + 12) * 19/20 + (5.5 + 5.5) * 6/20 + 14 * 1/20 = 38.58
+5 HBSGLOB: (9 + 10) * 22/20 + (7 + 10.5) * 19/20 + 10.5 * 6/20 = 40.675
The relative differences are about the same. Note that these numbers should not be directly compared to the Greatsword numbers, as each scales differently with additional base damage.
For Khopesh:
+4 HSEOB: (6 + 9) * 23/20 + (7 + 7) * 19/20 = 30.55
LitII: (5 + 5.5) * 23/20 + (7 + 3.5 + 12) * 19/20 + (11 + 11) * 4/20 + 14 * 1/20 = 38.55
+5 HBSGLOB: (9 + 9) * 23/20 + (7 + 10.5) * 19/20 + 14 * 4/20 = 40.125
So again, about the same.

Right now, I'd be happy to just be able to hit a moving target and not have half my swings not register. It's perfect. Create 2 raids with mobile bosses and then break hit proximity.
I've done MA a few times now, and there's one thing that puzzles me: Ronny's movement AI. It seems like sometimes he's well behaved and stays still and just attacks the tank while the rest hit his back. Other times, he wanders around aimless, like someone is kiting him, but noone is, and he doesn't actually seem to be aggro'd on anyone in particular. Does he just have some "random wander" movement mode that he goes into sometimes?
