which has the higher damage modifier?

This was recently discussed and not only does Area2 have a higher damage mod it also has a good chance to stun and dizzy therefore it is much superior to spin2

The extra damage comes from the better animation for Area2.

stop being dumb tialys, just look at the area attack 2 animation. is there anything more ubar than that?

When I'm finished with a project at work, I often slash my keyboard around in much the same motion, kicking the trash can at the end.

Action hit 2 animation > Area attack 2...the little jump thing at the end of area attack 2 is kinda silly. However, area attack 2 animation > spin attack 2 animation.

Seriously, though, I thought Spin2 was 3.0x and Area2 was 2.5x with Stun chance?

2.75 for area2, 2.5 for spin2 now. Numbers.
