I wasplaying around withRem's SWG Weapon Damage Calculator*, and as I looked up myrather well crafted Katana (60-250,2.5,Garhu) and my current speed of 40. The results were a little odd... So I put in a mSWD/mBRW and the results are stil the same...
- Area2 (2nd box) gives out a higherdpsthan Area3 (4th box).
- Spin2 (1st box) gives out a higher dps than both of them.
- HeadHit3 (3rd box) gives out a higher dps than Hit3 (the pride of our proffession from the Master box)
So let me get this straight...
- Area3 is really onlyanAoE Dizzy attack
- Area2 is the important AoE PD attack
- Spin2 is the important AoE attack (okay, thats fine, but should it be in the first box everyone learns?)
So really, the Offense line of SWDs is all for an AoE Dizzy?A status that doesn't even work against creatures (the best place to utilise AoE tactics). I mean we are already granted a PD attack with Sweep2, and although the dps is minimal, so to is the ham costs, its lovley when you've been forced to wear your composite and trying to tank with your last breath...
and why is it that Area2 and Area3 look like upgraded anmations of Sweep2, when Area1 looks like it would scare Darth Maul?
* See for yourself...

Yeah but then I pumped the speed right up (125), and the same results came out...
I mean my original hope was the Scythe is faster than a Katana, and that would be the answer. But it wouldn't matter even if the weapon had a speed of 1.0, same result.
I did notice that on this DPS calculator, Rem suggests that Area3 has a 3xDamMod, but Prima swears it is 4xDam. Who's right?

in my experience i get the most damage with area attack 3
for single targets tho hit 3 its very strong
its best use though it that it causes dizzy
so what i do is hit 3 till dizzy sticks, then lunge 2 and then headhit 3 ( pvp )
or i might use sweep instead of lunge 2 cause its a powerful posture change attack
soheres a summery :
best AOE : area 3
best single random pool : hit 3
best generall attack : headhit 3 cause its all to a single pool with only slightly less dmg
