[1.2.396] Demon Slayer (2)

Damage for Force efficiency seems to be where this thing needs to go. Therefore, Demon Explosion is detrimental to DPS at bosses unless you need to hit more monsters/wide area, and Devil Cry appears to be detrimental as well, unless the defense reduction can make up for the loss I'm seeing. Even before this patch that made Demon Explosion cost more Force, and be weaker and slower, it was still a detriment to DPS, since Demon Impact just did so much more damage for the same amount of Force, it couldn't be made up for despite being significantly faster. I doubt any pre-4th job skill would be beneficial to DPS, but I haven't taken the time to calculate it. They don't seem to be anywhere near as strong as the 4th job skills though, and I am surprised there are no skills that passively boost any of their damage available, especially considering the number Mercedes had at her disposal.


Does anyone have a clearer idea of how much Force they gain when attacking bosses, and the extra gained from Max Force's activation?
