Ok, I know this probably isn't a big deal to most people.. but I wanted to share with some of the people who may be interested. Although in doing so, the weapon she wasn't completely legit (had added %'s) but it was completely within legal game boundaries. I.E. No multiequip, no hidden 300% BS, or any of that.
Normally, I'm satisfied with my FOnewearl's ability to deal out about 2,000 to 3,200 dmg on a single combo. This is done with her P-Arm Blades and only effects a single enemy. Lately, I've been playing around with some new weapons and happened upon a Soul Eater I'd gotten off Kireek a long time ago. I used some P.Spheres and turned it into a (100/100/0/0) weapon and went down to the forest offline.
Using it as a partisan type weapon works great.. as the Normal/Hard combos have a good hit rate and generally hit for about 180 on a normal attack to 380 on a hard attack - bout 500 on a critical.. to multiple enemies. I had completely overlooked it's "Beserk" special though.. until last night. WOW.
On a group of five Bartles, she succeeded in dishing out 4,000 overall damage in a single strike (3 - 1,000's and 2 - 600's.) In a single good combo, she can dish out a grand total of about 10,000 to 12,000 damage disperesed over a 5 enemy group.
As I said though, that is with a "Good Combo". Despite FOnewearl having the best ATA in the game, the Soul Eater's special has a poor hit rate which makes using it's special as a main form of attack impracticle - expecially since it's a Quest item and not a dropped item, it doesn't have the Hit% needed to make it an effective weapon. HP stealing without sure hits to negate a counter attack is also a situation a FOnewearl may not want to put herself into.
Without hit %'s, I doubt the Soul Eater could ever be a viable weapon to use online for a FOnewearl in the way I was using it... but it may well be something to consider if you're a fairly high level (or maxed) and want to do some rare-hunting or just want to save some fluids while clearing some levels offline.
