'Spiral Dance"

[Darklighter]

I like gravity dance better regardless of how inferior it is.

[Sylpheed]

Spiral Dance hits harder than Gravity Dance once you get it to 21.

Spiral Dance at level 40 is:
First part: 145% attack hitting two spots three times
Second part: 300% attack hitting two spots two times
Third part: 350% attack hitting two spots three times

The total damage would be 4170
145*2*3 + 300*2*2 + 350*2*3
or
870 + 1200 + 2100

Gravity Dance at level 40 is:
First Part: 140% attack hitting two spots four times
Second Part: 190% attack hitting three spots two times
Third Part: 480% attack hitting three spots one time

Total damage would be 3700
140*2*4 + 190*3*2 + 480*3
or
1120 + 1140 + 1440

I find Spiral Dance more practical in most situations. Spiral Dance takes about 5 second to complete without just attack and about 7 seconds to complete with just attack. Which is about identical to Gravity. The main difference is that Spiral doesn't have as long of a pause between the second and third part.

Of course this is just the opinion of someone who only played figh long enough to level spiral to 40, and Absolute and gravity to 31. (basically just power leveled the PAs to 31 then switched classes.) Spiral is the only one I use normally when I play figh so I can't say what a person who plays it as their main class has to say about it.

You realise he said Spiral IS BETTER than Gravity, right? Either way, i have all the Double Saber PA's levelled above 30 except Absolute Dance. To be honest Absolute dosen't even warrant my attention, like Ikk Hikk it's only worth doing the first or second part of the PA. Not just because it's too slow but also because the third combo has little to no use. It hits once after doing a rediculously long animation, in comparison to Spiral and Gravity, it fails.

As for Tornado dance, well...It's a situational PA. I only use it on monsters that can't be knocked god knows how many miles around the level.

Absolute Dance is good for boss and multi-box mobs killing. Spiral Dance is good for overall use. Gravity Dance isn't even better than normal hitting.

[Cry0]

Spiral dance is the overall most useful, fast, and most damaging PA, which gives you the least headaches.

Tornado dance you are best off using on un-knockoverable (is that a word?) beasts.
Gravity dance couldn't kill a group of raging babies if they all only had one leg.
If you want to get your ass kicked around, use Absolute dance.

Spiral dance is the way to go.

[HighOctane]

I personally like Gravity Dance. I could hit around 4k's with the last bop and the enemy is usually never out of reach.

Most useful, if you want, but Absolute Dance is twice as powerful as Spiral Dance, if not more...

[Realmz]

Spiral Dance hurts knocks things around

Gravity Dance hurts and only knocks things up on the last hit.

Gravity dance is what i'll be using in groups when i want mobs to stay together

Neither Tornado Dance nor Absolute Dance interest me

So he did. That will teach me not to post while half asleep.

Yeah, you should always go by the maximum amount of damage a PA does instead of how quickly you can kill a couple enemies and get moving again.

Absolute Dance deals more damage per hit than Spiral Dance. This is what Hrith was talking about. Hrith did say that Spiral Dance is more useful.
