If I wanted to use this sword am I going to constantly be hit by displacement lag?

If you're talking about the lightning part, it is not using the actual "Thunder" skill. It is its own skill.

Regardless, as far as I'm aware, the displacement lag for the Thunder skill only occurs while rafting, does it not?

It only occurs if your position changes between when it starts raining lightning strikes down and when it finishes, or in other words, during the skill animation phase. The raft just happens to help that happen.

If you do not change where you are relative to the sides of the river during that time, you wont get displaced.

How much damage would that do?

I'd say a portion of your magic attack stat since lighting mastery affects it :x

It's very weak with low or no lightning mastery.

Define weak.

Around 12 damage, I believe.

What about with Rank 1 Lightning M?

I am not sure, but this video shows the damages of 21 and 34. However, we do not know her ranks. She does say, however, that Thunder rank does affect it's damage. Don't be too sure though.

... Wow, that's just disappointing.

30 million Ducats for a sword with frail Lightning damage...

It still has good stats and may be very powerful with good ranks. Especially for those mage-warrior hybrids out there. And remember, you can still dual wield two of them at once.

Dual Wield = 60 Million Ducats.

I think the Tethra or the Tyrfing may be better than this...

Dual Wielding>Two-Handed-Weapon in most situations.

Most is the keyword here.

But I don't think its right to get 60m Ds when I can Dual Venom Swords that only cost 12m Ds. Sure it's weak, but it has Poisoning.

And MOST mobs get poisoned. It doesn't mean all of them get poisoned.

P

With my r1 lightning mastery and thunder, the lightning attack does 500-1000 damage to the hit enemy and 3 others near it.

I'm guessing it's just an instant single charge thunder on the enemy it activates on.

Which isn't affected by lightning bolt to the best of my knowledge. Cause it's simply a single charge of plain thunder. Also the thunder is delayed. Around a second after you hit the enemy it strikes. Leads to amusing situations.

Price and that damage...=_=

I'm still curious about the damage. Is it equivalent to the player's Thunder Rank, multiplied by Lightning Mastery?

Also, what would the damage be if you don't have Thunder?

From what I've been told, it doesn't do a lot.

Pretend you did a single charge of thunder with a plain wand. That's how it would be. Also if you have no thunder, it acts like Novice from what i recall.

Couldn't this potentially ruin chances to assault slash?

probably.

Ah, that's a bit of a shame, but I suppose it wouldn't be too terrible if it's a pretty low chance.

A video in a previous discussion shows that the chance is rather low? but I wasn't exactly looking at it. I don't think it'll do a lot of damage, but at least it'll knock them away further (unless they bounce in place).

Does the lightning attack activate mana deflector? If so then will the monster still be knocked back by the sword hit?

For you're first question, I'm not sure. For your second question, the contact with the sword will not trigger mana deflector but the afterward thunder will. (Assuming the thunder triggers mana deflector rather than heavy stander.)
