celestial>custom bdl weapons?

[gn4wrgnawr]

i was fighting nemesis recently and a couple of my character's customized weapons weren't doing 99,999 dmg even though they still had break damage limit. (f.e. grand slam for wakka, break damage limit, evade and counter, first strike, triple overdrive) i also customized rikku some kaiser knuckles with the same customizations except replacing first strike with magic counter..the custom weapons were only doing about 70k dmg ~ 80k damage, and during the battle i switched wakka, rikku's weapons to there fully powered celestial weapons. they were doing perfect 99k's. both of there attributes are maxed..i just dont understand why the custom weapons dont do as much as the celestial's even though it has BDL..anybody know the problem to this?

Don't all the celestial weapons have armour peircing as standard...or some shit that just makes them generally better? Or am I makign that up...? It makes sense for them to be better anyway, otherwise, what's the point of going through all the rigmorhole of collecting them, iof I could just make Lulus stupid Oniion Knight instead of dodging those damn lightning bolts... also, they affect the aeons aswel. Each weapon corresponds to an aeon making it breka damage....

So they do > created weapons. I refuse to believe otherwise, after the hasle I go through getting the damn things

yeah i just created rikku's kaiser knuckles because the godhand had gillionaire + double ap..which i wanted to replace for the hell of it

the celestial weapons, for the most part do have armor pierce as a standard not shown on the abilities list, which is why they are doing about 20-39k damage more than your personalized weapons.

if you have an ability you dont really need, replace it with piercing, and it should be just the same as your celestial weapons, but a little better since you hand-picked the abilities on it.

Do they all have armour piercing because i remember having auron doing more damage with his celestial weapon than tidus did with his caladbolg and tidus strentgh was much higher and both characters had full health. I always read the celestial weapons have armour piercing but from what ive played some of them dont.

like i said, most of them have armor piercing, from what i know however, Cladbolg doesnt have armor pierce as an ability. the Masamune does have armor piercing. and you dont need any big enemy to find this out, just face an armored enemy in sin, and attack with Caladbolg and the Masamune, with both Auron and Tidus with the same strength and at full power, Auron will do 99,999 and tidus will do somewher in the 60-70k area.

yea because i actually noticed it fighting those the armoured beasts on the mihen highroad, considering the difference in strength at the time between auron and tidus the difference in damage was colossol, so i figured it must be down to the armour piercing ability.

Umm, isn't it because Celestial Weapons have the effect where damage varies depending on the amount of HP your characters have? Like, Masamune does wonders when Auron is near dead and Caladbolg does more damage when Tidus has more health.

The combination of abilities and the character affects a damage booster. "False" Celestial weapons also gain those bonuses, but most can't be made until you already received the original. (You need to get Items from the arena.)

And for the record they do not have armor piercing. This is shown when you compare a custom weapon of Tidus's, which has the top 3 strs and piercing abilities, to his Celestial weapon. the damage is usually in favor of the custom weapon.
