Question about crit dmg SA

My sws was about to turn b grade so after thinking for a bit i decided to get a Demon Sword with crit dmg and safely enchanted it to +3.

however once i turned b grade and i tested it out the damage i was getting on crits didnt add up.

I had a +6 sls before hand and i was critting for about 450ish.

The patck of the DSW and the SLS didnt differ by much only like 5 or 6 i think but when i crit with the DSW i was only hitting for 435 which i thought was really odd seeing as how it was supposed to add 160 patck when critting.

If i subtract the sword mastery bonus which is about 50 patck i should still b critting for more than b4.

Well i was really tired (it was like 2 or 3 am) so i was thinking well mayb crits are calculated differently for daggers so like an idiot i tried to go +4 on it and *poof* it broke lol.

NOTE: i would never have done this if i wasnt dead tired

well determined to make up for my loss i then bought a kris and like a maniac got it to +7 @.@

The funny thing is that when i crit with the kris i get almost the same dmg as with the Demon Sword >.>

actually i crit for a bit more b/c of the few extra patck.

so is the Crit dmg SA bugged for Demon Swords?

was wondering if any one has encountered this problem as well

PS: o and i was wondering how the dmg actually is added up b/c i was thinking about going with a soul seperator with crit dmg when i hit A grade but i dont wanna run into the same problem

the extra 150 'P.atk' is not directly translated to Damage.

The foruma is as always have P.atk *70 / Pdef
and monsters seems to always have around 600 P.def 150 SO in other words 150*70 / 600 = 17,5 more damage per crit. on average.

Crit dmg SA sucks for all classes but daggers, as they got low damage and this P.atk bonus is quite a boost for them but Focus is still better.

I always heard crit dmg SA for sws is a good thing, but Im not sure how good it is. I would prolly go for a focus weapon.

but about your question, the SA isent broken I think. I havent been using a demon sword actualy, but friends are/have, and none has said it is broke :/

If I understand the SA correctly, the 160 p.atk is added after modifiers.

So if your other weapon gives you 50 p.atk more and you don't have DW, the crit modifier being x2, it converts to 100 p.atk.

If you have DW, your sword would do more damage than the crit damage weapon.

Personally I would focus on what SdS is good in: crit rate and go with a focus weapon.
