    G16

    -Better dmg / refine rate
    -40 attack levels = something like +25% - 30% dmg output depending on what attack levels you already have.

    vs

    GOF = 20% chance for double dmg = +20% dmg output.
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    Is GOF really only 10%? That's surprising...

    I'd recommend you go with G16, and if you could, get dual blades/swords. Given that those have higher Base damage than even r9rr sword (as I am saying Base, not counting attack levels / gof /etc) and added together with the 40 attack levels and higher refine, you'll deal much more damage with those than a r8r sword.

    Oh that makes a lot more sense then, if I was going to compare my r9 sword with another sword I use (which has a 10% proc rate) I could swear one of them was broken or something :D.

    This for a bm or seeker? Because if you cant get purge on a r8r sword I think its pretty obvious g16 is superior

    I used G16 until I made my r9rr sword and just bypassed the r8 sword altogether

    GoFis about25-30% dps. SS is 16-20% respectively.
    And 40 atk lvs is about 35% dps if you dont have anywhere near 120 atk lvs already.

    G16 and g15 GoF have similar damage dps, the difference is the consistency. Also g16 refines higher, so unless you plan on pvping, the g15 w/ gof is outdated. Please note i speak from a sin perspective, and this may or may not apply the same to seekers since my seekers have never had a GoF wep.
