The layout looks fine to me; especially the chart. Good info. Adam talk 13:30, 24 November 2008 (EST)

I'm not sure what exactly rank 2 does; I haven't played with the numbers enough (nor do I have any intention to) to see if it increases DF or adds some weighting. If you made me guess, I'd say DF, just because that's how I'd do it, but who knows. PFLATS 22:32, 24 November 2008 (EST)

Weapon Bonding Flares and Mstrike

The wiki page for weapon bonding flares mention that things such as MSTRIKE suppress the bonding flares.

I just came back so I'm not sure how to update the wiki. However, it appears that at least with MSTRIKE, some of the weapon bonding flares do activate. On focused and unfocused mstrikes, the Level 5 flare (extra attack) is happening. The below example is during a beserk:

  ... and hit for 50 points of damage!
  Whoosh!  Several ribs driven into lungs.
