- +16 Trans10 Skiaclipse Varna Two-Handed Sword = 12,124 ~ 17,166 ATK
- +11 Trans10 Skiaclipse Varna Trinket = 1,783 ~ 1,783 ATK
Total ATK = 13907 ~ 18949 (16428 AVG)
- +16 Trans10 Skiaclipse Varna Pistol = 11,852 ~ 13,558 ATK
- +11 Trans10 Skiaclipse Varna One-Handed Sword = 11,584 ~ 12,224 ATK ~25% = ~2976 ATK
Total ATK = 14828 ~ 16534 (15681 AVG)
Oh you think that’s a small difference? Hold on Barbarian art exists
Total ATK without Barbarian = 13907 ~ 18949
Barbarian Arts = 50% MIN Damage Correction
Total ATK with Barbarian = 16428 ~ 18949 (17688.5 AVG)
At this point, you may ask, why fuss about 2k ATK difference isn’t that small? Hold my bear and ill tell you the exact reason why.

Here is a representation of the core formula on how Defense-Damage interaction works in Tree of Savior.
On a 26000 Defense target, although with just a 12.8% increment of ATK, resulted in 22.7% increased in final damage. Not to mention, if you take sometime into the graph, and raise the DEF values, you will only see the gap between this 2 value widen and worsen. Adding insult to injury, Blossom Bladder itself already has a skill kit that is ridiculously mind boggling (looks at Start Up) that for even worsts, adds 100% Critical Final Damage modifier.
You may ask, Cannon also have higher attack, why it isn’t as strong as you see? Few points, Cannon have a worst MIN-MAX damage range. Yes it might have ignore defense, but oh dear you forgotten again (looks at Barbarian skill, War Cry), another 10% Ignore defense that would even worsen the already bad numbers in the defense formula we sees above. Also, tenth-thousands percent skills are almost a norm in a dop-barb-bb build.
It isn’t a coincidence. It’s just how well and too much synergy going on to the classes, adding salt on top of another salt pile. I don’t see any reason why a particular class path can be as this much of power.
TL;DR
Two-handed Sword is a mistek
Trinket is a mistek
Barb is a mistek
2h Blossom Bladder is a mistek
IMC’s FORMULA IS THE MISTEK
