Ohshi- I just double attacked my double attack!

A recent thread on BG has revealed to me that a few people are dead sure that you can double attack twice on a weaponskill and are spreading it around as if it's fact.

This irks me because I've seen no mention of double attack firing twice in any instance except for jailer weapons + trait, however it's long been established that jailer weapons cannot double attack on weaponskills and neither have I seen any evidence to suggest that it's possible to double attack twice during a weapon skill (not including dual-wielding and MNKs, I'm not totally sure if they can DA once per hand in a WS, like normal combat rounds or not).

I can imagine some people have seen strange TP returns and got the wrong idea, for example my Penta thrust returns 19 TP in the log after 5 hits, and 21 after 6 hits (1 double attack). This would give the impression of a 7-hit WS, as 15+1+1+1+1+1+1=21 (7 hits), however the actual decimal returns are 15.5+1.1+1.1+1.1+1.1+1.1=21 (6 hits).

I'm still inclined to believe you can only double attack once per attack round (per hand? I can't speak for certain about dual-wielders, less experience here) and this applies to weaponskills as well, obviously not on asuran fists as the 8-hit cap applies here, but is irrelevant to the point I'm disputing. I would like to see some testing to support that claim if people are going to continue stating it.



At any rate.....


ACP 7 finally put out something useable. Not what I wanted (accuracy cape wru? ;-;), so I'm going to keep spamming it. Extra 300k from selling my Penitent's rope and though a loss of -3 enmity for 12 MP isn't a the best tradeoff, I like gil. It also goes with the prism cape icon better.
