Notes

Blade Bash can be used with any 2H weapon.
Blade Bash does not generate TP or deal damage.
Plague proc rate is very high on monsters that aren't fire based.
- Plague is -50 TP/tick and -3 MP/tick and lasts about 30 seconds (10 ticks).
Oddly enough, Blade Bash will do similar damage to Weapon Bash when subbing Dark Knight.
