What's Better?

[noodles355]

Probably a dumb question (but it's me, so you're used to that), but why do people always talk about warcry or blood rage when talking about total DPS over a period of time? The two buffs don't share a timer, you can use both (just not at the same time). 1 Minute of BR and 50 seconds of WC per WAR in the party.

[Yugl]

Depending on the number of WAR you have within the PT, you need to determine which will take priority for the cycle. Furthermore, if you're not aiming for critical hit rate, having "negative" critical hit rate won't affect your damage, so using blood rage may not be worth the minor delay anyways.

So what is the current best legs for Metatron?

Avant+1, or ogier or af3+2

Also what is current best body for war tp (excluding valk)

I assumed it would be armada. But would phorcys body win for aggressor up sets? (Assume 3/5 phorcys)

Is it valk > armada > phorcys (maybe even af3+2?)

Assume i can make up the stp else where.

[machiko]

Probably not the right thread but kind of fits.

I recently quit Gw2 and want to come back to FFXI, which servers have the biggest english speaking communities? I tried looking at XIAH but they only show total player numbers and I know most of those are filled with JP players.

I wouldn't consider Phorcys a TP piece at all. No DA,TA,QA,no STP, no ACC.

best WS feet for drg? where do augmented heca/heca+1 fall?

[Jem]

Not a DRG but I'd guess they are the best (assuming +4 STR Augment) unless you are the luckiest fucker alive and have Huginn Gambieras.

Gigantes are going to be up there if you don't have +11 STR Heca +1 for Stardiver.

[Ophannus]

Heca are unfortunaelty the best feet for DRG right now outside of Huginn. Try to get the HQ with STR+4 Polearm+4 Attack+6 augments(Best I was able to make was STR+4 Scythe+3 Attack+6). Second would probably be a STR+3 Attack+5 augmented Heca Feet and third best would probably be Wyrm Greaves+2 which are STR+7 Attack+7 which isn't too shabby plus you use them anyway for Healing/Smiting Breath/Steady Wing and Spirit Link.

Spharai 99 or Verethragna 95?

[pchan]

spharai and shijin

[Guitarman]

Fairly certain Vere wins out by a big margin.

[Taim Meich]

You are severely underestimating Shijin, then. I'm not going to say that Spharai is clearly better, but saying Vere wins by a big margin is a very bold statement.

[pchan]

Fairly certain Vere wins out by a big margin.

TP gear is the same for both. Shijin surclasses VS outside of impetus but vere can't use it or they would lose their aftermath. Basically with good gear

: Vere is 2.3% better than spharai during impetus.(typical buffs and mobs)
: Spharai is 5% better than vere outside of impetus.

Spharai has the advantage of not relying on AM1 to be up (spaced fights etc) while vere has an advantage on zergs (AM3 up : 1.8% better outside of impetus and 5.6% better during impetus).

Ok so I got ogier gauntlet last night. I was going to redo my restraint down tp set. So with bravura can I tp in 55 stp and only WS in 25 stp and maintain 5 hit with MT? I know I am fine when I upheaval.

Also what is the current top WS leg pieces for MT, I assume ogier and avant+1 but which is better. Side note inv +1 would be nice as I use ogier for DT set

Thanks

I have a 5 hit setup for bravura too, but its kind of useless if you want to ride the aftermath of metatron torment or want to use metatron torment to maintain the 5 hit TP build (you need to get back 20TP from metatron too if you want to have a true 5 hit build). You loose so much out on metatron torment dmg if you have to WS in Store TP gear. Upheaval is another story. However if you happen to ride on 25 Save TP you can spam the hell out of metatron torment.

[Taint]

Did I miss the math that made a 5hit WAR > 6hit? Especially if you use Ogier hands your build changes a lot with restraint up.

Last I heard Ogier hands should remain in storage.

never said it was better then anything oO just gave him an answer to his question if you can maintain a true-5hit with metatron torment

Yeah was more geared towards him. I've seen one Ogier hand build that made sense and that was a low buff Rag DRK build with exceptional other pieces of gear.
