    What's Better?

    Rocl:To avoid the unecessary creation of thousands of simple gear comparison threads, we'll attempt to make this your generic gear question thread. If it doesn't work, I blame Suiram. If it does work, all credit goes to me. So let us begin with the OP's question:

    Blau Dolch or Stylet??

    You realize that's a direct quote from the first post of the original thread, right? Or am I getting whooshed hard?

    DMG7 vs critical hit damage+6% on a yat for dnc brd etc? I'm probably safe assuming that auric still beats any yat out there for now until i finish some higher levels on magian daggers?

    That much crit isn't too bad for off hand I think. Though my viewpoint is that of a THF, so ymmv.
    I'd likely Auric/CritYag myself, especially if the value was higher than 6%. Though I've way too many daggers atm.
    But yeah, a Kila +1 or +2 is better than the raw damage Yat, esp. if you get the STR one.

    #1. I think I know the answer but BLM AF3 pants +1 vs. morrigan? AF3+2 Pants v. Morriga seem a sure win, but I'm not a math guy.

    #2. Also, what's the typical rdm merit job specific choices?

    Thanks for the input.

    group one is normally 5/5 convert, 5/5 ice, tho some people like to take a couple points off of convert and put into either wind or earth.

    group two depends largely on what you do on rdm (solo, party, lowman, etc). it also depends on who else in your linkshell comes to events as rdm the same time you do. i went 2 dia 3(60 second duration), 3/5 slow2, 5/5 para 2, and a rdm i'm typically paired with did 3/5 para 2 and 5/5 slow 2. phalanx 2 doesn't have much of a place anymore since /sch and plds getting it natively. bio3 is nice for outside of abyssea DoT soloing, but with refresh 2, and then all the refresh buffs inside abyssea, soloing has involved more nuking than DoTing (which you should still be doing anyways, but bio 2 is generally fine).

    Rudra sucks without sneak attack.
    Got a dmg+7 crit damage+2 yat now as well so I was wondering how much haste/dw i need before auric is useless.

    If you go through all the trouble of Trial 1-9, you man the fuck up and get Glavoid/Itzpapa/Orthrus.

    Coming from a guy who's using a dominion op dagger, I don't know if I'm to be insulted or happy by that comment. Still stand by 47 > 42

    I don't use Dom Op Yat, Cantih != Khajit.
    I use Auric/STR Kila (Or AGI if I'm eva tanking, or TK, or Sax if I wanna go "lol look I just don't stop swinging") while I work on upgrade items.
    But if a Yat came along with enough +crit and +damage to be the new X's, that'd be a tough choice.

    My goodness. I apologize for starting such a heated up argument over a mule's weapon choices. My mule not having an empy or fake empy while i slowly got it something decent before my trials finished has RUINED CHRISTMAS.
