What's Better?

[Mercilessturtle]

Just from a short and sketchy (parsing not counting, 400 attack rounds) test right now, I am seeing 4-5% for VV.

[EjinCaitsith]

I tested VV a while back, and got around ~5% DA rate after ~1000 attack rounds. http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/100...=1#post4236498
A few people had mentioned 10% seemed wrong, and JP Wiki has it at 5% too.

Ah, thanks. Does that mean Harvester is 5% too? Or the Major is just a typo on VV now?

Not a clue to be honest. But I always felt like 5% was too small for DA: Major

For blade: jin, cavaros mantle + qirmiz tathlum + breeze gorget, or forager's mantle + iga neck + tathlum?

edit: assuming loki's kaftan as body and razed ruin as only crit dmg atma.

[Talli]

Couldnt see anything on search.. so

Rudra's Storm or Evisceration. im knocking out 3-5k Evis on normal abyssea mobs. 2-3k on most of the NMs. currently 13/30 on the coins for Daka, anyone have any numbers.. really dont fancy more WoE only to be disapointed when i get it.

Loki's Kaftan (5%) + Qirmiz tathlum (5%) + kamome (10%) + RR (30%) = 50% increase to crit damage. 50% increase in crit damage is the cap so adding more crit damage gear will not give you any benefit. So basically you wont use cavaros or iga neck for WS provided that you have those three pieces.

If you dont have a kamome (and I dont really see why you wouldn't as its very easy to get) then go with option 1 of what you said.

I have Kamome, but I had also heard that tathlum was only 3%, if it's not then that's pretty good news.

[Castellano]

afaik its 5, someone correct me if im wrong plz

[chazzyphizzle]

i've also heard tathlum was 2-3%, like cavaros mantle

What would be the best RDM T1 and T2 merit setup? Will likely use rdm for lowman and soloing the most.

Thank you.

Edit: Sorry if this should be in the random question thread...

[Shalafi]

Portent Pants or MND pants for enfeebling?

[Hyriu]

Portent Pants or MND pants for enfeebling?

Really depends on the mob. Only shit that resisted me lately was Rani/Raja(I think, not even sure), Bennu, Resheph. Don't know about Amphitrite since I NIN'd it. and they all only resisted my paras.

[TacoTaru]

Potentia cape or Eloquence Cape/+1 for Sanguine Blade?

For group2 I'm @

4 slow
3 para
3 phalanx2

[Kuishen]

For THF, assume 26% haste and 40% (if w/ Auric, 35% w/o) DW: Twlight/Triplus, Twilight/Auric, Auric/Triplus or some other combo I'm not aware of?

[Shalafi]

Shaolin belt or Cirque sash?

[Obsidian]

Drop the Shaolin belt and get your inventory space back.

[Yugl]

Potentia cape or Eloquence Cape/+1 for Sanguine Blade?

Eloquence Cape+1. However, Hecates should beat both if using DD atmas (VV/RR/Minkins).

It's likely that Evis will win when Sneak/Trick attack isn't up. The other benefit of the dagger aside from a WS that is comparable to Evis with SA/TA, is the damage your getting. 47D Dagger is really impressive and you'll see more gains on your Evisc than before.

[Villian]

Atheling Mantle vs Cavaros Mantle on war with axe/axe @ cap haste, 41%DA, and @ 45% crit damage increase with jobtrait/AF3feet/RR atma.
