What's Better?

[Nattack]

I have nq adaberk with stp +3 and 1 DA, but why would that be better? Wouldn't the 3% DA from Toci win out consider it also has more STR and DEX while not much less attack and accuracy?

And I have heard AF3+2 body is great for when killer effect applies. However, is there a % on how much it boosts the damage? I checked wiki and it seems to imply 25%, which would make it by far the best body, but is that right?

Thank you.

Oh TP body, I must have been retarded for a moment (again). Gausape +2 is most likely your best option. also it's increases damage based on pet hp, directly I believe (so 100% hp is a 100% upgrade). with it you can also fulltime Ferine Ocreae +2, for that delicious double attack (or possibly ferine hands, I think hands would be best but I don't think bst gets a 4haste feet)

WS I think NQ Ada works, Mostly due to BST's terrible lack of any attack. I brought mine out to Voidwatch and did rather poorly with my axes, my pet was my saving grace.

Leonine Mask or Ocelomeh +1 for Blade: Hi? non abyssea, naturally

Having Leonine would bump my critrate to about 17% on gear exclusively...
but I'm losing alot of AGI that way too... granted, I have neither, but I took Dawon down to 30% last night 2boxing before a random Claw Cyclone reset hate and ate my whm :\

or has a better one shown in this update?

Shura head +1 (wsdmg+3%) vs. ocelomah head +1 for shijin?

[Khajit]

I'm semi sure on this but want to check. lv 99 Magian vs supernal vs Lux pugio?

And which one to keep offhanding if I ever got the HQ version of any of those voidwatch daggers? I'm guessing lux but idk how nice supernal's effect could be.

Shura head +1 (wsdmg+3%) vs. ocelomah head +1 for shijin?

Ocelomeh unless you've got >~280 dex before head.

Oce. +1

Shura head +1 (wsdmg+3%) vs. ocelomah head +1 for shijin?

Oce. +1 again if just 3% WSD on the Shura +1, but it can also be augmented with DEX and attack.

hi i just got borealis and is doing some testing on the "occ deals severe damage on WS"

however cos im in hospital for now, i only did 30 WS on rabbit in ronfare.... and came out with 5/30 procs, with average non proc WS (spinning slash) averaging 1361 for 25 WS and proc average 2232 for 5 WS

for now, with the small sample size, is this sword potentially better than ragnarok (L95) for resolution?

and anyways if i were to test if the proc works on multi hit, how should i go about testing it?

im considering between ragnarok or mandau for now.... so math's genius i need ur help...

Looking for links to good/better/best WAR pdt/mdt sets?

thanks in advance!

[Quinildorf]

Mekira set vs Zelus / Imperial body +2for PLD tanking

[Gun-it]

What? lol

[Nattack]

Oce. +1

wut really?
that was a little unexpected actually, why?

Here I thought 3 critrate 3 str 3 agi would (eventually) outdo 13 dex 13 agi.

Guess I need 9 mil :I

edit: wrong numbers

I believe it depends on how much DEX you have and how close you are to capping dDEX.

If you already have about +30-37 DEX over the mobs AGI, then hitting the dDEX cap would give a higher Crit+% rate then Leonine will give. I don't do VW so I don't know if capping dDEX is even viable on those mobs. If so then yeah, Ocelomeh +1 should win it. If dDEX is already capped, then Leonine will give you that 3% crit rate on top of the 15% capped dDEX crit rate, that you want to fend off those really annoying non crit Hi's.

I'd want it for the 2hp/tick regen anyway. And to look like a native American.

Posted this in RQT but I think this is a better place for it. Any use for Lux pugio for dnc n thf? Currently using Twashtar90/str kila +4. Thanks!

I believe it depends on how much DEX you have and how close you are to capping dDEX.

It doesn't actually, Leonine is very overrated.

1.5 attack 3 crit vs 4.35 base damage, minimum baseline of 35% critrate with decent gear and likely closer to 45%+ with dDEX, augmented Suiryu's, Moonshade, and overflow, nevermind if you have Innin up... Critdmg should be 9% minimum, potentially 14% with Athos Tabard. Even a very rough comparison of (1+0.38*1.09)/(1+0.35*1.09)=2.366992% in a very low pDIF situation (benefitting Leonine's critrate by using low critrate and low pDIF) and noting that Hi base D with Leonine is near to ~125-130 will show that the base damage increase of 4.35/130=3.34615385% puts Ocelomeh +1 ahead even if you're assuming that you're somehow at floored dDEX and not benefitting from Ocelomeh's DEX at all. In the more likely even that you gain 1% critrate or more and/or have higher base critrate/pDIF it'll be further ahead.

Mars's Ring vs Pyrosoul Ring for WAR on TP phase? Currently I'm using Ulthalam's along with Rajas, and don't need any extra haste or sTP.

And as a bonus question... is 2M a reasonable price for it?

[Atoreis]

What are good duos for Dynamis farm at DC mobs?

main: BLU DRK(apoc) MNK WAR DNC
mule: THF and I can make w/e would be better for this WHM DNC(tho I would like to not use 2x dnc option because thats a lot of tabing) RDM or BRD

BLU/nin and thf/dnc?
DRK/dnc and BRD/thf?
MNK/dnc and healer/thf?
DNC/war and brd/thf?

Something else?

I don't see Mar's rings for less than 1.9m on my server, if you need Acc use that, otherwise I would use either Tyrant's/Pyrosoul. Keen/Excelcis if you want to be cheap, still better than Ulth Imo.
