What's Better?

[Churchill]

Do we have solid testing yet on each piece of Athos for crit bonus? I was going to go out and do it, but I wanted to wait for 3 pieces so I could test 2 vs 3...and that 3rd one took a minute to acquire.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, +3% for 2/5 and +1% per piece thereafter.

[Churchill]

And body is 5crit damage, legs are 5 crit damage? Or less?

[Nightfyre]

Legs are 4%.

[Soho]

RNG TP:
Sylvan Caban +2 vs Augmented Scout's Jerkin +2

(Apparently Jerkin has +5% Double Shot rate when augmented with Snapshot merits.)

[Khary]

Gonna post my question again. For DRK, is Jingang GS better than Gram GS?

[noodles355]

Dicking about lolMelee Cor: Lux Purgio or Joyeuse? I know even with Joy's OAT, Lux has better DPS, but does that beat the increased WS frequency? Cheers.

[Foldypaws]

If you're not DW, I'm pretty sure Lux is going to win, as evis (exten) kick the shit out of the sword WS available.

If you're talking about DW for offhand, not sure.

[noodles355]

Well I'll be WSing with Last Stand or Wildfire still

Oh. No clue then. I don't have an estimate what the WS/TP split would be in such a situation.

[jimbobsonofgod]

Yeah, +3% for 2/5 and +1% per piece thereafter.

That means that athos set does not follow the pattern of the other 2
Ogiers = 2/3 pieces =1 MP a tic 4/5 pieces = 2 MP a tic
Rubeus = 2/3 pices = 5% FC 4/5 pieces = 10% FC
From my understanding.

Athos maybe 3%crit rate for 2/3 peices and 5% crit rate for 4/5 ?
but 2% crit rate 2/3 and 4% crit rate for 4/5 makes more sense

[noodles355]

Oh. No clue then. I don't have an estimate what the WS/TP split would be in such a situation.

In that case I shall use Lux, parse and report back!

Edit: In dynamis, which involves lots of running around with tacticians, for the brief time I managed to parse, looked like about 20/80 split. Prolly closer to 25/75 if fulltime engaging etc. That was with dagger.

Looking for a good Rudras build for THF. I'm not a THF myself so never paid much attention to the job or it's ws's, no gear is out of reach for what Im looking for though, so even if it means getting augmented Heca+1 that's fine. Mobs will generally be DC mobs in Dynamis.

Here is what I use currently.

Twatter/Appropriate offhand/Raiders/
Ocelo Head/Moepapa/Thunder pearl/Thunder pearl
Loki's/Raiders/rajas/thundersoul
atheling/cuchulains/tumbler/assassin's +2

I'm not sure what besides wotg tp bonus ear, toci/ocelo body or +1 head/body to chase after at the moment to improve further so I'd appreciate suggestions too.

[noodles355]

Would the 7Att of Love Torque beat the 1Dex of Moepeppa? And Brutal over 2nd +3 earring I'm fairly certain. And n.legs. Ahthos Body vs Loki's (& vs Toci's) I'm not sure on.

[Aragon of Odin]

Ok this is what I'm working with now then that I currently have.

Twashtar/TK/Raiders//
Oce +1/Ele Gorget/WotG(TpBonus+Att)/Brutal
Loki's/Raiders/Thunder/Rajas
Atheling/Ele Belt/NQ Heca/Athos

I can get grab a Moepapa, don't have Love Torque, can get a Cuch. Belt as well. Would Aifes Mantle beat Atheling? And are Heca +1 the best legs or something better to aim for? Bodies will just be a matter of when I can get one to drop ; ;

Edit: Also would Epona's > Rajas?

[noodles355]

Sea isn't hard, farm or buy pop items, kill jol>av, take torque, sell AV shit.

[Aragon of Odin]

Oh I know, just don't have one right now, even have plans on doing Sea soon, so will fit right in!

[Maguile]

is the atheling+rancor combo replaced by rancor + ??? for any TP sets? Or just rancor + justiciars for ws's?

[Foldypaws]

In that case I shall use Lux, parse and report back!

Blaah, Tactician's throws off everything. If you have a parse, what was your swings/ws? I need to know how much of the TP came from melee before I know how much the extra tp generation from Joyeuse is worth.
