What's Better?

[Kyte]

Sorry to repeat my question before but DEX rings or Epona for SP and SS? Also, is a dex earring going to make any noticeable improvement to justify the price?

Epona's for ring, not really on the earring.

For Apocalypse TP set with aftermath. I currently don't have Armada hauberk (got the abjuration, but can't justify the cost with how the new Legion gear is looking), and the only sTP body that I have is Aurum cuirass.

- Would using rose strap, hagneia stone, Brutal, Aurum cuirass, tyrant's, rajas, goading and ace's for 5-hit be a good choice or should I stick to 6-hit? Assuming bale head/legs too unless there are better options (My only other body options are NQ Shadow Breatsplate with TA+1 and 6 Acc and Bale +2) And if it isn't, shall I stick to 6-hitting /WAR in the mean time?

- If I ever end up with a pair of ogier's gauntlets, would using those along with rose strap/brutal/tyrant's/rajas/goading/ace's be a better 5-hit (using bomb core for ammo) or are there better options?

- Should I put on a normal 6-hit set before aftermath is up?

- With regards to neck/back slot, am I right in assuming that rancor doesn't have a place for DRK?

- if I end up using the aurum set, which would be better: avant+1 hands and calmecac trousers or use bale in both slots? (how large is the set proc rate?)

Looking for a new medium term goal; rarely play thief anymore; but how does Mandau stack up to the Emp? Did the poison proc tier up in damage with the 85/90/etc upgrades?

I swapped over to Ogier's Breeches awhile back in place of Unkai +2 for Fudo, mainly /DNC. How does that fare?

Edit: Was using Usu legs but which is best.

Ogier's are better for Fudo.

I still use Unkai+2 for my xhit, but I might change to Ogier's/Satome, I haven't played much SAM recently unfortunately.

Whats the best ws to use for brewing apademak on lolwar? I'm guessing sanguine blade?

[dasva]

I think cataclysm would be slightly better if geared and atma'd for properly

Sub NIN and use Blade: To!

[Darkmagi]

Blade: to has sucked in my experience. Won't do reliable damage without force crit, more likely better off doing sanguine blade.

Cool, thanks. Yeah I only get a base 16 TP off Fudo as it stands but its pretty much resigned to a 300 TP WS when needed now, so not a huge concern I guess.

Artful Belt +1 or Pipilaka Belt for Shijin Spiral? 10 Dex vs 6 Str 6 Dex

[grevenilvec75]

I have a VIT g.axe for upheaval, but STR g.axe would be better all around right?


What about double attack g.axe?

Artful +1 should win if I remember right.

What about double attack g.axe?

At same level I have Str beating DA, this is for level 90 versions. It's pretty negligible on weaker monsters but it pulls ahead on stronger targets.

Str is coming out better than Vit no matter the enemy, although on weaker targets where you'll be capping attack the difference is smaller.

What are the Strongest weapons at 99 for each category?

[Atoreis]

What are the Strongest weapons at 99 for each category?

Its situational. More detailed question please.

[Strawhat]

Its situational. More detailed question please.

In what situation would each of the 99 Relic/Mythic/Empyrean weapon excel over others?

[danthebk]

You don't seem to understand what he means by "more detailed question please".

[Howie Roary]

I think he means in a situation where you want to do damage to a target with a weapon in a category
