What's Better?

[noodles355]

I was planning on too, but depending on how Rheic+1/+2/+3 compare to Ogier's and AF2+2, I might not bother upgrading. And assuming AF2+2 do still beat all of them, I'll still need to know which is best until I upgrade (Missing NQ still).

Quick DPS calcs

Rheic+3 > Ogrie > AF2+2 > Rheic+2 when you need the attack

AF2+2 > Ogrie > Rheic+3 > Rheic+2 when you don't.

Assuming the Increase DA damage on AF2+2 doesn't carry over to WS.

[Ophannus]

Thought you could make 2x od the same weapon now? Could have sworn I saw people with 2x Evasion+3 Kilas or something.

How does Avant +1 stack up?

[Neisan]

I have it coming out abit behind at least Rheic+3/Ogier/Af2+2 even without the increases DA damage.

[Toth]

Dumb question but am I wasting my slots for critical rate bonuses for Shijin Spiral? Should I really be focusing on DEX pieces instead?

[Taim Meich]

Of course you are. Shijin can't crit.

[Toth]

Of course you are. Shijin can't crit.

Ah thought so. Thanks for the clarification.

And if it turns out it does carry over, AF2+2 beats in both situations I assume?
Cheers for that taint, was really helpful.

Guess i'm selling mine as soon as i get my af2

[Aja]

Going to mess around and level my DRG87. Lancer's Vambraces +2 or Hecatomb Mittens +1 with crit. dmg. +4 acc+5? Also, Rancor Collar or Gorget? For Drakesbane.

[Maguile]

Heafoc or Avant +1 for Resolution on Drk?

[Churchill]

Avant +1, I use heca+1/augd out of lazyness and inventory space at the moment

[Taint]

Heafoc or Avant +1 for Resolution on Drk?

Capped ACC Heafoc

Uncapped Avant+1

The math I did is somewhere in this thread but it was like 93.1% Heafoc = Avant+1, above that use Heafoc below use Avant+1

THF TP- Target is DC Dynamis Mobs

Twashh/TF/Raiders/

or

Twash/TF/Raiders

Raiders+2/Raiders+2/Eponas/Rajas
Atheling/Twilight/Raiders+2/Athos

RCB for food, which is the better or is the a better combo to aim for?

[Miraun]

Returning DRG here.

For Jumps: Full Ares, or would a split set nowadays be better?

[Khamsin]

I made Sorcerer's Petasos +2, and then randomly got Rubeus Bandeau when getting my Ocythoe clear + atmacite. So... what's better?

Ele.Skill+12 MAB+5 Enmity-5 or M.Acc+5 MAB+5 M.Crit +5%

Or is it one of those situational things, where I'd use the former with my dINT/skill set on tough NMs, and the latter when my dINT is good and on fodder mobs?

Speaking of which, on what NMs is dINT still a concern? Is it better to focus on dINT/skill in VW, for example? Only way I can tell is just to try nuking in one set then the other.

Neither of those pieces have INT on them, so not sure what you're asking.

Rubeus is obviously better (same MAB and added m.crit) damage wise, but petasos would be more accurate.

If it was me i'd go with petasos.

Following up on this blm conversation, at what point does a mix and match set outweigh the 5/5 eaf+2 when thinking specifically about VW higher tier NMs.

If it matters for arguments sake I use Shrewd and Destruction for atmacites along with MDMG staves.
