What's Better?

[Dotsudoku]

I'd imagine you'd want to use,

X/X/Raider's/X
AF3+2/Rancor/Brutal/Suppa
Thaumas/Thaumas/Epona/Rajas
Atheling/Twilight/Thaumas/AF2+2

[Kaope]

Rheic Korazin +3 VS other bodies for apoc drk?

(That is, until I get myself Phorcys Korazin of course)

[Taint]

Rheic Korazin +3 VS other bodies for apoc drk?

(That is, until I get myself Phorcys Korazin of course)

For WS yeah. For TP no.

[Kaope]

For WS yeah. For TP no.

Does that include Entropy?

[Aliekber]

Worth making a Masa if you're only ever going to bother taking it to 90? Or stick with TP Bonus Kantonotachi? (I have made neither, just finished SAM to 99 yesterday)

Nvm, found answer earlier in thread. Masa it is.

[Ophannus]

Best Atma for DD thief?

Thinking RR/SS/Apoc but someone said Gnarled Horn...I dunno, been seeing some lovely 7k+ Eviscerations with SS.

[Bigsyke]

Does that include Entropy?

7% WS DMG is just too broken.

[Nightfyre]

5% WSDMG on Rheic +3, but yeah. WS base damage would have to be unrealistically low for Twilight to be competitive even if the STR and attack are irrelevant, and if the STR/attack are relevant then Rheic+3 obviously outstrips any non-Phorcys option. Hitrate may potentially create exceptions in certain situations but I haven't looked at accuracy/damage trading efficiency for Entropy at all.

Ok, so I think I saw this asked a couple times but I never saw an answer and I'm interested myself:

How does Borealis compare to OAT99 for Resolution spam on DRK?

[Khamsin]

This is kind of a "random question", but it fits more with the "what's better" theme. Is there a way to eyeball whether your attack is capped or not? Say you're out fighting stuff, and you don't have a parser loaded, can you tell whether or not more attack will help your damage output or not? By eyeballing, not wearing different gear and parsing your averages. Any telltale signs?

Not a super specific question, so bear with me: War main with Bravura

Have a choice between getting Phorcys Hands or Head (I have legs and body).

Hands would be the best piece for both Upheaval and MT (looks like with set bonus and extra 4 str, vit and 2 DA over War Muf +2 )

Head would allow me use Phasmida Belt instead of Goading. No change in haste but net 17 Acc and 10 Attack in my TP set. Also give me some flexibility over which body to use, because i have been using Mekira head and body for set bonus as well as maintaining my dt build.

Frankly not 100% sure i want to deviate from the Mekira set anyways because its already part of my regular DT sets (aftermath up and not) and even if i pick up say 30 attack in my TP set not going to be a huge difference.

Anyways its pretty close either way just wanted to get some thoughts.

Phorcys head so you can rock the Bravura 5 hit.

The answer is get both.....if you can get one piece of Phorcys you can get them all....

I read up on Meteor a little and I came across this: 24 elemental skill = 4 int = 3 mab.

Does that mean the int/mab magian staff is better than the dorje? Basically comes down to 11int vs 7mab.

Dorje is 25 MAB, so the comparison would be 11 INT vs 12 MAB if I'm not mistaken.

It's difficult to eyeball this, but you can tell if your attack is "low-medium". Pdif has a smaller range when it's high than when it's medium, so if your damage seems wildly inconsistent, you could definitely benefit from adding more attack. Low attack is pretty obvious for the same reasons, though with lower damage.

You could compare your highest regular hit with your highest crit.

Maybe

I think

[Landsoul]

Ocelomeh headpiece +1 or aug head for Jishnu's radiance?

[gnat]

Best dagger combo(s) (non empy/relic) for THF?

[Byrthnoth]

Aluh Jambiyah and STR Magian would probably be your best bet until people find Pugiunculus.
