What's Better?

[Arthars]

entrophy then!!!

[Darkmagi]

For Tachi: Shoha primarily in voidwatch: Masamune 90 using AM3 and then spamming Shoha, or TP bonus magian GK spamming shoha?

Sadly TPbonus. With COR rolls and atmacite there isn't much in terms of White damage for DDs.

Without a COR, I'd use Masamune.

Whats better for CDC
Athos's hands and feet or another hand/feet combo?

How much of an increase is tp bonus GK over masamune? I'm just not going to bother if it's something minor, but I'll make one if it's a major damage increase.

At 100tp its 15% better w/ moonshade.

As TP scales (sekka,haga,tpwing etc) Masa gets closer and over ~220 tp Masa starts to pull ahead.

I'll probably just stick to masamune then, will end up being better when content sways away from voidwatch and has no atmacites/meds.

rancor collar or love torque for rudra's?

Rudra can't naturally crit, so the answer is no brainer.

I just got 85 Twashtar last night. Generally Rudra's isn't very good without forcing it to crit with Climactic Flourish or SATA. When using it with a forced crit, is Rancor's the way to go or still Love.

I am currently using Justiciar's Torque for +Str and +15 atk.

[Darkmagi]

Rancor collar is doing nothing for you if you are forcing a crit.

Rancor collar is doing nothing for you if you are forcing a crit.

I get it, I thought the collar was +crit damage, not just +crit rate. Justiciar all the way then!

What tp:ws split are you assuming for SAM?

With march x2, miser's and chaos, my tp:ws split on WAR is 30:70, and that's with me spamming as fast I possibly can once 100% TP. idk if it'd be drastically different on SAM with the same buffs, but melee damage can still be substantial in VW.

[Drai]

i'm trying to max my Exenterator damage on DNC currently my WS gear looks like

Angra Harp Oynos Knife - Charis Feather

Ocelomeh Headpiece Peacock Charm Suppa Brutal

Loki's Charis bangles +1 Iota Ring Stormsoul

Atheling Mantle Anguinus Belt Kacura Subligar +1 Eurus' Ledelsens

what other than the obvious would make it do more consistant damage to higher defense mobs like Qilin etc?

I was planning to replace Iota with another stormsoul, upgrade head to +1, +2 hands etc, but as for things like the belt, neck, back and whatnot, does it make sense to get something like Aife's mantle for it? or do I benefit more from having the attack and double attack from the mantle? I just don't want to sacrifice accuracy and attack for the sake of AGI if it won't make the damage better overall, also earrings I have no idea what to keep/replace, 2x Auster's earrings? keep the Brutal? I have no idea lol

[Byrthnoth]

Peacock Charm -> Justiciar's Torque
Suppa -> Aesir Ear Pendant or and Auster's just to avoid the TP loss
Loki's is fine until you can get Athos's Tabard
Bangles +1 can obviously be +2'd
A second Stormsoul is going to outperform iota
Anguinus Belt and Cuchu are probably fine
Kacura +1 is okay, but Ambuser's Hose are better and free
Get Athos's Boots when you can

[blue]

For drk, mainly VW Gram or Jingang Greatsword? Jingang can 5hit with some sacrifices. Gram has lower delay and higher damage though. Got Resolution.

Just to toss it out there, might be worth looking into a TP Bonus Greatsword or even the OA2 Greatsword.

So are Elemental Belts/Gorgets not good for Exenterator?

[shen]

Nah, you'd get more out of other things. Justiciar's is best, unless you're capping PDIF an AGI+6 neckpiece (Arctier's Torque, Moepapa Medal, Huoyi's Gorget) will outperform it. I'm pretty sure Crudelis outperforms Anguinus (and Cuchulian) as well unless accuracy is uncapped. Drone Earring is cheap and good too if you can't get an Auster's Pearl (they're never in stock and only 1 AGI less).

Now that DRKs have a decent WS in Resolution, I was wondering if there were better options for a 3rd atma than Razed Ruins. I currently use VV, Razed Ruins, and Apoc, and was wondering if it might be better to use Alpha and Omega (10% TA and 50 attack), or Griffon's Claw (10 great sword skill and WS damage +20%) instead of Razed Ruins, in the case of capped accuracy.

I'm aware Razed Ruins is still probably better, but wanted to hear a few opinions.

This, especially in the case of Caladbolg users. Currently setting up gear for Resolution and now asking, what are the best Atma builds are for both Empyrean & Non-Empyrean Weapons on DRK?

[Skeelo]

Nothing will ever replace Razed Ruins. Increases Dot by way to much.

RR/Apoc/A&0 or RR/Apoc/VV seem like best atmas imo for drk with Resolution.

[Fenrey Varn]

RR/Apoc/A&O it is!

I'll have to play around with RR/Apoc/VV as well...1/5 Reso doing 1.4K's at inside aby atm. haven't had the opportunity to test outside aby yet, but I like the numbers i'm seeing from other users.
