Is Oneiros Dagger any good for THF? compared to STR kila and stuff

[Greatguardian]

How much time would it take to get 18 people all classes leveled and the respective AF3+2? Assume they have 1-3 classes leveled already.

Depends on how efficiently you do it and how long each play session is, assuming literally perfect attendance. If you're talking 1,800 pieces of AF3+2 along with 17-19 classes leveled from 1-95 for 18 people, you're looking at a lot of time. I have no idea how one would go about estimating that, as there are a lot of variables to consider. At least a month or two, no matter how hardcore you roll. It's not like 18 people poopsocking it up 24/7 is even worth it at this point, so more realistically a few months.

[Yukari]

Not to mention that there are many other things that you'd want to have in addition to all jobs levelled and AF3+2s for them.

[Anoat]

How difficult would it be for me to solo the final two ASA fights? (Fomors at FMF, and Shantotos)? I have no relic/mythic/empyrean weapons. Jobs I have available for this at 95 are as follows, ranked in order of best geared: NIN, THF, BLU, SMN, WAR, BLM, DRG, RDM, SAM, DNC. Assume I have collected all of the ??? items to weaken mobs during the fight. And when I say solo, I mean solo, not dualboxing with a WHM mule or something. I would think SMN would be my best bet based on what I've read (heard that BST can solo it easy) but I don't think the avatars would live long enough getting beat on by all the fomors at once?

Nah, STR Kila beats it. It is better than Triplus, however.

[Greatguardian]

I'm fairly sure it's a nice solo knife, as you can just put it on until Haste procs and then swap out after your next WS and use Kilas.

Wouldn't that be Oynos dagger? Not Oneiros, like was asked about.

[Yukari]

Onyos Knife is the haste knife, yes.

Oneiros Knife:
DMG:30 Delay:150 AGI+6 Increases critical hit damage (10%)

I still think Str Kila would be better, given that increase critical hit damage wouldn't transfer over to the main hand. I forgot if any tests were done regarding that though.

[Neisan]

Critical hit damage from anywhere affects physical damage, believe it was tested with War or Rng. I think str kila was better at 90/95 though, haven't checked in awhile.

[Nattack]

can the set bonus from Bale +2 activate on Weaponskills?

Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp. My bad.

[Neisan]

No set bonuses can afaik.

[Nattack]

No set bonuses can afaik.

edit: actually looking at it, its not that bad

[noodles355]

I don't have Heca because essentially this is my first melee which can use. I am willing to put some time. I won't have Twashtar but I am working on WoE dagger. I have Ocelomeh head, some EAF +2, Loki's, Pixie EArring, Dex back it's really neck/waist which is bugging me. I have tumbler pants and lithe boots right now.

Neck: Rancor Collar, Waist: Cuchulain's Belt, both on the AH. Atheling Mantle instead of Nifty if that's the "dex back" you're reffering to. Also think AF3+2 legs beat tumbler.

As said, it's a better offhand than Triplus dagger if you're using that, but it's not better than a Str Kila. That remains true for bother Evisceration spam, and Mercy/Rudra/Mandillic stacking.

[cdgreg]

So I get an e-mail with a GW friend request, it says "To accept this request, log into Guildwork. http://guildwork.com" I log in and just see my dashboard...lsmates said "I think you scroll down." I scrolled down and can't find shit. Also clicked on the Friends link on the left hand column and see 4 current friends, but nothing pending. This is frustrating as fuck, help please.

I WANT FRIENDS

[stewie]

Is Mirke with +4 MAB or Loki's better for WF?

[urat]

Question about WSC I've always been curious about, is there any kind of hard/soft cap for it? Or does the +base damage from mods just keep going up and up and up and up as you pile on the stats?

Also have we figured out the value for α for levels 75~95 yet? Or is it pretty much the same as @75?

[dasva]

Loki's

No cap to wsc. And iirc it's .85 from lvl 80 on up

Onyos Knife is the haste knife, yes.

I still think Str Kila would be better, given that increase critical hit damage wouldn't transfer over to the main hand. I forgot if any tests were done regarding that though.

Use both when solo, if you do it right you can learn how to swap in between daggers between weaponskills when you can lose 20 or so TP and then reverse flouirs and WS right after gear swap. Just macro your Oynos Knife and Auric or Fire Kila for swapping.

Best mainhand daggers for dnc: Twash(95) > Coru > Twash(90) > DA(95) > DA(90) > Harpe

Best Offhand daggers are Auric inside abyssea and Fire Kila outside, unless you actually somehow have Coruscanti AND twashtar, in which case twash main and coru off is potentially best dagger combo in game atm. I think?

Technically speaking though the lv 90 DA para is better than auric offhand in abyssea, but it's by such a substantially small margin it's probably not worth the huge amount of effort for what is pretty much a .1~.2 increase in dps.

I'm not sure if there is a better offhand than auric for outside abyssea if you don't have fire kila though, maybe dex kila...? Though with this new 100% agi mod WS coming out I'd definitely get on making a fire kila asap if you don't have on going yet.

Loki's

No cap to wsc. And iirc it's .85 from lvl 80 on up

Wouldn't that mean it turned around started going back up after lv 75? Since at at 70 its .85 and at 75 its .83, if anything at 99 would't it be in the .8 range? Unless it does curve back up again after 75? O_o;

[dasva]

Yes it did go back up. Think they tested lvl 99 now to still be at .85
