What's Better?

[jPuff]

For an MDT set:

Twilight Torque (DT-5%) vs. Inquisitor Bead Necklace (MDB+8)?

[Sechs]

Unless I'm missing something (which is likely!) MDB is a completely different thing from MDT, which has to stay under the max 50% MDT cap (except Aegis).
Given this I suppose that if you can still reach 50% MDT (5/5ShellraV+ShelteredRing!) without using Twilight Torque, then Inquisitor Bead Necklace will provide an additional defense bonus.
If you can't reach that cap otherwise, then Twilight Torque will probably still be better in most situations.

Quick question for my fellow CORs:

I recently took back up my COR/WAR to delve and am having a blast TPing and then using QD + WF. While my WFs are a very consistent 1900+ (remember, /WAR for Zerked sword damage), I was wondering if I should think about changing to another gun and better bullets for LS. Should I stay the course with my current weapons (lvl 90 coin weapon) or save up for a delve gun?

If you're going for sword dmg, /DNC and DW 2 delve weapon probably do more. You also get a full time acc bonus(instead of aggressor with down time), and haste samba, and sometimes you can toss a healing waltz on pt member if they need it. You can also TP in new DW head with it as long as you can cap haste/acc on other slot.

As for LS, I rarely use it. In facture it's not worth the cost when DDs often run out of mobs. On NM everyone been saying it's hard to land without prelude(and if you get prelude that's less attack for you) so I don't bother to try.

[Taint]

With Murasamemaru;
Any point in TPing in Unkai Domaru +2 over DA+3% or more options (acc capped + 6 hitting both options)?

10% Zanshin bonus.

COR/DNC is great fun in delve. Keeping haste samba up for your party is nice and boxstep can be helpful plus erase and cures. If I know I'm pulling I tend to /rdm... not a lot of time to get haste samba on the mob when you're constantly on the run.

To follow up to my last post about Thf because it was kind of long:

Uncapped Acc: Rajas (4.7TP/Hit) or Mars's (4.5TP/Hit)
Capped Acc: Rancor or Asperity?
Capped Acc: TA+3 DA+2 Haste+0.6% (4.7TP/Hit) or Att+10 Crit+3 DW+5 STP+9 (5.1TP/Hit) (Af3/2 Head/Hands + Twilight vs Skadi+1 Head/Hands + Patentia)

I'm assuming AF3/Twilight combo wins for uncapped acc because it has +28 Acc. I'm assuming Rajas also beats Mars's in Skadi/Patentia set because the STP pushes you over 5TP/hit.

Base Multiattack rates are 19%/9% DA 16% TA 4% QA depending on SJ. Base 32% DW.
Uncapped acc comparisons assumes Haste. Capped acc comparison assumes Haste and 2x +4 Marches.

I feel really dumb for not thinking about that setup and skill set. Well, now I shall dance, dance, DANCE!

[StatikGP]

Aphotik Kukri Attack path.. Atk 15, acc 10, str 10.
Or
Accuracy path. 15acc 10atk 10dex

for THF/DNC i'm thinking thf can use all the atk they can get since they are low dmg as is. but alot of delve materials has high eva.

Trying to suggest some stuff for my friend's BST.

Current set is:
Astolfo (pdt)
Ganelon OA2-4

Anwig Salad
Ferine
Brutal
Suppa
Ferine +2
Ferine +2
Rajas
Epona's
Atheling
Twilight

Pretty standard abyssea setup for pet: -pdt

Looking to move him into:
Brethren

Suppa
Skadi +1

Any suggestions for easy improvements that don't require legion?

I wouldn't waste gil on fully upgrading it on any path. Unless you're happy to bust out 38-39M on a weapon that'll likely be outdated in the next update or two. Tbh that can probably be said for most of the T4-5 delve weapons.

To be honest, I'd probably suggest the evasion path. Things in Adoulin are more accurate than what you've been used to. Especially in Delve, and whilst pure DD weapons are often replaced pretty quick, situational weapons tend to stay relevant for longer.

Edit: Also, why would you be /dnc? You don't solo delve. If you're pure DDing you should be /war, and if you're just pulloing for the group you'd want /nin (and your damage wont matter anyway).

Pretty sure DA beats OA2-4 axe. Not sure how new gear compares but not sure I'd recommend 2 lvl 15 armors over legion.... pretty sure you could buy C.Abjuration: Ft from an ls and Hexed Gambieras for less

[Seol]

So I have RNG with Anni, but also play MNK/THF/BLU(pretty much all Manibhozo jobs), so for Mani-legs, is Type:A a good choice for all? I know Type:C would be ideal for RNG, but then they'd be a meh piece for all the other melee. My question boils down to pretty much this: +22STR/12 DEX vs 12DEX/12STR/10AGI +10rattk for RNG? Mostly for coronach, I think I could get away with Nhatirah legs for LS eventually. Can someone guide me or prevent me from doing a lolpiece out of this legs?!

[dasva]

The 2 options would be pretty dang close for coro assuming uncapped fstr2 and yeah Nahtirah trousers are pretty good too. I'd do first since it would help more jobs more probably.

I'll look into Hexed but as for the 2-4 axe...well, he made that on his own.
I could have him make a DA axe, but given that they are very unlikely to be upgraded probably better for him to get the bretheren axe and then the boss axe eventually, and just dual wield those.

[Modoru]

hmm, what are the pieces I should be getting in terms of Manibozho and Mikinaak?

(for SAM and THF/NIN respectively)

In other words, what is a considerable upgrade now, for those jobs, and for what phases (TP/WS)?

Thank you very much~

[noodles355]

Thf: Head for Evasion. Legs for Mercy/Rudras/Evis and TP. Feet for TP. Body will be a great WS piece with max augments. Whether you want to drop 25-30mil's worth of airlixirs on something that could be outdated next update is up to you. The other manibozho pieces I listed are great in those roles even from just the 1st or 2nd Augment.

[grevenilvec75]

Since we're playing this game: Which pieces of mikinaak should I get for WAR? (assuming very good upheaval build with bravura(no legion abjs though))

[Taint]

Mikinaak Legs are a must for every job that can use them. (STR path)

Mikinaak feet for DRK xhit builds. (Dex Path)

Mikinaak body for WS builds (esp when you need the ACC over Phorcys) (STR path)

[Dotsudoku]

Replace the Bravura first; the REM update isn't likely to debut anytime soon

[grevenilvec75]

Nah I've got WAR on hold until it hits, not gonna waste my time on a delve g.axe when I play SCH 99% of the time anyway.

Mikinaak feet for DRK xhit builds. (Dex Path)

Mikinaak body for WS builds (esp when you need the ACC over Phorcys) (STR path)

Probably should've added the stipulation that i didnt want to pump millions of gil into airlixis. legs better than karieyh at low ranks?

body better than 3TA valk? At low ranks wouldn't twilight be better/almost the same?
