What's Better?

[dasva]

oh, right, 300M gil worth of airlixrs and a megaboss drop, that's how you do it. /eyeroll

Maybe I should make an ochain so i can afford all this shit.

How is 2 rank 15s 300mil? That's like 250k an airlixer lol. Regardess if you take his build but only go for enough ranks to get to the 92 assuming the previous sets math is right you could do it only rank 1ing the 2 bokwus

[grevenilvec75]

Yeah i did the math wrong, is 30M (forgot to divide the RP by 10 to get the number of airlixir's doh!) (600 airlixirs * 50k each = 30M) besides that, rank 1 bokwus slops are inferior to other options (although if you have akasha chaps (unlike me) you'd end up with similar MAB anyway).

[noodles355]

92 MAB was a non-weather, non-klima, non-ebbull set. Because I wasn't sure how to calculate them.
Weather+Klima would lose 16 mab. Ebullience would lose a further 5.

So someone said redo calulation with 25% multiplier instead of 25% for weather up. 176*0.25 = 44 MAB. Less with ebullience. So looks like Staff (Rank 1 being 58 MAB and 10 INT vs Chat's 5 INT) will always beat it for nukes.

Even using that 107 mab set from the previous page, Soothsayer always wins for nukes on SCH over Chatoyant, even with iridescences bonus. Sweet.

Are they inferior to Rubeus? Thats what I'm using atm. Don't have akasha yet.

Rank 1? Side grade.

Thanks, I'll skip them then and save myself the inventory.

To give a dmg comparison using the pimp set from the last page assuming the relevant sch buffs that would go with those peices (ebb with savant head klima with feet weather with obi/twilight) switching icesoul to gladr would be +43 int and 60 mab without augments or 63 int and 86 mab with full 15/15 bowkus.

lvl 99 sch/rdm with full stormsurge/af2+2 augment Hailstorm has 111 int 24 mab so grand total no food no staff would be 174int 110 mab.

vs a null mdb mob, with 100 int, no day bonus: Bliz III chat: 1884, no aug: 1917, full aug: 2083. Blizz IV would do chat: 2861, no aug: 2902, full aug: 3137. Bliz V would do chat: 4357, no aug: 4401, full aug: 4721.

So yeah chat definitely loses no matter how much mab you have now if you are using weather ebullience and klima gear. Though not by much without augs. Oh and skirmish weapon might go higher than delve staff.

Might change a little after update but probably not enough to care

Well if you are really going for maxing out rank 15 beats akasha about the same at rank 8ish

[noodles355]

Definitely not considering Rank 15 on them lol. Not considering rank 15 on anything till I have more gil and see next round of equip releases.

[grevenilvec75]

Use orvail pants instead of Rubeus

[noodles355]

Oh yeah. forgot about them...

Is it still worth it to make usu +1 head/feet for mnk|pup? Or just get chocolate mask + delve feet?

[Vyvian]

Does anyone have an itemset on AH or can give me an example of a good Hybrid PDT set for MNK for Delve NMs? When I have to swap to my PDT gear I feel like my accuracy horribly tanks even with sushi and buffs, so I'm probably taking off too much accuracy.

Is it still worth it to make usu +1 head/feet for mnk|pup? Or just get chocolate mask + delve feet?

Yes, Usukane Somen +1 and Sune-Ate +1 are still considered essential components of an ideal TP set, partially due to the Haste boost that you receive when at least two of the items are equipped. That then enables replacing your Black Belt with a Windbuffet Belt.

(Though I admittedly have no idea what you're referring to when you say "chocolate mask," so I couldn't provide more in-depth commentary than that.)

Chocaliztli Mask

I don't have tenryu hands (or any intention of trying to get them nowadays), would usu stuff still be worth it in that case?

EDIT: How do you get the wiki autolinks?

Yes. I use Brego Hands because I'm terrible since I don't have Tenryu +1, for example.

This should answer all of your gear-related questions, as alternatives are offered within.

As for the Wiki links, they are automatic.

[fantasticdan]

Hmm weird, the link in my post wasn't working when I asked that, now it is. Guess I'll have to try to get some salvage 2 in while this event is going, thanks for the advice/link.

Avesta Bangles or Repartie gloves? I'm thinking 2% fast cast isnt really worth the inv slot especially when it comes with less overall macc.

Why not both? Always Ayao's Gages or Rubeus Gloves if you doing it for the enfeebling
