What's Better?

[Taint]

Is a Kannagi 85 still the best main hand weapon inside Abyssea, bar of course higher tier Kannagis, and outside?

Yes

[bechyni]

Good general rule I've gone with is 1mab=2agi roughly. So 7agi would beat 3mab. magic crit hit does nothing for ws iirc.

Thanks, I wasn't exactly sure if the magic crit would do anything with it being an ele ws or not.

[grevenilvec75]

Bear with me on this one.

Assuming no Ukon, which would be a better set up for WAR:

STR magian great axe and 99 ragnarok

or

99 Bravura with AH g.sword.

I have 5/5 in both upheaval and resolution. I have a decently good upheaval set but a subpar reso set that may or may not get better (shit's expensive) (Marrows would be 'free' to use but not sell)

[Radec]

How often do you fight things where you'd use metatron for the DT on top of a DT set? (aka, for now, legion w.out pdef)

Rag/Magian GA would be my suggestion: GAxe then just being for procs, I'd suggest a stp one to save time making any str/att weapon.

Also allows you to unmerit upheaval

Edit: Sounds like getting marrow from LS, if you're planning on making both rag and brav eventually, but can only upgrade one to 99, I'd say 99brav 95rag - get the metatron boost for when you do use it, vs only a dmg upgrade for rag.

He doesn't want Ukon because he's avoiding Glavoid.

I'd get Rag and buy an Ukon, you're going to drop over 3m on the STR Axe anyway, and even at 400/shell it's 20M. In terms of farming, you're looking at 1 Dynamis vs 6 Dynamis.

I've already told you this though.

^ listen to this man

[grevenilvec75]

I already have the STR g.axe.

Rearden you gonna come merc my glavoids?

20m only gets me shells in your scenario also.

Ukon requires me logging on to shout in PJ for mercers all day long, and you know how I love to log in outside of dynamis/LS event.

Also the ukon would prob never go past 85.

Keeping all that in mind (i'm super lazy), the rag + ukon still the best way to go?

[Churchill]

To merc glavoid I'd have to play a terribad game and have an active account lol.

If you do anything you have to log in, so claiming that as a deterrent is silly. You can log in and go AFK and just lot shells, depending on who sells you shit. Best thing to do is put up a Wanted: Glavoid shells in your AH profile and offer a fair price. Like I said, it's 6 Dynamis at 400k, but it's a little over 7 at 500k. Offer 500k a shell and you won't sit in PJ all day shouting lol.

The other stages are easy to 2box and can be done at your leisure, or purchased for ridiculously cheap.

[grevenilvec75]

I must suck at dynamis because I dont make 20M in 6 runs.

I log in for dynamis anyway, so doing the relic requires no further effort.

I think you are underestimating my laziness.

[Guitarman]

uther's grip vs pole grip for 6 hit apoc? (no NNI group so i can't aim for 5 hit quite yet).

[nikia]

Just wanted to ask if Portus Collar could replace my current neck item for NIN and BLU WS? Blade: Hi,Shun,metsu and CDC. Not sure if Requiescat could be added to that or not. If any of those WS can use portus please let me know. Thanks.

[zoopooscooper]

Monk:

AF3+2 Head with AF2+2 hands or Thaumas Hat with AF3+2 hands? (Using Thaumas Body)

Seen someone with the latter on and wondering if the Crit+4% out does the acc/att on af2+2 gloves. Just got my Thaumas hat and wondering if that was a new good set-up to TP in for Monk.

[Landsoul]

Ogier Breeches or Avant Cuisses +1 for Shoha

[Detzu]

Bale Flanchard +2 or Hrafn Hose for Catastrophe?

Shun and Requiescat have replicating ftp so no, use gorget/elebelt. For CDC Rancor Collar/Atheling or Moepapa/Rancorous Mantle. For Hi Hope/Rancorous should be better than anything with portus, and I suspect Rancor/Atheling would still be better as well.

Ogier Breeches or Avant Cuisses +1 for Shoha

Ogier if you need accuracy Avant+1 if you don't, going by shoha thread on AH.

[Atoreis]

Bale Flanchard +2 or Hrafn Hose for Catastrophe?

Ogier's

[Detzu]

Ogier's

... I know Ogier's are best legs for cata... How can I say it... umm... Gaunab is a bitch...

[Atoreis]

I would save abju for HQ (even if ther eis small chance you will get it) and use af3+2 till ogier's.

Just got Entropy 5/5 and I'm looking to alter my Catastrophe set for it. Anyone know the ideal set for it off hand? I'm unsure of a couple slots like ammo (int+2 vs. +attack options), waist (bale vs. anguinus), ring (int+7 vs str+5/int+5). Thanks.

Entropy replicates fTP, so ele belt/gorget. Shadow works for both entro and cata, and is what I use. Spiral ring over icesoul since ice has -2 STR. +2 feet over dilaram's, phorcys/abyss+2 hands but you should have one of those two anyway.

Would link my (average, been back 3 months, solo'd apoc) set as a baseline but I'm on my shitty phone at work.
