What's Better?

[Squah]

Yeah, I was hoping I would edit it before you noticed. I'll be over here in my corner of shame.

[Buffy]

Cor W/F Feet what to do, Current Set is:

Thaumus, Stoichen, Novio, Hecate's,
Loki (Tessera if Prov ever puts out), Thaumus, Stormsoul, Stormsoul
Forban, Svellte Gouriz (sp), Thaumus, ???

103 Base Agi (12 Agi Merits) + 98 from Gear and 30 MAB without feet bonus. Includes Agi from Staff, Grip, and Gun, but not the MAB Bonus from Prism Staff
Thaumus feet would be 14 Agi, Cor AF2+2 Feet would be 6 MAB.

Thoughts?

Prism staff doesn't give an mab bonus unless you augmented it. Gunna need to know sub job and what kind of mab/agi buffs you plan on getting

HQ Prism Staff doesn't have the elemental affinity 1.15 modifier the level 51 staves had?

I typically /rdm, and lets assume no Atma/Atmacite/Brd Songs and Tacticians and Chaos Rolls.

Or penalty. Saw this on ffxiah, ouch: http://static.ffxiah.com/images/ss/f...r8TO6nxlk2.png

It has the staff bonus but not mab bonus. Huge difference lol.
Anyways thaumus by a bit. More mab will just widen that gap too

There were exactly 0 of those reported in the entirety of our random augment thread. I'd want a full-sized image with some character names in it before I believe they added negative MAB to the random pool.

[Alistaire]

Well, http://www.ffxiah.com/screenshots/66750 is the full link. Caption mentions how much he got npc'ing it, so doubt it's still in existence.

Drachenhorn seems to have weird attack bonus?

Wonder if Ganesha's Mask works the same way...

[pancakesandsex]

So I wound up with an asteria last night. Is there any situation where using that for a thf offhand, 90 Twash main, over a str thoktcha would be a good idea? Maybe just inside abyssea where my crit rate is retarded and I have a higher chance to proc?

Is the only important difference between NQ and HQ the silly glow and the 4% crit rate, or is there something hidden on it?

Does anyone know the Crit damage + proc rate on it? Is it 10% like the supernal or is it higher?

Isn't CHR not a possible augment with +5 already on the staff regardless?

[Byrthnoth]

Yes. I'm almost entirely sure that the picture is shopped.

I don't understand the distinction you are making Dasva. Let me be plainer:

I thought that using Chatoyant staff for Wildfire would be superior to Vulcan's because it would have both the Fire Affinity and Agi +5. Am I mistaken?

Staff bonus, element affinity and magic attack bonus are all different factors. Yes chat has the same staff bonus as vulcan and the 5 agi does make it better. It might just sound like semantics but they are all different things and as such can have different values. For example if it was 15 mab it would pretty much always be worse than vulcan. If it was 15% fire affinity it would be worse any time you had any other fire affinity like from atma/atmacite

[Draylo]

Yes. I'm almost entirely sure that the picture is shopped.

Yeah I agree, definitely looks fake.

[Aja]

So for MNK when you don't need accuracy with this set:

Vere90/-/-/Potestas
Ganesha/???/Brutal/Ghillie+1
Thaumas/???/Epona/Rajas
???/Black Belt/AF3+2/AF3+2

I don't really care to buy Nomkahpa Mittens unless they really are that much better, would Mustela Gloves or Seiryu's Kote with Crit Rate +3% be better? And is Nefarious/Rancorous or Rancor/Atheling better?

Also, AF3+2 body for Smite still when Impetus is up, or Khepri Jacket with WSD+4 no matter what?

[Febion]

Mekira-oto +1 better then drachenhorn?

[Kaomst]

THF relic feet+2, worth using for TP?

Range:Raider's
Head:Raider's+2
Neck:Rancor
Ear:suppa
Ear:Brutal
Body:Raider's+2
Hands:Raider's+2
Ring:Raja
Ring:Epona
Back:Atheling
Waist:Twilight
Legs:Raider's+2
Feet??Ryuga Sune-ate/homam/relic+2

[Kyte]

Relic+2 feet are pretty great.

Use relic +2. You pretty much can't beat that combination until they add haste hands with similar stats to the raiders +2, or haste feet that are better than athos.
