What's Better?

Justiciar's Torque or Houyi's Gorget for Exenterator? On DNC if it matters.

Justiciar's (unless att cap etc)

Thinking of getting an Apoc, will I need to merit Entropy or could I just live off Cata for pure dmg? How is Entropy compared to Cata just for dmg? I know it'd be ideal to have Entropy and be self-sustainable for MP in some situations etc. The WS is INT based... Looks pretty awkward to gear, anyone has some sets I can look into?

I had Entropy and then delvled it for Ruinator, but Apoc just isn't the same without it. So now I'm remeriting it again. It does slightly more damage then Cata at 99, benefits more from SE spam (a big advantage of Apoc) and the MP recovery means 0 down time ever.

Why would MS change your choice? /facepalm

ok, i'll stop with the silly basic war/rag war questions. i played war a lot @75 and haven't played it at all since the lv cap raise. would anyone be willing to answer some of my more basic ??s via pm? would love to see some gear sets also, or just a general layout of what to gear for in what situations.

I think all your answers will be on FFXIAH.com forums under WAR.

That's why SE needs to allow us to unlocked all merit WS.

What would be the more damaging weapon for WAR under normal circumstances (non-zerg, no 2 hr), 99 Ukon or 99 Ragnarok? Assuming of course perfect gear and merits, etc. Also, just how close would it be between the two weapons?

99Ukon > 99Rag

Very close however

99Ukon > 99Rag

Okay I see. Are there any scenarios where Rag would win though? Like in a zerg situation or when 2 hr is happening, or would Ukon always come out on top?

Rag would win in low Crit situations (morta,Mul wave 2 etc), Rag would win while MS is up.

Okay cool, thanks. Starting to look like Rag is the better investment I guess. Especially if a person plays DRK as well.

Thanks alot for the insight, I'll probably end up meriting it then. For gear sets, on legs slot, best second option after Haggin Hose would be NQ, Ogier's or somethig else?

[fatty]

While were poking Taint for DRK gear sets, I'm kind of at a loss as to how to build a dark magic set for DRK. Anyone got a set to share?

Hrafn hose (huginn's nq) is second best option.

What would an ideal upheaval set look like for a str telamon war. If ideal includes vw/legion abjuration gear, also include alternatives. Assume qilin-level or higher target.

How does Oneiros Helm (DEX +13, DA -3%, TA -3%, Critical Hit Damage +3%) compare to Ocelomeh Headpiece +1 (DEX +13, AGI +13) for unstacked Evisceration in Abyssea?

Are there any situations where the critical hit damage +3% would outweigh the DA -3%, TA -3%?

Maybe if you're forcing TA with assassin's charge? (Assuming unstacked meant sneak/trick not AC)

dunno I have armada breeches with +10 STR and +6 INT (dont know if can get higher) and +4. m.acc on it? Primary went for the +STR back then, and got +6 INT on it (this is not a random augment).

Avant +1 is a nice solid option you can just buy from AH.
