Cap for VIT is 5 for HQ lvl 49 rings.

**Raldo** · 2013-10-14 17:49

So if you're not doing anything serious and don't give two shits about the minor boost from melding, go with Toxotes Ring, got it.

Then why even ask if you don't care about being gimp?

Didn't really look/search for it, but are the damage formula and crit rate formula already figured out for this game ? If so what are they ?

Not sure about this.
Apparently, from what I see at Crit stat is to affect DoT ticking with Crit. And the more DoT happened on Crit, the more we can spam Bloodletter, a non-GCD WS at 150 potency.
My best record on proc' I managed to shot 3x Bloodletter between heavy shot and straight shot, when I placed Wind + Venomous Bites on 2 Mobs in AK, of course...

I just got told to meld VIT on a DD job. Fuck that.

HP is somewhat important yo, unless you like dying.

Not on a job that I stated I don't use for anything difficult.

**Day** · 2013-10-14 19:39

Why are you even asking then? Looks like you just didn't like the answer.

Be gimp BRD, no one here will give two shits. Don't act pissy about advice you asked for.

**Spider-Dan** · 2013-10-14 20:20

Just FYI, I tested Sarnga+1 with capped crit melds (+29) against a guildie with NQ relic bow and otherwise inferior gear (and no macros) in AK, and lost by about 10k damage. So it definitely won't win that.

Didn't try it against equal DMG bow (e.g. Garuda's) and they are patching out try-before-you-buy for iLV70 gear, so I don't think I ever will.

Was pretty certain this was wrong but had to go meld and double check.

EDIT: Oh and 6 is the cap. When I tried to put another on it says 0.

**fren.** · 2013-10-14 22:02

So I just dinged 50. Is there a certain path I should follow in terms of acquiring Darklight gear and all that jazz? I assume I need the left side gears first for the HP boost (sitting at 2700 now), yea?

Say waaaat.

I could swear if I tried to meld more VIT to my turquoise with VIT+4 it gave a red +1.

I can't go back and check atm since maint just started, have to look at it tomorrow.

Seems like STR/INT/DEX/MND/VIT are all on the same tier as far as caps go, PIE/DET on another, then ACC/Crit/SkS/SpS for the last set.

I think the VIT cap is 5 on tourqoise/tourmaline. I could be remembering incorrectly though.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-14 23:06

Would support the case of my memory not being shot, but the better question would be why?

I could potentially see the reason behind tourmaline being different due to its secondary stat being a primary stat (PIE) and PIE is weighted differently than other stats.

Don't see why turquoise would be different tho, MND is on the same level as STR/DEX/INT.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-10-14 23:08

Can't give mages that 1 VIT man. Too OP.

Basically compare between AK gear and DL gear (for main slots), pick the one that has better crit. Offhand I think that's

Tox head is fine, DL if you really want it
DL body
Tox hands (are basically a myth; AF1 hands are fine)
Tox legs?
Tox feet are fine, DL if you really want it

Though that seems like an awful lot of not-DL so I dunno how that works out HP-wise. On my part I made all my philo buys first week so I ended up getting DL head/hands/legs and later feet. So I basically did it completely wrong.

**Day** · 2013-10-14 23:24

I also did it wrong, but it depends a lot on what tox pieces you have at the time. I did all DL but legs, which I went from Tox to AF2 with. I have Tox hands and use them over DL now.

All the DL stuff is nice honestly, just a few of the tox pieces come out on top. Peeps around here like to hate on certain DL slots, but it's better than AF if you don't have tox, so fuck them.
