I'm sorry, little derail here... I just don't get it. What is gimpy about Askar hands? No -movement, moar haet, and Dex towards crit build+4 Acc with a 2h weapon is crap compared to 1% more Haste, 5 Att, and HP that Askar might have too?
Yeah yeah, Dusk +1 or gtfo, naturally, but I actually wanted Askar hands to complement my Dusk hands.
Ouch, I know how you feel Amylea. LPs first relic was a LOLkatana too. BTW it sucks, I don't care who you talk to. Quietus' first Metsu did 153 on a decent challenge mob. It's also terrible in XP parties, our second katana from Zinzo did 151 metsu on a mamool. I think he was out parsed by about 5% from a DRG/SAM. Mamools, not colibri. Some relics were made for looks, others for practical use. Others still just to have something for someone to WASTE money on.
Oh, the paralyze effect procs about once every 20 or so XP mobs. The times it paralyzes the mobs before they die is about .01%. I don't know maybe NINs need to stack up on more MND gear? (Just kidding) For solo fights it is prolly a decent wep.
Edit: No, Zinzo didn't use Metsu the whole XP party >_>
The heck, this is quite disturbing ... do you admire me so much that you even want to look like me now!?Originally Posted by Rhealana
rofl, owned. I wouldn't really call Askar Hands gimp either though, lol. I would rather them personally on WAR for crit/movement speed. Dusk+1 would be better sure but yea, Askar not anywhere near gimp.Originally Posted by Rhealana
Rhealana for a sec I thought you were someone else, lol. There is a 6A mithra in my LS with the EXACT same gear setup only no relic. It's a pretty hawt looking build. But like, mithra > all, we make anything look good.
If you can get past that whole fur thing... Elv F > all... as long as they don't run anywhere <_<;
140-150 damage happens when you hit only with offhand and not full weaponskill, usually you get 4tp return instead of 9. Still, 140-150 is better than full miss you see sometimes from other relic weaponskills and with right build it`s not like it happens on regular basis. If your kikoku ninjas put 10% of effort they put in getting relic to get gear to swap for metsu average damage should be 700-720 on exp mobs.Originally Posted by Suterusu
Paralyze is indeed super weak and what`s worse you can`t overwrite it with jubaku.![]()
Still jin>metsu even with very good swap equip but I find metsu useful for it`s skillchain usefulness especially recently in salvage with samurai skillchain partner. It`s always nice to see qutrub oneshot with kasha>metsu>light or follow someone's darkness with your double for extra damage. Definitely more than solo or -looks- weapon although it`s not as powerful as Amanomurakumo, Apocalypse or even Mandau, Yoichinoyumi.
back to lurking~
I wouldn't call Askar Hands gimp but they are definitely not equal to Dusk. Dusk has more haste and more attack. All of the evidence so far has shown that just a few DEX is not going to effect your crit hit rate. Anytime you are going to being moving, you could just switch gear. Askar is good but Dusk is definitely better.Originally Posted by Judai
NW quit with 100Gold during inflation and came back with hundreds of millions, she can basically complete another relic right now if she pleases (and I do believe she's doing horn now.) She only finished Kikou because she was on Stage 3 or 4 when she quit or something, back when NIN was her main(only?) job. That being said her NIN is pretty well geared and I don't think Kikou is as bad as you're making it out to be if you keep in mind why someone would even get one![]()
Nightwasp is a guy... >_>;;
Grats Nightwasp!! :0
1. It's a dude lol his name is Howard, or atleast the original account holder was.
2. Is that even the original account holder? I asked him questions before about like, uh his girl friend who used to play with him 24/7... He didn't even know what jobs she had at 75, lol >_> Either bad memory or it isn't Howard. Either way he better get horn done before that JP does. Fairy sucks with 18 kikoku and 42 mandau (over exagerated(sp) due to the fact both suck imo and we have too many) And only 2 horns ftl.
i was wondering the same, if that was the real wasp or not. congrats either way.
Yes it's the original NW, and yes I know it's really a guy, but I just call everyone in my LS with a female character "she" really![]()
All the E-ginas, huh.
Wasn't really implying Askar are better then NQ Dusk, just saying I would prefer them personally because I hate having to switch to Heca/Alky's(SAM) to move around anywhere.Originally Posted by ringthree
^ one of the main reasons I switched to askar.
the pic is of a DRG, so between Askar and Dusk, there's Homam. Askar is definitely the most inferior of the 3 but it's far from gimp.Originally Posted by Judai
Need to change the title of this thread to "Critique my equips cuz I g0tz a relic."
More like, lol they got a weapon instead of a shield or horn thread =(
