WHM Melee random crap

[Shinryuu]

40k IS is 13 1/3 runs, less if no captain, khroma is 25% droprate (there's 4 items for that slot, assuming equal distribution isn't very far-fetched). It's a guaranteed 12k per run, plus NPCables; say 20k per run on average (reality it might be a bit more) plus khroma odds.

Khroma: 1.33M for 400k khroma
Rest: 266,67k
Opportunity cost of perdu wand: 1.6M

Unless you are completely unable to ever do ISNM due to time constraints or only having like, PUP75 or SMN75. Time constraint eh, not likely.

There's so many other ways to make money, and only one way to get Perdu weapons. That's how I see it. They're sexy and totally worth it if you're not too lazy/have the time to find other ways to make money.

Not to mention Puk ISNM hates my linkshell and only gives ores to the extra person we pick up via /shout just to fill a spot. Had a static but we all got frustrated after two months of no ores for any of us.

[Kriz]

It's time like this that I wince when I think about the opportunity cost from my FL cape (56k ISP) and my Perdu wand.

But hey, in a topic about melee WHMs, rational thought is secondary to clonking things. And Perdu wand helps in that area to a large degree

[Andradi]

If I played WHM, I'd probably get one if I had the ranks.

As it is, I am levelling Club on RDM with my NPC and good lord this thing (Fourth Division Mace atm) is SO SLOW after having Joytoy for a few months.

Unrelated, aren't most of the perdu weapons (Axe, Scythe, Sword, Club come to mind) best or close to best non-relic weapon in their classes?

[zantes]

Don't trick yourself into getting the Increased Weapon Skill Damage mod on this piece, it will only give 20 damage for every 1000 you do now on a WS. Definately not worth even looking at.

[Shinryuu]

Yeah for what it's worth I never said Perdu weapons aren't actually worth it, I just stated they're worth about 1.6M for 40k ones. Axe is the best 'basic' GAX (RC, Fort, Rampager can beat it though), sword's one of the best BLU weapons, Club's easily the best regular club... I've just never been impressed with the scythe, really.

No offense to those arguing that the IS is worth X gil, but if you plan on meleeing on your WHM, you're gonna have to shell out some money. If you want to be good at what you're doing, you're going to have to pay for it. Look at how much a Hagun costs compared to what you're saying a Perdu Wand would cost. It's like 3/4 of the price. You should be happy you don't have to pay 3mil for your best non-relic weapon. Do you really want to look like all those idiots that melee in Verner's Rings/Electrum Rings/etc.?

Ever since I've gotten the Mjollnir, I've had to work pretty hard to remove the stigma behind WHM/NIN, please don't help bring it back Q_Q.

Yeah, nobody seems to put Perdu Sickle far above other scythes like many perdu weapons (katana comes to mind, that is fantastic offhand).

[Furion]

They should fix Mjollnir and other stupid relics. SE is so retarded.

I see quality posts in your future.

I see over 4k posts in your past?

Wtf. You don't want to see your relic being useful?

[Izzy]

Who said it wasn't? A 75SAM who quit FFXI and is going to publicly advertise/brag about his WoW character and shit talk FFXI on an FFXI forum?

I played the game for about 4 years so why can't I post on these forums?

Also I'll let you know that there is WoW forums on BG.

I just said that SE designed some bad relics and they should fix them to reflect the effort to get them.

Mjollnir, along with other relic weapons, completely change the way a job can be played. Obviously, everyone would like their relic weapons to be enhanced. However, saying Mjollnir is a bad relic and needs to be changed when you have Guttlers and Claustrums out there is quite ignorant.

OT: Making an amazing WS piece out of the augmentable headgear sounds like the best way to go, imo.

15 WS Accuracy
10 Accuracy
5 Attack
4 STR

How does Perdu/Prudence compare to Morgenstern/Perdu?

[drwaffles]

How does Perdu/Prudence compare to Morgenstern/Perdu?

Tradeoff of lower delay and double attacks on offhand for 1 base damage on mainhand and +6% critical hit rate. Should be pretty obvious which wins out.

Perdu/Prudence is the best non-relic/mythic, non-KC setup you can get, I believe
