phantom earring -.-

[Thefrost]

I put on some nuking gear, lol. What is wrong with that phantom? I could get 1 more int there but since i plan on getting a novio and i don't care to spend 1 mil on ah stuff (especially since i'm goin for usu now lol) then i don't see whats wrong with that.

[chapstick]

He's just jealous of the full morrigan's. Don't worry, phantom is fine until you get a novio.

[Demosthenes11]

magnetic >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> phantom

[chapstick]

Not everyone picked the dumb earring. And I don't see how magnetic would be so much better than a phantom for nuking, that you have to point it out and attempt to ridicule it.

[pchan]

Yes It's a pretty good nuking setup for RDM. The best second earring would be novio > morrion +1/ desamilion (since he is elvaan lol). Magnetic is 5% conserve mp as in you need on average 20 spells to see its effect.

[Thefrost]

Thanks for defending me! I thought he was going to say something like "someone with full morri should have a novio already or at least des". However, he said magnetic and so I can just lol now!

I'm not putting down ppl with magnetic at all, its a good item and i would use it more than phantom during regular rdm stuff obviously.

Morrigan's imo isn't the greatest nuke set for RDM.
Definitely not enough skill/magic accuracy depending on what you do with RDM.
Optimal set imo would be Morrigan body/hands/legs but use Nashira Crackows for feet, and AF1+1 head.
Nukes won't be consistent enough on stuff such as sky NMs with full Morrigan.

It's enough on Flan if you keep ice staff and merit ice. It's also enaugh in dynamis, stones don't resist much, beastmen even less. With the full set, merits, wizard's earring, torque, merciful you get, 263, and 273 if you use ice. If you add the +10 Magic accuracy from the set and merits it puts you at around 293 skill which is enough for merit mobs and dynamis mobs (excluding xarcapard). Also full set should give you like INT+50 which adds some extra accuracy. Also add to this the extra accuracy from an HQ staff. I've tried chainpsell nuke on Einherjar boss too and it works pretty well with the full set, and normal waves don't resist at all. But yes stuff like Kirin are out of quetsion.

Eh Idk I'd have to use to see, but I really don't think it'd be sufficient on Zipacna/Faust/Steam Cleaner.
The whole set is not even close to +50 INT. 4+8+10+3=25.

Full set plus other slot will give you 50 INT in a standard nuking setup.

[Demosthenes11]

maybe 40ish...
assuming you use wizard earring, ele torque, merciful...

[Seditedi]

maybe 40ish...
assuming you use wizard earring, ele torque, merciful...

Which you should be using for RDM nukes (I rarely sub BLM so don't own the earring)

My nuke set off the top of my head is:
AF1+1 hat (10 ele skill/5 INT)
Elemental Torque (7 ele skill)
Novio/Moldavite(12 MAB)
Mahatma Hpl. (11 INT)
Phantom Tathlum (2 INT)
Morrigan's Cuffs (5MAB/5Macc)
Tamas Ring/Snow Ring (10INT)
Merciful Cape (5 ele skill)
Penitent's Rope (5 INT)
Mahatma Slops (8 INT)
Nashira Crackows (5 ele skill/2 macc)
Aquilo's Staff(since only nuking with Ice most of the time) 5INT/10skill

That gives 283 elemental skill and 7 macc (with capped elemental merits)
+46 INT
+17 MAB

Full Morrigan's would put me at like +47 INT
268 elemental skill and 10 Macc
+27MAB

I'd take a hybrid set for RDM nuking honestly.
It really shines for BLM, but if you fight or solo anything worthwhile on RDM, you're going to need more Elemental Skill than Morrigan's gives.

[pchan]

It puts you exactly at 52 INT without merciful and 48 with merciful

[Uzor]

53 with Gleeman's Cape over Prism Cape

[Seditedi]

I'd use Merciful for RDM nuking in any situation
