Anyone able to confirm the HP boost on Askar?

[Tricen]

I don't think this was posted but just curious.

[maddadon]

has anyone even gotten a full set of any of the nyzul gears?

[Spekkio]

if it's anything like the assault set items, it's probably +40 or something.

Kind of a necro but relevant to OP. Unless it's been said elsewhere I haven't seen it. Theres a player around now that has full Askar set. When I asked he told me it was 10% HP boost. I can't confirm the stats with a pic or anything but it sounds reasonable to me at least.

Reasonable but resoundingly underwhelming. Unless the HP boost was something in the order of +30% or something it's more efficient to just split up the pieces to various jobs (feet and hands to PLD, legs to lolDRG). Good to see SE's design team is still in the zone :D

The it gives 10% HP bonus sort of gives me hope for the other lset bonuses. That's quite good to be honest, just not good enough to justify full set. Now for Salvage where the set bonus being any decent could justify wearing the entire set...

[Lordwafik]

some of the salvage sets are awesome enough to wear full time, set or no set :D

Beside usukane, which one is good "full time"?

[BRP]

Morrigan is pretty close to full time. I think you lose like... what? 3 or 4 MAB tops? The full set bonus will probably make up for it.

Yeah I would wear Morrigan full set on BLM >_> body beats weskit, hands are like z.mitts with acc, legs beat mahatma, idkwtf feet do for BLM and crown reminds me of a mix between AF1 and AF2 head

I would, however, not wear the full set on RDM.

Nivlakian did the math when the set was first released, and I remember him saying that even if the full morrigan set bonus was marginal like MAB+5, the overall benefit to using it outweighed the bonus to using only the best pieces and macroing in others, even in situations like AF2 legs for day or af2 hands for MB (from a purely max-damage standpoint). I forget what numbers he used to arrive at that though, and I may be wrong with Set: MAB+5 assumption but I remember thinking it was a fairly low assumption, whatever it was.

Hmmm, 5% haste for Usukane, 5% Double Attack for Are's.

Would be pretty sweet.

I've always figured somewhere around those numbers, as 10% would just be absurdly awesome.


Aside from the HP boost, can anyone else confirm the Sexy+ percentage?

Need that head.

A conservative 5% Haste gain from the full set of Usukane would make up for haste lost from Head, Legs and Feet. Only benefit that wouldn't be gained would be from Dusk or Koga hands, but that has to be balanced with the absurd stat bonuses on all the pieces.

I dunno if 5% DA would be enough to wear Ares full time, other than for pimpin'.

10% might be enough though... I would definitely consider wearing Ares full time whenever I'm scything (DRK) against HNMs though.

Not with Ridill, not for soul Eater, not for tanking..drg maybe? N.set is probably better for WS on drk, and you should get accuracy imo if you melee.

If Usukane set gives 10% haste bonus... <_< it'd be 2% more than using the best haste gear available atm, excluding dusk+1 hands.

However, if it's 5%, which is more likely, MNKs will still be able to hit the cap with BB.
Usukane: 8% haste.
Set bonus: 5% haste.
BB: 12% haste.
Total: 25% haste.

Yeah but you can hit that haste cap atm aiming for haste gear in the same slots anyway >_>
Turban 5
Fuma shoes 3
Haidate 5
BB 12
Total: 25

Granted the usukane head and shoes offer much more than the turban and fumas respectively, just saying that pushing the point of haste for a monk is kinda repetitive. Kinda goes for all the jobs that can use it excluding pup because seriously fuck thinking about that job. You'd be better off hoping the haste given is higher than 5 and then hope it benefits sam and nins getting a higher cap than they could previously.

Doh i cant count nvm ><
