Whats better?

[el_tio]

Here's my stats, - FFXIAH.com. What I want to know is if using askar head would be better then wearing wally turban?

Someone should sticky the answer to this question, it gets asked so many times. >.> <.<

You try search?

[facker]

yeah i've tried to search, but theres a few threads with 50+ pages of data, and that would takes hours to look through >.>

if you meriting on birds and aggr. is down yes it should be better, however when it's up turban will do better since you'll cap acc, but generally for tougher stuff like MJSP wyvern/nin/thf mobs askar should be superior always.
edit: this is assuming the +4 dex will not move you up a crit tier on the mob.

Askar head has a latent effect: Augments Badassery, which makes it well worth giving up 1% from Walmart turban, before considering possible Acc/fStr/Crit boosts.

I'm probably the only person who prefers Turban looks <.<

Triton's Scythe vs Perdu?

Least I look like shit in Aquamarine (*'-')

Triton's Scythe vs Perdu?

Perdu.

Tredecim > Perdu imo though.

Yigit Crackows Vs Cobra Crackows

I think it comes down to 3int vs 1mab + conserve mp+3 + 22mp??

i dont remember the exact stats though

[amentis]

Yigit. Absolutely no contest. At all.

Conserve mp is a garbage stat for blm. The yigit will do more damage, and have better accuracy.

Assuming you don't have access to perdu volgue (gaxe), is wardancer > byakko?

And, is ridill viable on ranger?

[Max™]

Wardancer latent only works with Bard, kills 6 hit build, and it's only Dmg 89... I'd have to say no on that one.

I think Ranger has like D sword?

[Callisto]

And, is ridill viable on ranger?

RNG at least gets a good chunk of Acc+ to make up for the really low D skill, but even then I still think just shooting is better with Velocity Shot. Melee TP works with K.Club, but I don't really think Ridill is fast enough and you'll likely miss out on a whole crap load of damage compared to just firing away.

[Shafted!]

Thanks about wardancer vs byakko.

Yeah rng is D in sword but E in club. Reason i ask is becuz my friend uses krakken in meripo, and seems to do well. But i guess krakken > ridill because it simply hits more?

[Chen]

for drk, perdu scythe vs everything else? is there anything better, outside relic that could be used?

does not have rajas ring for STP if the delay on scythe is relevant at all to the decision

[Callisto]

K.Club would definitely swing more, and the difference between D and E is only 9 more Acc, which isn't huge when you're already giving up over 60. I think that it would kind of neccesitate sushi, which is bleh in itself on RNG, at least to me I'd rather pop a sub and go to town with EBow or Obow.

[matix]

kclub rng with a good haste/acc build will absolutely destroy the face of anything ure not hitting 0's on, with /nin and sushi, no one can touch me on mamools, events like dyna ill mostly use meat/kc, loads of fun. i usually only shoot in merits if its a rng burnz, or maybe im feeling like a change in pace. ridill works pretty well but its nothing like a kclub

To answer Xerlic's question: Mab does more the crappier your gear is. If you have good gear, or even remotely competent gear, then Petasos+1.

I don't know the exact math, but you'd need a really low amount of mab for the 2 mab on Ree's to outdamage the 5 int.

Edit:
The general consensus, which is incorrect, but as close as we can come to any sort of estimation, is that 2 int = 1 mab.
So, 2 int = 1 mab, then 4 int = 2 mab.
Therefore, in an ideal situation, Ree's is better than Petasos+1.

However, like I said, MAB has diminishing returns. If you're using Novio/Moldy/Zenith mitts/Yigit Feet/A body with MAB on it, most likely the AF+1 hat will give you more damage.

But if we're going from a purely damage standpoint, then Demon helm+1 is the winner.

Ree's has 2 INT on top of the 2 MAB. So by that "close as we can come" estimation, Ree's gives the equivalent of 6 INT. Also has 2 magic acc, 2 MND, 2 CHR. It does lack any -enmity or MP, so it's like comparing Tamas Ring with a Snow Ring, except it's a Snow Ring with effectively 1 more INT. What was that HQ Snow Ring that never actually existed in game called?

If you end up with Ree's before upgrading AF+1 I'd save myself the coins, and sell Demon Helm. One of the 3 items will parse above the other 2, but not by any significant amount.

No evidence of crit tiers, unless something new has appeared. I have gone over this a ton of times already. More DEX = more crits. As far as it can be determined crits is a pretty simple DEX-AGI function, so more is always better for crits. There may be a cap to crits at some point of DEX over AGI.
