Whats better?

[Greatguardian]

Ah, I gotcha. I can probably get Love halberd next JoL. Won't be getting Tomoe or Levi Couse any time soon. I keep an ample stock of stones, and would only use it at birds (When I'm not already using COR there), so shouldn't be a problem ya?

right, your penta avg will be bit lower, but your ws rate and DoT should good up decently with it.
Edit: Had forgotten Gondo-Shizunori.

for drk(guillotine):
ares's legs, n legs


granted i only have haidate atm, just wondering if i should hardcore join a salvage group or look into finding n legs through einherjar or niddy

Gonna quote my post from 20~ pages ago.

Guillotine/Insurgency:

Ares's Flanchard
Onyx Cuisses
Hecatomb Subligar

*Onyx doesn't worth keeping if you happen to obtain a pair of Heca.


Ares's Sollerets
Onyx Sollerets
Hecatomb Leggings

*Homam's also a viable choice.


Spinning Slash:

Ares's Flanchard
Onyx Cuisses
Hecatomb Subligar

Hecatomb Leggings

WAR...idk bro im drk.

May have been asked in here before, if so sorry.

Can you rank the 3 leg pieces listed below from best to worst for WS gear in merit pts?

for war (rampage/raging rush):
Byakko Haidate, Ares's Legs , N legs


for drk(guillotine):
ares's legs, n legs


granted i only have haidate atm, just wondering if i should hardcore join a salvage group or look into finding n legs through einherjar or niddy

Can't speak for DRK, but for WAR, how much DEX do you hit in WS gear? Try moving gear around so that you can hit 117 (maybe it's 118, haven't merited in almost a year) DEX with Heca legs. The attack boost on them makes for an ideal multi-hit WS piece. Otherwise, use Haidate and move gear around elsewhere. I'd use them for Mamool as well, maybe switching to Haidate for NIN and THF mobs, depending on party makeup and how quick your BRD is at getting Madrigal up.

[mdkuser]

117 is enough only for colibris, puks and skoffnin. For most MMJs even the mages one, 117 dex has no sgnificant boost to cirt rate (less than 5% boost).

Why would you use Jugg/Temp over Man/Temp?

Where did I miss that D46 Dly 288 Str 3 Att 30 > D49 Dly 276 Acc 5 Att 18?

JUST ON THE ACC ALONE, 5 Acc vs 12 Att, have we learned nothing from the Cuch mantle thread?

Nevermind lower delay to get more Temp rounds in, and higher damage.

Chaos Sollerets +1 are also good for Guillotine!

Amg youre right, I was too blinded by getting a new toy. Atleast I can get rid of Woody.

Yep, missed that one

[Thunder]

Would mamool ja mantle stack up to amemet +1 for /ra like cerb +1 does to cuch's?

[TybudX]

Mamool Ja Mantle doesn't exist. ; ;

WAR/SAM: 8 GA merits

dusk ledelsens +1 vs aurum sabatons in dynamis/einherjar(polearm sam has replaced my war for meriting most of the time since people are scurred of big bad mamools) rest of gear:

perdu/polegrip/bomblet
turban/ancient torque/brutal/assault
adaberk/dusk+1/toreador/rajas
cuch/vbelt/haidate

math, I suck at it.

[Wolfknight]

Ok Follow-up to last question.
Due to salvage I can aim to get one piece of yigit atm for my nuke set-up, so which piece would best to go for on blu:
Head[+1 MND +2MATT -3int vs Current AF]
Hands[+5 int +2MATT vs Current Mirage]
Feet[+2 MATT -3 MAC vs Current Denali]
I think hands > head > feet in terms of upgrades for dmg, also anything better than what I currently use on those three slot besides morrigans[not an option currently though might get feet sometime].

[Zimbabwe Justice]

Probably a dumb question, but I have a WAR at 10 with an axe/shield, but I also carry a great axe with me. When should I use what? I restarted so I don't have /nin, just /mnk @ 18 right now. I was told that since I am going to be a pld, I should use a sword/shield to skill up with, but that seems kind of dumb to me. I'm primarily soloing, as well. Also, since I am primarily just trying to skill up at this point, should I be using the smallest types of shields? Or does that even really matter with shield skill-ups?

[Hyriu]

Great Axe.

You can level shield when you level PLD.

[Greatguardian]

Double checking my math. When using GKT in exp, Soboro > most others till you hit DMG:80, right? Since it averages 2 D:40 attacks per round and D:40 WS twice as often as a normal GKT?

So pretty much Soboro till Onimaru/Hagun, vs something like Daihannya or Zanbato?

Wrong.

WS mods are added to base DMG, say you have +50 base DMG on WS(ballpark estimate, probably on the low end).. you're comparing DMG:90 WS to DMG:140. Soboro is severely underrated, granted tp spam can be a bad thing. If damage is your only concern, I'm pretty sure it situationally beats Hagun.. but regardless you should use it until then at the very least.

[Greatguardian]

Gotcha. Good to know =o

WAR/SAM: 8 GA merits

dusk ledelsens +1 vs aurum sabatons in dynamis/einherjar(polearm sam has replaced my war for meriting most of the time since people are scurred of big bad mamools) rest of gear:

perdu/polegrip/bomblet
turban/ancient torque/brutal/assault
adaberk/dusk+1/toreador/rajas
cuch/vbelt/haidate

math, I suck at it.

I use Aurum Sabatons, but I have P.Charm instead of A. Torque, Hauby+1 instead of Adaberk, Ulthalam's instead of Toreador's, and Att Mantle instead of Cuchu (currently working on all of those ;. So you have almost 20 more acc to tp in without even ignoring feet choice. I have parsed Einherjar and the various dynamis a few times and I always cap on acc with my tp gear and eating att food, no madrigals, so I am fairly sure you should go with Dusk Ledelsens +1. I would say you should also use Blitz instead of Toreador's, specially if being Hasted and with double march, which I am sure you are. Just parse your hit rate.

[Darlantan]

"Without considering / even ignoring" is what I failed to say.
