Whats better?

[Raen Ryong]

4acc vs 1fSTR~
2acc% vs 1fSTR

THF:

X's: 2.7% DoT, x% WS
Blau: 2.8% DoT, x% WS
Sirocco: 3.3% DoT, x% WS

BD ~40: 2.5% DoT, x% WS
BD ~45: 2.2% DoT, x% WS
BD ~50: 2% DoT, x% WS
BD ~55: 1.8% DoT, x% WS

(where BD = D + fSTR before Rajas)

2 accuracy % at ~85% base acc:

2/85 = 2.4% DoT / WS

It is hard to evaluate them completely because the StoreTP WS frequency boost changes from setup to setup, but generally I wouldn't use Toreador's over Rajas on any total BD <40~

Again though, varies setup to setup.

(the Attack does boost it but is inconsequential compared to fSTR+1. Note if you get fSTR+2, Rajas destroys Toreador's generally).

For a GAxe warrior: Fortitude Torque or PCC?

Having a debate with a friend on which is better for TP gain. Should fortitude only be used when aggressor is up? Or is fortitude all around better than pcc

[Darlantan]

It's as simple as PCC when you havent got capped accuracy.

Capped on acc? torque
Not capped? PCC
Cheap? torque

[Cream Soda]

So that's how DoT/WS frequency work w/ acc+?

Let's say I'm at 80% hit rate and add 10 acc, I'd just do
5/80 x 100 = 6.25% increase to dot/ws ?

[Raen Ryong]

Yeah, exactly that in an ideal situation.

Working on a Ceremonial Dagger set for Enspell 2 spam soloing. So far, my set looks like this:

I have an augmented spinel earring (acc+3) for one ear, what should I use for the other?.

hollow earring?

Brutal Earring?

[Andradi]

Enspell IIs don't proc on double attack/offhand hit, so brutal is out.

Hollow earring would be excellent if it's available.

[Pendulum]

He says in his post

The DA on brutal is no help with En2

And hollow would be the best enspell earring if you don't use ethereal or w/e

Teaches me to not read post!
Though, wondering now, would dual wield cere daggers with enspell 1 be better?

I have ethereal for tanking, so hollow is a no go. ;_; Single wielding to use sentinel shield for the haste. Trying to keep all recast timers as low as possible, and it gives a nice swing speed with marchx2.

[Pendulum]

I never melee on my rdm and don't have the enspell 2s

From what I read though, enspell 1 will hit for 17 with no enhancing gear compared to 34 from enspell2 with the same setup. He mentions shadows so he can dual wield the daggers and use brutal/suppa if he doesn't want to get a hollow earring. I don't know what the numbers will show exactly but delay reduction and double attack when using enspell 1 will surely beat 3 acc and 3 extra damage when using enspell 2?

This is assuming the magic accuracy boost from enspell 2s isn't needed though.

Lycopodium Earring. Additionally, unlike enspell 1s, I'm fairly sure enspell II cap is based on current enfeebling not enfeebling when cast and you should be TPing in warlock's tights until Nashira Seraweels(and merciful cape if available). If you don't want to or can't try for lycopodium, Diabolos' Earring isn't particularly hard to get.

[Yugl]

Uggy Pendant or Elemental Torque for SCH Elvaan on medium resistant mobs (Or whatever you classify Apollyon/Sea NMs as).

Facts:
540MP When nuking total
270MP (269?) and Spell cost MP to hit the 8MAB Latent
8 Elemental Merits
4 Charges for JAs (In case people don't know)

Concerns:
Takes one Non-Parsimony nuke in order to reach Uggy range with another Non-Parsimony nuke
Since 270MP is where I need to be to gain Latent, I either need to use Parismony on the nuke before that 270MP or I won't make full use of JAs (Even with Parsimony, it's ~80MP for Thunder/Blizzard)
Sublimation returns 280-300MP, but if I want Latent, I need to use it at ~80-150MP.

Current Set up (Note: This isn't my resist set up)

FFXIGEAR.com

I'm aware of other upgrades and Obi with weather.

Edit: I blink cast, but don't have Spellcast. When using this set (My Non-resist set), I'll have to full-time the Pendant since hitting a macro for the pendant would interrupt the blink. Moreover, I simply don't have the macro space.

Hey guys, new poster and I have a question.

For a 66 BLU, is a Musketeer Commander's Falchion a better option than the Greed Scimitar? It's been awhile since I upgraded the weapon. I'm currently dual wielding Ifrits/Musketeer's.

Thanks!

Hello there, I just got an Askar Zucchetto, so now I'm starting to wonder wether or not I should modify my WS macroes.

I'm a Hume WAR with 4 STR merits, 8/8 GA, 5/5 DA.

My "old" WS gear looked like this:

Main: Perdu
Sub: Pole grip
Ammo: Bomblet
Body: Hecatomb
Head: O.Hat
Neck: Soil/Snow Gorgets
Ears: Brutal + Assaults
Hands: Hecatomb
Feet: Hecatomb
Legs: Warrior's Cuisses
Back: Forager's Mantle
Rings: Rajas+Flame
Waist: Warwolf

Now I'm thinking about swapping O.Hat for Askar, and replace the Cuisses with Haidate. So what's better, + 19 DEX and 4 STR, or + 4 DEX, +9 STR and Double Attack +1 (for clarification, first scenario would see me with a total of
123 STR, 105 DEX and +18 ACC; the second 128 STR and 90 DEX, and +ACC stays the same, lol)?

The WSes I'm talking about are solely Raging Rush and King's Justice, with a Steel Cyclone thrown from time to time for shit and giggles. The targets will be mostly meripo mobs, food meat, the usual stuff.

Thanks in advance.

For RR go with Haidate and Askar since Dex is amazing for RR, SC is STR and VIT so WAR AFv2 legs and Askar. For KJ I'm at a loss.

Never knew that earring existed.

Current enhancing, I dunno how I forgot about that. I'm very hit rate conscious, so I tend to skew towards acc in non haste slots, but that's a really good suggestion. I'll probably just keep my Augmenting Earring on now that you mentioned that, with Warlock +1's. Only a 4acc loss for 18 enhancing, good deal.

Do you happen to know the increase enhancing magic gives on a per swing basis of the top of your head? Was there ever more testing done on it beyond the initial Composure/Enspell testing thread after the patch?

I finally beat ToAU missions and have a choice of rings to make. I am mainly a melee but I already own Raja's and Sniper+1 x2's. So my main concern is RNG, which would get Jalzahn's Ring. However again I already own Raja's Triumph and a behe+1. So my question is would I be better off Raja/(Behe+1 Triumph) or Raja/Jalzahn. I need the rajas for a 5 hit btw.

I guess I could always get Ulthalams for when I salvage.
