Post Pictures of your gear II

[Clynt]

ive tried so hard to get ls whms to put some effort into bar gear/merits, its amazing how little some whms care. whats the avg # a decent whm puts out? 177 in gear and im not even hitting 300 after barfira.

I'm not sure if the WHM's that were buffing me had AFv2 Legs/barspell merits but I went from 170 -> 337 with Carol/Crumhorn+1 and Barfire.

Just curious as to why hecatomb+1 over hauberk+1? Wouldn't the attk be more beneficial than the str?
Also would you use an aqua ring over flame for guillo?

Otherwise very, very impressive.

he's getting attack+13 from the hecatomb harness +1 when using 2h'd weapon as well as the str+13.

so hauberk+1: str+6 attack+18 accuracy+18 (fully converted)
harness+1: str+13 attack+13 accuracy+11 (fully converted)

net: (hauberk+1) atk+5 acc+7 vs. (harness+1) str +7

the accuracy is probably negligible with 2h'd weapon nowadays. so str+7 > atk+5 for scythe i'd imagine.

Jesus christ ppl.. if I see another fire kit w Bastokian/Dino *anything* I'm gonna release my new strain of avian flu on "y'all."

No, +5 resist is -not- worth giving up 4~5 emnity or haste, period. If hitting that resist tier relies on a shitty +5 harness, you have a lazy/stupid WHM.

(I say stupid because even an enhancing torque/augmenting/AF2 can help make up for lazy/no merits.)

You ever hear of a macro?

Why the hell would you use an enmity generating ability/spell in Barfira gear if you didn't have to? It's possible to do things in enmity gear and still get the Barfira gear on before you get hit, you know. Especially since if you're duo tanking since you're most likely sharing hate rather evenly with the co-tank, and have large windows to do things in enmity gear.

And Maxed out Barspells are around +122/124 iirc but i might be very wrong.

126 is the maximum with full barspell merits, full enhancing skill merits, cleric's pantaloons +1 and all enhancing magic skill gear (enhancing torque, augmenting earring, cleric's duckbills, merciful cape).
120 is the reasonable max (no pantaloons +1, merciful cape, or enhancing magic skill merits).

Yeah, thanks for correcting me ;x

I realize this.

However you'll be hard pressed to find me bothering since diminishing returns allow you to create an all-purpose (save post-roar) kit that requires zero swapping (and leaves my manually targetting mages happy) while still preserving absolute hate.

I've got essentially the 'perfect' barfire kit, and after parsing the returns (over a year ago) I find the inventory +1 infinitely more useful than any dino gear, swap or no... besides, I need more room for my amazing post-roar Sange kit!

Yup and with min/chaos and R.Curry the STR is even more important. ACC is not a problem, esp. since the update.

Then perhaps you shouldn't say things like:

If its NQ its signed ~ Hauby -> Tzu, Wyvern Helm + Behe Ring -> Tyrn, both have been MIA with RL so no hq's Have several synths waiting for them tho :3 so here's hoping!

WHM is just WHM :3 I -never- use it cept for the emergency situation ~ all MP gear go ;o! and BLM isnt 75 yet so no peaking at that gear :3!


........_.............Be gentle....

[Shadida]

Your RNG gear looks pretty solid, not much to say.

You might want to try the Wyvern Helm for TP sometimes, especially if you're in a merit PT with BRD/COR and you have lots of ranged attack stacked on. It's your choice if you like the Rapid Shot better though.

Also, if you can manage it, go for a Jagd Gorget or Qiqirn's Collar instead of your Peacock Charm. You'll be trading off some R.acc for the same amount or more in R.atk. Even a Ranger Necklace can do that too.

Pahluwan Seraweels are nice for WS if you've got the AP to buy it.

Also, I believe Scout's Socks are best for WS in any case where your pDIF isn't capped.

Finally, for your MND gear don't forget your Hunter's Braccae have MND+5 on them. Every bit helps for Mithras like us.

Aside from that (and most of those are just matters of preference) it looks great. I gotta post my gears soon... I'll do it this weekend.

I'm not even gonna bother with War or Rng, Rng is officialy 74 and I despise the job all ra/ex now. Warrior is typical walmart but without Bomblet, Jugger, Ebody, Anything amazing or even good I won't bother with it. My cor is normal too.

[Fated]

nice sig

[BerenTebogo]

For the NIN gear I have a few comments, it looks good but unless you're eating meat on mamool it looks like you're overcompensating a bit, my suggestions, and thats all they are are this:

Head -> Shura, unless lurker / no madrigal + meat / etc

Hands -> Are those O/H Kote? If so, dusk gloves TP AF+1 WS, Kote for WS if no limbus, but really TPing in O/H Kote is going to hurt you in the end. If they're N kote, again unless you're being deprived of madrigal and fighting lurkers I'd say you could tone it down a bit.

Ranged -> Keep the sting if you can't afford a bomblet, I've never been a big fan of the core on NIN, but bomblet is one of my favorite NIN pieces, and there's not much that could ever convince me to sell it

Rings look good, belt looks good, back is fine neck is fine, I use hope torque but I clearly don't expect everyone to have that

Feet -> I personally have a thing against rutters, some like them, I don't, if they work for you that's cool but I assume you're hume? (sig) so you have literally the best WS feet in the game for NIN barring usukane as your RSEv2 and I macro Koga feet for night WS personally - marine feet are from an easy and very profitable BC60 so no loss there XD

I mean overall, you've got the right idea clearly, and even if you don't make any changes you'll still be fine, but those are just a few things that jumped out at me if you'd like to tweak^^

The Rutter sabatons are prolly the best WS piece for NIN except for Marine m/f boots. Why would you hate them if they're only macro'd in for a split second?

[Denchi]

Wouldn't Denali Feet be just as good, if not better, than Rutter?

Rutter has Attack +5
Denali has Accuracy +5

guess it depends on your gears/food/enemy. But the Acc seems overall much more useful

[wop]

My NIN finally hit 75 last month.
Not sure what else I can upgrade apart from crazy stuff like MarsRing.

Hope Torque, Toreador RingX2, Bandomusha Kote for daytime WS, Koga Tekko for nighttime WS.
