Post Pictures of your gear II

[ZarakiKujata]

Things I know I'm missing: Shura Kabuto, Terra's Staff, Brutal Earring. Other then that, anything stick out that I might need?

Forager's Mantle, Alks, Triumph, Potent Belt, Norizuka Shuriken, Trance Belt, & most importantly not a Fudo, ever, everevereverevever

alkies? wutlol?

if the Cerberus Mantle is free from ls take it over Forager's + it saves 1 inventory for a fire resist setup. Do you wear the warwolf fulltime tanking? I usually like a haste belt there. Maybe a peacock charm instead of chiv chain as well?

I'd probably have to buy a Cerb mantle, but I don't mind it. I alternate between the swift belt and warwolf dependent on if I really need the extra haste.

For TP gear, Fire Bomblet is actually a big enough difference for meat builds to invest in. That's pretty much it other than the Brutal, Perdu, and HQing up some stuff. Your WS gear could be tweaked one way (For bird camp anyway) if you had a Rajas. Without one, you're probably best off sticking with attack gloves and trading the RSE in for Denali or Rutters.

The DMG reduction gear looks more like a standard NIN/DRK tanking setup (Though you should use your Swift Belt for that unless you're getting Haste and double March). I would use Mermaid over Bomb Queen in about 99% of situations. I'd also recommend you have an actual physical damage reduction build. I use one while tanking Faust, when shadows are down on various random NMs, and when Terrorized. What I use:

Earth Staff
Ungur Boomerang
Arhat's Jinpachi +1
Harmonia's Torque
Eris' Earring +1
Eris' Earring +1
Arhat's Gi +1
Denali Wristbands
Jelly Ring
Mermaid Ring
Resentment Cape
Warwolf Belt
Byakko's Haidate
Suzaku's Sune-ate

In the spirit of the thread, I'd screenshot it but I'm geared up on WAR now. I also recommend full-time NINs invest in an all-out evasion build, which you can figure out for yourself, and then put together a hybrid haste/evasion build for soloing.

Ever played NIN? Depends on set-up, but i'd use Warwolf and NIN AF1+1 hands on WS out of preference - Dex is awesome.

I use similar set up for exp, but with Brutal, Cerb Mantle, Rajas and p. charm for TP (sometimes for WS if I feel Jin is letting me down). I'm missing D. Head too, and would buy a Fire Bomblet if I was concerned about exp.

i never thought about the Denali Wristbands, thats pretty smart, lol. 42% physical dmg is nice, but depending on the situation, i would assume S kotes would be a bit more ideal for the HP/agi(for parry or evasion)/loldef or something. If im under 1400 HP on a tanking setup, it makes me kinda nervous <_> lol. But than again.. i can see it being more beneficial if eat i carboneara or something, /sigh idk lol

Updated TP/WS gear, replacing uneeded acc with more attack/STR! Since I'm hitting the acc cap so easily now. My base attack is nuts now but, man this set of gear is ugly.

I wonder what else there is that can be updated!

[Starr]

661 base Attack?

[RKenshin]

With Red Curry+Hasso yeah, that's my base.

And I could still update to Shura Kabuto+1 and Cerberus Mantle+1. I sold my Cursed Kabuto-1 though since we rarely do sky and the line is long (don't like the idea of taking for HQ over someone that doesn't even have), and trying to get a HQ mantle but hard to synth/find.

Outside of getting more Usukane pieces (or the full set) I don't think I could change much else though.

EDIT: Nvm, I got wooshed. I didn't realize the 'what else can be updated!' wasn't referring to gear until reading it a second time.

[TB]

Get a Bushi already.

[RKenshin]

I don't have accuracy problems! All bushi offers is more accuracy.

[Tricen]

It add less fail.

[Therin]

So is Usukane legs definitely better than Byakko's Haidate for that setup? I assume so, otherwise Ruke wouldn't be using it, but that was my only question.

I had a feeling Byrnie +1 was going to be good after the update, but I didn't want to drop gil on it.

[Tyramut]

It's almost like a real LJ update!

Almost...

[richardd]

he can get away with not wearing byakkos just because of his relic. tbh, id still wear mine over usu legs because i dont hit the cap lol, not gonna lie (and the 2 haste and extra 15 acc is sex), but i think they are the best WS pants for SAM. However, im glad to see im not the only one whos having terrible luck with the usu feet. Ruke, when you get those, would you consider switching to dusk gloves over your hachi+1 kotes?
