Post pictures of your gear IV: Oh hey, you're a Paladin too?

[Demosthenes11]

Hey man, I'm almost done building a skyline

...all I need is the engine

[Avarice]

Haha ya.

I still hear that alot from people. "Im 2/3rds complete on XXX peice of Salvage armor!!!"

.... "I just need the 35". If that were the case, id be "almost done" with all 5 salvage sets. And ive been "almost done" with usu body for 2 years.

If you're missing the 35, you havent even started.

Man, not that way for me. It's always 25's that elude me. Been waiting for Phobos's Cuirass for months.

no picture of zerg gear yet cuz a lot missing

Just curious, as I'm sure other people will get nit-picky about other things, but why TP in Etheral Earring (unless you're planning on getting hit?) versus something with accuracy like an Assault Earring?

[Siralin]

I do it because DRK is the only job I have leveled (outside of PLD) that can really put assault earring to use. I had an assault earring for 58-72 on both DRK and PLD, but sold it both times.

Yeah, it's not the absolute best thing possible...but ethereal isn't that bad.

I'm not saying it's a bad earring, I was just curious since I figured the slight extra accuracy would help some; on that note what's your accuracy like without food?

Switch Yasha+1 to Dusk or Koga depending on mob/songs, etc.

have other sets obviously, 178 Fire resist, not sure the number on my Earth resist set but I'm only missing earrings at the moment.

actually, since lv59 (or whatever level it is) I was using assault earring. I recently sold it since I didn't feel 2 acc for 300k was completely necessary.

I use it on DRK full time because you don't need refresh to continue to cast Stun. Amazing earring for DRK and definitely better then owning an Abyssal.

The set in the middle confuses me; what're you aiming for? It looks like Suzy Feet for Fire Resist, but then BQ Ring (?) and Jelly ring... am I looking at it in the wrong manner?

I'm no NIN/DRK, but I'd probably say that's his damage reduction/Defense set.

Note the Shadow Mantle vs. Cerberus Mantle in the other two gearsets, not to mention the Terra's Staff vs. Hades Sainti in the other two sets.

Damage Reduction. The feet are for the DEF.

[Hyriu]

^ This, but I could probably shoot for a pair of Darksteel leggings and subligar+1 if I really wanted to maximize but for now the DEF suits me, most mobs hit like pussies with that set of gear on + taco or Pescatora

[Drex]

-Yeah late to the party-

Ah, I see it now. I just had an abnormal notice of Suzy feet since I normally only think of them as "Fire feet."

[Cream Soda]

Haven't posted my set here in a while and updated a bit, so here goes.

Notes:
Gear not to confuse:
Toreador's Ring x2, they are not sniper's/woodsman
Bandomusha Kote: Not Okote
Shadow Mantle: These pics were taken today, so its not the old Cerberus Mantle
Genbu's Kabuto: Not to be confused with Shura Kabutops


General TP: its what I keep on standardly and change if needed. (For example if my acc is Good, I'll swap out a tor ring for a Rajas). Use Fenrir's Earring During Daytime

Accuracy Build: Ear2 is a Minuet Earring. I use Diabolos in its place if no Minuet Active

Asuran A/B/C: Not much to explain here, I use one of the three macros based on how much acc I think I need on the mob I'm fighting

Salvage A: 26% haste, capped acc for the most part so the additional acc from Bhaidate aren't needed.

Salvage B: Mainly use this for triple gears/chariots. 24% haste, good acc. Use melee gloves instead of Bkote for the subtle blow.

Chakra: Had some more gear for this, but sold to buy other stuff. I currently get 432 and my max was 464.

Solo: I swap out denali (5 eva with agi added) to Ohat if my eva is low. I swap in Melee Gloves and Usu shoes while focus is active. Body is Arakan Samue, and I swap in SH+1 if my acc isn't capped.

Dragon Kick, Howling/Fury: I have an osode on me about 70% of the time, use that in Cyclas+1's place. I however, don't own an osode (sold to buy haub+1 for my sam a while back). My friend usually lets me borrow his while he's not on brd and I let him use my pcc for the sam he's lv'ing, which is why I have one available most of the time. For fury, I use hissho hachimaki atm because I'm unsure if/how much VIT effects it.

Kite/High HP: Its basically my Oh shit macro, but knowing that I'm going in to take dmg, so start off with high hp then swap to regular Oh shit when hp matches the max of that macro.

Oshit: Mainly used if I'm fighting and in trouble, which is why h2h is on there, as opposed to staff when I know I'm going in to get hit of the Kite/High HP macro.

Ballista (vs Mage): Basically stack high HP and like the Faiths for multiple hits. Earrings are Arete Del Sol x2. Neck is Jeweled Collar. Waist is Ice belt. Planning on getting flawless ribbon soon.

BALLISTA RAWR!: General ballista build. Ears are Etheral and Loquacious for mnk/blu build. Legs are Rasetsu Hakama for Ice spikes (procs very well). The rest I will swap in and out other gears based on what jobs the other team has, but what you see here is what I go in equipped with.

Questions/Comments?

[VivixKujata]

Why not fulltime Usu hands in salvage? (except for WS) They have subtle blow (More then melee gloves), evasion, and accuracy, which is pretty nice.

Could also look into getting some denali hands for your Ohshi, and i'm assuming you need a pair of gaiters/hermes for your kiting set.

Osode for solo set is what I use. (I'm assuming your subbing DNC in that?)

For your asuran A, I'd use byakko's and a potent over those two, considering your wearing two toreador rings already. Byakko's does have more ACC then shura anyways.

I usually do Madrigal/March and eat either Coeurl sub or Hedgehog pie for salvage and my acc is always 90+% on chariots. While usu hands are more subtle blow (Though i just got them this morning, lol) I'd still use the melee gloves for the attack+, planning on getting melee gloves+1 when those drop.

As for denali hands, I'm focusing on Askar body atm for my DRG then i'm going back to 7 day a week salvage, which won't leave me with any tags for nyzul. I had a oair of hermes sandals, but sold them off. Gearing 3 jobs atm and movement speed is one of the last things on my list. Until i see 1.5m-2m on hermes I prolly won't pick them up again.

Not sure what I was subbing I just changed all my gear there at once, but I prefer nin sub to solo in. I only use dnc on small shit that shihei doesn't need to be wasted on (like lv'ing my NPC) but for things like solo'ing jailer of faith pops and serket, I much prefer /nin.

As for asuran A, Byakko's + potent belt is (7-8 acc + 8 acc = 15-16 acc + 3 str) Shura + Life belt is 17 acc + 5 str. Don't really see what you're getting at here.

15 DEX is better then straight up 7 Accuracy, you get the Critical %. And then potent to make up for the lost STR from shura, if your that concerned about STR.

[Cream Soda]

Only times WS can crit
A) Mighty Strikes
B) Sneak Attack
C) The ws says chance to crit varies with TP
When I use asuran, I don't meet any of this criteria.
