Post pictures of your gear V: Throw moar RNGs at it

[Asura_Zilla]

Swift Belt, Toreador's Ring, Bushi, Love Torque (but no Justice Q.Q), Iota Ring, Bandomusha Kote, Ethereal in Polearm TP/Penta, and all gorgets correspond to the WS. Typically use Haub+1 for TP'ing but I was too lazy to swap it in. I use Askar when and only when I cap accuracy. Also, town gear. It looks so sexy. Can't think of any other questionable gear. Curious about whether or not I should use Usukane Hizayoroi over B.Haidate for Penta, but with 240 skill I didn't figure I could go wrong with the extra acc. :/



Bandos, Toreador's, Ethereal. Mostly just bust out MNK for Salvage, working towards a meat build, but Hammerblow and 5f frog won't put out for me... ;; Usually pop off sole sushi. :/

Potent over Warwolf for Penta, specially if no PLM merits.

fucking gimp

least he doesn't wear nq light staff on whm!

I'm not posting pld til I get avalon or valor SO STOP ASKING!

Need to ban people who use ffxiah links. It's the media section, stop being fucking lazy and take a picture.

Dunno, if you're getting full haste from the chopper (would need 1 more tic from what I see), then I could see it being cool for meriting in some cases...

I can't help but look at the offered setup though, and thinking what I'd do with those pieces.

Currently, counting weapon/body/hands, you have:

Chopper/Ares/Armada
+12 Str, +10 Acc, +35 Att, and + ~4% Haste from the on/off tics.

Vs

Perdu/NQ Berger/NQ Dusk

+5 Str, +15 Acc, +25 Att, +3% Haste, +8 Base damage.

Or, not too unreasonable looking at the price of a salvage body (assuming you could unuse that gil and reuse it elsewhere, or can regularly make more), and assuming no plans to do Aery for Ebody

Perdu/Berk +1/Dusk +1

+6 Str, +17 Acc, +28 Att, +4% haste, +8 Base damage.

Wish I was on Max's server so I could parse the fuck out of him.

It's only a click and $25(?) away

very good setup

and Max, hes capped on haste until he runs out of mp (which he has plenty of) which makes it far better than a setup than using a NQ berk and NQ dusk crap.

[9627]

make a rdm refresh you.

Yeah yeah, Rune chopper is great in theory, awesome if you can find a Rdm to keep track of your MP dutifully while hasting and curing you + the other two melees appropriately, and I made a mistake in that comparo btw, it would actually be ~7 Acc for the RC/Ares/Armada setup over time if you didn't have someone to keep you topped off.



If you think "parsing the fuck" out of merit monsters is the greatest goal to shoot for, more power to you, but they're actually really boring fights. I'd rather worry about "tanking the fuck" out of a big bitchy dragon, or "kiting the fuck" out of a shit ton of campaign mobs (just got my first full time +movement a few days ago, still in "OMG VROOM VROOM" mode) for the sake of getting away with it.


I did kind of specify that I "could see it being cool for meriting in some cases", but it's just a lot of upkeep, and a significant Acc hit if your refresher fucks up/you're relying on sanction/ares refresh.

I hate missing things for some reason, maybe I've had the wrong idea all along.

[Reznap]

RC is great for maximizing your damage output, for things like einherjar and merits that's exactly what you should be striving for. I don't like having to rely on a rdm to refresh me which is why i like the ares/sanction combo (for einherjar you could just spam yag drinks, but I don't like clogging inventory).

Your really not losing any acc by building an RC set like Helm posted, without the need to use haste gear you can throw acc everywhere else and the latent is easy to keep on.

If wars your main and you do einherjar Max, you should parse a run with your normal setup, then try an RC build. It's really fun and I'm sure you can pull off more damage that way, just a suggestion.

[Max™]

Well, that set up he posted didn't have acc everywhere, which was my whole point. It basically traded a couple points of fStr and like 7 Att for 7~10 Acc.

When I used to use an RC, I'd carry juices of whatever sort, and use my normal gear set up. Yes, I've used one, but it wasn't worth the hassle and annoyance of trying to avoid gearswapping my MP away and whatnot just to stroke my epeen a little harder. I'm awesome enough already.

If I was really trying to do silly damage, I'd be carrying my Fort axe and burn through some stones. Warrior can do more than just killify shit to death though, I do that part plenty fine, more interested in tanking things.

lol, what do you tank? If you like tanking level pld. Or go nin/drk or something. (I assume you only have war? jobs not listed on ffxiah.)

[Hyriu]

I have Sao. Koshi-ate, just haven't really merited much since and that was the build I used. Pumped out nice numbers, and a solid average. My high is 2809 iirc, which was before I got Usukane Sune-ate or my Love Torque. =x

My current focus is Gnadbhod's Helm (got 1 pop set and 1 3/8, otherwise 0/2 on the BCNM so far =/). Once I get that I'm probably going to just horde my gil and buy a Black Tathlum since SW is a whore. ._.

[Helm]

Well with sanction, Ares and taking the occasional unavoidable hit, it isn't too hard keeping mp high enough for the full benefit of the chopper 90% of the time even lacking the rare refresh/juice. I wish I had an Ebody/+1 dusk stuff, but yeah still a wish that hasn't materialized. PLD is my main job anyways, so I generally use WAR for screwing around in limbus/merits/salvage/whatever-not-HNM.

[BadKarma]

least he doesn't wear nq light staff on whm!

Yeah! Wait fuck

I have an obsession with doing everything I possibly can with just War... that and I can't bring myself to get interested enough to level other jobs, though I've tried many times.

I was really unimpressed by blink-tanking when I first hit 75, then a miraculous thing happened (that being that I gained something like 15% haste since then), and I actually cared enough to get good at it... I was talking to a War in my buds LS who wound up tanking Faffles on War/Nin the other night... sounds like it would be a lot of fun with a good co-tank to go out and do some big shit like that, Pld/Nin + War/Nin.

Especially since Atonement + KJ = Light, I can't shake the urge to go make big huge things try to kill me.
