Gimp/Confused/WTF Player Thread IX: Real gimps, and then what Zero Serenity posts

Might also be a bought/given away account.

Look at the R/E shit, and look at the purchased shit.

[Seraph]

If some of the shit gear is craftable, and signed, I could totally see that as a reason to wear it in town. For the WAR, Max looks right. It was probably a sold account, or the guy is an idiot, or the guy is going for the WTF factor. Pick your favorite.

If you're gonna buy a Armada Hauberk WAR....at least buy some fucking gil with it to not look ugly as fuck...

Other then the katana and lack of ammo slot, looks like a decent (not amazing, but it is pretty good) ws set. For a job like sam, if you are meleeing during a zerg youre either A. doing it wrong or B. the zerg is taking too long.

By the time you hit your Sekka, WS, WS, Meditate WS, WS, 2hr WS WS WS the fight should be over.

Back in this thread i was arguing with somes persons about a newest 75 player, a DRG with courage rings still "thoses +2 STR lv14", the SS was taken in WG "i say WG so the clueless idiots around will have somes difficulty to make fun of my butchered english"

I don't understand, when it come to that kind of players extremly gimp, because Armada Haubert & the guy doesn't even bother using 150k for a HQ amemet, why it should be excused & why it should not be posted ? the fact they are SS'ed in town doesn't make any difference in their cases, it doesn't look good as it shoud do, it does look pathetic... the tard ever use a martial axe in the off hand..



Does that mean only Endgame players are allowed to do it ? any newest 75 is obliviously an idiot who would wear gimp gears because he is gimp ? i must be missing something

I've gotta be honest, no clue what you're trying to say. If he was "new" to 75 he wouldn't have Armadaberk & Haidate.

Bonanza? For the love of god please say that's what it is...please tell me no shell was that dumb to give that away....

I really just assumed he was going for the "WTF" factor when people saw him in town, but Max and you both suggest good alternatives, anyway my point was don't post gear in town no matter how bad it is <_<. Hell, I wear AF+1 head and Ares's Cuirass in town on DRK because it looks awesome, doesn't mean I'm going to go and TP in it.

Gorget vs Torque.

NQ Cerb vs Gorget

I dunno, just looked like a waste of an elvaan female and an ass-helm.

This one deserves a special pic and worthy of a repost.

Oh man, lmfao awesome...I've never seen this.

[mdkuser]

Can't recall if thats Toreadors or just NQ Acc+5, and whats with people using that Two-handed weapon delay -3% grip ? Seen several JP Apocs on Quetz using it, am I missing how it beats the Double Atk+2% ?

Apparently it's hard to understand that sword strap is superior to pole grip, unless it breaks your current X-build. -3% delay is way better than 2% double attack (statistically), and its all the better than the base DA is high. Also it does something 100% of the time while pole grip does something 1/50 of the time. Now there is a draw back: it generally breaks you X-build.

If you are a 2-hander /nin or /war (or something taht's not /sm) then use sword strap as you won't have a 6-build anyway, if you /sam or sam main use pole. usu body(or askar)+usu feet combo allows you to maintain 6 hit with sword strap on sam. Shit is situational, grips and SJ too.

Sword Strap doesn't work 100% of the time. -Delay does nothing for WS, Pole Strap can proc on WS.

or jumps in drg's case.

[Cream Soda]

But guys, you're forgetting pole grip won't proc on asuran and can mess up the procs of your Kclub!

[mdkuser]

it does reduce your delay all the time.

It makes you also ws 3% more often, effectively increasing your total dmg by 3% ( 3% more melee dmg and 3% more ws dmg).

pole grip boosts 1/50 of your gekkos by 50%, while sword strap makes you do 3% more gekkos. See the difference?

edit: it's actually 3.1 % cause 1/0.97=1.031

[Cream Soda]

And in gekko gear, not likely to have the acc to consistently land the 2nd hit!

Last I checked, Double Attack increased your WS rate also.

Not arguing anything other than that...but incomplete math trying to prove a point is pretty dumb...

[Fr34k]

Yea you swing 3% faster, but if you are not constantly meleeing the same mob, that 3% won't add up to another attack. You get 33 attack rounds or more on a mob, then you get an extra swing.

If you're fighting mobs that die in a minute or less, the 3% delay won't give you an extra attack ever, it will just slightly reduce the delay between swings. 2% double attack can proc on a mob that you only get 1 swing on, so it is much better for things such as merit mobs. The only time Sword Strap would be any good is if you're constantly engaged on 1 mob (HNM) and the 3% reduction in delay won't bump you up to a higher x-hit build. That's how I always looked at it, at least.

[mdkuser]

was answering to the idiot saying delay reduction doesn't affect weapon skills. Oh and btw lets all stop meleeing in haste gear cause it doesnt affect weaponskills either.
