Don't have heca hands. Any comments/suggestions for the best combination possible? I do have 8/8 G. Axe merits. Thanks in advance.

[Shinryuu]

Get heca hands. Get bomblet. Cuchulain's and Haubergeon+1 are upgrades, but expensive. Perdu voulge is a time-consuming upgrade, and situationally Rune chopper and Fortitude axe rule. Calculate your DEX and see if ruby's worth losing to spinel/thunder for.

[Marcicus]

if you cant get heca for some odd reason use spiked finger gauntlets

[Starr]

Ares and Hachiryu hands are both better than Hecatomb most the time.

[Pawpr1nt]

Warwolf belt is better than potent?

[Pharaun]

Warwolf belt is better than potent?

Yes and no, if you can stack enough dex then yes it potentially could be if it helps you cap crit rate without sacrificing too much acc, otherwise potent is better for the acc+.

Ares's are really better than Heca? Guess I should use those some more lol. Ares's Feet aren't better than Heca tho right?

This is where I am at atm.
recently switched assault out for Triumph
Tried switching sniper for flame, but i think lost too much acc
no gaxe merits.

oh and don't mind the White Tath.
Someone transferred with my bomblet ._.;

^ Needs another sniper+1 for a whitebox line.

I'm sure they could be situationally, like on Lurkers but not like Ares>Heca, lose the accuracy in other slots to gain STR/Attack.

This is primarily what you should aim for as a WAR.

Obviously yeah Bomblet, I'd say stick with assault over triumph, ESPECIALLY if you don't have merits. Cuchulain's > Forager's both TP and WS. Warrior's stone for those who have access to it.

imo don't switch assault for triumph unless it is one of the last transitions you make.

[Starr]

no, moar like this

That's fail, no gorget!

[Starr]

also NQ heca, fail

[cdgreg]

I recommend the Reraise hairpin, while you can also equip the reraise earring that is only RR1. Read the topic and initially that's what I thought you were talking about /troll off.

This isn't Asuran Fists where the main mod is acc. Also dex is overrated. With 8/8 GAX merits this is pretty much the best WS macro you can get:
FFXIGEAR.com
Adjusting acc depending on the mob. Also Hachiryu Haidate and Warwolf's Belts are close to being on par with Ares' Legs and Warrior's Belt.

P.S. Trainee Axe FTW bitches!!!! j/king

[Starr]

my DEX total=119, cap for critical hit rate on greater colibri :D

Ya that's sorta situational though. On most HNMs and stuff like Einherjar I'd just go Str > Acc > DA > Dex (with in reason, Ares' Legs are a sweet package deal.)

[Starr]

oh yeah, no shit I have another macro with Iota/OHat/Warrior's Stone/Amir Boots

[Bakthi]

I almost never get to play my WAR, and my LS doesn't do kings, but I've done what I can with it given my that priorities are elsewhere; it's still fun to play. This is my WS gear:

Main: Perdu
Sub: Pole
Ammo: Bomb core
Head: Askar
Neck: Gorget (I have one for everything)
Ear1: Minuet
Ear2: Brutal
Body: Haub
Hands: Heca
Ring1: Blood
Ring2: Rajas
Back: AM+1
Waist: Warwolf
Legs: Haidate
Feet: Heca

So for a Mithra WAR/SAM with STR merits, that's:

STR 74 + 35
DEX 75 + 42

(unless I added something wrong). Back/waist/ranged are obvious places I can upgrade even without kings, but again, priorities. I also have Ares legs, but I'm not exactly sure when I'd want to use them; obviously I would with Steel Cyclone, but when would they be better than haidate for RR/KJ, if ever? I guess I could also look into a DEX ring for colibri (in place of blood) for that magic number?
