What's Better?

[erikore]

/thf Cannonball build, Vulcan's or Terra's Staff?

Wouldn't the added defense gained from the +5 VIT give it a slight edge?

Vulcans until more testing is done. Suiram started on CB tests, but hasn't finished. If anyone wants to continue his work, he posted the information and we're looking for data using 2/3 DEF:DEF ratio and 3/2 DEF:DEF ratio.

Harpe/Blau vs. Blau/Sirocco

Definitely Blau/Sirocco. The only dagger combos which are comparable include things like P-Harpe and X's knife, and even then I've seen math which points to Blau/Sirocco being better due to attack speed and WS frequency, even without considering the wind proc. Just don't use it on things like ISNM Puk.

Harpe/Blau vs. Blau/Sirocco

I'm torn.

Blau/SK. Wouldn't even use P.Harpe/Blau over it personally. X's and Mandau send Blau to the offhand though.

Yeah.

I figured blau/sirocco was better, but I was imagining since Harpe has 35 base damage, it'd improve my weapon skills by a bit, which would compensate for the lack of faster TP gain. Also thought I could ignore the delay on daggers since they both have really low delay anyway.

For Mystic Boon:

Flame Ring

Sapphire Ring

Ruby Ring



I can't afford an Aqua Ring right now. I know it's the best for it. I had the Flame Ring just laying around from my Nin.

ok for mantles.....

would cuch 5 acc 4 str 4 dex beat out NQ amemet augemtn of 5 acc 10 attack 1 str?

seems the difference would be just 3 str 4 dex vs 10 attack which seems kinda close.

[wipers]

Which job are you using this for azagarth ?

[azagarth]

well i have sam, mnk, blu and pup(who se wont give a buyable mantle worth a fuck to)

be for the first 3 during tp phase, and mnk and blu during ws.

Love Torque vs PCC tomoe sam. Just want a second opinion or a checking of my math. PCC came out to win slightly.

The way my polearm skill and dex is, love torque turns out to give only 9 acc so its 1 acc vs 7 attack. For my polearm sam I'll estimate 35/75 DoT/WS DMG but for the sake of giving attack the benefit of the doubt, will count it as 40/60

My sam has 94.something% hitrate on lv 81 birds and 90%ish on lv 82 birds. We'll just call it 91%

1 acc is .5% hitrate
.5/91 = .5495% increase in DoT/WS frequency

7 attack, haven't merited in a while, but I'll assume 500 zerk down, 650 zerk up, dia II on birds

((507/293)-.35)/((500/293)-.35) = 1.76% increase in DoT, nothing to ws frequency.

1.76 x .4 = .704% increase

Now w/ zerk up, assuming 650

((657)/293)-.35)/((650/293)-.35) = 1.28% increase
1.28 x .4 = .512

Pcc w/ zerk up, torque w/ zerk down? or safe to say to fulltime torque due to w/e amount of crit rate the dex will give?

Best AH Scythe for Drk. No Abyssal. No Scythe merits. Do have Brutal and Rajas.

[Andradi]

Moliones's Sickle + ring (assuming you don't have toreador's etc) should be the best, with Rajas/brutal + so many hits of Guillo it's an easy 6-hit, and very strong base damage. Death Scythe +1 might be slightly better but it's a very small difference and good luck finding and affording one.

So you're saying Cuch or an NQ Amemet Mantle?

Go, with Cuch.

For Pyrrhik Kleos -> Eviscration darkness build...

[Vite]

for blu/nin Perdu/ifrit's or Perdu/beast znm sword?

[Andradi]

The latter, Ifrit's blade is awful by 75.

[jimbobsonofgod]

for blu/nin Perdu/ifrit's or Perdu/beast znm sword?

Erlkings with +5 damage/perdu.
Frag/perdu not the other way around.
Don't think I'd use Storm ever.
And
Frag/Koggel not the other way around.

Frag is really just crap anymore since you can get a 5 damage +more macc erlkings for a main for 1/100th the price.

Fuck even if you're really cheap you can double up the erlkings for some fagtastic combo and still be better geared then 90% of the blu's I see running around my server.

Ideally :

Some combination of the following : Perdu/Koggel/Erlkings
Or go for A Tizona.

Here.

Going by - FFXIAH.com for Drakesbane, which would be better to get? N head or N legs? I pretty much have to pick between the two for Ejar, and once I get one, the other won't be coming for a long long time.
