What's Better?

[Nishida]

For stuff like FoV, augment NMs, and generally lower eva/def mobs is a full mnd build good for Death Blossom or should I be piecing in ACC as well? I have Snow Gorget that I use, and I usually equip a lot of my MND gear, though I see the numbers land at around 280 - 511..usually on the lower half of the spectrum..and this is with sushi. I'm assuming acc would be nice, but not sure how much I should be putting on I guess.

[Andradi]

Do you have sword merits? Riding Composure?

RDM has pretty poor base acc, but with sushi you shouldn't have much problem hitting things RDM is likely to be hitting. (Some of the VT mobs in sea might be a bit evasive, though.)

I've only got 1 sword merit atm. I keep composure up at all times. I'm mostly concerned with WS Acc since I take off any acc gear I have in lieu of MND gear. I get numbers that hover around 300ish with the occasional 400-500 for my DB's..is this probably just from my brutal earring? Not sure what normal DB numbers are lol..

Eat pizza and watch your tp returns. If they're low, use more accuracy.

Here's a doozey that I've been pondering:

Let's say all jobs are at 75, also assume that hypothetical character has good gear for all jobs.
Which "Apocalypse nigh" earring (ethreal,hollow,magnetic) would benefit him/her best? No relic, no salvage gear, I honestly go to events on any given job, from bard to Sam to blm, pld, hell even dnc!
Thanks

[Nightfyre]

Hollow unless you do a lot of DRG/mage or maybe PLD/RDM soloing in my opinion, in which case I'd say Ethereal. It's also a decent idle piece for some other jobs if you're eating AoE but not to the extent of it being worthwhile on that alone. On the other hand, if you're willing to spam ACP you could try for a Hollow copy and get the best of both worlds.

ethernal is so unique, i'd recommend it for your situation. <3 idle piece, decent idle earrings are hard to come by, bar the -%DMG latents for some mage jobs.

Merman's Earrings?

I realize you said, "for his situation", but being unique isn't a good enough reason to pick something more times than not. Suppanomimi offers something unique, but it does dick-all for most jobs(and most of the jobs that would benefit it are pretty meh anyway).

Ethereal. Other classes have something that can replace most of, if not, entirely cover the benefits of the other earrings from this BC. Ethereal makes DRG soloing much less intense, which if you ask me, takes priority when soloing tough mobs on DRG.

[Kyte]

That is, if you even solo as DRG. If the answer is yes, then I would go ethereal. If not...might want to reconsider.

[Baha]

Ethereal or Hollow are really close. With all jobs getting equal use, you'd get comparable mileage out of both. It's not the "I have BLU but no suppa so I feel gimp" type of dilemma.

Ethereal probably gets a slight nod, due to some of its key uses being so apparent and convenient. If you never use DRG/mage or PLD though, then...

On the other hand, if he's only using same melee class (Especially SAM) for EG events where Pizza will help significantly in covering ACC, Hollow may not help.

Appreciate the help on the WS equip, as the oppertunities here, would like to ask about TP. 2 Questions really.

1# With the below setup should i switch Blitz to Snipers?
2# Is ACP body > Askar? (i ask because i already have the 26 stp with rose/chiv/brutal/rajas with no quick method of getting love torque. Should be quite a while before i get Ares/Aurum)

Food is Coeurl Subs atm, 8/8 Polearm merits.

Thasso
Rose Strap
Tiphia
Walahara
Chiv Chain
Assault/Fowling
Brutal Earring
ACP (10 ACC 2% Double Attack)
Homam Hands
Blitz Ring
Raja Ring
Foragers
Swift belt
Blitzer Poleyn (3 Haste 7 Acc)
Homam Feet

[drwaffles]

It's possible to get an ACP earring augmented with the exact same melee-based stats as Hollow, I don't see what's so special about it. Even if you don't think that's a viable alternative due to the random nature of augments, I don't see how an extra 2 DEX during the TP phase, some RACC and extra Enspell damage can possibly be considered superior to an item that gives a unique form of MP restoration, even if it only shows very small returns most of the time. Ethereal is a good idle piece for any job that uses MP, and also doubles as a decent free earring for TPing in high-accuracy situations.

[ikariiiii]

whats better? mkris or zaghnal? my girlfriend is leveling DRK and kclub seems far-fetched

[Stromgarde]

merc kris by a fairly wide margin that gets even bigger after the first 30 seconds.

1. With Coeurl Subs, you're not at capped cap for neither birds nor any other worthy mob. Change that to Pizza and you can keep the Blitz ring no problem.

If you're adamant about not using pizza, you have to make the following changes:
- Chiv Chain => PCC or L Torque
- ACP Body => ACP Body (10ACC + 4sTP)
- Foragers => Cuchulain Mantle

You still won't be capped, but it's much better than what you currently have. The only way to cap ACC on non-Colibri tier mobs is to use Pizza in most cases. This places you are 401 ACC (That is six short for Colibri, and variably less for other mobs).

2. This depends on what you did for (1). If you're still using subs, then you need as much ACC as you can obtain, so ACP will beat Askar. If you cannot change your body piece's stats, you can replace Chiv PCC, L Torque, or Ancient Torque, and use Echpo Ring.

If you made the change to Pizza, Askar + Pole Grip will win since the difference will come to (12ATT + 2% DA v 10ACC + 5DEX). Since Pizza will essentially cap your ACC, the DEX and ACC will be of little importance.

[matix]

So it's Faith > Q_Q Collar then Lleu's? I thought the AGI would pull it closer to Faith.

id put qq>faith>lleu for like tp dmg, ws dmg id put the lleu a bit higher for acc faith>lleu>qq; faith only drops of vs other rng torques, like say hope, since it has mnd and not agi
