yea my GS skill is 100 away from cap LOL so thats about 100 att and shitload of acc missing....
i didnt eat any food as well for skill up and mobs i hit varies from detectors to marids to buffalos including some shivas(helping friend to get colorless souls) and a couple of buffalo NM for friends NIN hand seal. I kinda miss alot of WS on detectors cos they are IT at the point of time (damn 1 hti WS -_-)
average for the entire 3 hours of skill up is about 2.1k torcleaver, which really isnt bad at all for my case. I will run a extensive specific mob parse when i manage to cap this shit...gained 30 levels so im still a long way away to cap ;(
even my scythe is 24 skill off the cap....so hard to skill up sigh. hope mid feb patch work wonders
as for WS gears, im using:
input /equip legs "Bale flanchard +2" (looking for good VIT legs to outdo the mad str and att this gives)
input /equip head "Twilight Helm" (best i can find, most str and vit a piece can offer)
input /equip Hands "Perle Moufles" (lol best i can find too for now)
input /equip Feet "Bale Sollerets +2" (9 str can be easily replacable as well, looking for vit feet)
input /equip Body "Twilight Mail" (best i can find, most str and vit a piece can offer)
input /equip Ear2 "Brutal Earring" (this shit sucks, i need to get a vit earring lol DA torcleaver only gives extra like 200 damage)
input /equip Neck "Breeze Gorget"
input /equip Ring1 "Spiral Ring" (best i can find, most str and vit a piece can offer)
input /equip Waist "Breeze Belt"
input /equip Ring2 "Rajas Ring" (just to keep some STP on and str

a 6-7 vit ring is prolly better i bet)
input /equip Ear1 "Bale Earring" (go for vit earring maybe?)
input /equip Back "Atheling Mantle" (this shit sucks too lol like brutal DA dont do shit, i may find a vit piece)
input /equip Ammo "Fire Bomblet" (im sure a bibiki seashell is better)
above gears is what i use for catastrophe lol(except for neck and waist) and they have decent dex and acc so i dont miss much on WS as i am skilling up. ALot of gears can be work on but like i said for now, 2.1k average with the above skillup gear and being severly under-skilled sounds pretty decent to me
because im still not capped, i havent really buy the desired vit gears that dont compromise too much STR. Dont wanna hurt my bag space just yet >_<
2H WS ALOT more than 1H. and the double damage crit is insane i can tell yer ^^
