What's Better?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Neither :c

[Nightfyre]

Shoulda guessed =\ Ah well.

[Rionel]

So from what I'm sensing, on the WS Hands topic:

1. Enkidu Mittens
2. Tarasque Mitts +1
3. Denali Gloves
4. Pallas's Bracelets?

I'm terribly sorry for the self-eye gouges I may have caused with my Anwig choice. I guiltily admit I do enjoy having a nice WS set for DNC (plus so many DNCs seem to not have a very good sense of gearing properly for such things which is utterly infuriating).

But yeah, I'll have to consider this. Thanks for the help! It's greatly appreciated.

[Tsuko_Asura]

For what its worth, I intend to get CHR/Waltz/STR/WSAcc as my augment when I do get around to finishing MKD.

That's... actually a pretty good compromise.

Man! I should have really thought this through better. Damn.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Credit for that goes to Thorn. I never would have considered having it double-up as my DE head otherwise.

Denali beats Tarasque +1 and probably also beats Enkidu's if you don't need the acc.

Nah, was actually the same logic I've been trying to use on myself :3 Really don't want to give it up because I'm not sure I can drag my LS out to SCNM and that leaves me with very few WS head options for my BLU

For what its worth, I intend to get CHR/Waltz/STR/WSAcc as my augment when I do get around to finishing MKD.

Hadn't thought about doing it that way... was planning on -enmity or maybe curepot as the second augment. Hmm. I might just do that too.

[Rionel]

Denali beats Tarasque +1 and probably also beats Enkidu's if you don't need the acc.

So Denali Gloves are really the end-all DNC WS hands for pure damage? That seems pretty anti-climactic... but if that's what's been proven. I'm pretty sure DNC doesn't need the ACC for hands as they have plenty of huge ACC pieces for WS.

For feet I have a feeling Rager Ledelsens from Walk of Echos is pretty much end-all too. But Walk of Echos involves giant groups so no go on that one.

Was thinking of making a Mirke Haubergeon for DNC as well with ACC+10 ATK+10, unless there's a better option to do. I'm so unsure now! It seems obvious to me but...

[Tsuko_Asura]

Denali Wristbands probably aren't the end of the line for Dancing Edge hands, but they do have the added bonus of being top-notch evasion hands. Inventory consolidation is always a plus.

Also, dancer should pretty much always be TPing in Raparree Harness. Your haste level is essentially always going to support it, and if your accuracy doesn't, change your food.

Edit: Unless you're still talking about WS, in which case I'd just stick with Aurore Doublet. My Mirke is EVA/FC >.>;

[Rionel]

Oh God I would never ever TP in such a thing. I meant for WS.

So what would be the end-all hands then? D: Sorry, I feel like I may be drawing this out a little too much.

Edit: Yup. I'm pretty sure Etoile Body beats Aurore Doublet, though that's just me sort of guessing based of the first glance. Mirke would have a +5 STR, +5 AGI advantage over Etoile Body with very slightly less attack, so...

Edit Edit: Wow, I would have never thought of a EVA/FC Mirke Body... how interesting.

[Nightfyre]

Mine's FC/Enmity \o/ Definitely not designed with DNC in mind lol

DNC hand WS options are kind of lacking; aside from the undiscovered Slither Gloves (small downgrade for WS, upgrade for eva, but no -DT) I don't really see any notable options that we haven't already mentioned.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Unrelated, but have either of you had any luck with Charis Necklace? I'm about ready to kill myself.

[Nightfyre]

No Haven't tried very hard though, working on a DA Khanda and it finishes with 30 Khalamari kills so I've been putting off actively pursuing Charis Necklace til I'm on that trial.

[Rionel]

Khalamari can seriously go fuck it's couch. S'being pretty stingy.

JSE necklaces/capes are pretty hard to get to drop... unless the "!!!" stuff is played with supposedly or you're just really lucky. I'm actually looking forward to see when that gets formally figured out.

The idea of having 45% DW with maxed Haste seems pretty wicked to me. Must keep trying...

[Tambor]

Seeing as people are talking about DNC gear I'd like any suggestions/upgrades I can make for mine. Abyssea'd from 39>80 so I don't have alot of level 75 gear specifically for DNC and it's mainly from my only other melee job BLU.

Merits: 5/8 Dagger, 5/5 Haste Samba, 5/5 Reverse Flourish, 4/5 NFR, 1/1 Fan Dance, 1/4 Saber Dance

Legs "Aurore Brais"
L.ring "Lava's Ring"

WS set really looks bad to me so looking for any advice for both sets.
ACP: Body is free to use on anything
MKD: Cure potency hat for WHM
ASA: Cure potency legs for WHM
I have completed AN but haven't picked up an earring so this is free aswell. Tamas atm but seriously considering dropping it for a Rajas for DNC.

Other question: Doing the OAT/2-3 path on dagger but I'm also thinking of leveling THF, which dagger would you guys do? Kinda sucks doing a dagger only for a different path to become better next update but they are pretty easy to do anyway so meh.

[Darkmagi]

Drop tamas for rajas. Tamas is easily replaceable and Rajas is priceless.

What's a good WS Belt for King's Justice?
Currently use Warrior's Stone (will get the new belt with +2 acc soon)
Should I be using something else?

Generally use KJ when bergressor up and RR when it's down.

[Innuendo]

For the purposes of DOT kiting, Helix merits or Modus Veritas merits?

I'd go with helix. MV's only once every ten minutes, and since a couple of patches ago has had a nasty tendency to miss altogether. I haven't been able to tell if it's just "wait long enough after applying helix to avoid missing" but even if it is that, MV's usefulness is being reduced.

Anguinus Belt? Drops from Kukulkan. I want it myself.
