What's Better?

[Byrthnoth]

They're both worse evasion pieces than AF2 hands, but at least Denali Wristbands serve a second purpose.

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.

I would recommend Bobcat's belt since both accuracy and attack shouldn't be an issue with bergressor up. It does have -6 attack but is completely offset by the 8 str, which is +6 attack. The store tp shouldn't be an issue since you are using a multihit, so this should give you the best damage.

15 att 15 acc 1%DA belt is good but is probably better for RR in your case.

What's Better:

Jobs:

80 Monk: Byakko's Haidate (Shura Haidate for WS)
80 Blm: Teal Slops for Nukes
80 Ranger: Aurore Braise (for TP, WS, and Barrage)
80 Summoner: Summoner's Spats for BP

What ASA legs should I get and which Augments?
I play Blm and Monk the most. Summoner somewhat, and Ranger hardly ever.

I am thinking either:

a.) Blm Pants with Magic Critical Hit rate and Magic Burst Damage +10% for those times where I know I will be MB'ing and I can swap them in for my Teal Slops.

or

b.) Monk pants with Movement Speed + and Phys Def -4 for Oshit set. (Can sell my Hermes then and pocket 800-900k since I believe they don't stack)

or

c.) Ranger Pants with Barrage +1 and Movement Speed +12% for those rare times I play Ranger. (I believe the Barrage +1 will stack with my Hunter's Bracer's +1, right?)

I cant think of any use for Summoner. I use Wind Blade more than Predator Claws since its 5/5 and I have max Avatar MAB merits. Plus I have Summoner's Bracers which from what I understand don't stack with Evoker's Spats anyway.

I know I can always change pants later, but this final mission is a real bitch and I would rather not have to do it again.


Any help is appreciated. My thanks in advance(d).

Its 8% movement

Yeah don't sell sandals for asa legs. 12%>8%

how does evasion 5 beat out eva skill +6?

[Nightfyre]

AGI+3 might have something to do with it, though I'd still favor Denali as at best that's only 1 eva over the wristbands.

[Atoreis]

how does evasion 5 beat out eva skill +6?

5 eva + 3 agi ~ 6.5 eva
6 eva skill ~5.5 eva

Thats how.

[nyaraa]

5 eva + 3 agi ~ 6.5 eva
6 eva skill ~5.5 eva

Thats how.

ah i missed the agi, but could i have the link that shows the math/testing or w/e for eva skill vs eva? i have never seen that.

so excluding masamune, the 30 coin GKT, and the high damage oat one. Is Hyogugusarinotachi (the 89 DMG Str +6 Attack + 20) the best magian GKT?

The Hyogugusarinotachi (Fire path), Radennotachi (pre masamune stage), and Keitonocahi (stp) are all very close.

5 hit probably comes ahead of other alternatives in some situations, behind in others (zerg, etc).

However we dont know how each path will branch with future update (will stp get further base damage and stp?).

A safe bet would be fire GK, as you have a pretty good idea what the next upgrade will be.

A completionist would work on Masamune while keeping a fire Magians + stp magians for use before Masamune complete.

[Castellano]

I see, thanks.

As far as the masamune goes I dont think I'll even bother trying to go for one. Dont think I'll ever be able to attain it. However I do plan on going for the WoE Coins weapon

i know this question has been asked a few times now but im still unsure

whats better for YGK Foragers or Smilodon mantle+1?

[Dooom]

Smilo+1

[Darkmagi]

Depends on target really. Anything with really high def your better off using forager's, otherwise smilo+1.

[Kyte]

Depends more on the WS. You can pretty much always use Smilodon+1 on Gekko, but Kasha and especially Yuki need more attack.

[travOtaku]

For 70 DNC TP: Zeal Cap (ACC/ATK+2 Haste+1%) vs. Optical Hat

Assume capped dagger skill, and +33 ACC/+8% Haste from gear. Using ACC food (Pizza or otherwise) isn't a problem.

[Neosutra]

You're asking whether you want 1% haste or 10 acc.... when acc is capped?

Really?

[travOtaku]

+33 ACC in gear as a 70 DNC means capped accuracy, assuming I'm eating pizza? I don't have a parser, so I didn't know that. Maybe that makes me ignorant, but I don't really parse much because I'm usually level synced so my gear can't be measured against mobs of the same level. Also, I just came back from a long break, so I didn't even know about pizza until like a day or two ago, and didn't realize how much of a game changer it seems to be.

Forgive me for my stupid question, then.

[Neosutra]

Depends on what you're fighting, but you said "acc isnt a problem due to pizza/sushi" so it seems like you made your decision already.
