    I have 19% Double Attack while maintaining 26% haste. I've been trying to get +2% Double Attack, which would boost me to 20% DA, on my ebody with no success. I really want to make use of the AF3+2 set bonus equipment. I need a better ring I think. Also need to +2 my hands. Advice?

    Should I try spamming the VW NM that drops Anger Bomblet?


    If you are going to 6hit, switch to a sword strap, it will do far more damage for you then pole grip. The set bonus isn't good, don't gear with it in mind.

    Some people in my ls were arguing for Radiant Mail+Fazheluo Helm +1 set over Armadaberk (6 stp/3 da) + Zelus set. I did a quick comparison (no maffs, just a comparison) and didn't see the Mail/Helm winning, but I wanted to post it here because it's quite possible I missed or undervalued something trying to quickly run through it while doing VW.

    input /equip body "Fazheluo R. Mail";
    input /equip head "Fazheluo Helm +1";

    Radiant Mail set

    50 str
    80 atk
    10 stp
    20 da
    25 acc
    14 dex

    vs Ebody set

    43 str
    63 atk
    25 dex
    15 stp
    19 da
    2 ta
    25 dex
    38 acc

    Most people mentioned the double attack set bonus as the reason mail/helm was better, but with 19 da (34 with base da) + 2 ta vs 20 da (35 with base da), Ebody set gets 3 possible extra swings per 100. Ebody set is less likely to over tp (waiting for moonshade tics) and has a more solid 6 hit (can miss the second swing of Ukkos and still hit 100 tp), more accuracy for non fodder mobs, and can use moonshade for ws.

    Aside from a marginal boost to damage per swing, which loses to swing frequency with E body set, I can't see what makes Radiant Mail set better. Did I miss something, or do people just like it because it's new/different?

    Agree with Sword Strap, with the caveat that it does nothing if delay reduction capped so keep your buffs in mind. For your 5-hit, why Tactical + Jingang instead of Atheling + Ace's?

    I've been playing Thief pretty much non stop in the past 2 weeks, I only do inside stuff since it's just a group of like 5 including myself farming seals and trying to make weapons. I'm taking a real like to Thief and do have plans of making a Twashtar at some point. Posting up what I currently use, unfortunately I don't have enough posts for the pics to show up so a re-post would be greatly appreciated. Just looking for some advice in what I should change in my set up Atma's used most of the time are RR,GH,Apoc.

    When I do manage to use Bully I use the WS set just swap rancor with Love torque and back piece with cuchulains. Thanks for the help in advance :D

    Low delay and less damage = more opportunities for procs, duh.

    Heca Cap can get some pretty nice augments, I'd suggest looking into that as soon as possible. Would also suggest mixing some haste back into your eva set, I'd imagine you're well past eva cap on most anything you'd THF tank.

    I still keep a full evasion set, but Nightfyre's right, a Haste/Evasion hybrid is a very worthwhile set to get. This is mine:
    http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...006_225746.png
    +49 Evasion (+74 with Wind Kila)
    +26% Haste
    +21 Subtle Blow. (/Nin + Auric dagger = 46 SB)

    Thanks a lot for the repost. Back on topic now, I do have an auric dagger I don't know why I never use it, would be a good replacement for Rapidus I assume. I've only been back to the game for a few weeks so I'm not too sure how the sky augs work but I definitely am on the look out for a -1 cap. Hope you don't mind if I cookie cutter your hybrid set, just need to do a usurper. Another question I've had looming is the debate of whether or not triplus dagger is efficient inside Abyssea. I've heard yes and no all over but you two seem to know what you're doing so I'll take your word for it.

    Get a triplus while you work on a STR Kila. In which case you can either do STR Kila/Triplus or offhand Twilight. Other than those two you're looking at a second magian Knife, Oneiros or Coruscanti and the latter 2 are bitches to get (mostly depending on droprate from VW, but Oneiros is just straight dick to get.)

    I assume that ws set was for evis, in which case inside abyssea Aias bonnet is probably better.

    Suppa. Suppa. Suppa. Suppa. Suppa. Suppa. Suppa. That is the only earring worth a damn, and it can be solo'd by an Ochain pld, and pretty much duo'd by any DD/WHM.

    Also dusk feet +1 instead of homam but I realize not everybody can be a baller like me. And +7 dex ring. Other than that looks solid.

    I have no idea which is better for damage between Auric and Rapidus offhand. Kila/Triplus is a fairly solid combo though. I was lead to believe Triplus was better than Twilight for offhand. On a lot of NMs Twilight's add effect rate seems to drop from 100% to 30%~ for me.
    Your evis set looks identical to mine except for Airy>Thundersoul, Lithe>Hecatomb and Agasaya's>Love. Hecatomb simply because I'm doing more outside abyssea stuff at the moment (Though might swap to Agrona's untill I pick up +1 and augment them).

    Yeah just waiting for a full moon to get the KI so I can re-acquire earring, had a Bushi before since I was main SAM pre-abyss. I might just dish out the 500k for Thundersoul, not like I have much to spend on. I also have heca feet but I was uncertain which gave best results so I went for the full DEX instead. I don't have Agasaya's sadly, what you see there is Rancor collar which I hope is a good choice and yes my tonberry hate is capped

    Err, WAR can't use Hagneia Stone. And that set with a White Tathlum and STP+6 Armadaberk would be 83.85TP after 5 hits, means you need ~27STP in WS to have your 6hit with a single hit Ukko's(going with the bare minimum). With /sam that would be Rajas, Brutal and then you would still have to use the Armadaberk, which isn't the best but if you have to I guess.

    You could switch to Tyrant's Ring for TPing in the Ebody set as well if you want to keep the Ninurta's in, but the rest seems ok. I wouldn't use the Radiant set at all.

    Rancor is gonna be your best bet. Only reason I haven't got one yet is poor AH timing.
    I think Lithe vs Hecatomb is: If fstr capped, lithe, else, hecatomb? In abyssea you're prolly going to be fstr capped against damn near everything, so i'd stick with lithe (Like i said, i've just been doing more outside stuff recently).

    Sparing EVA/Hybrid set since it's typically the same as it is for Thief. My main concern is WS equip, I'm not too sure if I'm in the right direction however I would like to optimize until I decide to work on a Kannagi. Thank you once again in advance :]

    TP: Usu feet and Twilight belt. Other than that good. More STP, more attack, more double attack etc.

    Jin: Okotes, Centaurus Earring, af3+2 body, I /think/ anguinus belt beats ele belt. Perhaps Aias bonnet but I never actually mathed that out vs. V helm.

    EDIT: Also for Jin, Atheling. >_>

    So is there a thread somewhere where I can see some actual evidence of a 6 hit and a 5 hit being on par with eachother? This just doesn't sound right.
