What's Better?

[Massimo]

i dont recall the exact topic or w/e but i think sneak attack works on worms period until you have it's attention.

No.. worms aren't hard to SA if you actually take a second to look for it though.

[Enedin]

Been reading about this for a few hours now, but I'm still torn between...

Fusetto+1 WS dmg+10%
Fusetto+1 STP+13

For THF.

[Byrthnoth]

For Thief . . . I'm not sure. I don't know what the Thief-ly state of affairs is as far as TP gain at the moment, but my general opinion is that you don't want to out-TP your SA/TA timers, right? Maybe WS damage+10% for Thief.

Anyway, What's better for a dagger wielding job, Sanguine Scythe or Voracious Violet (paired with Razed Ruins of course)? fSTR is capped without VV (I only need +48 ) and my WS's mod is DEX, so the 50 STR from VV is only +25 Attack to me. Then it's likely 2% DA and 2TP/tick regain.

2% DA? I thought it was 10?

[Byrthnoth]

2% DA? I thought it was 10?

600+ rounds, parser shows a 22.4% DA rate on my WAR (10% base, 5% merits, 5% brutal, VV Atma). I think whoever posted that on wiki was eyeballing and optimistic.

For Ranger, no interest in Corsair;

Marksmanship
Spitfire+1 (High Dmg OAT) Vs. Spitfire+1(Occ. Deals Dbl. Dmg) Vs. Mayhem+1 (8Str 18 R.Att) Vs. Bedlam +1

Archery
Harrier+1 Vs. Condor+1(OAT High Dmg) Vs. Condor+1(Occ. Deals Dbl. Dmg) Vs. Bateleur +1(8Str 18 R.Att) Vs. Siege Bow

Which would be the best choice within the categories? A flow of usefulness would help most (A > B > C) if anyone fancies them self a math wizz at ranger and cares to help me out. I have 8/8 Marks and will not be meriting Archery if that has any meaning to the choice. Have been asking those I know but would like outside input as well.

I would like to know which is the best choice as well.

Hmm I'll have to go fuck with it myself w/ 0 DA gear on when I have a chance.

[Byrthnoth]

I found another parse that showed 24% DA with 800 rounds, but I don't remember if I was /SAM with Pole that time.

Does this Gear set have to much Acc?

And if so would you first switch to Blitz Ring + Perle Hands or Swap out Ebody for Grim Cuirass?

[Raen Ryong]

Perfect WAR TP would be a 5hit (if possible); look into achieving 5hit with Aurum Cuirass/Goading Belt if it's doable, too lazy to do the math. Pole Grip > Danger Grip for any not naked WAR, Blitz Ring if necessary to cover the Haste gap otherwise can use Strigoi on most mobs, etc.

EDIT: Didn't notice the Haste overflow ;o wasn't counting honestly.

[KSDI]

That set has 28 haste...

[Massimo]

WAR also can't wear Kemas <_< Terrible set.

The first thing I notice is that you have 28% Haste and a somewhat random STP target. Everyone take note:

Spoiler: show

That set needs more Askar Hat

If you just do the above (26% Haste), you'll be better off than Blitz+Perle.

i desperatly need to do a trial great katana, is ws+10% still the best one?

Raidennotachi+1 or bust.

[Tribe]

Just got kema's yesterday and kinda sad I cant use it on War, seems useless on Samurai when im already using Brutal + Bushi. Currently I only have +1 feet / legs at 4/6 Leg stones 2/6 feet.

[mcb]

Raidennotachi+1 or bust.

what is raidennotachi+1? search doesn't pop up that name on any of the sites.

[Raenil]

He meant Hiradennotachi +1.

awww, was hoping for something more do able. sam isn't my main.

[Raenil]

WSDMG+10% is the next best if you can 5-hit it. Otherwise STP+10 5-hit.

I think, anyway.
