What's Better?

[Neisan]

Just got a Cavaros Mantle last night... is it worth using over Amemet +1? Wiki has it listed as only +3% crit damage...

From what I believed Thorny posted Earlier, Cavaros will outperform Forager's if you have RR, not too sure on GH but if dDEX is capped I get the feeling it will there too.

EDIT: I believe this assumed a crit WS if that matters

Amemet +1

1. Forager's costs like 150-200k.
2. You didnt write what job and for what purpose and you expecting help.

K thnx, cuz I have morri, eradico and hq sor mitts so I was kinda curious since i'm tryin to optimize my blm. I still have HQ af1 hands (idky nemore ;p) for ele dots and for teh random HNM that comes
up tho i should probably drop em or put them in storage for posterity lol. Although I still seem to get a higher avg of dmg from morri. probably due to the sexxy balance of macc & mab... But, I guess
every situation is and will be different lol so yeah thnx for the response

For WAR & THF, sorry. And why the crap would I even bother with Forager's at this point when it's a crappy +1 STR more than my Amemet +1? Not really a great investment in terms of cost vs gains, particularly with all those sweet new accessories that drop in Abyssea.

For atmas, what is the order of Minikin + Baying Moon vs. Minikin + Heavens vs. Heavens + Baying Moon for damage?

[Byrthnoth]

Minikin + Baying Moon.

Togi+1 vs Usu body in abyssea (capping fstr and acc). basically 6 stp vs 22 attack

Id say it depends on your hit build, aswell as the buffs your getting. For some reason I wanna say togi +1 most of the time, but im
Learning about hazmat shit right now in class so can't say honestly

[Malacite]

Keep in mind there are two Atma called Atma of the Heavens. I'm assuming you meant the Windurst one right?

Is Baying Moon (I have both) really better than Heavens? You're trading 20 MAB for 10 more INT and 5 more refresh, which seems like a good enough trade off to me. For straight up spike damage yeah Baying Moon is obviously better, but with 15/tic auto-refresh you'd be pretty hard pressed to run out of MP anytime soon.

looking at weapons for blu. currently i have shamshir+1/perdu hanger. would it be better to get another shamshir or trial a str or dex sword?

[youngatheart]

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.

Can any math wizards explain which gun is better?

I don't really understand what you're asking- the way you're wording it it sounds like you're asking if a Shamshir would be better than a Shamshir.

Guessing you made a typo so I'll say STR Shamshir.

i have shamshir+1/perdu right now. i'm looking to get another weapon to replace the perdu. so i'm asking would it be better to trial another shamshir +1 or the str or dex swords

Outside of abyssea another str sword
Inside abyssea, does not matter.

Okay I guess you just don't get it. The STR and DEX swords are Shamshir+1's

Why would you use Atma of the Baying Moon over Atma of the Beyond? They both offer the same amount of MAB, and on top of that Beyond buffs up your blizzard spells as well.

Asking the question without including it as an option implies that it isn't one; i.e., he probably doesn't have it yet.

Guys might be a dumb question: for MNK tp and ws(asuran), aurore doublet or shura togi?I have a abjuration, but not sure for shura togi.Also considering +1 only if reallllly it's awesome, since I could buy better things with my money.If aurore is better what job could use shura best?°_°
