What's Better?

[Mercilessturtle]

Having higher double attack makes pole grip worth even less. Don't aim to stack double attack, put it in places where you can't put anything better.

DA GAxe/Rose Strap//Ravager's Orb
Turban/Agasaya's/Brutal/Assault
Aurum/Timarli/Rajas/Hoard
Belenos/Goading/AF3+2/AF3+2

Capped Haste, 5-hit

[TheDirtyHobo]

My bad on that DA% was a bit off since I didn't map it out.

DA Gaxe/Pole(2%)/white tath
AF+2(4%)/rav gorget (2%)/Brutal(5%)/attalia
Timarli/Timarli/Rajas/Hoard
Tactical mantle/Goarding/AF+2(5%)/AF+2

3% from cap gear haste. Can cap haste with bullwhip belt/blitz ring. Not sure how much stp gears you need for 6 hits with regain(2tp/tic) atma.

Or you could drop Timarli body, give it to a job that needs it, and just use Walahra turban, Veloce if you want to drop Timarli hands down to dusk, too. Frees up body slot for something that's actually useful like Aurum. I cannot think of any situation where you would willingly TP with empyrean head, Head is one of the biggest haste slot for every job, sacrificing it for 4% DA is just stupid. With double marches, haste, and that gear, that last 3% haste to cap from gear effectively increases your melee DoT by 6.5%; add in Haste Samba and Hasso from a real subjob, and a 3% difference shoots your DoT up by 11.6%.

Now, I don't know anything about WAR, but does it ABSOLUTELY NEED that accuracy from Assault Earring? If not, wouldn't Aesir be a better option? If so, I shuts up now.

No, not really, but also, if they're going to assume such a high delay GAX, you really might be better dropping Rose for Sword, and stacking STP on some of the unused spots. Tactical mantle, Almah torque, White tathlum, Attila's earring should be enough to keep a 5-hit with VV, though the TP loss on WS could hurt pretty bad.

[Villian]

Thanks, I was thinking of timarli body/af3 hat because they looks cool. But I guess I'll have to use the other set for 5 hits /sam. Praying for good stats/looking on body/hands AF3 ._.. Just need belt/mantle/Gaxe/+2legs now.

[Mithrazz]

Wizard Petasos+1 or Teal Chapeau

[Neisan]

Teal because -enmity and mp don't matter enough to sacrifice INT. Demon Helm+1 > Wizard Petasos +1.

[Shalafi]

What's better for PUP:

Taipan Fangs +1, not sure what to augment to benefit master
OR
Barracudas +1 with WS DMG +10%
OR
Something else (that's not mythic or empyrean)?

[Aja]

Apparently I don't know what I should look at when I use the calculator to figure out which gear is better, so I'm going to ask you!

For Thf85/Nin and say I use Kila+1 and TK:

Turban/Love/Brutal/Suppa
MirkeDW+3/Homam/Rajas/Vulcan
Foragers/Velocious/Skadi/Ballerines

or

Turban/Love/Brutal/Suppa
Rapparee/Homam/Rajas/Vulcan
Foragers/Velocious/Raiders+1/Ballerines

[Aja]

Also for Dancer: Moogle Hat with waltz timer-2 or relic head?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Moogle

Golden rule of healing is that speed always trumps efficiency. More often than not, you're going to end up overcuring/overlapping cures. The only thing that matters is curing someone before they drop.

[Aja]

Alright, that's what I was thinking as well. Thanks^^

[GeneJackit]

For Leaden Salute:

Gorget (Soil/Shadow/Light) or Uggy?

[Castellano]

for evasion setup on nin

Hachiryu feet: agi +10 eva +5
vs
Emissary Boots: Evasion skill +5 Parrying skill +5

[Byrthnoth]

I'm of the opinion that the long-standing Evasion vs. Evasion Skill argument is total bullshit. 1 Evasion Skill = 1 Evasion = 2 AGI.

Also, Parrying Skill +5 is going to do jack shit for your rate. I parse 5% rate on VT/IT mobs on WAR, and 10% rate on EP mobs when I'm well over the skill cap on them for my level. They recently raised the level cap, so your Parrying Skill is probably uncapped (assuming it was capped before). Just stick to Evasion, I'd say. Hachiryu ftw.

[Castellano]

and another question?!

do we like GH or VV for nin? or is GH + RR for Blade: hi onry?

if your not going with OAT claws, i recommend str taipans for the master. unless your low on dex, the str should benefit your ws more, and the 18 atk never hurts due to pups low natural attack.

Definitely VV if you're not already capping fSTR.

STR or Pet MAB Occ aren'y great for pup and the ws one isn't bad but not as great as 8 str and 18 att
