What's Better?

[richardd]

what are some good peices of gear for blade jin's head and hand peices?

assuming you have the dex atma active, would the anwig salade with STR+4/WS acc+ 15 and DEX+4/crit+2 % or WS+2% be better than the iga head +2 with 10 dex? and will bando kotes beat out nin/koga tekko+1 even with berserk active?

[Bootykilla]

DMG+7 or TP Bonus 100 on Sumeru+1 (GA)

I got this info off the WotG thread and was wondering if anything is worth getting.

Really disappointing after a 3 year wait, but I really wanna make the most of it. Any tips or possible combos?

Also, what does "Occ. grants dmg bonus based on TP +5%" mean? Does that only proc on WS or normal swings?
*Latent still unconfirmed.

Trying to perfect my WAR TP set with the limited playtime I have. Was thinking to go with this:

Bravura90 / Rose Strap / White Tathlum
Ravager's Mask +2 / Ravager's Gorget / Brutal Earring / Ravager's Earring
Timaril Jawshan / Timaril Dastanas / Raja's Ring / Blitz Ring
Atheling Mantle / Bullwhip Belt / Ravager's Cuisses +2 / Ravager's Calligae +2

Any other options/builds I´m overlooking? Thx for any suggestions.

What would be better?

Yeah, you should definitely be going for a 5-hit these days. I'm too tired to start putting shit together for a Bravura now, but there's a ton of new STP stuff out since we were 75.

Aias Bonnet is best for jin atm, Switch anwig to mdt-2%, hands nin tekko+1 or af3+2(Hachiryu works as well)

[Yugl]

4% DA v 4STR for Drakesbane. Assume capped fSTR + 10% DA at minimum.

[Raenil]

Pretty sure DA wins. But it's fairly close either way.

hey thanks man i owe you one. i didnt even know those existed. hard to catch up with this game.... its a whole new game now

[Kuishen]

What's the current hierarchy for GKs now? I don't have the willpower/organization to get a Masamune, but getting the WoE path is definitely doable. At the same time, would that beat out the STP GK? or the new super-hagun? Just want to know what to work towards so I'm not wasting my time. I don't play sam unless it's with a polearm cause I don't have a good GK anymore (all I have is a hagun and started work on the stp one), so would like to know what my best options are.

Even with TP bonus weaponskills like Y/G/K and Spinning Slash seem to 'cap out' damage pretty low and given fudo seems perfectly capable of averaging 2k outside of abyssea (?) Fudo GKT should destroy anything Y/G/K.

[Mrbeansman]

Tp bonus Keitonotachi or ws dmg?

[Andradi]

Assuming the bonus is still +10% at 90 and you usually use Y/G/K, TP bonus. If I recall correctly the tp bonus adds roughly 20% damage to those weaponskills.

for ninjutsu dmg...

HQ staves vs 2x INT/MAB Katanas (current max is INT+9 MAB+10)

[Byrthnoth]

for ninjutsu dmg...

HQ staves vs 2x INT/MAB Katanas (current max is INT+9 MAB+10)

HQ staff is +15% damage.

5+7+8+3 = 23 MAB is the best set I can think of for Ninja at the moment
1.43/1.23 = +16% damage, and 18 INT to boot.

So, assuming resist rate isn't an issue, a pair of capped out nuking Katanas should be better. I'm unsure how Ninja MAcc works, but it seems likely that INT+18 would be competitive with MAcc+15 too. If you're subbing RDM or in Abyssea with more MAB, it starts to favor RDM:

23 MAB from gear, 80 MAB from Atma, 24 MAB from sub = 127 MAB pre-weapons
2.47/2.27 = +~9% damage, and 18 INT.

So in Abyssea, when you're using your Atmas for nuking-related purposes, HQ Staff will be better.

[Tortalius]

woudl the 50 int from minnikin compete with beyond at all since you can't just spam ice again and again?

[Me2217]

Which Atma setup would be the best for a vereths MNK? RR/VV or RR/GH? and with 3 lunars, when it happens, RR/VV/GH?

[Cream Soda]

Which Atma setup would be the best for a vereths MNK? RR/VV or RR/GH? and with 3 lunars, when it happens, RR/VV/GH?

in terms as of before Monday, yes.

Currently, we don't have all the information on the new atma, so can't rly give an answer to that.
