What's Better?

[Imoq]

O. Hat or V. Helm for :Jin, assuming RR + Alpha-Omega atma?

O. Hat or perle or V. Helm for Vorpal Blade, assuming RR + MM atma?

What would be better alternatives for those two WS?

[Yvonne]

Would TP Bonus+25 out perform +2~4 STR in the Earring slot? Assuming for Fudo.

[Mercilessturtle]

Nah I don't but I'm guessing that the OA2-4 axe probably out does Ridill now.

Probably not, 6 less damage and much higher delay. The spread on 2-4 would have to be pretty good to beat ridill, which isn't likely considering how bad the 2-3 was/is. That said, I think the whole "dual wield will be good" thing was wishful thinking.

[Nightfyre]

DWIII being relevant actually works regardless of the haste cap thing since DWIII can't exceed cap unless you're using a second piece of DW gear (other than Suppa). Might still be relevant for non-Ukko's Fury WARs, I don't know.

[orson]

The funny part is DW isn't even that helpful for proc weaknesses. So probably not worth the effort to bother with a specific DW set.

Varangian for both, for exp fodder mobs. Varangian on most NMs, too. Only time to use O.hat is on highly evasive NMs like Tunga, acc is a non-issue for 99% of Abyssea content.

The 200% ftp and the STR mod on Fudo are still unknown on lolwiki, not sure if anyone's posted them here, yet. That being said, assuming it's at least 50% STR (which it really should be), and fSTR is capped on WS, and assuming the 200% TP is halfway between the 100% and 300% (4.70), then 25 TP bonus raises your ftp by ~0.26.

So you're comparing raising your ftp by a quarter, or 4 STR. I don't think that's even a competition really.

[Byrthnoth]

It'd be about a 5% increase in fTP, actually. (5/4.75)

Anyway, Dual wield WAR/NIN is probably better than GA WAR/NIN. If you can sub SAM, obviously you do.

PS. Please never mention OA2-3 or OA2-4 weapons as DD options... especially for WAR. DA+10%, STR/Atk Axe, DEX/Acc Axe, STP Axe are the four winrars probably.

speaking of dual wield on war, I currently have 1 str/attack axe done what should I go with as my 2nd axe? Dont know if i feel like doing the DA one, is ridill still viable? and if it is what makes the oa2-4 axe not a good choice? And if Ridill is best option what would be next best aside from DA one to go with my 1 str axe

Ridill is higher base damage, lower delay, and a better multi-hit split than the axe. That being said, it's not even that great of an option anymore, a DA axe would absolutely destroy it. I wouldn't be surprised if just a normal magian axe beat it, too.

[Fievel]

Seeing as faith torque breaks a h2h skill tier again, whats better for Ascetics Fury in abyssea? gorget or torque?

[Pozcat]

Anguinus belt VS Warwolf belt for Raging Rush/Ascetic's Fury
Inside Abyssea with VV/RR, capped acc

[Tahona]

wrong thread.

[Malacite]

Finally getting around to capping all my merits on all my jobs, and can't decide on how to spend my last 5 merits on SAM.

Overwhelm is 5/5, but should I do say, 1 Shikikoyo & 4 Blade Bash, or all-in for 1 or the other or what? I was semi-tempted to do Ikishoten until I noticed the Superior Zanshin Atma (to take advantage of AF3 and all the other retarded Zanshin gear that SE keeps throwing at us) is for beating PW so yeah.... F that noise lol.

[Clash Perez]

If you're going to use Zanshin: Superior atma, you might as well merit Ikishoten, too.

I hear Blind Potions work wonders with Zanshin builds.

I can't wait to see your Masamune/Zanshin build. Assuming you can make it past those dastardly second-tier VNMs, of course.

Spoiler: show

5/5 Blade Bash, unless you absolutely have to give your TP away. An extra stun is too useful to pass up.

[ccf]

I'm new here, hope this is the right thread to ask this question:

What's better: sumeru +2 either dmg6+ ws damage +10% or tp bonus +100

I have RR/VV. I am guessing it depends which weaponskill is being used? or is one better than the other for all GAX usual weaponskills for warriror?

Thanks.

[Massimo]

With RR and VV you'll be using Raging Rush, which has a crit rate TP modifier. WSDMG.

[Villian]

How about 2 DA axes? Can wield +2/+1 DA axe for +19 DA vs ridill? Was thinking

DA axe/axe
ravager/ravager/brutal/suppa
tirmali/tirmali/rajas/blitz
Atheling/bullwhip/ravager/ravager

With RR/GH/DD you should be at 95% crit rate, 50% DA, 26% gear haste.

Edited.

[Samonez]

WHM Melee.


WS Damage + Magic Club or TP Bonus Magian Club?


I'm pretty sure it's the WS Damage one, but I just wanna make sure.

bumping up for answer.

[Khajit]

Molva maul is better.

[Soho]

So now that we know how the Crit Atmas are working, what's going to be the ideal three to use on DRG?
