What's Better?

[Esvedium]

Also while I'm at it.. Is the Kila+2 with STR+9 Attack+20 worth it for Thf? Or stick with the DEX one?

I have one of each, and use both when DD'ing (xp, etc), and switch between STR and DEX one depending on if I think I need the Acc or not. Old content, I use STR, for sure, since Acc isn't an issue with the level increase.

Augurs Gaiters is on my get list atm. I still use yigit feet for max nuke damage.

Theurgia Clogs, T2 VNM in Abyssea-Konchstat, easy fight and common drop

I think when people did the maths @85, the Kamome worked out to beat the Enchu options. It'd be interesting to see new numbers now that the Enchu stats have all been updated @90.

+10% crit. dmg/lower delay beats OAT2-3? Is that only when using Atma?

Edit: And I don't remember, can double attack proc on Occ. Atk. hits?

Only with Jailer weapons.

ideal suggestions for quietus set up?

ACP Body for MNK, what stats should I pick in this day and age?
Or would Shura be better? I have both.

Since I'm almost eligible to enter Shinryuu BC, what should I consider as an offhand for Twilight Knife for DNC TP gain from the following Magian options:

Kila +1 STR/Attack -> +2

or

Fusetto +1 WSDMG -> +2 TP Bonus or WSDMG?

ATT+DA or ATT+Crit rate, either works about the same, and both are pretty solid options, and a bit better than Shura.

Well first of all, a +2 Kila should be in your mainhand if you're gonna be using one since it has more base damage, second of all Auric Dagger or OA2-4 times.

Oh for some reason, I was thinking Twilight was 44DMG and Kila was 41. What is your reasoning behind those other choices? The 5% delay reduction on Auric is kind of offset by the fact that it's more delay than both the Kila and the Fusetto (not to mention DNC has plenty of delay reduction choices in other slots), and since the Twilight Knife gives me "Quadruple attack", why would I waste the other slot on a low-damage multi-hit weapon? The reason I mentioned Kila/Fusetto is because I already have those, but if you can reasonably convince me those other options are worth it, I'll look into it.

Martial Gun or MAB magian gun for Leaden Salute?

[Khidir]

I'm not good with math or more specifically dealing with stp but I probrably know the answer to these questions

minatan +1(2) > lofti kaftan for tp?

inside and outside abbsyea assuming for inside omega/rr/mm

[Fallyn]

Martial Gun or MAB magian gun for Leaden Salute?

Inclined to say MAB.

If that's Mavi Mintan then yes, the haste will outweigh the store tp, especially with haste belt/hands/feet/legs.

[Deader2818]

So, taking up ninja again but wasnt sure if I should be focusing on stacking STR or DEX for Jin? Like, would I use V Helm or AF3+1 head and Byakkos or usu legs?

In abyssea ofc. I assume SS, GH, RR for atmas.

Martial Gun or MAB magian gun for Leaden Salute?

I might be incorrect about the MAB calculations, but if not, it should favor the MAB gun. Note that MAB' is the MAB gained from MAB gun.

(Rest of formula)*(MAB')
(Rest of formula)*(MAB)

Reduces to (MAB'/MAB)

MAB' = MAB+9, so you can write it as (9+X/X)

fTP from Martial is (4.25/4) according to the fTP listing on wiki.

(9+X/X) = (4.25/4)
(9+X/X) = 1.0625
(9+X)=1.0625X
9=0.0625X
X = 144

Equal at 144MAB before gun. More MAB favors Martial. Less MAB favors MAB gun.

Edit: This is all assuming the mob's MDB=1.

[AlexRuzhyo]

Having no idea really which is better for a nuke: 5 MAB or 10 INT for an Automaton?

aka afv2 VS afv3+1 feet.

[Brake]

Kogara vs Hochomasamune for main-hand on Nin? Off-hand would be Kamome.

Edit: Just saw that DEX/STR path Sekka+2 might beat them both.

Doesn't actually matter on Mob MDB.

If the mob has MDB (say MDB 24 from RDM), the MAB damage that's getting compared is (MAB+.09)/(1.24) vs (MAB/1.24). When you divide *those* by one another, the MDBs cancel out, leaving MAB exactly as relatively effective regardless of mob MBD.

Good call.
