drk fucked again. news at 11. ><

thanks kirshy ~

[Massimo]

How is DRK fucked again? It's better than what most DDs get. For example, WAR has to DA, SAM has to miss and Zanshin, just having to hit it with full-ish HP isn't that bad. The proc rate sucks for all jobs as it is, but it's likely to raise to at least 5~% with more pieces.

[Byrthnoth]

2 of DRK's 3 AF3+2 pieces don't have Haste. Their feet are a goddamned nuking piece.

Still pretty unrelated to his comment about Kirschy's testing <_<

Until SE reveals their 10% Haste body, it means right now they'll responsibly TP in 1 of the 3 pieces. I doubt that the AF3+2 set bonus is justification for using it as a Cata set.

DRK is fucked due to their lack of a crit WS using updated weapons. See recent comparisons to Bard DD.

You're not getting me. I know DRK sucks ass right now. His comment was about the set bonus and proc rate, which is what I was responding to. Not DRK in general. Unless, of course, he suddenly realized that DRK sucks and can't allow themselves to wear 2 +2 pieces for TPing, and felt the need to state it.

[Byrthnoth]

Ah, you're making the distinction between DRK being fucked by their set and DRK being fucked by their set bonus. It'll be interesting to see how (and if) these set bonuses scale up. If Dancer can get some 4% Haste hands, they'll be sitting pretty with constant ~5% enhanced Sambas assuming 1% per piece past the first.

How are DRK af3 feet not their best WS option in the game?

And even more so for Guillotine!

[Malacite]

I wonder if SE will allow the DD jobs to 25/25 Haste, or at least come close with 5/5 AF3 on by 99. I'm leaning towards no but you never know with them these days.

[Zag]

malacite and his scientific theories again.

AF3 will be gimp at level 99 first of all just like af2 before it and second... most jobs can already cap haste with just the af3 they got now plus other haste gear.

Capping haste at 25-26% at level 99 (assuming the cap will still be 25-26% in gear haste) will be very easy to do i'm sure for every job. Can probabaly cap acc, attack and haste with your gear at 99.

It seems to me that for the most part that the emperyian weapons in their final form trump the old school relic weapons, but I haven't been able to get much information about it for the ranger relics. How does the armageddon and gandiva compare to annihilator and yoichi respectively? Which are the better weapons to get?

[Thorny]

I'd go for a Verethragna, Ukonvasara, Kannagi, or Masamune(in order of best to worst, difficulty is pretty well scaled though Ukon is harder to get than Vereth minimally). They'll improve your DPS the most, since a career RNG still doesn't play RNG.

PS: This is the armor thread.

[Muter]

Is there any info on how the WHM +2 Set works? Just wondering if its anything like Shadow ring/pure boost to barspells or something along those lines. Thanks~

laughed very hard on this

nocturnus effect, low chance of absorbing spells

[Jeryhn]

nocturnus effect, low chance of absorbing spells

Again, screenshots or some other kind of confirmation? Potency of the absorption would be nice. Also, does it apply to additional effects (such as Enspells), mob TP moves or breath attacks, or are we talking just strictly magic spells? Does it take precedence over the effects of Empyrean-powered Carols, etc etc?

[Thorny]

Was mentioned earlier in this thread, not my testing.

[Jeryhn]

I saw it in the "theorycraft" post and not elsewhere, which is why I ask.

[Benihana]

Oh my fault, I should read more carefully. I know ranger doesn't get to be ranger much but was curious which is better, thank you.
