Advice/Suggestion On TP Builds.

This is the set up I am working towards. The swords are the Double Attack and STR/Att. Magian Swords.

What I am curious or wondering about is if I am focusing too much on one thing and not another, or if I had the right idea.

The gear there that I don't have aren't that far from unattainable for me, but just things I haven't gotten yet.

**EDIT**

With this set up and Haste from either BLU or WHM I would get up to 100 TP every 31.5 seconds,baring casting interruptions(every 14 hits) (assuming all hits hit, and with this accuracy it seems like it wouldn't be a bad wager)


Changed other Magian Sword to the STR/Att. one

**EDIT**

Assuming you eat sole sushi, i'd make the shamshir+1 with str, 2 if possible (but the DA sword isnt bad, you'll just have to WS not to waste tp).

Ammo the Mavi Tathlum is great and easy to get, head is perfect (im almost done with +1 and that already is great), neck-ears look good, body i'd work on af2 body or morrigan if u can, refresh fuels your BLU and if u use sushi, you'll have good acc (both examples also have acc on em).

Hands look good, i'd still use homam over that but both are great, rings if u need a bit more of acc, can dual acc+5 (sniper or wood) or the +7 versions (sniper +1 or toreador's). Can use the acc+8 ring from marvin too maybe (but careful with this, it hurts your melee dot with the -att).

Back Depends totally on your acc, sharpeye mantle if u need a good chunk of acc or cuchulain mantle, both are awesome for pure acc builds (and can abuse cuchulain on disseverment also).

Waist-legs-feet look great, im also almost done with blu legs +1 too, the +2 versions gonna take me a while to get sadly :<

Now to keep grinding blu!!

Mavi Tathlum for TPing? What would the Blu Magic Skill help with here?

I'd full time maxi tathlum, 2 acc wont break the build much anyway and you should be casting more than Swinging since u can build TP the multi-hit sword.

I'm not a BLU or anything, but the first thing I notice is what I assume is complete overkill on accuracy.

Assuming AF3+1 and the Dex Shamshir+1, you'd have
+60 Acc
+17 Sword skill

At the very least I'd trade out the Taranis for a refresh body.

I can't really give much more advice than that though.

Unless you are trying to eat meat get less acc. And idk maybe some kind of refresh body...

Updated the original post with some more stats about this set up.

Refresh body would be better more, you need a fast MP restoration to keep casting non stop really, most dmg from blu comes from there.

Definitely an overkill on accuracy. You'd probably still be capped using sushi without wearing a body at all.

Try to get relic body for auto refresh. It's comfy and looks pretty.

Idle in morrigan's robe! It's fun times.

Anyways I'd probably homam hands a little higher, Obviously +2s on the af3, 6 haste belt if you can, str ring over acc,

No.

And don't bother with meat unless you're capping acc regardless, the trades are terrible.

When people say Capped Acc. What do they mean?

What accuracy total are you looking to achieve?

95% hit rate?

<_< melee to spell damage ratio is almost 90% spell>10% melee now WS not counted because i push it into CA alot of the time.. so you can epeen all you want a blu with a good casting build will still out dmg you and all your ACC/haste.

Wouldn't a blu with a "good casting build" also have a good acc/haste build for TP as well?

my haste build is like pink in hands legs and feet and i rape the JP blu in full homam

You can go for the crazy TP build but your damage wont spike as much as going for epeen casting set

yup.

the majority do not. my friend fultimesish his casting set and rips me apart on everything we go to

Which would be at what Accuracy? As in what Number....

That depends on the enemy's evasion. Therefore, it depends on what you're fighting. It's not the same for every mob in the game...

One way to find out is to use something such as Kparser to parse your hit rate.

1 point of accuracy = 0.5 hit rate.

Does anyone know what some of the higher evasion mob's evasion is then? Or even a good evasion to base things off of? 350? 400? lower? higher?

So you're getting beaten by a mediocre BLU?Parsing is the best way to go about it, too many different monsters we fight these days to give a single target value. Multiple TP sets isn't a bad idea honestly?

It highly depends on your amount of refresh on ratio of melee to spell dmg.

Comparing abyssea you like 10+ refresh you probably have isn't exactly fair unless you always plan on doing that.

Nor can you properly compare when you are obviously neglecting your tp and/or ws sets

<.< that mediocre blu is who made all the math you base just about everything off

LOL mediocre blue...

This is purely a TP discussion really, I have a different set of gear that I cast in...

Dasva kinda said it in his last post.. losing 1mp/tic from a refresh body really isnt doing me much when I can get 16mp/tic from must refreshII in abyssea...

The reason why I asked for a ball park number is to know when I hit a good grounding point... I'm assuming the mob i am fighting is lvl 99 with 375 evasion, if I plan on hitting that reliably I should be okay right? Or is that setting the bar much higher than it needs to be?

orly
It's doing more for you than Store TP given how little time you'll spend meleeing and certainly more than the accuracy given that you shouldn't need that at all. If you've got to much refresh, swapping atmas would be more efficient.

yearly

If a BLU without a TP set isn't mediocre, is a SAM without a TP set not mediocre too? Not a perfect analogy but still...
