So with the addition of some beastly new physicals spells I thought I would get on here to hear some people's thoughts on an optimal physical spell casting set.

My current set is :


Shamshir Str+8 X2
Anwig Salade: STR+4 DEX+4

And for the most part I am happy with the results. the two pieces I really have questions over is should af2 be used over STR+4 DEX+4 anwig and should alkys be used over enkidu's assuming acu is not an issue. Also what is people throughts on symbiosis gloves for physical spells?

You have blue magic merits, right? Ditch the scarf if so.

Head situational, Alkys yes, hell no Symbios.

Ya blue merits are max, what's the logic to optimal blue magic skill? Never understand why sometimes it's important, sometimes its not. If im not using mavi, you think ire torque +1 would be best?

Base damage increases happen in tiers, roughly every 9 skill. Adding small amounts like 4-5 skill won't always add base damage as a result, just some attack.

Skill tiers yield 2 base damage.

floor(skill*0.11)*2+3

EDIT: On this note, some tiers at 85

base skill: 331 * 0.11 = 36
Magus Jubbah: 346 * 0.11 = 38
Mavi Tayt +1: 356 * 0.11 = 39

From here we have 3 sources of skill+5: Mavi Tayt +2, Mavi Tathlum, and Mirage Keffiyeh.

361 * 0.11 = 39
366 * 0.11 = 40
371 * 0.11 = 40

There's also Mavi Scarf, which would grant a skill tier in combination with a single skill+5 item (breaking into the 40 tier). Not worth using in tandem with Mirage Keffiyeh and does not break a skill tier with two +5 items.

skill with merits: 347 * 0.11 = 38
Magus Jubbah: 362 * 0.11 = 39
Mavi Tayt +1: 372 * 0.11 = 40
Mavi Tathlum: 377 * 0.11 = 41
*Mavi Scarf does not increase your skill tier at this point. 381 * 0.11 = 41
Mavi Tayt +2 OR Mirage Keffiyeh: 382 * 0.11 = 42

Which is the highest skill tier worth reaching at this time. Mavi Tayt +2 + Mirage Keffiyeh + Mavi Scarf would reach 43, but it's not worthwhile. Ideally you're using AF+1 body, AF3+2 legs, and AF3 ammo for your skill tiers at 85.

Ire +1 is a good choice as long as you're good on accuracy.
