So, I'm working on an OA2 Chauve-Souris. Currently all the gear that I have right now, this is the 3 TP sets I made. All 3 I made to cap haste. Which one of the three is best?
Which Of These 3 TP Sets Should I Use? |

Which of these 3 TP sets should I use?

I thought the general consensus was that if you're using OA2 you want as little DA as possible because they cancel out on procs? Pre-NN
NB: WS in AF3+2 body. Post-NN Capped (for the most part) Haste with 5 hit. In my humble opinion the top TP sets except in extreme situations for OaT Polearm (unless I've missed something which is very possible). NB: Excess sTP is done to allow WSing in Phorcys Body. /sam for both builds obviously. Can do slightly more inefficient things in the second case if 7% Haste Belt used. Offline

Didn't Noodles say that Rancorous Mantle+Nefarious Collar >>>> Rancor Collar+Atheling Mantle?
Also DA isn't bad per se in an OAT set, it's effectiveness is simply watered down by about half. I still put as much DA/TA/QA gear into my jump sets as possible to bump up the chance of landing a multihit jump. So instead of a 45% chance of a 2 hit Spirit Jump, if I put in Sceamol Band/Portus Collar/Brutal Earring/AF3+2 Hands/Atheling Mantle/Windbuffet Belt/Oneiros Ring/Calmanec Trousers/Phorcys Feet It's like 26% DA or an extra 13ish% chance to DA on a Jump plus some TA/QA added onto the base 45% OAT rate. Definitely helps in the long run for those Sekkanoki>Meditate>Stardiver>Stardiver>Hit>Stardiver>Jump>Stardiver>Jump>Stardiver moments.

This is an erroneous way to look at it. http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/29127/random-question-thread-ffxi-related/39/#1872530 Yeah, it did when I mathed it out. As you may expect, all of this is thoroughly "mathematicised"! The downside is that the trousers are REALLY UGLY. However, I think we've both spent enough time in FFXI to know that the more mismatched your character is, the better they are.
Quote: Didn't Noodles say that Rancorous Mantle+Nefarious Collar >>>> Rancor Collar+Atheling Mantle? For Drakesbane this can certainly be the case. However during TP phase, even with DA devalued, DA still adds WS frequency whereas +critrate doesn't. There isn't much difference between the two builds, except one inventory space and some saved gil, that being said. EDIT: Should also mention you can use Ghillie Earring +1 or whatever for full offense, I just consider the minor offensive loss (in acc cap) for -2% wyvern PDT worth it since a dead wyvern is no longer contributing to souljump/spiritjump. |
