Blade: Hi WS Set.

Hope Torque because NIN can actually wear it.

WSC not fTP, and yeah NIN can't wear Justiciar's anyways.

Oh, whoops~ My mistake.

Extra hits are all 1 http://fTP. WSC is the effect of mods.

Why the *** is that a link?

Justiciar's is STR/attack, not DA...

i just read the BG forum post on ele belts and im slightly confused, i have a shadow belt in my locker collecting dust. i normally use anguinus for blade: hi inside and cuch outside. would shadow belt be better as outside belt (maybe inside too)?

(i did read the whole thread a while back, dnt recall having seen this belt mentioned, but it was a while ago, and im not willing to re-read 20+ pages lol)

Stick with Anguinus's Belt for outside/inside builds (Cuch when applicable outside).

any particular reasoning?

This whole thread is filled with relevant info regarding this. Since you want the long answer, I'll fill you in.

Because Blade: Hi has a high fTP mod (100%-300%TP@ 4.0) the gains are lower using ele belts to that extent something that adds high ATK in same slot will beat ele belts. In addition to that, if you are in ATK capped situations on anything with relative high defense such as Dragua, Isgebind etc (Stalwarts, berserk up, RCB, minuets and/or chaos rolls on) Crudelis/any belt with high AGI will overtake Anguinus because that atk does nothing for WS, and stacking AGI for higher WSC DMG pulls ahead.

Question about haidate and hi here.

I currently use haidate with crit dmg +4% for HI but today in PT chat with some nerds claiming haidate can get crit rate +1/2% augmented (as wiki says) which i said its not possible, all i got augmented is + crit dmg % and sTP/random stat.

So i ask the community, is it possible to get crit rate on haidate? the page in BG says crit dmg % only.

Thanks!

Never seen one with crit rate.

I think we need to make a
"Blade Hi for aftermath for Blade Shun"

Can you get aftermath to kick in on non-;hi weapon skills? 300% TP :HI and 3 minutes of 5hit weapon skills could be sick!

Blade Shun is sexy. Seemed to benefit a lot from attack and STR gear as well as DEX. A beefy :jin build will be a good starting point for it. 5 hits is redonculous too. Don't quote me, but I swear I saw a TP return off of one of them for like 22% TP. With DAs and TAs, looking at 7-8 hit WSs on occasion.

I also pulled a 1500 dmg one on a fodder mob outside of abyssea. Bye Bye :jin, was a long arduous road with you by my side, but it is time for you to die!

I really wish that we could use all WS and get some decent damage out of them, seems like it would add a lot more variety for our play styles, if we could use all our WSs in different situations for flashy results. MB/SCs mostly.

Ever met Kuroganashi?

Do you have a point?

Birds of a feather.

They're buffing Shun so the results in practice will heavily depend on how far they're willing to go. It could end up being a sidegrade to Jin depending on critrate/cRatio (more or less where it's at now), or it could end up replacing Hi in many situations.

EDIT: With the obvious caveat that Kannagi users will continue using Hi due to aftermath. Voidwatch might afford some opporunities to use Shun via 300 TP His, but given the combination of low cRatio, moderate critrate (Innin), and high TP overflow I would be unsurprised to see Blade: Hi outdamage Shun in such a situation. All speculation though.

Back from a break. Kind of lazy to window shop.



I know I should get that new feather helm thing, the big AGI ring and hachiryu sune-ate.
Been working on Haidate but HQ gods hate me.
Do AGI earrings beat brutal?
Should I get a different cape?
Love torque best if no tonberry hate?
Any other advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't bother getting Hachiryu, AF2 +2 are coming out in 2 days.
No
No
Yes
Shura head +1 - 3% ws dmg and can get dex + att on it

quick question:
aias bonnet for outside decent sub until i acquire one of the proper pieces for an outside head?

Thanks for the info. Really hate that they made the Rancor Collar have such an annoying requisite- makes it so that every time I would fight a Tonberry for whatever reason it means I have to spend like, 2 hours or so afterwards just to bring my neck slot back up to par. Bleh.

I've been noticing a lot of back-and-forth about trying to up dDEX outside Abyssea. Is there any information about how much AGI the VWNMs run around with? Would make it easier for me to know how often I should be sacrificing other stats for DEX.


Hm, what situations would that beat 12 DEX and AGI on Ocelo. Headpiece?


I went with DA/CritDam on them. Don't really have a linkshell at the moment, so don't have access to Ambusher's Hose easily- been spending most of my time farming sky for Byakko's Seals on my own so I'll go straight to the Haidate. Assuming the synergy ever spits out anything other than more VIT and Resist Paralyze augments...I could've sold all those dumb scraps I've wasted on it so far and gotten a Ocelo. Headpiece+1 with the gil by now. >_>

I haven't reset my hate since obtaining one and it honestly hasn't been an issue even fighting Murk-Veined Baneberry and the Abyssea-Konschtat NMs a few times.

Too much to reasonably cap. ~VT and lesser mobs will generally have more favorable AGI scores though.

Abyssea for sure. A well augmented one can also beat it outside barring high critrate from Ocelomeh.

Not sure if serious. Grab a WHM, poke it till it puts out.

Oh. Does that mean my WSDam/CritDam Anwig also beats Ocelomeh inside?

Well, I more meant that *every single person* in my LS and friendlist has stopped playing (at the moment, anyway). I know I could shout or solo it, I'm just being lazy right now. =P

This is my "inside abyssea" set: Kote's have Int+1 Stp+3 and Crit Hit Rate +3, Kitty pants have yet to be augmented and Ambushers hose doesnt seem to want to drop for me even with blue proc lol




This is my "outside abyssea" set, swapped out kaftan for +2 af3 nin body.


Any insight on how I might be able to make these better and more consistant in terms of dmg output would be greatly appreciated. TY

P.S. Yea I know Lithe boots are lol but, at the time its what I had lol

epona's over rajas.

Right now I'm working on koga kyahan+2 which would be the better choice atm I believe inside and out. Also if you can go get the COP earring with attack+4 tp bonus on it.

Going for full strengh merits is still the most benifical over all yes? or are there new gear choices that change this?

Ocelo. headpiece better then Leonine Mask for outside of abyssea?
