PLD Chant Du Cygne Setups

Hecatomb Leggings +1, Zahak's Mail outside of Abyssea, Centaurus Earring

What kinda augments would i aim for on the heca+1 feet? str and attack?

Also would the WoTG earing with tp bonus+25 beat the Centaurus? Had someone say it was good for it but meh...

Moonshade Earring with Attack+4 and TP Bonus+25 is worth 2~3% crit rate assuming crit rate scales between 100, 200, and 300TP, which I have strong evidence and beliefs to acknowledge that it does.

This would put it ahead of Centaurus by a considerable margin.

Just wondering what improvements I can make to this for my CDC set once almace is done? I know I should get that dex satchel, twi helm, and twi body. I am curious whether I should use un-augmented heca hands and feet in set as well as getting cuch belt. I want to gear the ws mainly for Voidwatch mobs and am looking for as many suggestion as possible.

Augmented heca feet and if you have heca hands you might as well use them. You have already stated the obvious upgrades should just work on getting those. Some augmented Heca legs are a nice upgrade and you could also try and get an augmented jupiters ring from the quest in aby attowha.

That quest is maddening... I wish I'd gone after a ring before they gimped it.

Tell me about it think i was 1/50 on my first jupiters with an att augment on it. Made a nice amount of cash npcing all the rings though.

What do you think of this setup?



Augments:
Moonshade is att+4, TP Bonus+25
Hecatomb Mittens+1 Acc+6, Crit Hit Damage +3%
Hecatomb Subligar+1 Acc+5, Sublte Blow+4, Crit Hit Rate+3

I haven't bought Rancor Collar, Cuch Belt, Thundersoul, or Lithe Boots yet. I was thinking Hecatomb Leggings+1.

[Feet] All Races
DEF:23 HP+9 STR+7 DEX+4 Slow +6%
Possible Augments STR+1-4, Att+1-5, Acc+7

I asked BG and one person replied and said they thought heca feet+1 would be good too.

Only reason I ask is because in this thread many people are talking about Lithe boots.

So, What's the verdict on Heca feet+1 and should I try for the +4% Crit hit rate and +4% Crit hit damage. The above augments are the best I could get. Have not seen +4% anything yet. Thoughts?

Page 5 should cover your questions. Solid set neverthless.

Just curious, Hecatomb Subligar+1 or Ogier's Breeches for CDC?

Heca+1 (Crit rate+) outside abyssea, however Ogier's may actually win inside Abyssea provided that you're using proper CDC atmas.

with nq hecatomb mitts whats the max crit hit rate and sword skill? wiki has it listed as 1-2% crit and 2 sword skill but i just got +3 sword skill on nq mitts

Sorry if it's already been asked, but Avant legs+1 > Tumbler trunks?
Don't personally have heca/+1.

Mine are Crit Damage +3% and Sword skill+4 (Hec. Mittens +1) not sure for NQ.

Was wondering how the Avant Gauntlets +1 compared to heca mitts.

[Hands] All Races
DEF:31 STR+7 DEX+7 Accuracy+10 "Double Attack"+2%
LV 96 WAR PLD DRK BST SAM DRG

Augmented Heca would win out due to the crit damage, I reckon.

gloves have 4swordskill 4%crit damage

going to start working on trying to get a 6dexring with attack and heca+1 feet augmented, but other than that obvious upgrades? tpbonus ear? also would critrate augmented heca subligar be a huge difference?

also body options? grim+1/zahak's/twilight vs older content and then vw type mobs?

wondering if rancorous mantle + gorget/belt have any place in this? and is 2dex the best available for the ammo slot?

Attack/TP Bonus Moonshade earring beats Pixie, critrate heca subligar +1 would beat Ogier's breeches by a decent amount because of more attack and DEX, especially if your acc is capped. Thunder sachet is the best ammo for Chant.

Idk about rancorous+gorget. ¯し(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Cuz you ninjaeditted!

Grim no, Zahak's vs Twilight, I'm not really sure unless 3% crit beats 5 DEX. On VW mobs, you'd want Twilight.

Edit again: Poked around other threads, current best by a small margin is rancor collar + atheling mantle.

Better than Nefarious + Rancorous yes, but best I doubt. Moepapa + Rancorous or gorget + Rancorous should be better. Latter setup is slightly behind Moepapa on BLU but you're not DWing and have less DA/TA on PLD so gorget should be even with or better than Moepapa for PLD.

lightning bow +1 gives dex+3 but i dunno if you want to use that over an ammo slot.

How come nobody has any Crit hit Rate/Crit hit DMG+ Shadow Sabatons up in this thread!

cuz ein is hard

I stand corrected. Hope my other points are right. :o

Well i was about to ask same question, guess i got answer, ill keep Nefarious in MH collecting dust, till i find a better use =D


Not as great as you cannot switch easy from:

Thunder sachet (CDC)
Aqua Sachet (Req)
Angha gem (idle/tanking)
Incantor Stone (casting)

Too bad, i have same problem with Killer Shortbow.

Combed through this thread and was wondering, how would the following set fare against twilight helm / atheling / rancor collar / zahak's mail?

Feet have +4 STR, hands are currently unaugmented

Id say what you are gaining in att you are losing a lot more in crit rate and dex its a fine set for inside abyssea though. Attack you can make up from food and berserk but you cant enhance crit rate obviously not including temp items. Theres a base rate of 15% on the ws itself you can easily get another +16% crit rate, +5 merits, +5 rancor, +3 Zmail, +3-4 heca sub NQ/HQ. I think i have around +62 dex on my build and ~+40 str and an ok amount of attack.



Hands have crit damage+3%, legs have crit rate+3 attack+4, feet have str+2 attack+2 and jupiters has attack+3 augments.

hands have crit +2%
