Drk Resolution GS / Builds

Meh you are right, I made the mob so evasive that it floored the hit rate at 20% for both. If you can use the Acc of avant+1 it pulls ahead. Now to figure out how much ACC you need to make a difference.

xD that explains it, I was like wtf?

I'd definitly use Avant+1 over heafoc. On weaker mobs who cares and on higher tier mobs it will pull ahead.

Mathed it out.

If Heafoc takes your WS ACC to 93.1% or lower then Avant+1 comes out ahead.

Heafoc
Acc 93.1%

6.77
2611

4619

241.188 dps


Avant+1
Acc 95.0%

241.192 dps

Theres been a lot of discussion of OAT Fulgurante, but how would the OA2-4 Fulgurante stack up? It seems to me that it was situationally good before (Endark build), and now with a 100% STR mod WS it would only get further ahead in the DoT department.

What say you?

Whats the hit spread at 99?

~2.0 hits/round average

So what's the top 3 best Gs to use for resolution?

in no order

TOM
Rag
Calad

lol I want an order D:
Which ToM Gs? Str,tp,oat?

From reading the older posts, it sounds like Kauriraris (ToM WS DMG+10%) > Ragnarok > Caladbolg


Rag is really nice for the acc, giving you more room for str options in your build. If you're fighting something where acc is an issue, I imagine Rag is gonna perform better.

Caladbolg lets you ride aftermath though.

edit: and yeah the OAT ToM sword mentioned above.

i thought it was Jesus > OAT > rag > calad > whocares

I want the jesus sword

Im almost finished with wsdmg 10% gsword, how good is that on ranking gswords? >_>

Any reason noone has mentioned using http://www.ffxiah.com/item/11964/whirlwind-dirs ?

cuz they pale in comparison to bale flanchard +2?
except maybe for the DA? but still, acc and attack ftw

That was in order I was jk lol

Pure damage wise, whirlwind is the best at the slot. But since it is a multi hit ws, you kinda have to worry about accuracy. If you have Ragnarok, you can definitely go with Whirlwind.

i would think tho they would be uber if you cap attack & acc right?

yep, even if not capped at attack, 3% DA is still better than 15 attack.

red curry buns +1 then u don't need attack items :D

not sure if troll..

also lol at noob who was saying not to wear belts and gorgets when FTP bonus is for all hits of new WSs

lol at noob who thinks all the new ws got that property

It's a fairly new development for weaponskills so it's understandable that some might not have known yet. In time, that will change.

We've got a decent thread going on BG working on it (can't parse s'more because I can't get a clear Fortification this week).

There are two ways to call it, one is just 'cleaner' than the other:

In classical form, it's pretty damn close to 40/30/18/12. This comes out to 2.02 hits/round.

There's been some work on producing that spread from having a 60% chance to multihit followed by a 50/30/20 DTQ split. This arrangement explains why DA would override everything instead of being checked somewhere inbetween. It could be as high as a 65% chance on the level 99 weapons from the more recent parse followed by the same 50/30/20 split, while 60% matches some of my old lv85 and lv90 distribution parsing, which I thought was erroneous but came out to about 40/30/18/12 while I instead expected and extolled 40/30/20/10. I thought that some triples followed by singles were counted as quads by KParser.

When I get some additional parsing done I'll be able to pin down if level 99 OA2-4s got bumped to a 64% multihit rate or not.

Overall, OA2-4 Scythe is looking to be the slightly better over the GS version for Merit WS spam because of the single-round occurrence (improved in value with the 12% instead of 10%) with a 5-hit on it and the 2 hits/rd average over 4 hits to WS meaning a very clean 2 rounds to WS average and marginally lower overflow rate.


Btw: Soil Gorget and Belt work for both Resolution and Entropy if you need to obtain Gorget/Belt for either. Was worth the cruor to me to just bitchslap the Cactuar with a brew for the 100% drop, and Xzomit organs are way faster to farm than Phuabo (100% from the 'mother' Xzomit).

Being a noob... wtf is fTP and how does it work?... and will this gearset work ok?

Edit for Gearset

You want gorget and belt because SE grew a brain and made the 0.1 fTP bump work on all hits.

So 0.75 per hit becomes 0.95 per hit with elemental gorget and belt, or about 26% more unconditional damage instead of just 6% if it were an 'old type' WS.

You're literally adding a full extra hit to Resolution and Entropy 100% of the time with Gorget and Belt, and a smidge of accuracy, I've heard +10 each, to them too (definitely better than a lot of neck pieces, and passable for waist).

What do you guys think about this? Mainly for VW.

TP


Resolution


Any suggestions?

WS looks good.

TP needs way more ACC unless you are using sushi?

Should'nt the Dex from borealis help with acc issues?

DEX+15 wont automaticly fix your acc problems >_>
