What's the point of not DWing if you're meleeing with Yagrush? All your -na's are aoe anyway, and you'll periodically do mystic boon to keep am up - providing potentially infinite mp.

Theres no competition between the two, Mjollnir has an advantage of 32 base damage and 60 attack vs store TP +10 and 500 TP bonus. I'll admit the TP bonus is sexy for Black Halo and Judgement, but it does very little for Hexa Strike or Realmrazer. And the 60 attack is huge for Whm, which is inherently starved for attack. I take my DD Whm everywhere I can these days, Dynamis D, Ambuscade, Omen, HTBFs, JP parties, etc, and It keeps turning heads wherever I take it. Whm/Nin may not be a full DD, but it doesn't have to be. If I can put out half the damage of a real DD in a linkshell event while keeping the cures, hastes, and status removal spells going, I count it as a win. Obviously I'm not going to pretend that clubbing everything in sight is the best option all of the time, but its a good source of extra damage when I can get away with it, and tons of fun to boot. So lets get down to gear. ItemSet 360259 This is my TP set, Ayanmo+2 is an absolutely wonderful starting point as far as TP sets go, with a couple of perks even over Chironic gear. Notably Ayanmo+2 has better accuracy and enough haste to free up the belt slot for a windbuffet belt +1 or a shetal stone. Chironic can still be better depending on the augments, especially in a slot like the feet. The Dark Matter augments have yet to smile on me, for instance I have a pair of +48 accuracy gloves that still lose to Ayanmo+2's colossal accuracy bonus, let alone their haste or Auspice buff. ItemSet 360260 Relic+3 is the best WS gear we are likely ever to see, given its gigantic buffs to attack. I personally only have the body so far, but I'll be working on the rest soon enough. In other slots, Begrudging Ring and a +Crit Ambuscade cape are Hexa-Strike specific pieces, you will want a +WSD augmented cape for Black Halo and Judgement. An important note about the Ayanmo Ring: its set bonus only applies to a maximum of 5 Ayanmo pieces, so theres not much point in using it with a full Ayanmo set, its only good in a partial set and even then its not great. On another note, Pergatory I want those boots. Seriously, those are amazing. Also I'm not sure how to get Mjollnir to show up as main hand, for some reason ffxiah seems dead set on main handing sindri and offhanding Mjollnir. Obviously this is wrong and not to be copied. Why off hand Mjollnir? Trying to bild a DD whm set. Would an REMA beat the Oboro weapon in some cases? Edit: Just read the last sentence...so you main Mjollnir and off Sindri? Sylph.Seidell said: » Why off hand Mjollnir? Trying to bild a DD whm set. Would an REMA beat the Oboro weapon in some cases? It's just a bug with making item sets on ffxiah, in regards to dual-wielding, it often doesn't put the weapon in the correct slot. You'll easily notice this if you try making some dual-wield sets yourself. Mjollnir definitely is meant for main-hand with Sindri offhand.

That discussion is kinda old. With augments I think yagrush AM3/TP bonus offhand spamming mystic boon would be best. Yagrush has mystic boon +30% and +15%, and am3 matters with so little MA in TP set. The ws scales well with TP(although not as well as black halo)It doesnt interrupt DD sc, and recovers MP which allows the use of full cure. Seems like overall best melee ws for whmjas. Alternatively.....kaja club/tp bonus for black halo. Winjaaaaaaaa

KC has accuracy issues on any higher-level content (like Omen or harder) without a BRD. Torpor alone won't cut it, and I don't know that Torpor+Hunters Roll would even be enough. You really need BRD.
And yeah, you want to generally avoid double attack with KC. It averages just under 4 attacks per round. Triple attack is ok, as you gain 2 hits on main hand and lose barely 1 hit on average for offhand. And no, it's not only good for Tishtrya, crazy TP is crazy TP. Cerberus.Shadowmeld

An easier (and cheaper) option might be to do a TP bonus club. Maxentius main hand + TPBonus club offhand would probably be a great Black Halo set. You're already talking about having no acc in offhand anyway.
ItemSet 367632 STP aug on cape for KC, STP or DA for TPBonus Alternatives: chironic slippers STP augment (Dark Matter only) or DA chironic gloves STP augment (Dark Matter only) or DA Volte gear: good luck, I've seen twice ever The Cath Paulug Hammer also has some pretty good DPS stats if you want to go the Maxentius/black halo rout, and the MND is good for black halo as well. I got one a few weeks ago and this is what I'm aiming for. The Alaunus's Cape has 10% dual wield, which is just shy of optimal, but it frees up some other gear swaps to add in a sizable chunk of double attack and attack, which whm is starved for and synergises nicely with the higher base damage on the clubs.

Are the sets here still pretty solid? Any changes for you DD WHMs in the past few months?
I've been hunting for decent Black Halo (Maxentius) and Flash Nova/Seraph Strike (Daybreak) sets if anybody has one or has any ideas for one. Offline

Only changes have been the new club. BH set is all relic+2/3 as is all phys dmg club ws. As for nova, primarily augmented chironic outside of legs which path D kaykaus legs win out i think there

relic+3, mnd/wsd cape, ishvara/moonshade, luminary sash or fotia for belt and jse+2 neck or fotia for neck.

If you're using Maxentius you'll also want a little bit of multiattack. That is where maxentius really shines on black halo. So instead of luminary sash you could use windbuffet belt +1 and other things like that.
