I parsed these vs Phorcys and the 3DA/7str ones. They came out on top over both of them with restraint down. I haven't tried legion or Odin V2 yet but that'll come soon. Still not the best they could be but I'll deal for now.
If I'm following that correctly, you are saying that both
1) 6GA Skill > 7str
2) 1 Double attack + 6 Great Axe > 9str+9dex+(set bonus maybe)+9 attack

in parses on specifically NOT 2 of the only events in the current game where the acc difference might matter? Thank you for showing exactly why people don't use parsing to compare pieces. I don't know if those with good augments or phorcys win out for the situations you are playing in, but I can basically promise you the quoted pair are worse than if they had +7str w/o the GA skill. (If you were in abyssea the GA pair might win if you have no buffs, only thing I can think of)

Where are you getting 9 dex from? We all know everything is situational. For me, these win as far as I can tell. I use berk/99ukkon so I'm alright with str 90% of the time, accuracy also. It's not a significant difference, its just something different for people who don't have phorcys to look into. I'm not saying in any way that they're better for everyone, amazing, etc. I was just saying what I've seen so far.

This is my newest augment. Great thing about being WAR is, that 6'th Store TP just isn't needed.

I have noticed with my Synergy if you land on lets say 44 or 43 instead of 45 feed again, anything above 45 let it leak and try and stop leak right on 45 I more 75% of the time I score a hq3. I am not sure what it is maybe just luck but I think the more stress the crucible endures without exploding provides great results.

Anyone with a 3% DA 3stp+ Hauberk and a 3% TA breastplate with parse numbers for both? I know the accuracy can become issue but I've completed meebles and I can get the 3% DA 5 att 15 acc mantle so I was looking to switch it out and compare the numbers again. I just wanted to make sure it was worth my time and points for the back piece.

I don't exactly follow why you want parse numbers comparing the two, or what exactly you were looking to vary in the parse; but I will tell you that letalis mantle is a very very good investment if you do a lot of Legion and other high endgame events.

Basically the argument that Hauby can come out on top on the newer end game mobs is because it has accuracy, with letalis, I'm wondering if it would trump the hauby no matter what.

Armadaberk has better overall stats if you quantify a value on each. How well the accuracy and store TP fit future builds/mobs is impossible to predict, but it'd be absurd to call Valk's a superior piece on the basis of one other available accuracy swap.

An interesting question:

3DA/4+sTP Armadaberk, Mars, Atheling:
24 Acc (32.5 w/ DEX)
11 DEX
44 Att (52.25 w/ STR)
11 STR
6 DA
4+ sTP

3TA/10Acc Valkyplate, Tyrant's, Letalis:
31 Acc (28 w/ DEX)
-4 DEX
29 Att (37.25 w/ STR)
11 STR
3 TA
3 DA
4 sTP

You're right to say that Letalis+Valkyplate is right in Armadaberk+Atheling's ballpark for mid-to-high Acc scenarios. Unfortunately (unless something comes along and really shakes up our x-hits) I wouldn't say that Valkyplate trumps Armadaberk no matter what, because Armadaberk will have 15 DEX and 8 Acc (19.25 w/ DEX) on the Valkyplate's maximum Acc set for the forseeable future. And without buff locking, there's going to be a lot more Aggressor/buff down fighting going on.

This is especially unfortunate because WAR's A+ Skill Relic is garbo for damage. Mythic and Empy are way better in that department, but without that 40 Acc in the Main slot to seal the deal, Acc is currently a big concern for GA users. So serious that RagnaWAR is holds its own, even at B+ skill rating.

I'd pay an absolutely ridiculous amount of gil for a guaranteed Accuracy+ Store TP+6 Double Attack +3 set of augments on mine.

Guess that means your friend didn't take the acc3/stp6/da2 one?

He's keeping it until he gets STP+6 DA+3.

Might wanna spreadsheet that, I wouldn't be surprised if 3acc > 1DA for uncapped acc situations (ie, where Armada is good).

Edit: I checked, his 'berk is better than stp6/da3 when accuracy isn't capped.

Thanks. Passed the word to him. He's going to keep them.

Still working on some of these, especially the mittens and haidate. Thinking of redoing the p.hands as well for some STR.

Got this pretty epic augment on Valk. Unfortunately I can't find any set where this comes on top...

Spreadsheets are always showing Armada sets or lolPorthos/windbuffet ahead for Ragnarok WAR or DRK :(
Any tips for a set where this could shine considering embrava nerf?

Yeah sets are going to change quite a bit after nerf. But if you don't have ares's +1 gear, a valk like this is right up there. Parse your play style more than sheets. Everything looks different on paper.

Your embrava sets should still work for marches unless your brd is REALLY sub-par, or you can't account for the regain somehow. That really shouldn't be an issue for ragnarok because it's not like you'd have a decent hit-build on rag anyhow (or anything that doesn't count on magically landing 5 hits reliably).
