Just got my War to 78 and trying to decide which would be better for Steel Cyclone. I don't need to know about other WS being better or about other items. I know that there are better options for some of my gear, but this is what I have now. This is my current SS build:

I understand the viking helm is better. I haven't had it drop yet so I was just trying to figure out from the gear I have which is better.

I know this. I'm also missing a Rajas ring and Brutal earring because I don't have sea yet. I'm working on CoP so I'll get those when I get to that point.

Not going to comment on other gear, because it wasn't asked for.

Could use another back piece since atk does little for SC.

If underbuffed (I'm assuming he will be when using it) I'd stick to the Foragers.

Depends on what you're fighting I'd say. Debuffs on mob (as in Dia) etc

The whole argument is stupid. You say Varangian hasn't dropped but it is a 60% drop, so how many times have you really killed it? Solution: Go kill Khalamari again and until then use whatever the *** you want (Genbu's Kabuto).

depends what you are fighting and if you are using SC, that mostly means that the mob you are fighting has high def

i liked beggressor + warrior charge + SC

I've been looking into the Totm ones and not sure which would be best/easily obtained since I don't have a lot of people to help me or a lot of time to play.

Get the STP Sumeru, the level 80 one. Only requires WSing and is an easy 6hit.

Read what Drac said. Unless you know you're capping atk during SC, Foragers will be better. That said, I'd generally assume you'd be capping atk, but I'm not a war yet and would take his advice
