New Gear Sets

Was planning on coming back to XI with THF in mind and wanted to be ready for what I'm going to need. Did some research and came up with this for TP so far. Might go into WS and SA/TA sets later.

Is this the right direction? Mirke is Acc+10 and Dual Wield. Ignore the amemet, too poor for cuch.

Also I can't seem to get Twashtar in main hand.

Well this is my current set... any advice would be nice










(joke this set is perfect and i don't have it)

WS set something like this



(Evisceration)

wouldn't loki be a better fit for that set? it has more STP and it doesnt look like you are suffering from any acc issues.

You'd hit faster and more accurate with a Rapidus Sax, but you lose the base damage from Auric Dagger. It's really a toss up.

Ballerines for feet (4% haste)

Raider's Boomerang is overrated, 3% DW at the loss of being able to debuff with bolts and possible stats on crossbow.

Assuming you're using DW+3 mirke, Auric Dagger, Suppanomimi, Rajas and /nin... You'd still be hitting for <5% tp per dagger. You'd be better off with lava/kusha for TP.

If you were thf/notnin with the above gear and a balenos' mantle, you'd hit exactly 5% per hit and you wouldn't run into that gay 99% problem.

Suppa+brutal is like the only earring combination you should be using for any dualwield job tp phase.

too bad you have no tp :(

i was about to call bs on this lol

Offhand Vajra made me chuckle.

That's why I said I couldn't figure out how to change it to main hand.


How hard is Bullwhip to get? I assume it's high priorty and difficult to get.

Mainhand Vajra would make me chuckle too.

Not hard, easily lowmanned and droprate is decent with blue !!.

Thanks for the info!~ Also wondering if using ocelot gloves is that big of a difference compared to homam. Just wondering since all I see is an agility boost...

Critrate+4% is a pretty big deal, especially given Razed Ruins. Not sure about Loki's but I'd imagine it's better too, at least inside Abyssea.

Crits raise your pDIF, devaluing the attack. When more than half your hits crit, attack doesn't mean as much.

I haven't been playing but I hear Twashtar may > Mandau. Apart from that though, Mandau/Twashy or Mandau/Auric, at least post-90. Mandau/Auric and Mandau/RapidusSAX are pretty close tho at 85.

Over-accuracy is too common of a possibility now to have only one set.

Raider's Boomerang is great (3%), but if we're talking Abyssea with Razed Ruins, one might be better off using Qirmiz Tathlum for a speculated 5% increased crit damage and 3 attack, along with Loki's Kaftan to further increase crit dmg, assuming accuracy is not a problem.

For zerging there's the possibility of using Rapparee Harness and the 5% Dual Wield belt (can't remember what it's called) or 3% dual-wield Mirke Wardecors with a 26% haste build if going for the fractional haste above 25%. Or you could substitute Dusk Gloves+1 or Bullwhip Belt for some other options if sticking with 25%. All assuming no rapidus.

I wouldn't melee in things like Ocelot hands or Cuchy Mantle or the 6dex + acc ring from Yilbegan (can't remember what it's called atm; Zilant?), unless going for a crit build. But then again crit builds are becoming increasingly viable.

If going for a full accuracy build (that you can actually use without going over the cap) you'd be better off going w/ the 12 acc cape as opposed to Bullseye. If in no need of accuracy you'll be even better off with a Cerberus+1.

Cavaros' Mantle for increased crit dmg is an interesting idea, even if just meleeing with Razed Ruins, but from what I heard the buff on it was really small; but I don't have any links to any tests, so I might have heard false information.

For Evisceration I'd replace brutal with another Jupiter's Earring though it ought to be a little close. Replace Ais' w/ a Heca+1 hat. Jupiter with Zilant. Belt with Cuchulain's.

This is just assuming 'best gear' attempts.

Nusku's sash

TP

cant get torque to drop QQ mikre body is 3% crit hit rate + 3% dw

WS


I am currently trying go get some +1 heca crafted but so far no such luck ;; NQ NQ NQ NQ also trying to get an Aias Bonnet but so far i have not been able to catch him up.

Evasion/tank set


For fun my True Strike build




For DD im currently on glavoid stage for twashtar, i plan to off hand auric but i will finalize offhand weapon once i get twashtar ( i have dex kila +1 auric and oat daggers to play with)


Evasion/tank i have two kila +1 with evasion

Please don't think poorly of me (/.\) im just a taru that likes to be silly. If anyone would like to discuss my theories on gear choices or would like to have a fun discussion about a more optimized setup please be my guest ^^

to be honest i dont like sacking the acc for the evasion, i thought about the alert ring and even have one but havent tried it, for dd daggers im currently on the glavoid stage for twashtar and hope to have it done in the next 2-3 weeks, atleast up to the wamura stage finished since im sure the update will bring it a new trial.

i offhand auric at the moment to max out dual wield and currently mainhand a dex kila +1. I use unstacked evis pretty often since i solo alot. on dnc with my evasion setup i can solo Lamphrey lord and most of the T2 VNMs haha

Can make a 1.5% hitrate difference if you aren't already capped/floored!

with that same viewpoint if you're in abyssea is the 6 evasion really needed? im attempting to solo fafnir for shits and giggles, and at the same time also do stuff like solo t2-3 VNMs.... so i mean its really how you want to swing things and nitpick at that point isnt it?

also not wearing any acc gear in evasion gear for the most part....so will you really be capped?

More importantly than ~5 accuracy over Alert, Rajas has Subtle Blow. Your eva should be more than high enough for standard swings, Subtle Blow will reduce the number of TP moves you eat.

Rajas ring. Lava/Kusha is pretty crappy esp since acc isnt needed as much.

That is correct, i have a decent amount of subtle blow as well, that is why i really like the heed/raja setup

Correct thinking. But much better is to have a max evasion set separate from any subtle blow sets.
