So I searched here, I searched Zam, I posted on Zam but Zam is about as lively as the US Economy right now. I'm really trying to build solid sets for Evisceration and Exenterator but every single post contradicts the last, and some contradict themselves in the same post!
For example: What is the obsession with Justiciar's Torque? It looks absolutely terrible for either WS yet I see it in so many builds. STR + ATK vs actual mods for the WS? I know the whole "STR ups weapon DMG" but with this theory you should wear ALL STR which... makes no sense? Another one is Anguinus Belt which I can't even begin to fathom using, ever.
15 acc, okay, but I'm well capped. 15 atk, really? When does atk beat base stats? I rarely see people using +ATK over things with solid stat bases... and +1% DA? On a multihit? Not sure how this pans over stats or Elemental.
Anyhow, my questions are the same in a lot of aspects for both sets.
Evisceration:
My thoughts are down to:
Attack + DA on Atheling vs 5DEX on Nifty?
Elem Belt vs Warwolf? Cuch is rarely on AH and for 300k it'd have to be a substantial difference. Don't have Anguinus.
Earrings? Saying the Dex earring beats Brutal contradicts EVERYTHING that says Anguinas/Atheling are good unless the stat options are ATK > DA > DEX which doesn't fit a "crit" based WS, you'd think more DEX = good thing?
Body: Does the increased crit DMG beat out Raider's+2 10DEX and 5 Dagger skill?
Rings are staying. Not looking to kill myself over 2 DEX for 500k+ each.
Exenterator:
Same issues come up:
Attack vs Agi? Blithe at least gives +DA and the +AGI mod.
I've heard EVERYWHERE agreeing on Elem Belt for this but checking again, and Gorget I heard too? I need to farm it but I don't mind.
Ears I am at a total loss for. No way am I getting the AGI ears, no Aesir access, and in process of dropping Bushi then HOPING I can get people for DM...(for Suppa obviously)
Rings, no clue. AGI rings are 1.1m each on my server, way out of my range for rings and the +5AGI rings are never on AH.
Proud of finding the legs, seems legit but advice welcome.
Biggest issues, I know:
Kila is AGI. No, I don't intend to make a STR one. I understand for DD it's better but I spend 99% of my time tanking and I don't even have enough Geodes/Ifritites for my BLU let alone THF/DNC right now :p
No Loki's. Not gonna happen. Too many friends need and I don't do the whole AbyLS thing.
No Love Torque. Unless I can 2box it no thanks. I hate Sea "endgame" I did that stuff years ago, was pretty awful if memory serves.
No Suppa/Aesir... working on it :/
No Anguinus Belt(though I don't know why people use it, then turn and stack other stats in different slots with the same stats available).
Sorry for the long post, especially when asking for help, but I am -so- confused and rather than say "GEAR ME" I really want to understand WHY the gear is better (teach a man to fish, etc).
Replies are greatly appreciated if they offer any insight on my situation. I have Dnc as well and am just as stuck on gearing it for WS's...
I guess it comes down to:
Multihit WS... do I stack Atk, Mod Stat, or DA/TA? I was always taught atk > stats on multihit due to bad mods, and DA/TA was better for single hit WS's but that was back in 2005-2006... things change?
I understand "get this done, farm that" but I do leave in a month for Kuwait. I'd like to enjoy the game before I leave lol.
Again, thanks~
