The link to high end offensive sets is broken(don't mind me debugging, I just happened to be researching stuff the past couple of days).
Interesting, and now the links to the div IDs for the first page stuff are broken too...why would it do that when I did the condensing? D:

I have a Stun set question for all you guys. How many different sets are you using for Stun? Are you using one for maximal Fast Cast and one for maximum m. acc or a hybrid of both? If you're using multiple sets, what VW tier would you consider to be the cut off point for pure Fast Cast over more m. acc?

Edit: I'm tired, I meant Haste, not Fast Cast. Of course we're wearing Fast Cast in precast sets

How many pieces of ares do you need to get the double attack set bonus and how much double attack is granted from it?

and can there be a set that uses ares+1 set for tp?

good question, I haven't seen any new builds using ares +1, but I would imagine that if you have Legs+1 you replace Calmecac with those.

edit: derp I just remembered it's in the 5-hit set for Apoc AM

In high haste situations that you're capping acc, i would say ares pants might beat bale. Conversely I'd have to look at bale mask vs ares mask for LR down, attack uncapped? *eyes cross*

I believe (don't quote me) the 3/5/7/9 posted is based off findings from the other sets. I took the "verification tags" on half the new salvage sets as: "we found out whats on one set so someone test the others". The only one that looked like someone was sure of the numbers was marduk.

3 pieces gives you 5%

It sounds like, and no, not jumping to conclusions!

3% for the first 2 pieces and 2% for each piece after, not saying it is going to be that, but it looks like it.
Either way, it isn't going to be worse than its predecessor!

My head hurts trying to planning what to tp in since the only body I'm gonna have is Bale and no Phorcys salad to help adjust. The foreshadowed gimpness is already killing me.

lol i'm just doing lots of salvage trying to complete the lv.75 ares set~ ; ; just missing 25 body, 35 hands,feet.

I soooooo badly want to make ares+1 and utilize it in a tp set. mainly because it looks amazing.

Caladbolg to make it worse! <3
Idk maybe I'll try to get an e.body somehow, but it seems very unlikely I'll ever get one at this point(all I do now is duo-trio, don't have an event ls anymore).

Can get by with Askar, or Murzim. Both pretty easy to get.

There is never any VW here. Those stuff is by far the hardest to get for me. Don't even feel like shouting since I don't know anyone here.

Limbus I was reluctant just cause I didn't want to add another thing to the to-do list(it's pretty huge). I understand it's not hard, I just have a lot of restraints right now.

I soooooo badly want to make ares+1 and utilize it in a tp set. mainly because it looks amazing.

My main problem with it is the "good" pieces seem like sidegrades that are without STP. Ares' body +1 is really just a 2% da adaberk that doesnt have stp or dex/acc.

Feet are god awful.

Hands aren't "bad" but it'll be hard to hold onto those if I wanna keep bale around for absorb-tp (and if i get buffs im swapping to phorcys anyhow).

Mask is a powerhouse for +attack and will have effectively the same DA as bale if you are only using two pieces (assuming you dont count the DA towards the other slot against what you should be wearing there). Bale head is going to accomplish most of the situations youd wear this outside of needing acc and phorcys will probably cover the remaining.

Ares' flanchard +1 will get a nice multi-attack rate boost on your set. The problem here is all the juicy stats on phorcys and bale. If youre maintaining a hit build its going to be a hard loss to swap out phorcys (especially with embrava becoming refresh soon).

/shrug. I'm gonna get it anyhow because my salvage set has a million people on the other sets already so if I think of more uses I'll share.

Just want to note that Bale +2 is actually more acc than phorcys with dex and skill.
