Sechs im sure youve posted it already but do you have a start mid and bis tp and ws sets you can share?
A good start, as it has already been said, is full Ayanmo+2 and Relic+3.
Former for TP, latter for WS, well for Mordant Rime, but arguably other WS too, if you're att uncapped.

Some interesting items you might want to consider are Petrov Ring, Hetairoi Ring, Chirich Ring (+1), Moonlight Ring, then Ebani Earring and Reiki Yotai belt.
Alternatively you can go with Shetal Stone and Suppanomimi.

All of this if you're dualwielding, otherwise go for multiattack stuff like Kentarch+1 R15 or Winbuffet+1, etc.

Back get an Ambu cape with Dex+30, Acc/Att+20, DA+10.
Neck of course you want R25 on the neck +2 but if that's too expensive get at lest Neck+1 and maxrank it (R20)



As for alternatives, there's not a lot, it depends on what you wanna do, with which weapon etc.
With a Carnwenhan you're gonna favor STP once you activate AM3, and so on.
Volte from Bastok is a nice set (Hands, Legs, Feet) but not exactely easy to access.
Likewise Ashera Harness.

There's a Unity Body from a Coeurl (can't remember the name) that once R15 is very nice for TP, but no Acc.

Blistering Sallet +1 from Unity is arguably one of our best TP option so far, and helps compensating for lack of acc in other slots. Plus it gives 8% haste unlike most recent options (6%).

There's the Gazu Bracelets R15 if you need lots of haste in a single slot to compensate for lack thereof in other slots (if you go for Chironic Dark Matter augments for instance, you will eventually fall in this situation)


I mean, I dunno, give me a more specific scenario and I'll be able to give you more specific answers!
Meanwhile you can use the spreadsheet to test which gear you already own and see which produces the highest DPS increase!

No it's not.
Pretty close to Ternion R15 but not better.
Sad days.

But I guess good news for whomever didn't have a Perf Taming Sari already.

Whichever you get first, but the 8 DEX is a little better if you care enough.

sorry if this is a dumb question... but been building a dumb crit rate build for this month's ambu, therefore I rank 15'd blistering sallet and zoar subligar -

ayanmo are still better TP pieces than these? (considering no mythic AM3)

I figured I could use them after this ambu was over, but looking at Biko and previous page, suggests ayanmo(I don't have volte unfortunately)

thanks stabbybards!

Ayanmo Head is generally used for the Stp, And Ayanmo Legs we're generally the go to legs because of the Haste Value,
but now using Zoar you could use Gazu Bracelet+1 R15 for add +10 haste.
You get more MultiAtk and WhiteDmg from crits so idk, should be good c.c
Could put into the Brd Spreedsheet and see.

What kind of DM augs on Chironic pieces are worth keeping for Mordant ws sets? Just starting to gear Brd and wanted to take advantage of this campaign, and of course on first day I got feet with:

Acc 23
Atk 17
Macc 19
Matk 19
WSacc 13
WSdmg 4%

Was actually just looking for refresh+2 for whm, but had to keep these just in case.

Pretty sure there are practically no situations where WSD augmented Chironic would beat Bihu+3 set for Mordant Rime.

10% WSD and CHR aug in a situation where you're Acc Capped and Att capped? Maybe? I dunno.
But in those kind of situations we also have access to AF+3.

I dunno, on a hunch I'd say that I don't see Chironic beating other options for Mordant Rime even with perf DM augs, but then again who knows. Test it on the spreadsheet!

Super late reply but leaving it here for future needs.
If you wanna hit a Crit based build for whatever reason, first of all you should mainhand Tauret and not Carnwenhan (or anything else) and "waste" your TP with non damaging WS (like Energydrain) as soon as you get over a certain threshold to maximize the amount of +Crit that Tauret gives you (the less TP you have, the more Crit rate it gives. It's roughly 50% with 0% TP, so pretty huge.
If you don't wanna waste the JA delay thing from using a WS, you can make a macro where you unequip and re-equip the offhand, same result (losing TP) but without the delay from using a WS, so more crit hits over the same amount of time.
Never tried this second approach myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Does anyone have any BRD savage blade sets?

I'm gonna try Naegling/KC during the card farm event coming up for Omen.

I didn't search all the pages yet, but didn't see any on the front page. Is BRD sword skill too low to make it worth while?

BRD can definitely use Naegling. I'd recommend Centovente over KC though.

I unfortunately don't know a min/maxed set but I just used the same set that I do for rudras.

Updated the BRD DD spreadsheet with the Nyame gear.
Can find it in the usual place. I swapped the URL though, if you used an old one please use this new one

I still haven't tested anything.
Nyame Body B should be inferior to Bihu+3 for both Mordant and Rudra because of the lower att (when att matters, of course) and slightly lower DEX/CHR which I don't think the DA+3 will compensate.
Just a hunch though.

The other 4 Nyame B pieces should be very good and likely BiS for Rudra at least.


5/5 Nyame A would be pretty awesome for TPing with a BRD AM3 Carn setup though, given how BRD doesn't have access to Malignance that would be quite the upgrade, at the small cost of needing 6% haste from some other source (Haste+10% aug on cape I suppose, sacrificing STP+10?).

10%DW on cape and you can switch Reiki and Eabani to Sailfi and Telos.

That's 1% DW away from the requirements though.
Granted it might still be more DPS than 10% Haste on cape + Reiki/Eabani, of course.

Thanks for updating the spreadsheet Sechs, been a massive help so cheers for that,l. I do have a question, in the custom section on the gears tab, why are there values of 3000 and 6000, should I delete those?

Those values are stuff I use to artificially cap attack and accuracy. You can remove them, change them or keep them to your heart's content.
I add and remove them myself according to what I want to test.

It's a ton of acc and att, that way I can test stuff on a specific target when my attack is capped for instance, and see if different gear wins in a specific slot, compared to when attack is uncapped.

I think it's useful to decide which piece you want to put in your lua.
The three scenarios I usually use for my tests are:
1) completely devoid of attack buffs
2) att capped
3) somewhere in between

Sometimes things don't go exactely like you expect and you get surprised with a piece winning when you expected another one to.
