Currently 5/8 on polearm merits and was just looking to probe the infinite wisdom of the ffxiah forums. Usually averaging around 900-1000k on merit birds and was just wondering how much I can squeeze out of each penta with some gear changes. Working on getting tomoe and shadow gorget at the moment, but any suggested changes to my gear set up would be great welcomed.

This is what I TP in


And this is my penta ws build

Champion's has 6-STR, 2-Haste, and WS ACC. +15%

I TP in assault earring, too. It's flippin awesome.

As for changes, if that's a meat build, you need a little more acc. If that's a sushi build, you can take off some acc (like ring2) for some more raw stats (like flame ring).

Would be easier to make recommendations if I knew which food you were eating.

Also, which buffs do you have when you average that?

Yea sorry meant for fowling earring.

I eat meat because this is really only for birds, and as for buffs its always the usual x2 march or march madrigal from brds. Cor usually gives chaos and either samuri or war rolls.

Well w/ an acc buff, that changes the game. I usually go w/ no acc buffs and meat since I don't need. I'm leaving here soon though and no power so I won't be able to do all the math :(. We'll see if anyone else has any suggestions for you. I have 2 hrs on my laptop when i get home before the battery dies, but no lights, and I hate using the computer calculator lol

Also wouldn't something like this work better. Especially if you get HQ and put more like 10 ws acc on there?

Nah, NQ > HQ. HQ's delay is too low and will break your 5hit. Tomoe still wins because that acc is only for ws, where as tomoe's acc is for TP and WS, so while it's less acc for ws (but you are taking off haste gear and using more acc than tp build anyways), it's more ws frequency because tomoe's 5 acc applies for all.

I wish sam could use assault earring ; ;
But this is what I currently tp in

(This isn't a true 5/hit since you'll only get 19 tp a swing but if you count penta as the first swing its 5 hit)

WS


I use kabobs with that set up on birds w/o acc songs/rolls. Last parse on birds I think was around 93% acc. I still need Bando's and a B tathlum yet but this works for now^^

Thanks =^.^= I still need a few things yet. I'm requesting the Moogle head to switch to the Galea and a Love Torque would be cool too. Working on V belt atm too! Also you can use synergy to put plm ws acc on a Rosenbogen.



Love Lady Gaga too!

I also agree with vegetto about pt buffs. I always go with 2x march + 2x minuet or Chaos + Cor with a cor. With enough acc in your tp and ws build you'll be able to spam kabobs then too
