If you have no Madrigals/Hunter's Roll we're back to square one. You routinely fight monsters that require at least 475 accuracy to cap hitrate on DRG?

EDIT: Since you haven't responded I'll say the answer for you: no. You can throw "balanced" around all you want, you've too much accuracy in your build for 99% of endgame targets if you're eating the proper food. Might I suggest a high accuracy TP macro for the 1% and a full haste TP macro for everything else?

Also, your SAM doesn't have a 6-hit.

This is the set I use, it's at around 395 acc I believe before food. Not sure if I need to use rose strap or not and I use cletine because I don't want to spend any time/money on the job lol



My WS set pretty much sucks. Atm i'm aiming for heca hands and askar head/legs. Does anyone know off-hand how much Dex i'd need to reach at a merit camp using drakesbane?

117 DEX for Greater Colibri (you won't cap on Mamools), Rose Strap is indeed needed to maintain your 6-hit since it's a 480 delay polearm.

Ha thanks I got a long way to go then >.> Think i'll be meriting on SAM for a while to come, it's so much easier to get a decent penta setup for me at least.

@ Rafik: TBH I don't know i've only ever used DRG in merit pt twice since I hit 75 4-5 months ago. I much prefer to use SAM as with cor/brd buffs and crab sushi I can penta for 1.5-2k. DRG only has about 90 dex sam has ~110... My drakes i think were doing around 750-900 iirc.

ow

I dont like to merit on sam... I hate it when people turn the mob, when I have full overhelm. Yeah I love pentra on sam, more than my drg can do lol I prefer mnk over all other jobs...

Oh, btw I gave you some advice about your upcoming war on the other thread, not sure if you read it yet.

Lol had to go look it up hadn't checked that thread after logging for bed.

Sadly I gave up on lvling War when I started my LS >< though I might start it up again soon. Aurum feet do suck to get probably won't finish war till I get them and heca body XD

I mainly used war for einherjar, kirin burns and some sea when tomahawk was needed. Love to come /sam and be a mp sponge lol

Should finish war when you can, properly geared and well merited war is deadly.

This thread keeps jumping all over the place XD but I guess better than a new thread.

I've settled on this for TP and WS for now:



Use Ulth ring cause been using pizza.. even if not, Iota is best I have for more acc there so just stick with it. Fowling instead of Assault earring = no thanks. Want to get that cape for acc eventually.



Optical hat cause idk keep getting like 3% return from Drakesbane.. will swap to Wyvern Helm once I get some merits or Askar when I get that. Iota once again.. 500k+ for a STR or DEX ring not worth it atm.

My sam does not have a 6 hit with dusk gloves, but i switch to hachiman kote most of the time. Dusk gloves only if i have carbonara on for tanking/dd +6 hit.

I can't see you having any issues with that setup looks pretty solid to me and is pretty much what I was aiming to get at some point.

this set nets me 94% acc
why i choose askar over w.turban (uncapped acc)
Polearm merited 8/8
Thal has DEX+1 augment (+3 total)
Foragers has DEX+2 augment (str+3 dex+2 att+15) ('.')b


VS Birdies (117 DEX)
Neuvo is augmented for my PLD but the dex+5 lets me hit the 117 mark, str+5 too

Dusk Gloves + Rose Strap - 20% haste 6 hit
Pole Grip + Hachi Kote - 17% haste 6 hit

This isn't SAM section or thread.

What is the "117" DEX for?
