If you are going to be doing Voidwatch I would also consider having a straight damage Great sword. The save tp+20 atmacite and regain+3 atmacite combined with a cor in the party can result in a single swing between weaponskills and may make the OAT seem lackluster.
Supose that's more of a DRK situation tho I don't know what you guys are talking about? I have a mythic GS and it rocks. No, but seriously the mythic GS thing was a joke. One that I've seen made a bunch so I tried to nip it in the bud. Failed.
Hmm i keep been told for merited WSs +100TP bonus is the best option >.>

This is of course from my DRK point of view though not my PLD. That's assuming you have loltacticians.
There are better rolls Lakshmi.Galith said: » You probably heard that because of how good the sam TP Bonus GK is, however I think the greatsword one is only a 17% increase in ftp whereas the GK is 56%. Still not a horrible option. Being a SAM I was leaning towards suggesting the TP bonus to my PLD friend as well, but if the return isn't as great as it is with Shoha perhaps the STR GS is the way to go? Remember he is a PLD and not a DRK so the attack would probably help as well I'd assume.

Remember he is a PLD and not a DRK so the attack would probably help as well I'd assume. i was thinking this same thing actually. I wonder how the weaponskill damage +10% comes into play here Rag = OaT > Calad > TP bonus > /ws +10 > others.

I'm not very good at math or whatever but heres my attempt ><
Something like this Ragnarok (95) [Main] All Races DPS: 1852 DMG:133 Delay:431 Accuracy+35 Increases rate of critical hits IV "Scourge" LV 95 WAR PLD DRK Kauriraris (tp bonus) [Main] All Races DPS: 1447 DMG:110 Delay:456 LV 99 PLD DRK Kauriraris (weaponskill damage) DPS: 1539 DMG: 117 Delay 456 LV 99 PLD DRK Tenebreuse (STR) DPS:1662 DMG: 123 Delay: 444 STR+11 attack +26 LV 99 PLD DRK Fulgurante (Occ att 2x) DPS: 1300 DMG: 104 Delay: 480 LV 99 PLD DRK Resolution 20~100% STR (assuming 100%) 0.71875 at 100% 0.84375 at 200% 0.96875 at 300% That is just measuring up pure DPS, taking into account the hidden effect on Ragnarok (as well as high base damage and dps) I'd place a firm bet that it is #1, resolution gets a 15%~ increase between 100% and 200% so I would probably put the TP bonus ahead of the ws damage +10% but I would imagine that in events such as voidwatch you often have dusty wings and whatnot so the weaponskill damage +10% might come ahead, I really don't know how it would fare up to the STR Tenebreuse because I'm not good at math... That also means I'm not quite sure how to factor in occ atk 2x. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edit: store tp/hit build oooooooooookay so sam sub gives 20 store tp remember that for the info below. The values aren't including Store Tp III Ragnarok 431 delay 14 store tp needed for a 8 hit 30 store tp needed for a 7 hit 52 store tp needed for a 6 hit Kauriraris 456 delay (both ws damage and tp bonus have same delay) 6 store tp needed for a 8 hit 22 store tp needed for a 7 hit 42 store tp needed for a 6 hit Tenebreuse 444 delay 11 store tp needed for a 8 hit 27 store tp needed for a 7 hit 48 store tp needed for a 6 hit Fulgurante 480 delay 10 store tp needed for a 7 hit 29 store tp needed for a 6 hit 54 store tp needed for a 5 hit maybe someone can use this info to calculate out which has a higher weaponskill frequency, Kauriraris (both) actually look to be really fine weapons from what I can see x.x Fenrir.Skarwind said: » Quetzalcoatl.Dawnn said: » Asura.Arkanethered said: » Rag = OaT > Calad > TP bonus > /ws +10 > others. i love how TWICE, you try to pull off one liners without any proof, theorycraft, or numbers to back up what you say :/ its very anticlimactic, you need SOMETHING to back up what you claim otherwise people like me are left here scratching my head trying to figure out your reasoning Figure out the reasoning by browsing the DRK forums no offense. I can get a basic idea from there but ultimately pld and drk are somewhat different to gear, taking into consideration pld's lack of attack DPS figures like that are meaningless.
Fenrir.Minjo said: » DPS figures like that are meaningless. your welcome to contribute something meaningful then :3 I'd say it's pretty meaningful to point out that one shouldn't make any decisions based on those numbers. Increases in WS frequency, for instance, aren't accounted for, and are a gigantic part of an actual comparison.
Fenrir.Minjo said: » I'd say it's pretty meaningful to point out that one shouldn't make any decisions based on those numbers. Increases in WS frequency, for instance, aren't accounted for, and are a gigantic part of an actual comparison. this is true, it wasn't meant to be an end all figure, lets build off it and figure out the hierarchy of greatswords with SOME sort of reason here. That's what I was attempting to do. I'm not very used to FFXI maths, but as far as I can see when trying, WS dmg GS* pulls ahead of TP bonus.
Edit: Typoo Edit2: Hmm, actually not, ah f**k this, I need an adult to make sure I do this correctly. Would be nice to figure out for sure <_> Edit3!: tp bonus base dmg 110 (fstr= 16), ws dmg base dmg 117(fstr= 17) WS BASE DMG TP BONUS = ((110 + 16 + 144) x 5.21875) = 1409 WS BASE DMG WS DMG = ((117 + 17 + 144) x 4.59375) x 1.1 = 1404 Random numbers I used: lower fstr cap then added 4 for randomness. Assumed 160 STR for WSC. Assumed both ws gorget\belt and 5 hits landed. Any math-person that can confirm/tell me what I'm doing wrong? I figured pdif doesnt really matter, as it's added after base dmg and would'nt change what's better. Ofc this is just for pure ws dmg, ws dmg GS would be a bit better on tp phase with more base dmg, maybe they'r just basicly equal? |
