Perle Really Better?

Never had app, I did lol at not only how so many ppl were shocked at the people who used it, but the fact that ppl were trying to justify using it. All people are HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

FFXIParser was just so *** simple, you just click start and ur good to go, even the saving it fast and accessible. I think Kparser was a little more accurate though, I just hate bad interfaces.

It's fun to stir up the pot and see what comes of it :D Peeps gave up too early :( I think I was being too stupid :\

But really I want to get a parse that works >< I can't get memloc for the one I used to use XD

I am.. pretty frustrated... and i'm only reading this.

I guess my question to you is. Would you Swap out your Askar body for Ebody If you could attain it?

If your answer is yes, which it should be, Understand this,
Ebody set Stands at:
14haste
28acc
15atk
10str
10dex
This is Wala Turban Homam hands/feet/legs Ebody (ofc)
(this setup is better IF you have Dusk+1 hands im sure)

Alternatively You have this Perle Set:
STR +22
DEX +14
VIT +10
Attack +25
Accuracy +18
Haste +14%
"Critical hit rate" +2%

Please enlighten me how 4 Double attack % beats either of these sets when CLEARLY Perle beats EBody/Homam w/o Dusk+1 hands which both Beat Askar/polegrip/Homam set. If you said yes to Ebody, How do you Justify the stat loss of EBody set Over Perle set? In Comparison, Perle's stats out class EbodySet. How exactly is the Ebody magically doing better than your 4% double attack.

If your thinking Askar body and pole grip is your end all because of double attack, you sir, on the moon.

and LOL @ Raelia's post <3

Oh ***, I See what i did there. I honestly thought Drg could wear it haha. Guess i had my Drk on the brain. My bad.

since when can drg wear ebody? This is a dragoon thread after all!!!

It's still a damn good point tho >_>

It's not a point at all because a page back OP already admitted he was trolling. If you're not gonna read at least 2 pages, don't post. That's why he's getting made fun of.

I've been arguing about DA gear vs other stuff so many times idk when people really troll anymore -_-
(Mostly WAR AF feet vs dusk\better shoes)

talked to him on skype

sadly he wasn't trolling :/

HAHA are you *** shitting me? You really called it right saying he was trying to save face? Someone understands haste enough to buy a blitz ring, but not enough to understand how little of an impact 4% DA is piled onto an already 5%.

I bet his askar body isn't worn for the stp but because he thinks it's amazing, I hope he never levels sam. :/

if i had to guess, i'd say he asked someone for gear advice and followed it to the letter without fully understanding it

I hope Elana never levels drg past 7. I've never seen her post one coherent thing on the boards. I'm sure she will get butthurt at me for saying this like she did before, can't wait for her to post something else on my page because she can't defend herself with logic. :(

Jurai:

The gear (head/body/hands/legs/feet) in the OP and 5/5 Perle both grant 14% haste total.

The OP gear also has 13 acc, 12 att, and 5 STR.
5/5 Perle has 18 acc, 25 att, 22 STR, and 14 DEX.

Based on that comparison alone, 5/5 Perle is the better choice, hands-down.

However, for the weapon you're using (delay 492), when subbing /SAM, you need Askar Body to maintain 6-hits for 100 TP. Thus, I would keep the equipment you're using in the OP for DRG/SAM, when you are WS'ing @ 100 TP. That situation, and when you are subbing a mage job, are the only times I would use the Askar/Homam OP gear set.

If you're subbing /WAR or /NIN, you're not going to be getting 6-hits for 100 TP, in either gear set. You need to equip 8 points of STP to maintain 7-hits for 100 TP. Rajas Ring + Brutal Earring takes care of 6 STP points, but you still need 2 more. Askar Body could do that, but you'd be losing out on the acc/att/STR/DEX bonuses from 5/5 Perle. Instead, I would switch to Rose Strap and use the 5/5 Perle for DRG/WAR or DRG/NIN.

Sorry for the length of the reply. There's nothing "wrong" with the OP gear set. It's very good. It's just not optimal in all situations. If you're in a crunch for inventory space, I would understand not wanting to stock both the Askar/Homam set and the Perle set. But, if you want to get down to the technical aspects and push DRG as your main job, then use the Askar/Homam/Pole set for /SAM and /WHM, but use a 5/5 Perle/Rose set for /WAR and /NIN.

Please don't use the gear set that Rellz posted. Mixing Homam and Perle gimps your damage output somewhat. The biggest plus of using Perle equipment comes from using all 5 pieces for the total 14% Haste (there's a misprint on the helm's description). Using Rellz gear set you'd only get 13% haste, you wouldn't get 6-hit with SAM sub, nor would you get 7-hit with WAR or NIN sub. Rellz would be better off using 5/5 Perle and Rose Strap for all subjobs, unless he has Askar or Aurum Body AND Homam or Barbarossa's legs for DRG/SAM.

What exactly is "illogical" about this post, oh king of the feminine wash cloth, Samuraiking?:

The advice here is based on knowledge of haste mechanics, Store TP mechanics, weapon delay mechanics, and subjob mechanics. All seems pretty logical to me. The analysis is thorough and detailed. I'm sorry if you can't be bothered to read the whole post, or if your smallish mind can't process it all, but there's certainly nothing "incoherent" about what I typed.
Have a nice day.

Lolinsults, More HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE ***here, even more HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE ***and something about not understanding logic.

You want him to climb the mountain with a bike when it's cheaper to have that helicopter over there fly you to the top.

Freakin' A ...

I mentioned Rose Strap multiple times in the god damn post.
