7 hit with a low delay weapon is just as fast as 6 hit with a higher delay weapon. If you can find an ideal 7 hit I'd be interested. I'm probably going to build this as well if torcleave turns out to be better than quietus. Apocalypse is failing me now D:

Ideal setup would have Dusk gloves +1, ace's hose, adaberk, bale head +2, vbelt, etc, but that was just an example. edit: forgot about timarli body, but we don't even know what or how it spawns <_< and it's not like lieje drops its crown all the time.
Actually, Timarli body comes from Iratham, and you can easily replace Dusk Gloves with Timarli hands.

I know it does, but we don't even know the real spawn conditions of him, and timarli hands have a terribad drop rate.
This is better, obviously:

Hoard Ring makes it a perfect 6-hit but anyone with Caladbolg better have Eve's atma.
@Excelior: Torcleave is better than Quietus.

No, it's 80 but my friend has masamune. My getting a level 85 apoc isn't going to compare to his 3k damage WSs. I still average 1.3kish with catastrophe and 1.5ish with guill.

It's from iratham, speculated to randomly spawn at 0:00
This is the fastest 7-hit

But yea, save yourself 15 mil and go with this :x
Oh, and if you're outside of abyssea, you only need .66 more TP per swing, so Goading Belt and Attila's Earring can be used to keep 25% haste, -3% delay, and 7 hit

That's actually what I wanted to show, bolding important stuff and crossing out useless factors like hp/mp, enmity-, etc
and honestly, DG +1 are a waste of gil, specially with potential AF3 hands and Ace's gauntlets (inb4 ace's gauntlets have haste +5 acc -5 atk +10 or something)

You DO realize the hands I'm using are Timarli hands and are fairly easy to get, right?

Yep. Terribad drop rate though, but much better than 15m.

Actually, someone has killed Iratham, I talked to Niniann last night about it.

It was roaming around the mandy camp, although she said that when they killed it, it only dropped Aquiline Belt and Meridian Ring, but I believe it's safe to assume that, like Ovni and Turul, Iratham drops a body+2 common-ish items.

Process of elimination (we knew where all the other R/E ***came from once we finally found Myrmecoleon, WoE's ***isn't EX), plus there's been at least one NA kill now.

My understanding is that we have a lack of testing done atm.

Well, yes. You can make an easy 6hit with it.

A scythe would still be better than a naglering on weak stuff though, and some NMs too, if you are really buffed etc.

If you don't have buffs, or are fighting something with really high defense/evasion, 6hit Naglering would beat a 6hit scythe. The difference is in WS damage, to put in simply, Spinning slash VS guillotine.

However, Caladbolg's Torcleaver WS is just really good everywhere, apparently lol

Hence my previous comment of SE making better GSs now. (making them less situational etc.)
