First off I know TP can sometimes be left to boost dmg. Well that is what the senior BLUs said...

But I was wondering what ws are the best at the moment besides Almace's zorro. A lot of BLUs I know have recently come back to the game so they are still Vorpal and Savage-ing quite happily.

Also for w/e ws it is, I'm not sure what to use for hands, ammo and feet.

This is currently what I have ready, or close to getting:



Anwig is STR, ATK+ACC and WSdmg one. Do you think the Kavuk +2 would be a better option also?

I think Loki and Eponas are pretty good for Vorpal as well.

This is what I use for vorpal, there's a lot of improvements to be had, but I've gone as high as 3200 damage with this set up:



Mederi brogues are STR +6

Also OP, Blu cannot use Kemas earring, I recommend Aesir ear pendant or a flame pearl.

Edit: got beat to it :(

I always default to WS gorget/belt unless a WS has a large mod myself. Other than that, Alkalinejoe uses pretty much what I do for Vorpal.

That body is doing virtually nothing for you in Abyssea, unless for some odd reason you aren't accuracy capped, definitely drop it for a Loki's. Hands your best bet is Heafoc. Alternatively, you can either use Alcide's (+1), Enkidu's, Tarasque (+1), Barbarian, or Denali Wristbands. Feet you can go with Hume/Tarutaru RSE2, Areion's, Enkidu's, Rutter Sabatons, Alcide's (+1), or Agrona's Leggings. Legs you can either stick with those or use Tumbler Trunks for the attack.

I think this would be one of the best sets for Vorpal:



Or when the mob has high defense or you're lacking in attack:



I'm not sure if Soil Gorget/Belt would give better boosts, so I'm going to keep them out of the sets. I'm pretty sure Anguinus Belt would win over WS Belt though, simply due to the huge amount of attack on it that is extremely needed.

Keep in mind BLU doesn't hit high attack numbers like some of the 2 handed jobs out there, without /WAR and STR atmas at least. I would think something like RR/VV/Apoc would give best results with /WAR and meat food.
