Mercy Stroke

Unstacked, Exenterator pulls ahead doing about 2K~ and MS doing 1.5~2K. Stacked though I'm doing 4.2K~ Mercy Strokes. Which after proc = dead so I don't really have to exenterator unless I get one of those lucky first try procs that I never get.

Must have different settings then because I don't have brutal earring, wanion or crudelis winning on my spreadsheet. They don't win on my personal spreadsheet either.

Athos body should do nearly identical to Toci and Tessera Saio, both beaten bad by Khepri. Whirlwind should do nearly identical damage to Athos legs, both beaten bad by Khepri again(for SA).

We're probably using different targets. If I switch to Pil & Qilin then Prosilio starts winning.

Yeah, had that already.

QFT. The spreadsheet has it's drawbacks, but you're best off covering the broad strokes there.

So do you think K body beats Tocis

Khepri body can be augmented with 5% WS Dmg, so yes.

For those without Khepri Bonnet or Hecatomb +1, Nemetona Cap is a nice alternative if you do Meebles. Abatteur Subligar beats Whirlwind easily for SA but loses to Khepri. For TA: Thaumas > Khepri > Abatteur > Whirlwind.

Working on making a Mandau and thinking of using this set for it, just looking for input on it.

Head has 3 Double Attack on it
Feet have 3 STR 4 Attack

SA
HD and FT are Aug. The dagger is nice if you dont want to spent all that time farming or buying those 70k Geodes .
If you have Abatteur Subligar > Whirlwind
And you ever get a Khepri BD(Lol Good luck) > Toci

TA
Same dagger has above.

If that's a TA Mercy set, it's bad. I'm not sure about what's ideal atm, haven't looked in a few months, but I know Heca hands and two vulcan pearls will come ahead. I've also had Toci's come out on top depending on buffs and mobs.

For TA+Mercy I have this set winning (excluding tessera, khepri)

Hecatomb +1 (needs at least 3 DA, 4 atk to beat Thaumas)
Justiciar's
Brutal
Vulcan's Pearl
Kudzu
Hecatomb +1
Pyrosoul
Pyrosoul
Cerberus +1
Prosilio
Thaumas
Thaumas

While I can replicate:

Thaumas Hat > Hecatomb Cap +1 specified as you said

Thaumas Nails > Hecatomb Leggings +1 when fSTR is capped and PDIF is uncapped, or you are benefiting from the full DA

Kudzu > Athos when PDIF is high, but not capped, and you are benefiting from the full DA or fSTR is uncapped

I cannot find a situation or variation of the above pieces of equipment that will show Brutal beating a second Vulcan's Pearl in spreadsheet. Perhaps the stats you are using could help me?

Thaumas Hat and Nails are a good find. Puts me in a dilemma of whether I should work harder on good augments or be happy to clear a spot in my inventory. I'd go with Nails over Leggings because it's not common to not cap fSTR in a Mercy Stroke set. But between the two bodies though, I'd still use Athos over Kudzu unless you know the stats of what you're fighting exactly.

Hmm..

2str/11agi/14atk/3da vs [10-to-11]str/[4-to-6]atk (+5 atk from str)

11agi
3-5 atk
3DA

vs

8-9str

It's still kind of a hard sell

I'm using Hume /dnc with bison steak against dyna DC with 12 str and 12 dex merits. My bad for not specifying. I didn't add any buffs because I'm usually in the non-DD party for ADL farming and ADL itself.

Okay, I could get it to win when changing from RCB to Bison Steak! Seems like to be above a non-negative DA but without the DA boost from WAR, it'll come out 1 point ahead... I'd generally stick with Vulcan's Pearl though. Even if you don't want to spend 8mil on a second earring (or however expensive it is on other servers), I tend to see Vulcan's Earring still coming out ahead in most situations as well.

In TA wouldnt Rog. Armlets +1 > Hecatomb +1 ??
add alittle more agi and i think you would pull ahead?

No because STR > AGI in a TAMS and those hands don't give enough AGI to warrant using them over a good pair of augmented Hecatomb Mittens
