Also, who the hell cares if someone curses at you? Do we magically not have a filter option or what
Actually I do care, I got nailed for it in another thread spoke to a mod about it so I guess that's the new reality. What goes for me goes for all assuming the forum rules are being applied evenly.

That aside, there are plenty of ways of making a point without resorting to profanity. If you want I'll make an exception for you but only if your vocabulary is only a few dozen words or your IQ < 100.

Funny, the guy is talking about low IQs when he's yet to post a single number supporting his
absolutely amazing
double attack offhand.

If you need set advice, post it in a way that is asking for set advice. That'd have headed off 100% of it.
As I know what most think of me on here, people could have ignored, blocked me so as to not seen the comment or done many other things that I'm sure the mods would have advised.

Whatever deficiencies that are presumed it's not like I'm in here like Nabis posting a set equivalent to his 3-hit Zanshin build or other similarly trollish posts. I merely posted in a thread titled "CDC set suggestions for VW." I merely posted what I felt would be an ideal set, my ideal set based off what I could get and would use in VW.

If someone had all the gear I listed, barring the offhand sword and could run numbers showing a flaw that would be appreciated. Proth did that to an extent. A critique like that is appreciated. The bandwagon bashing, profanity and silly assumptions are not.

It's not like multi-attack offhand weapons haven't been discussed and trashed in almost every thread in every job forum to which they apply.

Offhand is what it is, it's going no where. I've already conceeded there are better options. Beat a dead horse, why don'tcha? My point of inquiry was whether it's worth stacking athos to take advantage of the set bonus? The only numbers I need to share would be between the two sets posted, and since I haven't gotten a few pieces (athos leg/body) there's no way I can do that.

Keep being an internet thug it's helping pass a slow afternoon...

Seriously. No one even close to cares about your ideal of gimpetry. Numerous times have I, and others, gone over how and why multiattack offhands are absolute ***. Information about what gear to wear for CDC has also been made available.


If you need someone to hold your hand for every single piece of equipment that you put on and cannot draw a reasonable conclusion based on what's already been covered countless times by myself and others, then I don't know what to tell you.


As for your crusade of being butthurt over my responses to you, none of us are stupid enough to fall for your attempted shift of conversation. Stop trying.

For someone who's trying to trash talk others on here for using poor grammar you'd think you'd know not to use the word ideal when describing a set that isn't ideal. An "ideal" set for you is the same ideal set for everyone because there is only 1 ideal.

Also as long as I can remember on the BLU forums it has been talked about how DA/OaT swords are garbage and how after every update they are still garbage in comparison to other options. You either chose to ignore this or didn't bother doing your homework. At which point putting one in an "ideal" set will get it called out.

I'm not mad, I'm blunt. There's a difference. It takes more than a fool on FFXIAH to make me mad.

Can someone pull the plug on this banter? It's really counter-productive to the aims of the OP.

At this point it would be better for everyone to just drop it. Facts have been given, proper sets have been posted, and questions have been answered. If there are any residual personal issues why not take it to pms instead of ruining a good thread?

Then every itemset posted that doesn't include Khepri, a 99 (with afterglow) Almace and an offhanded tizona should roundly be shot down with ridicule!


Perhaps it's just semantics on my part. Again I posted what was an ideal for me based on what I have/could get/ and hope to in the near term. As for the sword, it's going nowhere. I've no desire to add yet another trial to the list I'm already working on. Furthermore, I've already said replace it with whatever you deem best, which iirc the majority of you have deemed is the 99 STR/ATK model.

I've ceded the point there, and yet that's all anyone wants to harp on. Never once have I written or argued that my sword choice is what I think everyone else should use. I was more interested in what other people thought of the gear chosen for the other slots.

When addressing a reasonably achievable gearset there's a giant difference between Legion abjurations and a fricking magian sword.

Nope that's not the argument, folks got mad because I used the word Ideal in my original post. So if we're talking about ideal, we're going beyond what's reasonably attainable, it's all about what's best period... because that's how everyone here has carried the argument today.

The set has been fixed, I swear I selected the HQ not the NQ off the drop down list.
Please don't beat me...

Aside from that everything else look good? I even chose the 99 almace with the afterglow because it's the uber-est!

Also, it's perfectly fine to post "This is an ideal set, barring (e.g. HQ abjuration gear) since it's not reasonably obtainable." I do it all the time in the DNC threads.

If it truly is the best options barring whatever carrot you're ignoring, no one will argue.

BUT GAIIIIZ we're talking about an absolute ideal here, who cares about more inventory? If i can do 3 extra dmg with it vs. the other option, I have to take the 3 extra damage don't I? Don't I?
