What you're doing is comparing a relatively large damage difference to an incredibly small damage difference. If I wanted to say that it was ideal, I would, however I personally never mentioned anything about posting an "ideal" set, in fact when I posted a set I specifically mentioned that I was not including Khepri due to the small chance of getting them, thus posting a sub-optimal set that is still well into the range of top-tier equipment sets.

Also worth noting that Thaumas pants, Mantis eye, and some other gearswaps would be optimal on certain NMs where your hitrate is uncapped. There is no single ideal gear set.

However I can say with utmost confidence that 0 ideal gearsets will ever include a Khanda.

I *** hate the sarcasm tag. Still read it as someone bent over a toilet trying not to vomit.

Like me on Friday night.

Please move on Malekith if your point was to discuss Cdc and either get or pass on information then do that instead of causing more flames.

Had no idea what that was. Thought I needed to book an eye appointment.

On Topic. If one doesn't have Thaumas Gear and uses athos feet/legs and/or it's a day where athos hands > myrmex mittens, how would Athos body stack up in a situation where it's adding 3% Crit rate as well due to set bonus?

I very rarely use blu, but when I do my body options are Athos body or Tessera Saio, and I've been using Athos feet

You guys set the rules here. I got hammered for using the word ideal. So I posted an absolute ideal. And now I see you guys backtrack... wait change that ring, we don't need extra inventory. We'll do slightly less damage which is really negligible but it'll be ok.

So now you're saying personally, that you wouldn't include anything that you has a small chance of even being obtained. Well don't that beat all. So we're back to posting sets that reflect an ideal tempered by what we think we can obtain, which is what I did at the start.

My biggest error was in its naming, perhaps I should have just labeled it "Crit+/DMG set."

Is ephemeron reasonable to use if you magically obtained one, or does that falter to str+ as well?

What's the point of a Crit+/DMG set when it does less damage?

You got hammered because you said the set was ideal when it was very far from it, not because we want ideal gear sets.

Ephemeron is useless.

Figure it's about time someone posted an updated set

CURRENT SET

(MY) IDEAL SET

174 day necro to post what could be the worst item set ever posted in the blu forms. Bravo.

Thanks. I was joking about getting one the other day helping with clears. I still want one for novelty though D:

This is something I wanted answered from start. In the set I had posted. BODY/HANDS/LEGS = +9 CRIT DMG & 4% to crit rate (3% from first pair + 1% from next piece)

It's already been answered. It's not better than thaumas. I already answered the question about athos gloves as well.

It'd be pretty fun for procing with those massive tp drains. I'd still like some solid info on how it works (proc rate and average drain ect) though if anyone can point me to it.

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?

HOLYFUCKMYEYEEEES

it feels like i'm reading a CRT monitor that needs to be adjusted
