Catastrophe Set Help.
Catastrophe set help.
just recently got my Apoc and need a good setup for Cata please advise. Only looking for a WS set i have aftermath covered.
[+]
Lacking separate Aftermath and Non-aftermath sets for TP. Apocalypse Owners, I am disappoint.
i dont think they are lacking. OP said he didnt need help with that so i assume they just didnt waste time posting it.
I think its for the STP for 5hit.
I am assuming its to keep an x-hit build. He uses Armadaberk in uncapped, for attack, which most likely also has STP augmented on it.
Ofcourse I have an AM down set lol.
Yes both WS sets are to keep my 5hit.
Armadaberk has stp6 da3.

Ok sorry. I didn't understand a seperate macro for an 8 attack swing.
*edit* 17 with ammo, but still I was confused

Here's the poor man's way to a 5-hit.
can swap out ammo, the belt and the back for WS and keep the 4 hit rebuild.
Tactical mantle sucks!!! I sold my tathlum a while ago and am waiting for the new ammo piece so until I can get one, I'm stuck in 6-hit city.

Calling someone HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE when you used the wrong form of "you're" and are also only half right isn't really a good idea. Twilight is indeed better if cRatio is capped, but in moderately high cRatio situations you'll find them almost identical and Grim +1 will be superior when fighting high level/defense NMs if not well buffed.

Only when attack is capped (or last resort is down). On most of the VW stuff Grim +1 will pull ahead or Twilight Mail.
Attack is a pretty big deal.
A jp friend of mine told me it was recently verified that atk doesnt cap at 999, just the display.
could be true, could be false, but from my experience with them they are almost always on point with their info~

We were already aware of this.

Even in VW, between LR,Stal,Endark and debuffs your attack should be capped.
This is the set I use for Catastrophe:
Very similar to other sets posted here, but I am able to use a Pole grip over a Rose strap due to my TP set. I'm still waiting for SE to come out with a "beats all" option for hands, but until then I'll stick with Onyx as they are not worth selling.
When Grim +1 came out I thought for sure it would be the best body for Cata, but as stated above attack is so easily capped nowadays that Twilight is the clear winner.
5-hit TP, Aftermath up: (Armadaberk with STP+6 DA+3 Subtle Blow+5)

Why not use Heafoc and Spiral?
And regain moonshade /duck

I'm not great with ffxi math but let's say 700 base attack + 62.5 attack if endark is 400 dark magic skill /20 x 2.5 + 12.5.
765 + 25% (last resort) + 10% (stalwarts which i couldn't find a value for online while at work).
Without debuffs im looking at 1025ish attack and that's not even 256th'ing percentages right. I recall reading somewhere something about 1200 attack needed to cap attack (was in a torcleaver thread) on voidwrought and you only have last resort like 71% of the time...

Pretty sure Stalwart's is 25% but I'd have to go back and check.
That would explain his uncapped cRatio set, wouldn't it?

Khthonios gloves should be the best out there in most situations

Yes it would. Now given that his Adaberk has the STP mod on it, its probably worth the sacrifice of 16 attack in order to maintain the 5 hit. However Grim +1 will be a better performing piece when you need the attack.
