According to the Motenten spreadsheet (which you should totally download because it's awesome) a DC Nightmare mob has, on average, 435 Defense, 98 AGI, and 95 VIT.

From those values:
98 + 50 = 148 DEX to cap dDEX.
2.25 * floor(435 * .875) = 855 Attack to cap attack, with the 12.5% defense down from acid bolts.

STR cap is a little harder:
Mandau 99 has a weapon rank of floor(55 / 9) = 6.
Aphotic has a weapon rank of floor(91 / 9) = 10.
Upper cap of fSTR is rank + 8, so (18, 14).
fSTR is approximately (STR - VIT + 4) / 4, so:
(18, 14) = (STR - 95 + 4) / 4
(72, 56) = STR - 91
(163, 147) = STR

You'd need 147 STR to cap on Mandau, and 163 for Aphotic.


Hmmm, so far TP: STR is at 155, DEX is at 129, Attack is at 818 with RCB.

SA Mercy: STR is 203, Attack is at 808.

So going by those numbers I'm way over the fSTR cap on Mercy on Dynamis DC mobs, and these others are all not quite that far off from capping, might be possible to get them all with a few tweaks.

So far up to, 820 Attack with RCB, 161 STR, and still 129 DEX, with Rank 15 Manibozho Feet/legs. I think if I use Attack path Manibozho Jerkin, and DEX path Aphotic Kukri should put me right there. Probably a few points over in case the specific mob stats vary slightly.

Sucks losing Thaumas Coat. ><; But I don't see much more viable way to do it. ><;

A question about critical hit rate. After the last couple of Dynamis runs, I was curious and checked my critical hit rate on scoreboard, both time it came to about 15%~. I tried to break that down to understand where it was all coming from. By the dDEX page on BGwiki, 4% of it is DEX, I have critical hit rate merits, which accounts for 5%. That's only 9% though. I really don't have any other critical hit rate gear though, since the only items that would seem decent to use are rancor items, and I have bad experiences using them as a tarutaru.

Can anyone explain where the other 6%~ is coming from? I have no other job traits or job abilities that enhance critical hit rate, other than SA, and SA is really only used with Mercy Stroke, occasionally I'll get some weird lag and my WS macro won't go off after pushing it like 2-3x. But that's rare. If it does happen during a run, it usually only like once or twice.

Critical hit rate:
5% minimum
5% from merits
4% allegedly from dex
= 14% total

After that, it's just margin of error.

Ah ok, didn't realize we had a 5% minimum crit rate before anything else, now it makes more sense, thank you =)

Picked up izhiikoh and whirlpool mask and cleaned up the TP set a lot better, I lost my fSTR cap since I can't really utilize Manibozho Jerkin to the fullest extent any more, and the fact that Izhiikoh needs 171 STR to cap. But I was able to get my Triple Attack back up to a 19% proc rate while sustaining dDEX and Attack caps.

Interesting little thing I noticed as well. Since I'm roughly about 20~ over the attack cap atm, if I was able to acquire an Uk'uxkaj Cap http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Uk%27uxkaj_Cap , It would actually put me right at fSTR cap while maintaining enough attack to stay capped, AND give me enough extra DEX to drop Love Torque for Nefarious Collar, and if I'm bawlsy enough, Rancorous Mantle for Atheling Mantle. Which when added to the 3% on the Cap and the 25% I already have in there from base/merits/dDEX cap would put me at about at about a 36%~ crit rate.

That Cap from Hurkan is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

Been back for about 2-3 weeks and tried to get back into Dynamis farming to supplement my catch up status, only farmed on 3 separate days so far as the first part was mostly figuring all the new stuff out. All I really have upgraded over my old gear though is Mandau 119 and I've been averaging 400~ a run, 411 > 399 > 405 respectively.

Before I left most I averaged was 350-360.

Seemed kind of like a big jump from before for just 1 piece of gear, so it got me to thinking, and I'm just curious now. What do you guys average with today's top maxed gear, just kinda of wondering what I should be shooting for once I'm caught up on THF.

Damn, so assuming it balances out the same way it did about a year ago, I assume you get about 500~ or so solo? That's pretty straight. =0

THF/DNC + DNC/00 is an amazing proc/farm setup. :)

ItemSet 324531

Threw this together researching gear as a new set to get for Dynamis TP. Keeps me fSTR/dDEX/Attack capped on DC mobs with 25% Triple Attack rate and 35% Critical Hit rate.

Izhiikoh is one *** of a dagger to cap fSTR on....

Swapped rajas ring out for pyrosoul ring as I don't need the extra DEX in Dynamis, and was still shy on STR for izhiikoh.

Hard to believe coz most camps I know, dualboxing I had to wait for repops(and was alone in the camp) and this was pre ilvl, now can kill faster so is worst and top I could make was 800sh.

And bst/dnc w\o pet is the best proc, charm works flawlessly

No oneiros ring?

No MP merits atm, anyway. Maybe when SE adds those merit extensions they will add another piece of gear that will let me keep fSTR capped on Izhiikoh w/o the Pyrosoul Ring,until then I think this should work.

Don't get me wrong I have thought about it, though. But I'd rather be spending my merits on AA'a atm.
