/WAR I'm not so sure on with OAT but I'll check it out in a sec.

Thanks. Yeaaah, so he's better off sticking with a 6-hit for awhile then.

Made an infernal scythe build for shits and giggles (ambering in abyssea too) :)

Not sure on which cape to use though, any room for improvement or suggestions?

Ker's Gauntlets may be an upgrade!

Edit: self correction, played with spreadsheets and apparently this tp set wins..


One thing is for sure I'm gonna feel very...special with this.





Notes: no abjurations and phorcys is only legs and body.

Am I making any sense?(inb4 nope)

These are not what I think are right but legitimate questions:
What about Abs. Cuirass +2 over the Phorcys body?
Shasow belt vs Wanion?
Dual icesoul on rings?
Drachenhorn over Twilight?
Huginn over Ogier's?

Ugol/Mavros Gauntlets/sollerets/brayettes should be good enough to hold you off until you get the other phorcys pieces / Dilaram's drop.

Assuming we're talking torcleaver here, so i'm going off of that lol.

------------
For resolution, I'd assume, Drachenhorn over Mekira-oto(+1) on days you're not going to be getting the Ftp increase~

I didn't even think about the abyss +2 set, Drachenhorn is slightly better to use than Twilight helm too.

As for phorcys vs Abyss +2, it looks like 5 mab and 10 int vs 10 str and +7% weapon skill damage.

Main reason I used an augmented Diamond ring and spiral over Dual icesouls is to prevent the str reduction on icesouls which would in turn drop wsc slightly, And I haven't been able to try huginn vs ogier's as I have neither yet~

I could get Hrafn hose, but I'd be wasting gil and an abjuration :<

You have 45 store tp in gears, it means it's sub war right?
Otherwise if you sub sam you could switch hands and legs to ares +1 I think.

Ares set bonus might actually lower your dps for am3.

Mythic AM3 is 40/40/20, or 1.6 attacks per round. Only Kraken club makes DA counterproductive, while 2-4 Magians make it no effective gain (though it still normalizes and improves your effective hitbuild).

Question:

I use sea gorget and elemental belt for my Resolution build (soil). Resolution is Fragmentation and Scission. Because of this, is soil still ok to use or should i swap to either breeze or thunder?

All three work just fine. We usually just carry Soil Gorget/Belt to save space because it works for Catastrophe, Resolution and Entropy.

Thats the exact reason why I figured i would get Soil instead of others. Just wanted to make sure I had made the right choice.

Love the avatar btw, odd how in that show Scanty and Kneesocks (while the hotter of the 4) are far more rule and law abiding, thus being "good" than the so called angels.

Aside from the HQ 5-hit fulgurante (25% Haste), most of the Fulgurante TP sets listed have capped haste.

I worded that wrong. I mean sets for Embrava, or LR/Haste/March

Ah, gotcha. I think I would wager on this set for a 5-hit-ish build for embrava? could use some tuning up.

Looks okay if you can squeeze in a bit more accuracy somehow

So I made a Last resort set for SpellCast:


Is this only good when I have something like Embrava up with LR?

I would have to have Marches & Haste up with LR for this set to be effective correct?

Yes, but only if it's a 99 Ghorn BRD, otherwise 13% haste in gear won't cap you.
