Using your VW gear set. Also I'm a taru so these numbers are for a taru.
I don't know about you guys but I've spent millions of gil and hours of my life on a smaller improvement than 15 DPS.
Now if our goal is something other than DPS, well maybe I'm in the wrong thread.
your calculations assume too much, my server your usually stuck with either brd or cor, not always both. I also am aimed mainly at T6 or final vw content, where as having relic and acc in atmacites wont do anything special on qilin

K... Ig Alima, eating food cause we care now. Red Curry Bun
530.4, 536.4, 546.5 Respectively.
Personally I'm not doing VW without 2 brds at a minimum for buffers. Also coercion barely wins if the only haste you have is from gear. That's the only way coercion wins.
Oh, or if you spend more time disengaged than engaged. yeah

I think I'll give a try to Dark Designs/Valiant/Deluges. There's not only the da, but you also get the stp of /sam while being /war, which I think is worth something at least. And I use Caladbolg so the vit can't hurt for my torcleaverz.

Not to be "that guy" but did you use dark designs, or depths lol. I'm asking out of personal interest, not to harp on you.

I haven't ran any numbers recently but Soups set is identical to the desired set I worked out for myself after Salvage V2 release. So I'll happily endorse what he's posted!

Valiant/Latitude/Deluges
This is my setup atm. Need to reso in Rajas ring, or Karieyh Sollerets.
6hit, Caps acc on Ig-Alima and the like with Aggressor or DE.
Let's see...
If attack is capped (Bard Swap, Dia 2, 11 on Chaos Roll) Bale+2 beats Ares' +1 head.
This situation is an example of Pak +1 beating Augmented Armada. Marginally.
The atk from Atheling is more likely to matter than the acc from Letalis.
I am surprised to see Ogier's hands winning no matter what I do... cool.
EDIT:
I lied about Ogier's Hands
ItemSet 298144
Food is carbonara. Attack is capped, all the bards I know have 4 songs.

I'm at work so can't check myself but in your editted scenario wouldn't Augmented Valk Breastplate + Ogiers + Huginn Feet win? If someone has the Gil to carry Pak +1 around for the few scenarios it's applicable, then they can probably afford Huginn Feet too.

Totally forgot Huginn since it still seems so unrealistic to me.
Swapping Ogier's Hands and Huginn feet in wins.
The body Hierarchy goes Aug Adaberk > Pak > Aug Valk > Pak +1
Every body is 1 DPS better than the previous body lol
Also, at least on my server, the average cost to have Pak+1 crafted is about 10m, 600k per synth and it's t1 HQ rate.
Huginn feet on the other hand... 136m. still t1 but roughly 8.5m per synth.

If you're using Augmented Armadaberk in that scenario then you can switch out Hag Stone for Anger Bomblet and Tyrants for Ambuscade I think. You're gaining 12 STP from Ogiers + Pak to Armada so can drop 12 from Kari Feet, Tyrants and Hag Stone.
Or you could not eat Carb too I guess and keep some of the above. Not really a gain though if you're definitely attack capped though.
Pak +1 is about 1.3m per attempt on Asura. Although honestly I thought it was more than that when I previously posted. Didn't realise the Tanzanite Stone supply was so high now since when I checked like a week ago it was non existant.

Was curious what would be a good ws piece for entropy other than the legs from hexed hose, I have the abjuration but it never sells on ah even the nq ;;.

Quetzacoatl said: I won't be sugar-coating this when I say that you won't be nuking like a Black Magic with these spells, given the lack of magic attack bonus gear and traits to support it. The least you can do with them, situationally, is by using them to gain TP by means of Occult Acumen.

Just made this 5hit /SAM for Senbak+1:
ItemSet 299433
Gets more than enough attack for make up from Attack- from Tactical, honestly. Any opinions, modifications?

especially on some of the new content, where it's extremely difficult to get off the accuracy floor, you're probably going to be better off 6hitting that
By Quetzacoatl 2013-05-02 05:25:19
True that, would probably be better to swap in Tactical for Letalis in that case.
NQ can 5-hit no problem though. I would be more inclined to go with the NQ since DMG+1 STR+1 ATT+1 and ACC+1 is extremely marginal outside of the -14 to delay, as long as there are more Resolutions
edit: What an NQ Senbaak would look like /SAM

Let's not forget Senbaak is probably higher than 110 crafting cap and the mats will be insanely rare for awhile.
I'm focusing on Bereaver since anyone can just go get one, pretty much.

Some of the new gear would be improvements in that NQ set. Mikinaak Greaves over Wrathwing is probably one (I assume they can be augmented with Acc +8 like everything else). Steelflash + Bladeborn Earrings would be an Improvement too.
By Quetzacoatl 2013-05-02 22:07:41
Steelflash + Bladeborn Earrings Those earrings are awesome... o.o
Adding!
