I tried to fit Reiki in to a DW set and couldn't really do it because of the haste loss. Maybe it'll become a thing once Boii mask gets upgraded.

(namely head) Yes that's about the best set I could come up with that hit all the requirements. People like to complain about Emicho +1 but we really do get a lot out of it for those two slots. Is pummelers+2 legs/feet still best for tping if I dont have +3 yet?

I think the legs are still fine wi 8 DA, but you'd probably wanna use flamma feet+2 instead for higher STP
There's no reason to use emicho +1 body in your dual wield set. A 2% DA bonus does not outweigh the benefits of valorous mail. I don't recommend it unless you are att/acc starved.

QA+3* augmented valor beats them both :p

I don't recommend it unless you are att/acc starved. It's 9% DA and Accuracy vs 3 Store TP 7% DA. If your getting Samurai's Roll then the 2 DA will likely be marginally better then 3 Store TP with WS's that scale. With WS's that scale the 3 Store TP is doing absolutely nothing for you. Thoughts on the following budget Savage Blade Zerg warrior set then?
ItemSet 365554 I already have 5/5 Flamma+2 and Sulevia+2, so anywhere I can use those pieces instead is optimal. I believe I also have an entire 5/5 set of Valorous gear on hand with ***augments because I just didnt know what to put on it, sitting in storage collecting dust. Up until now my War was just used for Red proccing in abyssea, but I have a Montante+1 and an Ephemeron I can turn into a Pulse Weapon. Once I have this, the goal would be to use this set in Omen groups and work towards my Pummeler+3 legs and feet. Basically, the only gil I would need to spend is buying my Emicho+1 gloves, which are, what, 10mil? Thats respectable amount of gil to make a zerg character. I have everything else there already. I guess another 1mil for the neck and waist. I may get HQs but the price ramps up pretty hard. Any other small improvements you guys would suggest? Also: Whats our thoughts on Dark Matter Dual Wield augments? Is Emicho+1 gloves still better, or would there perhaps be Valor pieces that are better?

Looks like i can swap to Brutal as well with the same Thought process. You're wrongly assuming that Store TP always equates to TP overflow. It can also lead to fewer rounds before you can use Decimation. For Valorous Mail augments, I go with Store TP on Valorous. The comparison becomes 11 Store TP vs 7 DA. I don't feel that 1 STP = 1 DA, so I will recant my statement and simply say that it's not clear what is best. Online

(Delay1 + Delay2) × (1 - Dual Wield %) ÷ 2 = New Delay per Hand
288+276 36%dw = 180.4 delay or 61.1tp Decimation with 4 extra hits and 25stp in WS set: 20stp for a 12 hit 31stp for a 11 hit Decimation with 3 extra hits and 25stp in WS set: 21stp for a 12 hit 32stp for a 11 hit Decimation with 2 extra hits and 25stp in WS set: 23stp for a 12 hit 34stp for a 11 hit Offline

Id get a pair of odyssean legs and augment them with either STP or DA. You would also want the DW earring from zilart. If you have another ambuweapon you can make, I would recommend the axe. It would probably perform a good chunk better than the sword in a DW build. The salevia legs are a trap, that DT and TA is really attractive, but the low haste really hurts, so I would not recommend using them. I can PM you the three DW sets i use on war and you can choose what works best for you. Spaitin Id appreciate that greatly!
Is the decimation axe really that great? All Ive heard people talk about is the sword for Savage Blade spam! Mostly Im just trying to avoid Pummelers gear and too much HQ Abj gear. I could afford to drop tops like, 20~25 mil on it? Main thing is I need the war to be good enough to get into Omen parties before I can get the pummelers gear, you know? Offline

Part of what I like about Naegling is it can also be used as a strong weapon by Cor. Im very interested in your TP set, hook me up! :D Spaitin said: » it has a really amazing 5 step SC if you feel like seeing big numbers. Which 5step is that? I'm having trouble deciding between Polearm and Axe and only have 1 pulse weapon to sacrifice to the Ambu gods. Just how good is the polearm compared to the axe from a purely dps standpoint? Only thing keeping me from going polearm is really my lack of an ID set (compared to a BiS decimation set) and the inevitable nerf if it's truly "broken." Offline

Only thing keeping me from going polearm is really my lack of an ID set (compared to a BiS decimation set) and the inevitable nerf if it's truly "broken." None knows. Decimation build has around 7300DPS according to spreadsheet. That's far from OP actually. AFAIK WAR spreadsheet havent been updated. We only know how good are some weapons vs others from practical tests. So no data for ShinignOne from spreadsheet, tho it would be hard to even put it in spreadsheet with it's unknown crit rate bonus at various TP. AFAIK none amde reliable tests with ShiningOne used optimally on WAR. Ejin did on SAM and he will be doing it on WAR. I think on SAM it has DPS above 10k (coming from some Neak kills, when Ejin did like 270k damage in 20 sec, but he was starting with 3000TP on short fight, so its a little biased). I wish Ejin would use some SB to show DPS XD So ShiningOne is confirmed OP on SAM. test on WAR are still in the near future, unless someone will make it before Ejin. Offline

Spaitin said: » i think your spread sheets are wrong, with max buffs on neak/yakshi last night i was going between 7400 and 8200 dps on neak/yakshi with decimation axe. which is good but behind raetic and chango. Nah that 7300 simply comes from outside of Escha. In Escha it will be naturally higher. Offline

not sure what to test it on outside. but 8k is pretty easy to hit on sarama with decimation axe.

In short fights it will be kinda random, but Ejin usually do like 20-30 Neaks in a row when he check avg, so those tests are pretty valid. He got 60k avg Impulse when holding TP in few tests on Neak now. Maybe the difference between your random and his more stable DPS is that he is using CC Rogue roll? Offline

Boosting avg WS damage by 4000 boosts DPS to 8000 and disproportion like this can easily happen with few lucky DA in short fight. EDIT: In short fight even starting with 1000TP vs starting with 0TP change DPS by a lot. Offline

Every single fight started atleast 1k TP. with every member using wings between fight to get TP up. rotated that on each pop. sarama did not since waiting around for TP outside of escha is lame.
SimonSes said: » So ShiningOne is confirmed OP on SAM. test on WAR are still in the near future, unless someone will make it before Ejin. I went ahead and made a Shining One yesterday and it is very much OP on Sam. I didn't have too much time testing with it but did find that if you just pop it into a GA build at 100% DA it gets quickly out performed by the decimation axe since ID isn't very good at 1k and needs 1750(with moonshade) to really "Shine". Definitely will need a STP heavy build on War to keep up with how quickly Sam can get it to 2k but have not been able to test that yet. Offline

nah, warcry.

War has few things that should make it very good even without holding TP at least for 2 mins. It's native 18% crit damage, 10% crit rate, warcry and blood rage. You just need to mix this well. Possibly use set with STR,DA,crit damage for blood rage up and WSing at low TP and WSD,STR for WSing with warcry. Not sure what to do when both warcry and blood rage would be on cooldown. Possibly change weapon or hold TP to 2000+. Not sure really. Need tests!
