I can't justify using BST for anything outside the realm of fodder, so I'm probably noticeably short on accuracy. This is mostly my bargain build based on things I already had, but it's more than sufficient for what BST is typically used for. Heca+1 feet are augmented with +3 STR, so in the absence of that, AF3 should be a fine replacement.

As long as you're swinging at Dynamis mobs, you can basically jam as much STR/DA into your build as possible, saving room for the irreplaceable WS gorget/belt

Dilaram's Sollerets on feet should be better.
And why a STR+2 earring? Centaurus's earring will be better than a 2STR one, dunno about the 4STR one.
Or are you claiming you're attack capped on Dynamis mobs?
On the majority of EP Nightmare Mobs that do not use self-spells/abilities enhancing their defense then you're probably capped if you use food.
Not sure tbh.
On DC you definitely are not capped, especially if you use 2x VIT Astolfos.

I've never had an attack earring come ahead against DC targets with food during Ruinator

But just to reiterate, bargain build of things I already had

Yes they are. This is generally what I use for most things:



Off-hand is a STR Astolfo, and minus the Guttler. I'm not quite done with that lol.

This is the best set for Ruinator in pretty much every situation you would use BST; don't fret about the hands, Phorcys are a very close alternative to H.gauntlets. Hecatomb+1 need 4STR on augment to beat Ferine +2.

Given that target levels are low 99% of the time on BST:
-Attack earrings do not work well; since Ruinator gives a huge attack boost, you'll always be capping.

-Moonshade earring only provides accuracy, which again, you'll almost always be capping.

-Ogiers will only beat Avant +1 on high level targets.
