I hardly ever get am3 with my carn. I've got 3 bards. And I compare the tp sets all the time.
My main gains TP so fast its almost pointless to go for am3. My chiro hands and feet have 3 quad, over 40 acc, and one has 5 stp and other 7stp. You ws at 1k anyways. It's a swinging machine. Granted I'm sure getting am3 would make if even more crazy. But if full aya is what most bards are using, ***just feels slow af. And really does feel like it takes forever to get 3k.

You have QA3, stp+5/7, +30-40 acc DM augments on 2 Chironic pieces? damn...

What do you guys think of r15 Metamorph ring+1 vs Illabrat for mordant rime?

CHR+16 vs DEX+10/Attack+25
At capped attack/accuracy there's no questioning, Metamorph +1 is gonna win.

When you're not att capped or acc capped, I dunno, hard to say.
DEX+10 by itself is a very small contribution to Mordant Rime btw. DEX is a secondary and low mod for Mordant Rime. It does contribute with a small amount of acc though.
Att+25 (which is then furtherly multiplied by Att% bonuses you have) is noticeable when you're below att cap. The further below you are, the more that att+25 makes a difference in your damage.

Do both LeafTIP and LeafSLIT give WS Damage + on the Linos? I'm at like 150 attempts between both and still only seen +2% twice and +1% twice.

I've had the same issue with DA+.
Wasted probably more than 50 millions gilin Leaf+2 stones, pestering these boards asking if I was using the wrong one.
In the end I got my DA+3 on the second stack of Leaf +1 stones. (edit: back then stacks were of 12, not 99 like nowadays)
Coincidence? Bug on the +2 ones?
No bloody clue, but the number of +2 stones I used was really large, took me months, you can search this forum for my posts if you're curious ;-)

Same! For some reason had that one pretty quickly whilst WSD was hell. Managed to the +3% for the Rudra's one, my Mordant/Savage blade one is still at 2% :(

I on the other hand made like 5 or 6 different linos in about a week using maybe 100 stones total. I also had 3% DA many times before I got 4 storeTP, that I wanted. I had more problems with getting CHR, but not a big problems really.

If you're trying to build a Rudra's Storm Linos, wouldn't DEX+10 be better than QA+3?
Not sure, hard to test without a spreadsheet (hint hint! :-P)
I don't havea Rudra specific Linos but if I wanted to get one I think I'd go for WSD+3/DEX+10
Not sure on the Snow part. Acc+20, Att+20, Acc/Att+w/e?
Maybe whichever you get first.
I've seen Acc and Att +20 a few times, never seen Acc/Att+15 (cap) so far, my TP linos is acc/att+14 atm

Attributes cap at 8 on Linos unless BG is wrong. And personally I don't have inventory room (nor the patience) to make more Linos, so I just use QA3/WSD3 as a general WS piece.

Thanks. This isn't far from what I was imagining. Since I lack Volte I'm going to go with Lustratio Mitts and see what that gets me.

Same as Rudras really, Relic Body+3, Lustratio+1 4/5 Moonshade/wsdmg ear. Wsdmg rings or Str, Prosilio+1 waist. Probably JSE neck for the PDL.

Edit ops late response.

I just use volte cause they have a pretty high base STR. You can just as well use relic hands, they have a ton of attack, or lustratio path A which has same STR as volte and some attack but no acc or defensive stats. I don't use lust gloves because I have limited space and would only really use them on BRD.

Someone posted a node within the last few pages. Also why is this never updated?

I have my doubts on using Lustratio for savage blade, is the whatever % WSD worth losing a ***ton of MND?

Hey, anyone know if there's been a change to NITRO MACC?

Was doing albumen and had some weird resists. This is after wipe so they were all there ready to be slept.

In the log it shows:

Soul Voice
Clarion Call
Nightingale
Troubadour
Horde Lullaby 2-->resists

Then mandies resisted... Can't figure it out. Even if gear wasn't swapping or wrong gear was chosen, how could they resist?

I was always under the impression that NITRO was 100% MACC.

If the BRD says they have them, and I have no reason to not believe that, then is it possible in some other way?

People forgetting to remerit Troubadour to 5/5 after meriting Dirge/Sirvente before the merit spell update to get them for free is the only cause I've seen people get their Lullabies resisted on Albumen, so that's my only guess.

Thanks, that's what I assumed but couldn't figure it out since the person insisted and most often knows their stuff. Can't think of anything else possible either but hoping someone else might.
