stuff about Temper II

Should only matter for when you actually cast the spell... you would then switch to the weapons you need for the situation...

Dont bother wasting money on pukulamuj augments...

Whereas Pukulamuj is giving both hands a +1% chance at 2 extra hits per round. (+1% Triple Attack from Temper II)
Temper II's TA is determined on cast, you swap enhancing skill swords on when you cast it, yes you lose tp every 15 min but worth since you can boost your enspells at same time and may want to swap for duration on some of your other buffs too.

I terms of actual current game situations, I could see Pukulatmuj +1 being useful as an offhand for monsters using invincible(Genbu?) ,for maximum Enspell damage since that's all you're getting at that point. Kinda a niche use though.

Yeah and like Tenzen where you can't ws much of the fight. Other problem is for pure en-spell damage if you can use wind damage Levante Dagger usually wins pretty easily between affinity boosting both hands and lower delay so this goes pretty low on priority list of upgrades for me, might eventually upgrade it since there are niche uses and doesn't cost an inventory slot.

Has anyone R15 blistering sallet for their CDC sets, and checked how it performs? That piece is looking mad attractive for rdm CDCs to me.

Best we had prior was Taeon Chapeau (DEX23,CR5,CD3) so I’d say It wins with DEX41,CR10 and more accuracy, as well.

Hi, I have a few questions regarding Odin.

1. Do you use Bio for the defense down, or does that feed him TP?

2. Does he still use his 2hr even without feeding him TP? If so, how do you survive it while soloing?

3. I know 1 dmg daggers are ideal, but would 1 dmg swords work as well or would the higher natural sword skill make you do more than 0 dmg?

1. bio is attack down and not needed since you'll be using shadows to ensure he never hits you. I never bother to cast since it gives TP.
2. think so, what is his 2hr though? if it's a mage, he's always silenced. if it's war or drk, he's always hitting a shadow, so yeah.
3. swords work fine, so do clubs or anything else, just needs 1dmg and lowest delay you can find.
4. I would not suggest below normal difficulty since I actually fed TP on easy w/ 1dmg daggers.

Sorry I meant Zantetsuken X not 2hr.

Silence. Bind. Gravity. Sleep....

Other than that I mean it’s fun to multi step when you’re screwing around.

Basically useless sadly when Crocea exists and the macc difference isn’t massive between them unless you AM1

Also dispel.
Although the difference between Murgeils and Crocea is not really huge, it's still one of the most hot looking sword in the game. :D

On a side note, i like new augments on Aurist's Cape +1
33 MND
33 INT
33 Macc
And other stuff.

The new aug Aurist cape +1 is gonna be BiS for RDM for stuff that's not affected by Enf Potency+
For everything else you'll still want to use Sucellos because of the Enf Potency bonus.

It seems like fully augmented Aurist's Cape +1 might actually beat Sucellos's Cape for Sanguine Blade as well. Has anyone done any testing with it yet?

Aurist +1 isn't even close for Sanguine Blade; the higher MND/INT pales compared to the WSDMG +10%.

so i managed to put hands on an orpheus last night thanks to some damn good AMAN Luck and a good friend. How should i go about gearing for making the most out of this?

i have just about anything a rdm could want (save for two annoying omen drops).

is it best to focus on either JUST enspel, or JUST tp? or is there a viable middle ground between the two?

right now im lookin at something like:

ItemSet 374382

i think a dualwield cape works?

What low damage dagger set do y'all use for Odin? And what kind of accuracy did you guys need? I was surprised how little I hit a regular 119 so I'm guessing it's pretty higgh

Edit: oh looks like someone else asked. The answer was just one damage anything.

The lower the delay the better. If you don't have some low delay campaign daggers can always buy some ceremonial daggers off the AH.

Hideka I personally wouldn't use dedition in enspell set. When you fight higher level mobs, such as Odin, you're going to want as much acc and macc as you can get. I would replace it with a dignitaries earring or something similar. I use a dw cape as well although some prefer to mix it up, using taeon boots and such. I also use regal gem for enspell (or kaja bow) but for the most part what you have is similar to what I use.

How do Duelist Vitiation Boots +3 compare to Amalric Nails +1 (assuming set bonus) for Sanguine/Seraph? You would be gaining 12 STR, 12 MND, 9 INT and (23 MAcc) at the cost of 7 MAB.

I'm debating between going for a near 40 MAB/MAcc Merlinic Body with Amalric Legs/Feet or Amalric Body/Legs with Duelist +3 Feet.

Cross-post from the Murgleis convert thread, verbatim:

Me, Fae, Rrice and Ticktick from the bg-wiki discorde tested this. Rrice is Master RDM with Murgleis, and provided us with a bunch of data:
Code
{ maxHP = 2194; MP = 157; cHP = 1692 }
{ maxHP = 1664; MP = 180; cHP = 1344 }
{ maxHP = 2154; MP = 153; cHP = 1660 }
{ maxHP = 2154; MP = 4;   cHP = 1511 }
{ maxHP = 2169; MP = 10;  cHP = 1527 }
* cHP = post-convert HP

Murgleis does not give 1:3 MP to HP swap, but rather it gives you 50% of your max HP on top of how many MP you had.

Formula:
Converted HP = floor( maxHP * p ) + floor( maxHP * q ) + MP

MP = current MP at the time of convert
p = Murgleis bonus: 0 (no Murgleis equipped) or 0.5 (Murgleis equipped)
q = Convert Job Points category, 0.01 per level: 0 (no JP) to 0.2 (20/20)

Hence, master RDM with Murgleis gets Converted HP = floor(maxHP*0.5) + floor(maxHP*0.2) + MP

HP still get converted to MP 1:1.

And now I sleep.
