Ambuscade weapons worth pursuing
I have a Kaja Bow presently, and a Delphinius on a mule, so I can get a Ullr if I want, but with the high cost of getting a T5 Ambuscade weapon, I wondered if there was a priority list of what to get.

sword is nuts
1H Axe is fun but I agree Sword seems to be the best one.

Sword for rdm is less increase than, let's say, axe for DRK WAR bst rng etc, polearm for SAM war etc, sword for cor and such. Mostly because afaik sequence is still the better sword for savage blade, especially if you don't offhand TP bonus. Axe, sword, and knife is what I went with.

Kinda depends of how much is that attack bonus, because RDM will probably not be attack capped for majority of time in something like wave 3 ( Polearm and Axe are bonkers awesome. Going to make Sword next then maybe the Scythe or Knuckles.
Knife seems like a really awesome and well-rounded offhand. But the bow to the final stage, the extra macc, that's solid too. If I could only have one it'd be the dagger (in fact, that's what I'm doing first myself).
Has anyone gotten the scythe for Drk? The ratri set provides a pretty big damage boost, wondering if it's worth getting

That's just off the top of my head, but it's overall just really good for a bunch of different jobs; compared to the others which mostly just benefit a specific job. Cerberus.Tacothecat

No it isn't. It is amazing if you don't have Murg or Crocea, but it is not best. FaeQueenCory said: » Pretty good nuking piece for RDM too when paired with Ammurapi Shield (I think the only thing that beats that is the club... though DWing club+sword is probably best like with BLU) Offline

Isn't one of RDM's biggest problem hitting pdif on savage blade? I'd wager the sword would beat sequence outside of maxed attack situations.
Also depending on your dmnd and dint ratios (I don't know how those look for RDM vs high end mobs) the Naegling could offer more macc. If dint <10 then its +15 accuracy and if not its +7 macc. So it may tie with Su5 but it loses to a medium ranked Murg and capped murg blows it out of the water. Lakshmi.Buukki

It's about just below REA options... and I think it's technically the best nuking option? such as that is for DRK lol You laugh but ItemSet 362490 Cerberus.Tacothecat said: » FaeQueenCory said: » Sword is probably the most useful thing to make overall.
No it isn't. It is amazing if you don't have Murg or Crocea, but it is not best. Crocea Mors has barely slightly more. That INT+15 is anywhere from 7.5 to 15 Macc depending on your dINT. Which either is slightly less than the 10 more hard Macc and the 5 more skill Crocea Mors has in the worst scenarios (3ish less); or is basically the same in the best scenarios. With both Crocea Mors and Murgleis lacking any MND, we're back the the old staff v Murgleis debate due to how most enfeebles work.

Maxentius (the club) has a touch more MAB and Mdmg, so it should be better than Naegling. And DWing them grants that ridiculous 400+ Mdmg in addition to slightly more Macc and INT. 17 less MAB though. (Macc+80 INT+30 Mdmg+449 MAB+37 Skill+250) Lakshmi.Buukki said: » FaeQueenCory said: » But it's a decent Scythe if you have nothing else.

gotta maintain dat deeps during perfect dodge/invincible and flying dragons
A well augmented Grio + Enki Strap beats that in damage, though it loses out in MACC.

I'll add the macc to dint relationship was retested awhile back in jp and it's a lot more complicated than that just hasn't been retested by non jps or ported over to the wikis.
https://www.bluegartr.com/threads/108196-Random-Facts-Thread-Magic?p=6818652&viewfull=1#post6818652 So that int could also be 3.75 or even 0 macc or even some weird number if it's crossing dint thresholds Cerberus.Tacothecat

(Macc+80 INT+30 Mdmg+449 MAB+37 Skill+250) As for the best magic acc, you said best, that is misleading. Murg r6 is actually the top for magic acc, anything beyond r6 is just icing. r6 is +11, which is where it beats Crocea. As for nuking "best" that again is misleading, overall, the dual wield option is probably the best balance between magic acc and nuking power, since RDM is limited on options to nuke with, you are going to run it down to raetic +1 vs very well augmented grio vs dual wield club/sword. Considering Raetic +1 and Alber strap come out at 88 MAB, you then need to weigh the difference between 182 Mdmg vs 51 MAB. The raetic staff +1 and Alber strap only fall 18 Macc short of dual wielding and 8 magic acc skill, which puts dual wield at a total of what 23 Macc above raetic +1/Alber Strap. Of course the grip is interchangable to a variety of different options to decrease the gap on Macc and still be above on MAB Elders Grip +1 is +4 macc and +4 mab, Niobid Strap is +5/+5 Albers Strap is +7 MAB Clerisy Strap +1 is +15 Macc Enki Strap is +10 INT/MND and +10 Macc the INT plays a very minimal part in magic acc, same with mnd. The math was done on that long ago, the only point in which the INT would weigh heavily enough would be if it was the last remaining INT/MND needed to push you over the threshold to break resist rates. Int more cases than not, on high end content, your INT not be high enough to matter. On content you won't have magic accuracy issues, then you will have higher nuking power elsewhere. Offline

I'm curious if the dagger is worth it for a Thief with Aeneas.
What if you're in a party that requires you to use Evisceration instead of Rudra's Storm for a skillchain? I'm not sure. Has anyone figured out how Nanadaka works? The value of it for group play vs solo play is really based on if the enemy defense decrease goes down based on more or less debuffs on mob.

It's definitely worth it if you need to use Evisceration. It's also a pretty good offhand depending on your other options. Ramuh.Austar said: » FaeQueenCory said: » Spiral Hell is still garbo.

Eh, I've seen several people ask about it that either have Anguta or probably have access to getting one. Then again, I suppose the counter-argument to that is "if they can't look at your numbers and interpolate that comparison on their own, then ***'em" lol Asura.Geriond said: » Odin.Senaki said: » Has anyone figured out how Nanadaka works?

I see, I was hoping it would act similarly to Dragoon's Relic lol. Siren.Kyte said: » Ramuh.Austar said: » Siren.Kyte said: » It's probably more meaningful to compare it to Anguta+CR.

I'll get it eventually. |
