Is brawny adargas better than str oxyurani? Looking at Kinematics spreadsheet and brawny beats oxy in both capped/uncapped attack situations.

If true, I made my str oxyurani for nothing (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

While this has been bumped, I remember someone in another thread saying there were only 4~5 worthwhile Mythics - Does anyone know which Relics/Mythics/Empyreans work out best at 95/99?

(Wasn't sure whether this was a big enough question to warrant it's own thread or not >_> Figured while I wasn't looking for loads of math, it'd be better off in here!)

Kogarasumaru, Ryunohige, and depending on your definition of worthwhile, Kenkonken.

That's pretty much it.

Yagrush maybe if you are a hardcore WHM. Too bad most them are are junk (expensive and time consuming sure, but not very useful).

Yagrush is still a very nice tool!
And Liberator is far from a bad weapon for DRK.






AND MURLEGIS IS A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS RDM! (I wanted this so bad when it was released)

I think Conqueror is the best Great Axe when you can keep AM3 up, i'm not sure if it beats Ragnarok though. Someone in my shell is making one and will be done next month so we'll see.

The problem with mythics is their usefulness doesn't really justify the opportunity cost of making them (It's worth 600mil here at 20k/each not to mention all the other requirements). That could easily be 4-5 relic weapons that are much more useful.

When I say worthwhile I mean that to an observer there will be a noticeable change in your performance (positive) compared to other options.

No one gives a ***about SMN outside of PD and shock squall. WHM does its job well enough without Yagrush and no one will really notice you're using it, but at least it does have a positive effect.

My list was exhaustive.

Oh sMn has diamond storm too.

I think a main smn will notice a positive performance change out of Nirvana, the huge amount of mab will add a nice chunk of damage AM3 ups avatar damage quite a bit. Theres a lot more to do than just stand there summon Alexander then switch to Ramuh just to use Shock Squall every 45 secs and its quite easy to keep mp up these days.

And being able to keep up AM is not a reasonable expectation for a SMN versus any content to which it's worth bringing a SMN.

For some reason I was thinking AM3 was Avatar Magic Attack.

That it's acc/attack makes it even shittier.

It's OA3, which also applies to BPs (but doesn't really matter because most BPs have a base fTP of something like 10. Miss the first hit on Pred Claws and you'll see what I mean.)

Aren't the magical BPs the ones that actually matter, anyway?

It still depends what you're fighting, but Nirvana might give them the boost they need to outshine physical BPs against many targets.

It doesn't matter, it's still a complete waste of Alexandrite.

Still not as bad as Nagi, though.

You are talking like theres nothing else in the game apart from Legion. AM3 is ALWAYS OA2-3 on every mythic which applies to avatars as well. Probably same reason why one would make a Mjollnir you wouldnt have a whm meleeing something thats worth while yet people still make it, you included, if someone likes the job that much than why not get one? It is the best staff a smn can get.

Edit: Its as much a waste of Alexandrite as currency is for Mjollnir, Claustrum, Spharai, Guttler, Yoichi and Kikoku. Yet still people make them because they like that job enough to get them. Obviously it costs 6 times the cash to make a mythic than a relic but if you have the money why not.

I agree, waste of Alexandrite.

If there's something you want, make it.

Note that the mythic I'm making is not on my exhaustive list!

tl;dr what Sylow said

Worth noting that all of these are without taking AM3 rebuild time into account. Any "marginal" melee weapon loses the moment you factor that in.
