Victory Smite Build

So thinking of it... +3% crit neck + 5% rancor mantle should be better than 3% DA?

Can DA proc on every hit? Can Crit pro on every hit?

would a shura head +1 with augmented ws dmg 3% (no other worthwhile augments) be better than the standard anwig salade with str4 agi4 and ws dmg 2%?

And the 15 wsacc*, and it comes down to weather you need this acc or not, if not shura wins.

does Toci's fit in anywhere? Perhaps Impetus down?

Just seems like a waste to make sets for abyssea lol

I wouldn't say it's a waste if you farm it alot on said job, which I did back @90 and @95 cap.

Even when having supernatural buffs, it's not an excuse for not performing to the best of your abilities.

But could be just me.

Question, cause I haven't seen anything about it. Melee Gloves +2, do they have any worth outside in TP or VS set? I understand how the formulas work, but I have been re-doing my Hi set to skew towards str/atk over stacking dex on top of agi after seeing some dex parses. (this doesn't mean I'm dumping agi, just swapping str/attack for dex where it makes sense.)

Is all of that attack and accuracy going to compete?

Say with bruisers and faith torque.. does the h2h skill on the gloves really do anything? If not, wouldn't the af2+2 hands be worthwhile? I understand that people favor the Heafoc generally, according to the posts on this topic.. however I already use melee gloves for my chakra set, have 9 jobs to gear and would prefer not to have a set of hands that are pretty much monk only (heafoc) WS swap.

TP


VS


Kabuto dmg 3% attk 5 Schain dmg 2% haidate only str 1 stp4 still working on it.
Plz nightfyre any advice i can have,still need to work out variable vs builds i have toci ecc just need to kno when to use what.
About tp set i dont have ganesha mask,but i been very nice whit those items,maybe not the best melee dmg,but i want to keep this stp,tell me what you think and any correction that can be made ^^

What do you guys think about B.Haidate with crit damage + in place of shura with +STR?

Potestas Bomblet vs Thew Bomblet

Who wins?

For WS this one is good: http://www.ffxiah.com/item/10607/kacura-leggings-1

Melee Gloves+2 or Heafoc Mitts?

The h2h skill on the gloves (combined with faith torque, bruiser's and capped h2h merits and assuming 99 with capped h2h skill) pushes the DMG up a tier. At level 99:

With tantra+2: [424 (capped skill) + 7 (faith torque) + 7 (AF3+2 gloves) + 3 (bruiser's earring) + 16 (lvl 8 h2h merits) x 0.11] + 3 = 53.27

Without tantra+2: [424 (capped skill) + 7 (faith torque) + 3 (bruiser's earring) + 16 (lvl 8 h2h merits) x 0.11] + 3 = 52.5

Edit: I'm not sure how relic+2 perform vs AF3+2, but I've seen a lot of MNKs swapping out AF3+2 for relic+2. This is definitely one for the math lovers lol.

Is it true that VS can't Double attack?

What makes you think that?

My LS leader told me that VS and AF can't double attack. Which doesn't sound right, just want to double check.

AF can't DA because the most "attacks" you can have in one round is 8, and AF is already 8. I am not sure why VS wouldn't be able to

Where do you find this info?

Make sure you're not getting Ascetic's Fury and Asuran Fists (AF) mixed up.
Asuran can't double/triple/etc(as Eyrhika said), Ascetics and VS can.

It's the law.

This.

I ment Ascetic's Fury. I asked, because I was wondering if Prosilio is a good or bad belt for VS. Since the DA-5%

I'd suppose Windbuffet would be good unless you need acc, then use Ele belt.

^ Thank You

After nerf a lot of people i see with nefarious collar and rancor mantle hmmm... After nerf what is the best ws equip now for victory???? Sorry for my terrible english thankyou

Here's a question, I see a shitload of moonshade earring's that people won't say the aug on them, so i'm going to assume its tp bonus from the very few posts that do.

Can someone enlighten me to why the tp bonus is good? This is assuming +25 from spamming it at 100 is to 125, maybe ws'ing at 110 or 120 because you might not ws exactly at 100 etc.

My point is, I don't see how it effects it that much/if at all. This isn't a retard "hurr durr that ***shouldn't work" post, I really want to know if it's something that good to where I should probably get it.

Thanks in advance

Edit: and still no one has responded to people asking if byakko's crit hit +4% vs hachiryu question, which would be better?

Victory smite's tp bonus is critical hit rate, so any tp after 100% starts adding in more critical hit rate to your ws. VS 100% base rate is 10% crit, at 200 its 25%, and 300 is 45%. So ws around 100%-ish tp gives your earring a 3.75% crit rate and ws around 200%-ish gives you 5% crit hit rate on your ws. Obviously you should be using another earring when you ws at 300%.

When you start looking at the other earrings, you really start to see why people pair their brutal earring with a moonshade TP bonus.

Byakko's aren't crit hit+4, or crit hit+anything.

Since they are crit dmg, their usefulness depends on your critical hit rate in order to effectively be using critical hit damage+. Since this type of situation really only occurs in Abyssea, and since in Abyssea you should be using SS and RR, it's not even the best for there.

Realistically, you should be looking at anything Euxine Kecks +2 and on.

Prosilio is best for acc cap/near cap, uncap attack (almost never happens this way)
Usually go with BB or Anguinus if I remember it, Rancor/Justiciar's or Rancor/agasaya's. I'm still working on what works best for things like Rex, but I was parsing 85%acc last night and winning/barely losing parses. Need to go do some AF1 for focus ;/

Thanks for answering the question, appreciate it
