Ok, it's obvious that Adaman was a lot better than noct mail at 75 cap and before abysea. Now that everyone has +50STR atma and Razing rune would it be safe to say that Nocturnus Mail is now the top body for drk and war? Discuss!

Edit: What about nocturnus helm, think its better than the viking helm because of the DA now?

Askar Korazin/Aurum Cuirass if STP needs, otherwise Nocturnus may be.

I'd still using Viking hat over Nocturnus Hat.

I'm thinkin for cata since it has a AGL mod and no STR mod.

I'd say Noct > Adaman body (not going to pull out armada)?
To see the TA proc on WS woul be awesome (although it's just a 1% chance)!

I'd also say Cata doesn't get a better head option than Noct, but for oher WS I'd probably prefer Bale+2 / Ravager+2 or Viking

Too bad Noct BC is unlikely to ever pop again, unless a small group of 99s wll be able to determin Campaign results.

I'm more curious to see what AF3 bodies will bring though

1% Triple attack? Hachiryu Haramaki or Timarli Jawshan would be much better than that.

5% crit and 2% haste respectively being their bonuses.

edit: looking over it, maybe not much better, but each would still be marginally better than 1% triple attack.

Timarli's really not that useful =\ Looks nice, but aside from towngear, meh.

I think it comes down to if that Extra 15 Attack is doing anything for you or not, in situations where you are hitting attack caps (it's not hard to cap attack) Nocturnus Mail is the Clear winner between the two.

But if your not capping attack then E:body is the obvious winner, or atleast thats the argument that ive always seen between the two.

E:body is definatley still the best Multi-hit WS body for DRK and WAR tho, cant really argue that at all, I personally dont like to rely on that 1% chance to Triple attack for WS, its cool when it does happen but overall damage is what matters in the end.

But im sure both will be trumped very soon anyways :/
