WAR Empyrean Body/Hands Projected Stats

Okay, haven't seen a topic on this yet, and I'm bored so here goes:

Hands+1
DEF:30 STR+7 VIT+7 Double Attack+2% Haste+3%
Hands+2
DEF:31 STR+9 VIT+9 Double Attack+3% Haste+4% Augments Aggressor Effect.

Body+1
DEF:63 Great Axe Skill+5 STR+8 DEX+8 Accuracy+15 Attack+15
Body+2
DEF:64 Great Axe Skill+8 STR+10 DEX+10 Accuracy+20 Attack+20 "Augments Berserk Effect"

Just some thoughts here would be nice. They've been pretty nice to WARs so far, I think they're gonna continue being nice to us.

I don't think they'll put a weapon skill + but iono.

body destroys blurpleberk...shiyte

The hands sound about right, similar to ares hands a tad. I think you may see something crazy like regen or haste on the body. But I totally agree, WAR imo is one of the most useful dd's today. Only complaint is for great axe to have a stun ws or maybe even have some sort of native ability to stun/terror the mob.

If they can give Dark Knight Scythe Skill on a head piece, and Dragoon Polearm skill on head piece, and ninja katana skill on leg piece, why not make some Great Axe skill for us?

They wont augment two job abilities with one set, If the SET Bonus on WAR's AF3 already augments something then
Hands "Augment Provoke"

Provoke has a roughly 60% chance to stun the enemy briefly when used.

Because WAR has like B+ skill on like 8 weapons unlike DRG and DRK which have like 1-2.

But again... who knows.

Shield skill and enhances Defender stuff! oh and AGI :P

Body better be ***since it looks like ***.

Take your enhanced Shield Mastery and Fencer and like it

No Haste ;x Oh well

Adaberk beats the body. Can replace Hecatomb hands now though I guess.

body is great for Store TP purposes though. Plus sadly about Adaberk I'm not sure if people still want to bother with Einherjar. How would it stack up to hauberk+1?

... What are the stats on the +1 hands? >.> You kinda skipped those.

Beats Hauberk+1 by a fair margin.
And yes, if you can use the STP on the body, then it will be better than an Adaberk, but if not Adaberk wins. Although it's not that far behind when using a GAxe.

Rvg. Mufflers +1 Rare Exclusive

Beats the hell out of Hecatomb even more if using axes.

Okies. Just wanted to make sure of the stats. With work, I could get +1, but I'll probably never get +2. At least my gear will still be okies. ^^

Beats Ebody for TP , but for WS for now Ebody is still best

~25att/acc vs ~22.5att/acc, 10str/dex

To all the people that though e.Body would be useless. Lolz~

I'm willing to bet the "Enhances Blood Rage" effect works just like the enhance Warcry from Warrior's Mask, which grants an additional 10 seconds duration to the JA.

The +2 Body is going to be great for TP, better than Ebody because of the STP, which is higher than Aurum's.

Hands are a great Multihit (Rampage etc.) or Raging Rush WS piece, but it could be arguable whether the Heafoc mitts combined with RR Atma will be better or not. For that matter, imo, it all depends on the effect they have on "Restraint".

I'm loving this AF3!

Edit: For those who are saying, EBody is better for WS, I'd like you to consider the fact that thanks to Atmas now, Grim and Ares are most probably going to be better than it for any WS

We will also need to see what those new synthesis armor sets, which I'm guessing are going to endup being the new Ebur/Ebon etc augmentable armor sets, will grant

Ebody is useless now, sup STR+15 DEX+15 acc+25 body

Twilight Body is the best piece for War. Question is how difficult will it be to obtain. If it's like Shadow Gear then GL to most.

Grim, Ares, Twilight, and Zahak's all rape EBody for anyone using Razed Ruin. I can't believe people are still trying to hang on to it.

EBody has been garbage since they added Pulverizer to the game, let it go.

u forgot hachiryu

It's been useless for 3 months, where have you been?

Soooo, taking the new gear into account, would this be the top build for WAR, more less?



and this to maximize 2hr damage



(Blitzer with Haste+3% and Crit Hit Dmg +3% Augments)

Being able to fulltime the AF3 for TP would be awesome but it'd cost haste and stp.
I wonder though how much the extra DA from the set will be, maybe 5%? I'm delirious over the ammount of work I'll have to put myself through to catch up on the past 3 months...

yeah nvm... :P

Epona's ring is cool and all but WAR can't really use it.
