Currently sitting on Vermeil Bhuj and Perdu Voulge. Now, because WAR isn't my main job and all these updates are confusing, would Vermeil out-do Perdu?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

V Bhuj is pretty nice, especially if your lacking time for Magian Trials.

Warlord's Axe RareExclusive
(Great Axe) All Races
DMG: 118 Delay: 488 VIT -3 AGI +5
Evasion +5
Lv. 90 WAR

Looks pretty good until you can score a Widow Maker.

Maschu is also a good one to shoot for if your into walk of echoes.

But yes compared to perdu v bhuj is a step up and very easy to obtain.

Maschu+1 still blows all these away, but if getting coins isn't in the cards You definitely are going to need something better than the Vermiel. It shows it's age very harshly at Lv.90.

For someone who plays WAR a lot and is a "main" job, I would agree. For me, its a job I can jump on if someone needs a DD. Vermeil was easily obtained and everything that is "better" requires a bit of a time investment. I'll just use Vermeil until the next Ra/Ex is available. I have 9 jobs that I play. There is no way I could possibly afford time to get the best for all of them.

It sucks now period. The Barbarus Bhuj was better at 85 update and was just as easy to get. There are two I believe that are easy to get from the new zones that are better still at 90.

There are 3-4 options that don't even require doing magians at all that are better. Then there are lots of magians that are better. A V. Bhuj is the kind of effort I'd put towards a scythe for my Drk. A job that I don't give a ***about can use a weapon just to get by.

It sucks for everyone, not just war mains. The only diff is that war mains are more likely to find the time commitment more worth it.

I'll put it this way. If I don't sugar coat it for myself, I won't for anyone else.

Up until last night, I was still using rune chopper. Why? Magians not worth my time for war. That being said, I didn't try to say my war didn't fail. I knew it did, just didn't care.

Why do you still think I use a Barbarus Bhuj? I have the coins for a Maschu. I just don't have the desire or time, and I know I'm gimp because of it.

It was a response to the person who was saying V bhuj isn't gimp for ppl who aren't war main, not for you.

If you're a casual war Barbarus Bhuj is a decent GaX. V. Bhuj is outdated now. Widowmaker seems like a good option if you don't want to spend time in WoE. If you're a bit more dedicated Mashu +2 is way to go.
