Jishnu's Radiance Build

Ah, now I see it.

That posture is very similar to when they are single wielding a dagger. lol.

Hello fellow rngs!

This is my current set:


I just bought aluh jambiya and I hope the 10 str outdoes the more crit damage of oneiros (which I don't have yet anyways.)

I have yet to get Athos gloves but I do have the feet and legs. I also have 2x thundersoul rings as well as a rancorous mantle if that is actually better than stacking extra R. Attk.

I also have a 3% haidate, would that be a better combo paired with kakura+1? Or double athos?

How much better is this I already have oce +1.

Obviously my gear choices will change once I have the gloves which will allow keeping the set bonus with better gear. As for athos body I do not think i will come across them anytime soon as I haven't seen a real Rex shout NA time for quite a while.

Thank you for your insights.

Some say Athos Tabard, I say augmented Osode; regardless, this is what I use in Voidwatch with great results.


Rancorous Mantle > all
AF3+2 Hands > Hachi (until you get Athos)
Use Athos Feet/Legs until you get Hands, then use Athos Hands/Legs and Kacura Feet+1.
Replace Bellona w/Thundersoul (if you're desperate for RACC, 8 won't do much anyways)
Anwig with 2%crit/2%wsdmg slightly > Cuauhtli Headpiece +1 slightly > Aias Bonnet slightly > Oce+1

How big of a diffrence is it between byakko's with 4% crit dmg and athos' tights?

Not big.
On average, Athos's probably will win because you're raising 4% from lower base than Byakko's

25% (crit cap) + 4% is 1.29/1.25 = 3.2% increase
5~8%? (crit dmg from other slot) + 4% 1.09~1.12/1.05~1.08 = 3.7%~3.8% increase

I still find it hard to believe Aluh Jambiya is better tha Vulcan's Staff + Grip combo
2 STR 3% crit dmg+ vs 10 ratk and probably 3DEX (if you're using gatta+1)

Thanks alot, I even have those anwig stats made so that is easy for me to change.

nq vulcan pearl > pixie?
scout hands +2 > sylvan +2?

Maybe you derped but Aluh Jambiya is /WAR onry for the Fencer bonus

20TP bonus and 5% crit rate bonus.
Does the 5% crit bonus transfer to ranged WS? I remember ranged WS only benefit from the 20 TP bonus only.

Both TP and %crit transfer to RA, I believe.

How about Aluh vs Oneiros?

Absolutely Aluh. The STR is going to do more for you.

Even if were to keep Potency on full time? I don't see 10 of any mod doing 7% more crit damage but maybe I'm over estimating my crit rate

I didn't realize the crit rate Oneiros was 10%. That's pretty sexy. I dunno, either/or is a good bet depending what your overall crit rate is with other gear.

Sylvan +2 > Scout's +2.
Earring wise, kind of a toss up tbh.

I know no one cares, but finally got Athos' gloves after killing him 30+ times today. Woot!

Anyways I'm about to augment my Osode and I believe Ninurta said crit rate(Byakko, caps at 2%) route rather than crit damage(Suzaku, caps at 3%) route. Is this true? And why is it better?

And order of optimal armors:

perfect aug osode > athos > loki?

Congrats on your gloves.
Let us say you were to use Loki's over an aug'd Osode; you'd be gaining 7RATK, 1DEX/AGI and 5% crit dmg. With Athos, you'd be gaining 4DEX/AGI, 5% Crit dmg.

With Osode compared to both, you'd be gaining 2%(1% if Athos) Crit Rate and 10STR while losing 4DEX/AGI and 5% Crit dmg.

The reason I prefer Osode, is because Crit rate applies to all hits, as does the 10STR. Crit dmg only applies if you crit, which you're not guaranteed to do. That's my logic behind it at least.

That makes sense, I always try to keep some str in my builds even if its a different mod because of pdif fstr etc. I used to use alot of r. attack too but I came to realize you don't need as much on a crit ws because well, its a critical hit and attack is less relevant.

Thanks, time to farm more byakko.

Using your set up:

http://imageshack.us/f/690/akvan.jpg/

300% zerk, warcry, temp buffs, no bard/cor, no food, antlion arrow, flashy shot

non-flashy were 1500-2600

Also I got a str+4 while making my crit rate osode, that would be pretty awesome paired up with max crit hit rate :Q_

edit: seems i fail at bbcode for images (must be .png?) but its 4196 vs. Akvan.

Average about 3500 on Akvan.
Same buffs, Garg. Arrows and prob. Kofte.


edit: doing dragon now, going to try to get Bard buffs and go for 4k.
double edit: 3800 no brd, orz.

wish gargoyle was more abundant here

4k?

edit: Zerk, Flashy, Warcry, Sharpshot, Minuet x2, temps.

300% TP I assume?

While Last Stand does 6.5k. Who cares how crappy JR's damage is; we already know.

And fix your recycle merits unless you really need epeen damage every 10m.

helel is required to bring this topic back every couple pages. Just give him a little time for his rant & we'll get back on topic.

Ah hell, my bad. Thought I was posting in the Jishnu thread.

Lighten up Francis.

So what do you think the best 3 atmacites are for JR?
Discipline+Incursion+Valiant?

Practically? Coercion, Valiant, Latitude or Incursion.

my Jishnus Set any upgrades advise?
Byakkos has 4% crit and Kirins has 2% dmg
