Stikini +1 is a poor, possibly even counterproductive, macc trade over Metamorph

Siren.Kyte said: » Stikini +1 is a poor, possibly even counterproductive, macc trade over Metamorph Yeah, you have a good point there, it’s pretty good for Accuracy and Damage in it’s own right. I’ll swap it. I'm starting this game back up, I haven't played in years.
Is there a good .lua I can use? Asura.Kingnobody said: » I'm starting this game back up, I haven't played in years. Is there a good .lua I can use? Thanks.
Is the amalric +1 set the best nuking set for blu atm? I noticed ppl favour jhakri head and i was looking at the +3 Relic legs. Is the amalric set worth investing in still?

Valefor.Yandaime said: » Siren.Kyte said: » They may not be the strongest of our AoEs, but they're still fairly potent. If you need the additional effect to land and are worried about it getting resisted, you can make a macc toggle for it. That's true, but it can be hard to tell sometimes if the effect sticks or not. So for these spells which serve a Direct Purpose, I don't like taking chances. ItemSet 372192 This set for example offers a good ground of MACC focus without crippling the MAB of the spell. You'd lose out on somewhere around 500-800 Damage or less but have a notably higher chance of landing your effect where it counts. Fair trade imo. ItemSet 372193 ItemSet 372194 This is a set fit for Spectral Floe and Subduction, strong MAcc but much stronger MAB. With Additional Accessories for Light and Dark Elemental Affinities. All of these sets were presented in various places about the guide but might take some digging. The Primary nuking set was updated I think maybe 5 pages ago or less? but here's everything just for ease of reference. Edit: Metamorph Ring +1 is R15. Literally on the previous page...

There is also herculean helm which can be augmented to beat Jhakri head. Even if you only come close, the haste and fast cast helps with recasts. Here are the two I have for comparison:
head={ name="Herculean Helm", augments={'Mag. Acc.+25','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+18','Accuracy+7 Attack+7','Mag. Acc.+20 "Mag.Atk.Bns."+20',}} head={ name="Herculean Helm", augments={'Mag. Acc.+20 "Mag.Atk.Bns."+20','Weapon skill damage +2%','INT+9','Mag. Acc.+9','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+15',}} I'm personally a fan of Herc Helm over Jhakri as well.
Its worth to mention that herculean helm has much less str and int, but higher vit and much higher agi. So for some spells it will have advantage and for some it will have hard time beating jhakri even with DM augment.
Same for relic+3 legs. It has some stats advantage that makes them bis for damage over Amalric. Blu spells are not blm nukes. They have different modifiers and that shouldnt be overlooked.

not sure about it but i think they still are affected by int and mnd based MACC so i'd double check wether to ditch jhakri or not. you want to sure additional spell effects stick.
I really use it for the recast more than the damage difference. I typically only use 3 nukes when cleaving, so I like having the extra recast reduction. I honestly couldn't care any less about sidegrades for a specific nuke especially considering I don't have wardrobe 3/4.

I underatand, I wrote it more for general info, not as reply to you personally. On the other hand I mentioned legs too and you should have them anyway for wsd, unless you use blu exclusively for cleaving. I think relic legs are for example better for entomb, which people often use for cleaving. any changes to the front page savage/expi sets with the additioon of the unity R15 gear?
I assume the Sailfi belt+1 R15 is going to surpass metalsinger but what about fotia? Asura.Zidaner said: » any changes to the front page savage/expi sets with the additioon of the unity R15 gear? I assume the Sailfi belt+1 R15 is going to surpass metalsinger but what about fotia? Since it is stronger than metalsinger it is stronger than fotia since fotia is weaker than metalsinger for Savage/Expiacion. Has anyone without Orpheous sash tried using Acuity belt +1 r15 yet? Wondering if its next best when it comes to cleaving :o?
Quote: Has anyone without Orpheous sash tried using Acuity belt +1 r15 yet?

Wondering if its next best when it comes to cleaving :o? fml and here I thought I was safe with Sacro Cord Seeing how R13 Metamorph wins with shiva+1, which is something like 5~6int vs 3mab.. Acuity might win too, because that's 15INT vs 8 mab. There is also a matter of Sacro having MND, which might even out numbers for spells that uses MND as WSC. There is also a matter of Burst Affinity on or off. That being said, Acuity is best macc belt anyway, so you dont really risk anything upgrading it. Question: While I work my way towards RMEA weapons, I am using a Colada with decent augments and a Kaja Sword (don't have pulse yet). Are these the two weapons I should use? I have access to Nibiru and most weapons before that.
Secondly, does it matter which is Main Hand and Off Hand? Thanks! Ragnarok.Manillagorilla said: » Secondly, does it matter which is Main Hand and Off Hand?

Is there a trick to getting Mighty Guard's duration to show up in the Timers plugin? Other blue magic is showing up properly but Mighty Guard isn't.

Have it rank 13 at the moment, and I was curious if it beat Shiva Ring +1 for nuking. Same method for testing as Max/Kaja rods. All under 1 distance for Sash. Subduction: Shiva +1:9657 Metamorph ring +1:9699 Tenebral Crush: Shiva +1: 19304 Metamorph ring +1: 19538 Retinal Glare: Shiva +1:12417 Metamorph ring +1: 12751 Entomb: Shiva +1:15176 Metamorph ring +1:15400 Spectral Floe: Shiva +1: 17938 Metamorph ring +1: 18498 Anvil Lightning: Shiva +1: 14407 Metamorph ring +1: 14621 Searing Tempest: Shiva +1: 14199 Metamorph ring +1: 14407 So, it does across the board. New nuking ring for BLU What spells you have set for this and what gear you are using and what are you killing? Do you use any buffs/food? My numbers are significantly lower (with non optimized spell list, but with max mab tier) and my set is this (Amalric legs for spells where they are winning): ItemSet 357030 mine is very similar.
ItemSet 351745 Can someone help a brother out and post BiS TP/Expiacion sets for BLU using Tizona/Thibron? I just came back to the game after a two year hiatus and am wondering what gear I'm missing to get current for content like Dynamis.
Also, what's a good alternative for Mirage Stole +2 while I work on unlocking the augment for it? Fotia for WS/Any neck with high STP for TP basically? Thanks for your help. The set in the guide is up to date.
I don't think anyone has non-DM herc feet that actually beat jhakri+2 feet. Fotia until Mirage for expi, or tp Anu neck was best before. Not sure how Metamorph+1 ring with aug does now int16 is pretty damn high. Illabrat is good with dex and attack. otherwise ring alternatives normal str rings. For TP not much has changed for Blu in the last two years, for Expiacion you can swap out the Fotia for augmented Sailfi +1 belt. Also, for DT hit up Lilith for the entire Malignance set.

was just aboutt to edit Sailfi Belt +1 with aug in, forgot that
ItemSet 372816
What I use. Pumps out 40-50k with trust buffs when acc is good. Sure there can be a few changes but for 1-2% more dmg I am not spending 500m lol...stupid Asura economy |
