More than likely, while the pants have 10 mbb they have 0 mab. On non-int aligned spells the wsc might push it over, not sure.
Also, while i guess it depends on how often you plan to use BA to actually burst but would just eat the TP loss and nuke in the clubs then swap back to swords
Looking for advice: Fighting Weepers on 3rd floor of Mea for roughly 2 hours. No a single one has used Auroral Drape. Is it very rare TP ability, and is another location better? I cannot seem to find the Woeful Weepers anywhere.
Its just bad luck, promy mobs have a decent pool of moves, can only keep trying, i always did dia spam below 25%, long as it does 1 dmg itll count and the dot takes ages to kill vs swinging with weapons imo
Thank you all, Got it about ~3 hours in. One finally used it and learned on first go.
Yes, nekkid with -attack gear on, using lv 1 daggers, only using Ulmia for marches to cap haste. Even set up like this, they could only do a single TP move before dying.
Given how Empy+3 is gonna be out of reach for a long time (I have a long list of priorities to complete before I get to BLU) I was pondering on updating my very old BLU mab set which atm in the main slot is composed by:
Head: Jhakri+2
Body: Amalric+1 A
Hands: Amalric+1 A
Legs: Luhlaza+3
Feet: Jhakri+2
I checked Empy+2, given how the DT- would be nice to have in a midcast set, but it's a shame that the DT- is placed on the 3 slots which are the best in my current set (body/hands/legs).
So I'm a bit unconvinced +2 would be an upgrade.
Feet and Head would of course, but they have no DT- on, so I'm not exactly very motivated atm.
Have 5/5 now, will do a comparison between all three sets with all the major nukes. The three sets will be the empy 5/5 +2, the front page, and 4/5 Amalric +1 with Empy head. Like the previous test, all casts will be under 1 distance for Orpheus's Sash.
Starting with Empy +2:
Subduction: 9,806
Retinal Glare: 12,933
Entomb: 16,130
Spectral Floe: 18,864
Tenebral Crush: 18,834
With Pixie +1 instead: 20,642(Did get a set proc here and was 37,986)
Anvil Lightning: 15,737
Blinding Fulgor: 16,071
Searing Tempest: 15,470
Silent Storm: 15,412
Scouring Spate: 17,975
Front page set. Not swapping in Pixie +1 obviously because that's a whole different set with Cohort involved:
I say just go with the 5/5 Empy set. Obviously except on Tenebral Crush. The gap will close even further on a per cast basis when the +3 comes out, and will add even more defensive stats. It's a safe bet. If all you use BLU for is to kill trash mobs for merits, and you already have Amalric +1 would say there isn't a rush to upgrade your BLU set.
Personally, I don't like the front page set. It's like a weird middle ground where you only get 2% on the Empy bonus, not as defensive, and lose damage on a per cast basis compared to using the Amalric set bonus.
@Sechs - Stamos did some testing with the +2 set, and personally a bit of a drop in damage is worth the solid DT increase imo.
