I dont understand locud ring there. Since you have 3x merlinic with at least 10% magic burst bonus and a neck with 10% you should be at 40% cap. Is that ring MBB II or something?
Also Raetic Staff is out of my reach so I would like to know the best set without it.

Advice on my Helix MB Set
tyalangan said: » 1. Are you using Raetic just for MB and helixes or just helixes? Or maybe MP doesn't run out even with the 30% added and you full time it on all nukes? 2. With almaric are resists not an issue? Or is this assuming marine stew pots, idris geo focus or something similar? I have macc on all those pieces just didtn list it, we did testing with malaise/focus on cromdrom fixed the ring: set was carry over. I was just using on helix, the akademos seemed to do better on nukes (maybe high mDMG? is what helped the helix) SimonSes said: » I dont understand locud ring there.

Also Raetic Staff is out of my reach so I would like to know the best set without it. Fixed, good catch, was using shiva+1, we also tested with +3 relic head, +3 af body, some marquas gear, amalric+1 etc if not Raetic+1, Akademos is weapon of choice Fenrir.Kaldaek said: » So from what im reading... If Raetic HQ, no klima boots If Akademos, use klima boots? Toralin since your doing the bulk of testing... would you mind posting BiS Reatic (HQ only) and Akademos. Thank you for your efforts! this is what i best remmber being second best (akademos) ItemSet 341515 Only 36% Magic Burst Bonus tho, assuming perfect merlinic head.
So that +11 Magic Damage makes Amalric feet better than empy+1 for helixes?? Interesting.. But then wouldn't Merlinic legs be better than Amalric? Merlinic has Magic Damage +13 and can have up to 55MAB (15 less than Amalric) with higher INT and highier MAcc and also close the cap to 40% Magic Burst Bonus. Idk I think the set with either merlinic legs or body, static earring and Af2+3 head should perform better. It's less mab, but 8% higher Magic Burst Damage, much higher Macc and potentially higher INT. feel free to test yourself, are you including the set bonus from amarlic+1 legs
Well on previous page I actually included Amalric legs+1. I excluded body for Merlinic body. Merlinic Body (up to 60Mab) is only a little behind Amalric+1 body with set bonus (63mab). Realistically you would want to have Merlinic body with Macc too, so 40MAB would be too optimistic. More like 30mab/macc, so 13 mab behind Amalric+1 body with set bonus, but 4% more magic burst on head and probably more mab on head too, since af2+3 has +49MAB and you probably also doesn't have +40 mab on merlinic head. On top of that Af2+3 has tons of Macc too +37Macc +19elemental magic and +15 Macc for Magic Burst. So yeah Merlinic body + af3+2 head seems to be much better overall than Amarlic+1 body and merlinic head.
my merlinic head is 36mab/11burst
And probably because of that good augment you are biased to include it in your set, even when it's imo not optimal.
I can't test this myself, SCH is my next project and I have almost no gear yet. You can either test it yourself and prove me wrong with numbers or we can agree to disagree :) To be more specific I think this set ItemSet 357481 should be better than merlnic head + Almaric Body. I have Empy+1 feet there too and Static earring, but you can ignore it and just switch body and head. As far as Emp Boots go, if the Magic Dmg Spreadsheets are correct, we're finally at the point that they aren't always the BiS for feet. Its become dependent on the spell and other gear.
This is what I found to be BiS for myself doing burst helix with Akademos.
ItemSet 356009 Head/Body +15 INT +10 MBD >30 MAB >30 MACC If Raetic wins, I would have to swap Klima boots for merlinic with atleast the same stats as the other two pieces i have. Not sure I will make the relic head to be honest. Almost every mob I solo burst helix on I can hit 10K. Maybe for solo burst magic? It's a stretch (inventory and cost) for just that. 
Necro Bump Detected!
[45 days between previous and next post]Does anyone have a link for an updated spreadsheet?
the DPS spreadsheet thread does not. and the old one from 2014 doesn't have a column for Magic Burst Bonus II and I'm not sure how to update/include some of the JSE bonunses Hi everyone. Just wondering how I can improve my helix set without getting HQ abjs? Is there anything obvious I could upgrade to get better numbers? Hood has MB+11. Back has Helix duration +20. Type C Akademos. Type D Gages. High macc/mab on the legs.
ItemSet 359265 Thanks for any tips. Most seems good. Other than Regal Earring replacing Friomisi and obvious HQs which you mentioned.
I could be wrong, but I also suspect Academic Gown+3 loses to both Amalric and Merlinic. The complete absence of M.Atk Bonus on the gown is depressing... Why did the developers do that...

Yeah I was thinking the same. I either need to get another merl legs or body with +10 mb and extra mab. Does Dosis tathlum and zuuxowu grip do more damage? pedagogy mortarboard +3 and pedagogy mortarboard +2 are both good options too if you don't need MB+ from Merl head.
niobid strap, ghastly tathlum +1 and yamabuki-no-obi are options too. Shiva.Arislan said: » pedagogy mortarboard +3 and pedagogy mortarboard +2 are both good options too if you don't need MB+ from Merl head. niobid strap, ghastly tathlum +1 and yamabuki-no-obi are options too. Not got any relic +2s yet. Got the strap, but not the other two. I guess they slight improvements? Cerberus.Kylos said: » Not got any relic +2s yet. Got the strap, but not the other two. I guess they slight improvements? Comparable. Call me crazy, but I think that Raetic +1 was winning for helix burst?
Asura.Toralin said: » Tested this on some Reisen NM level content this is the absolute best me and another friend came up with ItemSet 356832 merlinc head 11% 35mab merlinic boy 10% 27mab/7int merlinic legs 11% 30mab This was beating all the akademos combos we could throw at it with amarlic+1 and empy feet with matching weather klimaform. This really came down to carrying 3 extra pieces of gear, merlinic burst body/legs and raetic staff+1 for an extra 3% helix dmg. Obviously if you werent going for helix duration the ambuscade cape would be put int for max dmg Fenrir.Kaldaek said: » Call me crazy, but I think that Raetic +1 was winning for helix burst? None sold on my server. Ok well, i went out and got myself another merl legs. Got a sweet augment with high int (10), macc, mab, and mb+6, so I switched out my shiva ring +1 for locus.
Then I tried a better augment for my hood, so I got a bit more MAB on that with enough mb to cover it. Changed the gown for jhakri, as I don't have merl body and not in the mood to make a group for maju + augment it well. I won't be able to get HQ abjurations or Raetic, but I may be able to get a ghastly stone +1 and Refoccilation Stone for minor upgrades. |
