I know the TA augments can be tempting, but really should stop wearing herculean/adhemar. Malignance or even Nyame will serve you much better.

All the triple attack in the world won't help if you're lying face down on the floor.

Thoughts on these?

If you haven’t, I would also work on making your TP bonus gun as well. It can be a bit time consuming to make, but it’ll be a big boost to your damage whenever you’re meleeing and relying on savage blade.

Agree here. NQ abjuration gear isn't ever worth the effort/gil, if the piece is worth having you'll eventually save for the HQ, and then you have to refarm the abj or use DI points again. Don't spend time or money on herc gear either. Lilith is a pain but you end up with an amazing set of armor usable by every job that can equip it. Pretty much your default set for idle and engaged when you don't have a better option.

Here's a set the sim made keeping most of your best pieces, changing the cape to dual wield and /dnc. Might give you some ideas.

I think those were just the pieces I had on hand, plus I'm not sure if I should valuing high amounts STP or more MA stats. I'm still working on the body/legs/feet in the meantime x.x. No Nyame yet..

Ahh kk... again I wasn't sure how much value I should be placing in multi-attack stats vs STP after figuring out how much DW I would need heh. I like that set you made, having most of it minus a HQ ring, +2 empy pants, and the neckpiece - which I'm going to hunt for now. In place of Mummu+2 body, Could I swap in Volte Harness?

For simming, assuming it's Kastra's, it keeps telling me I should just Naegling/Demersal+1 rather then Naegling/Tauret. Not having R15 D.Degan, is dagger offhand better? And should I be looking into main handing Lanun (I'm not ready for a Rostram)

look into a blurred knife +1 (don't buy nq though). if it is too much atm, just stick with tauret imo. not a big deal.

volte harness is fine, didn't include when i ran that.

"In my experience give up the dw all around. I don't use it on cor or brd promise u do better without it"

This is equivalent to flat eathers. Talking strongly about something that is proven wrong by any person knowing what they talk about.

DW is one of you strong speed up factors and amplify the effect of multiattack and STP

My old glass cannon set that focuses on X-hit. I use this on sub-Sortie/sub-Oddy mobs.

ItemSet 395926

My current main engaged set. I made this one specifically for Sortie (soloing B objectives). I generally DW path B Rostam and Crep. Knife.

ItemSet 397709

Full Acc Set. Dex and Acc on cape. R15 Gazus, best with Rostam/Crep. At ML 50, Acc is 1553 before food. I generally don't wear this. If I need a full acc set, then I need full DT and really shouldn't be part of the melee group. I should be doing ranged attacks.

ItemSet 397710
