Ive thought about this a lot and just cant decide. Mostly I want one that is useful and not a "show piece". The jobs I play 80% of the time are: NIN THF WAR BST DRG

Im strongly leaning toward Bravura but maybe I should be considering Ragnarok for WAR? Ive always loved Gungir but how does it stack up against Bravura? Kikoku looks so cool but I have Kannagi. Mandau would be awesome but from what I read THF isnt too sought after these days for most things. And all I read about Guttler is lolGuttler.

Any input/suggestions/comments would be great.

P.S. Ive been farming dyna currency for a few months now and just sold my K.Club, so I'm damn close.

I would say do it for the job you enjoy playing the most. Mandau's were popping up everywhere for a while but your right, the demand for thf has vanished. I think Ragnarok is better than Bravura tbh.

Out of all of that, the mandau would probably the best for your choices, unless you're against making empyrean weapons. Ukon and kannagi are simple to make. Drg has easy options. Bst typically use PDT or evasion axes. I just don't see the point in a bravura. Warrior is a damage dealer, any situation where you would want to use it otherwise, you would probably be on ninja thf or bst lol. But yeah mandau would be the most job changing for you.

Here's the thing with these types of threads, yes they can be very helpful and the posts here are correct for the most part. The main thing is that the game changes all the freakin time though. What's good one month may be meh or horrible the next. Go for your first choice of job, cause I'm fairly sure everyone that's made one says to themselves at one point, "Man I'd look pretty sweet with "insert job here" relic." Another thing to consider is if you can't make up your mind, odds are you are playing, and hopefully good at those none relic jobs. So you're not going to be one your relic job all the time cause imo it gets boring kinda fast doing so although you love it. If still undecided, either write them down on paper and pull from a hat, or make them all.

Ukon99.

NIN, THF, and BST damage is inconsequential, and Gungnir and Bravura are pretty useless.

Make whatever you think looks pretty.
Then find any other sort of justification for making it.

It's all down to personal preference, asking someone what you should make is stupid in my opinion since only you will benefit and use it.

If your looking for some opinions though, I'll gladly throw my 2 cents out here:
WAR - I'd personally get a Ukon.
THF - The dagger is good, however THF is not seen as a "dps" job in most cases and is not so useful in current end-game content like VW, Legion(?).
DRG - To me, the polearm is something you should get if you love DRG and play it often. I've seen some pretty amazing numbers being delt with the merited WS.
NIN - Don't bother, Kannagi wins.
BST - Don't bother, STR axes will most probably benefit you more.

Judging from the "Top relics" page, making a crappy Claustrum would make him stand out and be different, just saying :).

95 Bravura will get reamed by 90 Ukon, and if you can make a 99 Bravura, you can make a 99 best weapon in the game.

Rag or Mandau, unless you're a die hard THF don't bother with Mandau. Ragnarok spamming reso's is probably your best bet. Bravura is a complete waste. Honestly wait till next version update I believe they're balancing some WS's.

I know you said you want "useful", but I'd think about what you consider to be your main job. I'm sure there is one you like slightly better than the rest, put a little more effort into gearing it, what have you. That should be the one you make

You said you want to be "useful", but it also depends on what event you usually do, as other ppl's POV towards useful may be different from yours.

Out of your jobs, I'd pick one from Mandau, Ragnarok or Gungnir. Since BST and NIN have better alternatives.

Rag and Gungnir are both good weapons for 2h DD job, but WAR spamming resolution with 2hr+Rag is just damn overpowered. Unless you love DRG way more than WAR, I'd pick Rag.

Mandau isn't bad when you do low man farming with friends, will help your killing speed and efficiency. THF is still used in Provenance, and maybe future update you will need TH for new content, Mandau will be extremely helpful then.

If you want a strong zerg job for events that needs zerging, Rag. If you enjoy lowman farming, Mandau. But Rag, Mandau and Gungnir all isn't bad IMO.
