This is what I am using for Upheaval at high attack buffs/cap and swapping out Boii legs for Nyame, Sroda for Niq if not at Attack cap.

ItemSet 365468
Ok thanks, this look exactly like what i am using for Savage Blade. I wasnt sure if i should be using Sakpatas for any of this if fully buffed.

Because you technically should. Sakpata body is pretty big boost here still, then Sakpata head is also still some boost. You would just need to be sure that you are reaching required attack values.

So I've been asked to build a tp and weaponskill set with 21 subtle blow, for using the tp suppression strategy against Ody NMs, I would appreciate it if anyone who uses something like this could share a set or two to help me try and keep as much DPS as possible. Thanks

Altana's Repast +2 is probably the on-paper answer.

But for everyday stuff, I use Soy Ramen/+1 (STR/VIT/Attack).
Gyudon/+1 looks interesting (DA+6/WSD+6%) but pricier. I've never really tried the gyudon so don't know how it compares.

Edit: Love your bankai btw.

In the process of getting Farsha

It a long and expensive weapon to get (for me)

Q - If you have it, when do you use it most?
Q - What's the best thing about it?
Q - Any good sets for it?

Cheers

1) Been using it as my preferred Gaol option in Ody for V25 slashing fights, as well as other fencer shenanigans especially when you are likely to be getting retaliation procs. Also fun to mess around with in C farms.
2) The weapon feels like a good inbetween of Ukon and Naegling. You get close to the white damage of Ukon and close to the WSD of Savage, you'll be short of either but still overall it's fun. It's also nice to have an okay magic option via Cloudsplitter. Mistral Axe not getting eaten by weird auto-target and out of range issues or sniping kills from 15 yalms is also nice.
3) TP AM3 sets you can pretty much just copy Ukon sets, WS sets can copy Savage for Mistral/Calamity, and cloudsplitter is just Nyame + w/e other MAB options you want to throw in for accessories but is still STR/MND based with decent TP scaling.

Zerde, Cloudsplitter spam, just recently used it for Mboze v25 clear. Honestly, I don't use it very often, but that's probably more due to what kind of content I'm running rather than it being a bad weapon or anything. Could probably get away with using it in Sortie but I haven't tried myself.

Zeofromgeo said: »

It's not Naegling, Cloudsplitter looks awesome, you get good physical and magical WS options without swapping weapons.

I have both high STP sets for getting AM3 up and DA/DADmg+/Crit+ to abuse AM3 dmg. My sets are kinda jacked up atm since I moved stuff around for v25 stuff otherwise I'd post 'em for you.

Thank you. I'm going to continue to pursue it. I have other jobs but I just keep thinking ' What can I do for WAR?' : ) Farsha sounds like it has fun aspects. It first came to mind when I heard Myrrh speak about it on 'Next Level Podcast'

Following, Farsha is fun as hell but I don't get to use it often. Segments being able to Mistrel is a huge bonus.

@Taint
ty for input

Not hugely invested in other jobs at the minute, so even moderate use that is fun is worthwhile

Next question
Got Boii hands and legs +3 and have a starstone sitting waiting. What is the next boii+3 worthwhile? Feet for Shining One ws? Or is there another slot more worthy?

I've been trying to to work the empy body into a similar set and can reach identical DPS swapping the bodies then swapping dedition to schere (+boii earring) but sacrificing the magic evasion etc on the sakpata body.

This is what I've come up with for my standard TP set. Previously I had telos earring in place of schere, but with the the new rank 30 augment schere is just a better telos. This actually comes out to 105% DA rate with DA merits, which gives some room for added optimization. You can swap out the 5 DA merits for warcry recast if you actually have a +2 earring, or with just a +1 boii earring you can keep the DA merits and swap out the coiste bodhar for aurgelmir orb +1. The empy +3 body works really great in this setup. It also caps -dt in the process and maximizes sTP to boot.

ItemSet 389073

DA Totals for reference

ammo - 3
Head - 6
Neck - 7
L ear - 6
R ear - 9
Hands - 6
Cape - 10
Waist -5
Legs - 11
feet - 9

Total DA = 72
Is this TP build for GA or Sword? Thanks. Or will it work for both.

Use the Skapata head, that is 13~15% extra melee damage along with high defense and double attack.


Yeah, that's a good way to alter the build. And if you swap out bodhar for orb +1 you end up with 67% DA in gear, so the 5 DA merits fit perfectly.

ItemSet 389089

What can be used in place of +2 Boi earring until you get one?

Boii or Boii+1 and swap back to Bodhar.

I was looking at Restraint usage, and honestly its unclear to me when to use it except to pop it on cooldown. Any thoughts?

Kinda meh on GAXE's but works well for Sword / Axe / Clubs. It just builds up a WSD buff on every hit and gets applied during your next WS.

what is the reasoning behind using Nyame in non-attack capped Decimation set?

Edit: with the Boii Hands +3, it seems like the mid set is focusing on WSD? That mid set doesn't make any sense to me at all...

It's focusing on attack and WSC along with the boost WSD provides on 1 hit, boii hands for example are something like 92 atk along with 12 WSD on 1st hit, nyame is only 5 atk/7STR and 1 DA less in exchange for 13 WSD
