So yea, combined rolls but the cap is 30, i thought there was an update that fixed those from happening unless the augment is really old.

Cap with fern on merlin hands is bp10 and mab/macc (both can happen together or alone) is +30 unless there's those combined rolls that happen sometimes but plz post a pic, i wanna see those bp10 pet: macc36 mab37.

Ive posted it a couple times on here. People have remarked on it before. Problem is I used photobucket and its not longer available. whats the better way?

In addition to that I know at leat 3 other ppl that have augs similar to mine. +30 is definitely not the cap.

Sorry for the vague response, lemme specify: the cap on a single augment is 30 max but in the cases of people getting 2 like frod said, they were getting up to 40, possible more with DM but getting high bp dmg and the correct mab (or att) needs big luck i think.

Hi.

Eyeballing, how much would increase a flaming crush dmg changing from espiritus (with pet mab/macc) to a nirvana?

My current set is more than enough to beat D meeble with 4 but the same setup dont have enough gas to beat it on VD (dealing 60% before astral cond wears off) so wonderng if nirvana alone could make for that difference.

Thanks in advance.

Just to share, in the end i managed to finish my mule nirvana, and after some tries finally managed to beat VD with 4 (2 SMN 1 GEO 1 RUN) after not just nirvana but also upgrading 3 pieces to HQ (apogee legs and crown that become dirty cheap, sancus satchet not so cheap but totally amazing) and upgrading artifact body to +2.

What i find interesting in my last run is that due to some mistake geo forgot to put that entrust languor on RUN (buffs were frailty bolster malaise all with idris) and just that gimp bubble was enough to reduce almost 50% of the total dmg from flaming crush. Im already considering to change my merits (it was 5 on physical acc and 5 on mab) to 5 on macc and acc.

Taken smn to a couple, not really worth. The PLD seems to exclusively go after the summoner. Not really sure why, nor care enough to find out why.

I could see it working decently as a healer with Ramuh's favor for the crits, but it doesn't seem all that worth it.

SMN works well as main heal for this month Ambuscade. I have no problem to keep my group alive while maintaining Ramuh's Favor in VD. It is also a good occasion to notice how potent are Wilt and Tidal Roar together.
The Protector seems to focus his attention on the farthest target during Invincible, have the mages stick to him before Invincible helps. He is really not dangerous with his attack reduced by 96% and hits for around 80-150 (w/o PDT gear) instead of 400~.
The only thing that can bother is Miasma (Slow+Plague+Poison AoE) but you can switch on Carbuncle for Soothing Ruby, the boss is stuck with his elemental wheel once below 75% HP.
Obviously this requires more work and attention than AC zerg but playing a healer/support role can sometimes be very effective and fun.

Gridavor/Nirvana
Elan strap +1
Helios head - BP 7, pet DA +8, attack or acc +30

Lungabanda Earring
Convoker's Doublet +3
Merlinic dastanas BP dmg 10 hopefully pet str/attack or acc
Varar rings x2
Campestres Cape - pet attack/acc +20, think dye can give 10 more
Incarnation Sash
Apogee Slacks +1 Path D
Helios boots - BP 7, pet DA +8, attack or acc

Apogee Crown +1, Apogee feet +1 and convokers pigaches +3 are probably both suitable substitutes for helios.

Merlinic dastanas - BP dmg +10 / as much mab as possible
Varar Rings x2

Regal Belt
Apogee Slacks +1 path D
Apogee Pumps +1 - magic path

Magic Pacts

Griovolr / Espiritus - MAB/ BP dmg focused
Elan Strap +1
Apogee Crown +1 - magic path

I can only back this up. Defo +1 phys Feet > Helios.
For Volt Strike, Helios Boots will beat Apogee Pumps +1 path B. The only time I've found this not to be true is when I have Nirvana AM3 up due to all the extra multi-attack it gives. Ali's sets are spot-on.

If you want to confirm what I'm saying, you can use the "SMN Physical Damage Calculator" on my pastebin. All you have to do is copy & paste the text into notepad, then save it as an ".html" file. It isn't a full simulation, it only compares BP Dmg to Pet:DA.

For example with my current set, excluding the slight difference in acc/atk, Helios Boots average 1.86% more damage than Apogee Pumps +1. That includes the 2 BP damage I'd gain on the Apogee Slacks +1 from having the set bonus active. Sure, my 3-hit Volts will go down in damage (the ones with no multi-hit procs) but I go from 62% chance of only having 3 hits to only a 50% chance of only having 3 hits. Basically going from 2/3 having no multi to only 1/2 having no multi, just from that one Helios.

Edit: Regarding Ali's sets, I do want to clarify the legs for magic pacts. It's a wash between Apogee Slacks +1 path A and Enticer's Pants. They can both beat each other depending on which pact, and how much TP the avatar has, but even in the most extreme cases you generally won't see a difference of more than about 300 damage between the two.

No, SMN just hasn't gotten many gear improvements since it's in an extremely good position for content atm.

Tbh I completely forgot about Enticer's.

If I do not plan on maining SMN and just want it leveled to bring out for stuff that's better to SMN burn like Kirin v2 are there any sets that are skippable or am I still probably going to need every set in the OP?

Basically, if there are skippable sets, can you tell me what sets to aim for?

Thanks everyone :)
