Got my first 528 delay scythe.. and playing with possibility of 5hit using shit i have/easy to get
Looks pretty viable atm


http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/169855


The 6 STP in weapon is carbonara


Cons:
- Not that happy about accuracy, can swap in acc ring instead of blitz.. or perle legs probably, or both if really bad
- or having to eat carbonara.
- likely to get hit gue to oncreased damage = more tp = pointless extra bits anyway

Only STP alternatives are
- the Magian 528 STP scythe (7) + Aurum body (7)
- could drop phantom tathlum for aurum body (7)/chiv chain (1) for a very slight acc boost.

Pro:
- Fucking awesome Attack speed with marches/haste/last resort up.. which can get with any build. but with this 2 sec hit and WS every 8 secs... awesome.
- 20 a hit means WS + 4 hits to ws - big increase in DOT and WS frequency over normal build
- No more perle!!!


Might not bother with tathlum, keep the 6 acc from bomblet and expect to get hit at leats once, or get 3-4 hits on guillotine

Oh yeah?

Well, my drg/whm has 86% and a 8 hit build! And that maximized for MP awwwww yeah! >,>

Drg/sam says 95% acc and 7 hit build. But, factoring in Jumps and multi-WS I float around 5-6. And thats in full perle no food, no songs, no rolls.

and just noticed this is in drk forum... >,> meh.

wannabe DRK..

moving up a hit is one, if not the, biggest ways to increase your damage.

Time to go pop some tygra sets we have been sitting on for months for those aurum bodies.. especially now with the lvl increasee acc isnt as much of an issue for all the things we did at 75.

You'll be able to do dynamis/einherjar/sky etc with no acc gear at all basically id think if you are 2hand DD with merits. Makes randon storeTP gear much more accessble.

I compared this to:

Askar/Dusk set: 6 Hit / 3.6 sec / 75% acc (acc and attack speed both need full tiem hasso)
Perle: 7 hit / 3 sec / 91% acc (add rose strap for 6 hit)
5 hit set above: 5 hit / 1.8 sec / 89% acc

So.. Perle clearly beats the shit out of any previous non-homam set by miles (still beats homam/turban anyway) add a rose strap to keep your 6 hit, or eat carbonara

5 hit set seems to beat perle by some way.. though hard to factor in extra hits on guilltine and geting hit to get 100 tp on perle faster - i think its a step too far as it is only just a 6 hit as it is

I had 6 hit, almost 5 hit on my old gear set I think. I'll have to input my old gear set and see where it stands.

I dunno about being a wannabe Drk. I woldn't mind the Atk tho.

On a relate dnote i thought a Reckoning required all the previous trials to be done and a fuck load of new ones so i never bothered looking into it. I noticed today it doesnt and the trial are fairly nice until you get to the last 2, if crapuddy are aquan its suddenly very easy.

Comfortably the best weapon drk can get bar the very hard to obtain OAThrice or apoc and means can do all of the above , maintain 5 hit and use pizza

My 5hit

still need to use perle and even with haste, hasso & march x2 it is 3.6 sec per hit so a ws every 15~18 sec.


my current setup (6 hit, 95% acc and 3.2 sec per swing)





my 5 hit setup (95% acc and 3.6 sec per swing) - just missing rose strap

why use perle head/hands if not full perle? surely turban/dusk?

was 3 in the morning lol wasn't thinking.

yeah can use turban and dusk.

it drops my delay per swing to 3.4sec

Merit last resort recast and desperate blows.. then tick that box too!

thats what im working atm so 3 more merits for scythe then 8/8 next last resort and desperate blows.

with lv3 desperate blows it goes down to 2.1 sec per swing
