Last Stand gearsets

[Flionheart]

Are there any unanimous decisions on a superior Last Stand gearset?

I've currently been pretty much doing it in all the AGI gear I use for Wildfire, with some RAt.

Thanks.

I use this (http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/241091). You can throw in a couple extra AGI here and there, Alruna's Gloves are awesome if you can find them, etc, but otherwise it's pretty solid.

Thanks dude

I keep wondering about the relative weight of RATT vs AGI on this WS. From the various times I've used it I've noticed both have a significant effect on the WS but I'm not sure about relative amounts. I assume knows the math on this, otherwise I might have to to some better testing one of these days.

Attack is always going to be important for physical WS on COR. It's just a lot easier to get Attack from outside buffs than AGI.

Personally, if I'm not getting Minuets, Stalwart's, RCB/Pot-Au-Feu+1, Chaos, or at least some combination of high attack buffs, then Last Stand just isn't worth using over Wildfire in general. There are a couple slots where the AGI options are just crap, like the Back slot, where it's nice to be able to throw in RAttack. But, in general, I just pump WSC and then stick to Wildfire unless I'm getting enough buffs to pump my RAttack up elsewhere.

True enough. But it would be nice to have some rough estimate of relative value of pieces. Is a RATT 5 piece better than an AGI +3 piece? RATT 15 vs AGI 10?

Admittedly relative values change based on other buffs. The more RATT you have from buffs the more value AGI has. But in a normal situation where you'd be using Last Stand over WF (magic or fire resistant mob) you'd likely still be using Tacticians/Misers roll, eating RATT food, part time using Stalwarts and lucky to have a BRD. In that setting, what's the rough interaction between the two.

Agree the Back slot is a no brainer since Amemets and Terebellum give such high RATT numbers compared to AGI options.
But what about Navarch's Frac +2 vs Loki's? Seiryu's vs Alrunas (if you are RNG).

[Greatguardian]

Loki's seems a pretty clear winner to me, especially since it also has 7 Rattack on it. So really, it's a comparison between 7RAttack and 9 Racc vs 11 AGI and 7 STP.

Don't have a Loki's (damn you Turul) yet so I forgot about the RATT on it. Guess that makes it a pretty significant winner for Last Stand.

I guess when I think about it there isn't too many slots where there is a high RATT item vs a high AGI item to compare.
