help making WHM Melee set please

[WanderingWhiteMage]

that piece was not easy for me to get, it would be nice if SE would make it upgradeable with magian trials

That body is not bad... Most beginner whm melee usually have that body. If you want to play whm melee bad enough then you would need more specialized gears (e.g. add-on gear with whm melee augments). If you really want to have DD like damage capability then it would cost you a little bit more. If you really want to be the best whm DD then be prepare to sacrifice a lot of time, effort and gils.

But if you just want to try it then you can practice first with AH gears.

>> Any two decent mauls
>> head: Walahra Turban
>> neck: Peacock Charm
>> earring: Merman's Earring x 2
>> body: Your precious Reverend Mail ^^
>> hands: Blessed Mitts
>> rings: Sniper's Ring x 2
>> back: Potentia Cape
>> waist: Headlong Belt
>> legs: Blessed Trousers
>> feet: Blessed Pumps

BTW, Its really hard to be in a so called "right situation" for you to melee as whm. But there is no denying the fact that whm can melee and can do uber damage that is comparable to most of all DD's but the difference between having a melee whm set and having the best melee whm set is like hell and heaven.

The above set should give you a feel on how to play whm melee (note how all the gears can be bought on AH ^^). This setup is really cheap to obtain. If you really start liking it then you can go start getting the RARE/EX gears... Then if you really really like it, then you can spend some gils buying the +1 blessed gears. Now if you get hooked being whm dd (I dont blame you if you do), you can start dreaming of getting one of the more hard to get weapons (Kclub, Empyrian, Mjollnir). The key is to have fun doing it... otherwise getting the gears to have melee whm would make it no fun for you because of how most people frown on seeing a whm melee.

I agree with most of what everyone else has already said about gear for meleeing, but with regards specifically to the reverend's mail, while it's a decent piece, the -5 mnd actually hurts your hexa strike damage (among others) whereas if you get the ACP body and augment it with acc/att +10 and macro it in for WS, your ws damage should increase significantly, meanwhile TPing with the goliard saio for the 4% haste or w/e is on it

PS I know the feelin' about the reverend mail, I <3 mine, and still wear it occasionally cuz I'm proud to have it lol

I worked so hard on my Rmail and now I don't use it anymore . And if for some reason you can't get a Goliard Saio (like me) and are doing limbus, Nashira body works too, but really, its so much harder to get and gives one less haste...

Why do you think I call it diarita?

Why do you think I call it diarita?

It certainly isn't because you think that other people could possibly understand what you mean by that.

I had previously thought you were talking about a completely different Club that I was unaware existed, and I'm sure most people in this thread thought the same until you actually tried spelling out "Deae Gratia."

FYI, the Club's name in Latin means "Grace/Gift of the Goddess" (my memory's rusty), but you could try calling it D.G. for short. Tu'Lia knows it'd be much more informative than "Diaratia."

Evertime I say it in game, people know.

Evertime I say it in game, people know.

For a variety of reasons, I'm having a hard time taking this claim seriously.

Perhaps if you tried explaining what you meant to your own circle of friends, then maybe I could see them understanding you, except how often does the Deae Gratia come up in casual conversation, anyway?

In general, not just friends.
And once every two months give or take.
