Blu Tp Set and WS set Suggestions for upgrade :D

Which specific cases are those if i might ask? i can see something you able to melee, but if you can melee it why not jsut use physical spells and a STR or DEX sword?

Some people have noted better numbers with Burst Affinitified Charged Whisker using two Slurpee Swords than a staff, I assume because the build used for that has little Magic Attack Bonus in it to make room for more DEX.

The same might apply to any spell where a drastically different build is used during Burst Affinity, but I can't think of a another good magic spell like that. It's also possible those people were just using weird equipment they should not have been using, I guess, and the different was small.

And yeah, your thinking on that is correct. If you can stand in melee range, there's no reason not to just use physical spells. If you're using magical spells, there's no reason to stand in melee range and you're giving up the main advantage magical spells provide by doing so.

I see.... Well thank you for your input spank. one last question if you do not mind. Im currently working on a single STR Shikager (at birds) now, im almost done with Almace, would there be a situation where i would have to drop my almace for anouther type of sword? (no dispose just not use Almace for that particular fight).

[Prothscar]

No, never. I don't personally understand anyone who would drop Almace for another sword; the offhand weapon is malleable, mainhand is not, even with the advent of Requiescat.

As for MAB swords vs. Staves, accounting for changes in gear options since the last time I checked MAB swords and they were coming up close to Staves (85 or so), recent gear improvements and the like put it all in favor of staves. When using swords for magic damage, you lose a decent chunk of accuracy and damage as well as the time spent actually making them, plus two more inventory slots which are pretty precious for this job. I can't really condone those.

Ok, good lol did not wanna do those trials again. I was wondering something, Would Homam boots be able to replace Pink doom boots? seeing as how Lancing is being a stingy little bugger. And is a EVA set still good to make? i was thinking yes but im not sure anymore with the VW mobs being able to hit just about anyone.

[Prothscar]

Homam are superior, but dusk ledelsends +1 are even better than those.

EVA set should be one of your standard sets. One with full on EVA and one with a mix of evasion and DD stats would be best. It's not so much for Voidwatch as it is for solo and lower level/mid level content; PDT set for Voidwatch is best.

[Oricimaru]

You would not happen to have a sample set i could look at for Full Eva would you.

Hybrid

Full
