General DD Gear?

[Linh]

You're still using one of the worst weapons available to us. Compare it to the 8 DA (D118) GAxe, for instance, because they have the same delay:

D55, 2 Attacks per round (12.85 DPS) with your gear and no Atma
vs.
D118, 1.33 Attacks per round (18.32 DPS, +42%) with your gear and no Atma

TP gain is higher with the OA2-4, but TP overflow is a serious issue too, so it doesn't come anywhere close to the +50% WS frequency you'd predict.


Also, what kind of X-hit are you going for? It looks to me like you're just throwing STP everywhere while using one of the highest delay GAs in the game. 14 TP/hit base, 5-hit requires about 43 STP. You have ~59 including /SAM. Leave Tactical Mantle in your safe, switch food to Red Curry Buns, change neck to Ravager's Gorget and you can do whatever you want in your WS gear safely. If you don't need the extra STP, switch White Tathlum to Ravager's Orb.

I was /tossing on all that STP is cuz I planned to go /NIN. The Carbonara is needed to obtain 43 STP. I didn't do much endgame content pre-Abyssea, so I'm jus operating under the general assumption that all DD's should sub NIN for extra protection from AOE physicals and single tier nukes.

I don't know the dynamics of endgame outside of Abyssea, cept for Sky since i did the Gods (cept Kirin) regularly as PLD. Is WAR/SAM not an issue for the healer?

90 MNK. 90 BLM. 90 COR.

All POST-Abyssea LEECHED and proud of it.

Doesn't even mention WAR. Is the sig old, or do you not even have war 90 yet? Or did you have war pre-abyssea so left it out of that sig?
