because you A. used wrong food, B. adding drops i specifically said arent worth aiming for as the chances of seeing them arent that high for average joes, if you read my original post. if anything, youve just proven you have selective reading, and proven my set still does great dps for non 5/EX drops one may never see.

your selective reading and hellbent focus on trying to prove something wrong that isnt there is just sad.

my opinion on best balance for the average joe; because lets face it, only a handful of posters here have or will see the end of turn 5.

Really, quote yourself saying anything about extreme primals.
Sorry, if I took your pre turn 5 too literally. I thought you had a thing for being literal and all.

Also, the food was optimal considering your set needed the acc (and still didn't reach the cap) and the other one didn't.
I used your set directly from your link so if the food was wrong, it was what was provided. If you mean you can get the more expensive food to reach the acc cap, the other set can still pick up the Black Truffle Risotto and widen the damage gap further.

Anyway, this thread has derailed a bit too far at this point.
If you're going to say the EM primals are out of reach, you might as well advise them to go all myth cause Coil is too hard too. What's the point of even making a BiS then?
At least Turn 5 is one step above the rest and the last progression in the game. EM primals aren't in that league.

EDIT:
Not to mention your set included the Hellish Claws (and Vortex Ring).
Am I being trolled here?

Why are we arguing about sub-optimal item sets in a BiS discussion? Planning the "best" gear that's "not the best" is like designing a strict training regimen to get exactly 13th place.

Yea. I mean, I think it helps to talk about set progression or general gearing progession, but this probably isn't the place.
And this has gone way too far. I apologize for my part.

No reason to apologize. I just thought it was ironic to find a heated debate on sub-optimal gear in a best-in-slot thread, lol.
