Ninja: Heaven-Sword (And Beyond)

[RobbieH]

Ok i finished A10S, took 6 tries, 3 of which was the OT who messed up the add AOE, one DPS wasn't enough (i died 4 times lol) and the other two were randomly stepping on traps, i never died to add-don't-move thing, pretty easy cause it's the same as Rafflesia.

There's some things i'd like to do and that i think would be better for DPS, for example, during spread, i always had to move away because OT wouldn't do it, which imo he should so i could keep dps, im pretty sure theres enough space between MT and me since there's no other melee.

Earlier i mentioned the SMN doing 1700 on A9S, turns out was one of the BLM since her DPS wasn't that good this time either.

DPS:

Me: 1993 (i guess isn't that bad considering was my first time and i'm ilvl254 (no DRG/BRD/MCH) and don't use pots and had to move away from boss for spread cause OT didn't)
BLM 1: 1866
SMN: 1829
BLM 2: 1347
WAR: 1111
MT (PLD): 1006

Also i had to to disable party effects because there's too much effects (Blizz 4 and Fire 4) on the boss and could barely see the positioning bellow boss.

Actually the simluated average has the order of 714 > 697 > 739 accuracy sets in terms of DPS. 714 comes out at 2736.4, 697 at 2735.2 and 739 at 2732.3. Also note that you have double augmented shire ring in the 739 acc set which I changed to the 260 shire when simulating. So the 714 accuracy set is the BiS

The 714 set has the Alex 270 ring with Crit melded in it. What would the numbers be then with Sks melded in since the next step is 492 SS as you noted, or with the 260 Shire ring.

Ok, second day raiding, we going for A10S, just using PF to find a healer cause one of the static couldn't come.

PF says "0 Chests", so i proceed to ask leader.

Here's the conversation:



Basically they gave a random guy a chance for four items (2 per turn), right now i just want to leave party and leave them to themselves. :/

To be honest...i would leave that static because this is BS.

Skillspeed melded is higher than crit melded with an increase of 5 DPS, due to it being skillspeed the accuracy of the sim and therefore the increase in DPS should more accurately be between 2-4 DPS.
As for the shire ring, due to the drop in crit the shire ring is no longer surpassed by the alex ring.

ok thanks, but now i'm even more confused what the BiS would be XD

What sort of difference are we talking between the 739 set and the SS melded 714 set? Is a a big enough difference to warrant saving up for the shire head and getting the alex ring?

5-6 DPS or 0.2%. As I found a misstake in my simulator where the potency of spinning edge was higher (200 instead of 150) the DPS before was higher but doesn't change the difference significantly, but in my opinion, no not worth it at all.

[DarkerOrange]

ok, thanks I shall stick with the set I have.

What's the increase in DPS of the Supra potion if used on a 3m dummy?
