1.23 Imperial Event

[Nero]

For war (multiple materia melds withstanding) dl is pretty much best in slot

How is:

Attack Power : +20, Vit : +10, Str : +15, Evasion : -10, Healing Magic Potency : -20

better than:

Str : +10, Dex : +15, Crit Rate : +20, Crit Attack Power : +20

???

- The +10 VIT you can get elsewhere with Melds, if you dont sit at Cap allready.
- Crit Attack Power > Atk ( more hp income )
- 5 less STR on Tricorne, also can be obtained with a meld from other Gear, if not at Cap.
- DEX is acc and block-rate ( idc about the proc-rate, but thats a fact and war needs block-rate ).
- Crit +20 > - 10 eva, healing magic -20 ( more crit hit, more hp from crit attacks )

Not only that it is in fact better for war-DD, the tricorne dont have the - stats, which are actually bad for a war-tank.. well eva is it.

So you are saying you will take the DL-Helm over Tricorne because of the +10 VIT while you dont care about other stats, which are actually a disadvantage compared to tricorne for WAR-Tank?

The Tricorne is a really Decent Head-Piece and if you dont have double/triple melded Stuff i would take it over DL-Helm.

Crit attack power =/= Attack power

Also, if you use a tricorne in a tanking warrior position which is what half of your argument is based on then you have got to be either high or have no idea how to build a proper tank setup. As far as the accuracy thing goes, if 5 extra accuracy is going to make or break your capability to tank then you need to 1 get some electrum rings +1 and 2 use some accuracy food because thats just plain bad.

[Majidah]

best hat available for any bard who doesn't want to deal with DL drop rates, and I'm counting paragon's crown.

In any case, I don't think anyone opened forum to discuss whether or not they are the best hats ever. Just that a lot of people wanted them, camped them every raid, and still don't have both. So yeah, we want more raids.

Ummm.. go and read again what i posted. You didnt even understand half of it.

Are you comparing two dd hats for what a tanking war needs? I would go with Militia Armet if you want to tank, but regardless you dismiss 10 vit and 5 str and say to get it else where and then point out the acc loss in 15 dex when you can get that elsewhere..

I was unaware War needs block rate... Are you sure you are not confusing this with parry?

Sure thats what im saying.. you can get the Stuff elsewhere. I would prefer having those STR/VIT from triple pants instead of losing the crit rate/crit atk.. and im totally against -stats. For some pieces its hard to avoid it, if you want to have best piece in slot. But here again.. i think tricorne is really decent and personally i would take it over DL-helm.

Oh you got me there.. ! my fault.. yeah mixed it, happens sometimes while not playing on english client currently. But yeah.. mixed it with parry.
