Stats, Caps and Gear optimization for WAR.

[Krenen]

Well i'm fine with that.

It's just i use full vita parry acc DL and one AF+1. And full vita with my 30 points. I have 325 strengh, shall i try to reach 405 strengh for example ?

This is really helpful though how would this work for a warrior in Darklight gear and not AF+? Just to reach obtain all these myth items would take quite some time so I'm wondering whats a effective build with Darklight OR Darksteel?. Also if you don't mind could you take a look at my warrior and offer any advice you see needed to say? Aleister Grey, Server: Balmung.

Also thanks for pointing out the HQ craft accessories I was considering getting the hero accessories once I got my AF+ set but felt like there was a better out there though I never really looked into the market. Still have a lot to learn about this game.

Titan went down tonight, never got less than 50%...just heals job well done.

Working on goldsmith since this morning to be able to meld dps HQ acc.

I'll try to get that dex wall as soon as i can

Great thread

Each DEX threshold raises your chances of parrying an attack. According to Ninjiitstu testing, there is a DEX threshold around 240 which significantly boost your parry rating.

That is not what his testing suggests. His testing suggests 217-219 minimum to increase 1% and 14.5 thereafter. There's no special bonus for being above 240.

Thanks for the guide, this is really helpful!

Damn that accessories are pain to craft TT

[Shougo]

Just stopping by to let you know you're all wonderful people for putting this much min/maxing and dedication into warriors.

Thanks for the info, i'll be putting it to good use as we speak.

This is an interesting read. I'm planning on leveling my Warrior for fun, but was wondering would x2 HQ Grypho Ring with the same meld, maybe swap the crit for something else? work on a Paladin, assuming (I have no idea, but I would think so) if the "breakpoints" for STR and DEX are the same for both classes. Would x2 HQ Grypho Ring essentially be "BiS" for a tank?

ilvl70 content only yes, by miles and miles

the idea that ilvl70 anything is BiS compared to Hero's/Allagan has been debunked quite a few times in quite a few places though - if you've got a group that's clearing coil don't waste your gil on something you'll be replacing soon

While the accessories are pretty nice this whole business about trying to reach 246 DEX is pretty much pointless. The difference between your base parry rate, and your parry rate with 246 DEX gives you roughly 0.75% additional damage reduction. From an EHP standpoint it's not worth sacrificing so much VIT to achieve this.

Where has this been debunked? I haven't found anything.

Basically with penta-melded 2-star HQ jewelery you are getting +27 to main stats (vs. 15 of Allagan), and then +24 of secondary stats (vs. 27 of Allagan). How is this not better? Especially considering some of the Allagan secondary stats are useless (such as skill speed).
