pld novus sword 31 parry 22 acc

[Keroro1337]

hi,

how do your guys plan to meld ur sword? as i believe we are aiming acc cap w/ food of 520 .
i am going for 31 parry and 22 acc what your guys think? since our bis seem heavy parry build. for det/criti i think its kind of useless if you have a good grp for scob.
and plans for future such as 2.4? new tier ilv

Acc for T9, is 515-516 not 520. 31 parry 22Acc look good if you going for Parry BiS. I prolly going for Max Acc and then either Crit or DET.

the party where you said, "for det/criti i think its kind of useless if you have a good grp for scob." it also apply to Parry. with good Group (aka awesome healer) 2ndary stat won't have that much effect.

I have Crit/Det set right now and tanking T9 without any issue. ( we learning the Drive Bomb now, the one in final phase.)

Parry help if you really under gear the content. once you gear enough for the content (for T9 it around avg. ilv 105) it less notice able.

anyway back to the topic ;P, I prefer max melding Acc first so I have more room to pick my armor with out worry about acc cap.

Just out of curiosity what is your Parry rate at Remn? Can you get the full benefits from Poppotto Pancakes (600 base parry)? Do you even eat pancakes? lol I'm assuming since ur in DPS BiS that you would eat Black Truffle Rissotto?

[Remn]

I'm parry is around 500-520 ish I think (I will check once I got back home), I'm eating Button in Blanket, since I'm broke lol. my HP with food and party is around 7947. I'm also lalafel ;P

the way i see it, the high allagan blade has crit on it, so why make another dps weapon that is inferior in ilvl and WD? My novus will be parry and accuracy, it will be my reliable, safe weapon I guess. You need a ton of det/crit to really make a substantial dps increase, and it just never seems worth it to me in exchange for mitigation, which is our job to do, mitigate damage. Parry takes a lot as well, but again, I just figure my relic will be my backup, safe, go to weapon. the extra det from the burtgang wouldn't be better than the WD the t9 blade gives, so this way, you have your novus with parry and accuracy, until you get the t9 weapon. you'll lose your 31 parry with t9, but this way you'll have both a mitigation weapon, and a dps weapon at some point.

just check my parry is 496.
@Kimura410, yes allagan is batter now but Novas is upgradeable in the future. so it will be higher than current High allagan in the future.

what I don't like about parry is that it doesn't do jack about magic damage. and between my 500 parry and BiS parry which is around 650?? I GUESS,?? it about 12-13% chance different, I think (last time I check it 13-14 parry to 1 % chance.

I also don't feel like farming Novas soon, still burn out form animus. lol

tbh, the current state of the game , if you have around iLV 105 avg. you can tank T9 in any combination of 2nd stat (given that you have cap acc).

to me parry is only good for when you really under gear the content.
I might change to parry set when they push out Brutal Coil but for now I will enjoin my 590-600ish RoH CRIT

What are your current stats to obtain high numbers on RoH? Also what are you choosing to meld on your Shield/Curtana?

[Remn]

I'm not planning on doing Novas atm will prolly start soon.

I got about 550-590 CRIT when I pop FoF with no STR pot prolly goes over 600 with Str Pot in Sword Oath, in shield oath I got around 500 CRIT w/ FoF no Pot

I have ilv 110 Burtgang. avg ilv104. I'm not optimizing my build yet as I have to keep my acc at 516. still waiting on HA pant, Belt, ring, and Body T_T. so my stat is everywhere atm. (for now I mainly avoid SS, keep my acc, and have a good mis of Parry/DET/CRIT)

the main thing I will meld is ACC on both sword and shield, so I have more choice on my armor.

[Brine_Gildchaff]

I'm doing something similar, but with 22 det instead of 22 accuracy. I'll put the acc secondary on my shield instead (parry primary of course); honestly 9 on shield should be enough combined with the other gear I'm eyeing. Figure it's always nice to throw some extra damage on there, especially since I run a FoF+Bloodbath macro.

I just wanna eat Poppotto Pancakes and get the full benefits (600 Base Parry)
From what i can see, the only way to achieve 600 base parry atm would be to cap it on the weapon/shield and get the required H.A Drops (Gloves, Boots, Earing, Bracelet). This would put us at 630+ Parry. Perhaps a hidden threshold if you will.

Since Poppotto pancakes are essentially the only 3star food which we can achieve the max benefits from currently, i personally think this is sign that SE wants us to prioritize Parry as Tanks.
