STR/PIE/ATK Testing

[Peptaru]

I just know from playing with a double melded demilune vs. ifrits that the dmg isn't even close, ifrit's blows it away. Its a 30 point difference instead of 16, which makes the difference much much more noticable. I had a great lance til i got ifrits, it took me two seconds to decide which was way better.

Does power surge adds damage on WS? on the stats,we should optimize str first then pie right? what about the lack of accuracy?

[Peptaru]

You can make up for accuracy with electrum rings +1, but figure out how many you need for the stuff you are fightin so you don't waste a slot with overloaded accuracy

I use Tachi Koma's parser. I don't think i'm allowed to directly link it in the forums, but just there is a link to it on BG or FFXIVpro. There is one annoying thing about his parser though. You have to wait for 50-60 battle log entries before it updates. So if I want it to force update, I just spam /say chat until it updates.

You can also make a macro with

/echo .

in every line and just spam that when you are done testing and it will force the parser to update by creating logs.

Good to know; that is the exact problem I was having ^^

Just a small update. Did a quick test with different base damage on BRD with different arrows on R52 Halberdiers. Rate for auto-attack was 0.945 and for Heavy Shot was 1.503. There is probably some error since I only used 3 data points, but that should be sufficient enough to get an idea. An interesting notion is that if gear swapping ever becomes streamlined, gear swapping triple crit melded weapons instead of Ifrit Weapons for Blindside Howling Fist/Doom Spike could be pretty effective (200-300 dmg bonus in a crit set). Still that probably won't be useful until 2.0~

Also to answer Clair's question, I tested both naked and with max ATK gear (700+) and it was still a +39/+39/+40 bonus

As someone whos leveling up to 50 for the first time my main issue is trying to gauge what my final lvl 50 stats will look like as i add points. Does anyone have a good target number for placing point on levelup so i dont over/undershoot str/pie when i hit lvl 50.

In generall i've been placing an extra point or two into STR as i go but since i was unsure how it would add up at lvl 50 base, i've been keeping it fairly even. (if i've missed some resource thats fairly obvious i apolagize.)

Personally, I'd just go with 23 STR and 22 PIE.
