Hello, I just tried Turn 5 and I missed during the dive bombs phase. I did not miss otherwise though. I have 461 accuracy and it is consistent with what I've read about needed accuracy fort Turn 5 : 458 accuracy from the dragon thread. People on my FC told me go up to 478 accuracy or so. I assume this is the cap for front. Should I go up to 478 for this fight?

Also during this phase, I feel like mostly not dpsing (for the phases before, I think I was doing well). We tried by killing all the 4 small snakes all together with a dps LB. Is it right to do it like this ? I have also read a strat where you kill them one by one in order to refresh the debuff on Asclepios. Is it a better strat for melee? We were 2 melees. Do you have any particular tips for this phase? For example, is it that important to avoid the damage debuff from the snakes? Couldn't I have take some?

Thanks.

Gear for 458 ACC (461 is fine). You can't force Twintania to come back any faster so missing here or there against the snakes isn't really a DPS loss in the grand scheme of the fight, so it's better to get more sub-stats for higher damage the rest of the fight. At this stage, those snakes should die way before Twin's flying back in.

Either way with the snakes works. The groups I've run with always prefer bombing them with LB2 all together, with the main snake tank positioning the main snake a little away from the 4 snakes. This positioning lets the main tank take no stacks, and the healers can DPS to speed up the kill, or chill to save MP.

So would the Gloam Boots now be BiS?

If so how does that now change the BiS list?

This should be the BiS list with the fixed stats on the boots.

I see, so you havent upgraded to the Soldiery body yet, the Weathered Gloam Tabard. yeah then its possible. Upgrading to the body you lose a lot of ACC. Thats why i was asking as its impossible for me to use the Allagan weapon.....

On that note, between Tidal Wave Petas and the Spharai Animus, im guessing everyone prefers the Tidal weapon? simply because of the huge amount of crit over SkS?

My main is Warrior, so all of my Soldiery is being spent on Tank gear for the time being, which is why I have yet to upgrade to the Weathered Gloam Tabard

I went and made the Saurian body with full accuracy, so I've been using allagan fists with no problem myself. Gloam tabard I will get later down the line since I expect to get a high allagan body before then, and would rather use the 110 piece for progression, and get the Gloam body later when I have an extra sand of time to upgrade it. Getting Glanzfaust tuesday after reset, accuracy problems are going away for a while.

I am 4th in line for the weapon after getting my Tidal wave weapon and Animus. But im fine with that. the BLM and WHm will get their weapons before me but hey we still need to beat T7 first xD

Hi here,

I'm trying to gear my new monk char and I was wondering if you have something like the BLM google doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...TDVkM1E#gid=67) to summarize BiS, important stat, and so on ?
Or something similar.

Because 213 pages is too much to read and there is no recap in the first post.

I need to find a strategy to gear it very quickly (want to do 2nd coil with it asap) and was wondering if I should buy directly the gerolt weapon or buy some soldiery stuff ...

thanks!

Lewena's new Thread appears to be a work in progress, but it has some useful information in the first post which seems to be getting edited all the time:
