I just finished up my trials for Jishnu's Radiance yesterday, and I don't really know what type of set up I should be aiming for to maximize damage output.. DEX, STR, R.Att, Crit rate inside abyssea.
This is what I've been using:
I was pulling off 2,000~8,000 WSs all night with Red Curry buns, RR, VV, Sea Daughter.
What do you guys think would be some upgrades to my set, or a total new set to use if I'm doin' it wrong.

loki's kaftan, aias bonnet

gatta strap +1 would be an upgrade for grip slot.

@Asura.Nyaarye ooo Going to buy one of them as soon as it pops on the AH, thx for letting me know about it.
Thanks for showing me the upgrades to my set, but is it even the right set up for the WS? I've been just maxing out DEX as much as I can. Would a little more STR help... or I guess what is the best set up for the WS. I would think Crit Rate > Crit DMG > DEX > STR > R.Acc/R.att This is what i use atm for Jishnu's radiance:
I don't really know how optimal my set is excluding the obvious upgrades but i've been happy with it so far. I have kinda been waiting for a thread like this to pop up in hopes of getting some more information on the WS and what gear would be best for it. Maybe some of the math masters here can be of assistance :D If it were me, I would test on a few rabbits in Ronfaue. Add a little STR, add a little DEX, add some R ATT, add some AGI, mess around with it for a little bit. If you can get some basic data, it should be possible to figure out what stats need boosting in abyssea.
Its very possible that you'd get more use out of Strongarm atma over VV. I would think that Loki's Body would be an improvement. And getting a double damage from AF3+3 items would probably push your damage into (for now) record breaking numbers. Imagine a 16,000, non-brew WS? edit: Set activation doesn't work on WS, ignore the above "record" comment. wouldn't jupiters staff be better than vulcan's staff for the +15% crit. hit rate for this WS?

I'd put ratt above str. Capping fstr is pretty easy. Also GH would probably be better than VV.

I'd think something like Razed Ruins, Gnarled Horn, Stout Arm. I noticed I wasn't capping crit rate with just Razed Ruins on Arching Arrow, had to put on Gnarled Horn for a consistant 2.3k+. This of course, would mean no regain though but you might be hitting that 8k every time.

What do you think of RR with Omnipotent and GH. 50+50 DEX + 50 AGI should make for some interesting #'s, any thoughts?

So is the gorget actually better than ire+1 for Jishnu's? Because for other rng ws ire+1 will out dmg gorget. By rng ws I mean sidewinder/refulg (at 300tp of course). This is based on the testing someone posted within a thread here - he found ire+1 to always be top ws piece for sidewinder dmg (even inside aby).

But dex or even ratt neck might be better. Bahamut.Dasva said: Siren.Froggis said: So is the gorget actually better than ire+1 for Jishnu's? Because for other rng ws ire+1 will out dmg gorget.

As for the original topic now.. if the str mod on normal ws can cap can the dex mod on Jishnu's cap too? so rttk would be most effective after a cetain point?

As for the original topic now.. if the str mod on normal ws can cap can the dex mod on Jishnu's cap too? so rttk would be most effective after a cetain point? The reason why str is usually better is because of fstr2. Str is basically the primary mod of phsyical ws. For ranged it is termed as fstr2 for melee fstr. For ranged it would be equivalent to about 60% secondary mod... but it caps. The dex will not cap... however the higher you take your base dmg thru things like dex weapon ammo and fstr etc the less gain you will get out of it so comparatively ratt would become more valuable. Same with getting too much ratt though ratt (or at least Cratio/ratio) will cap WS mods don't cap, but fSTR2 isn't a WS mod. The STR mod on Sidewinder is rather low, so if fSTR2 is capped then STR becomes much less valuable for Sidewinder.
EDIT: what Dasva said 
Necro Bump Detected!
[38 days between previous and next post]Quick question about Jishnu's. Since its properties are Light and Fusion, will flame gorget work for it? im confused on the whole gorget thing. Does light mean any light related gorget will work?(thunder wind fire)

Does light mean any light related gorget will work?(thunder wind fire) I asked this question earlier, and got mixed answers. Flame will definitely work though, because fusion is fire/light.

Towards the people who said +3 DEX grip for the weapon skill, Brave grip would not be better? If not, explain please.

Does light mean any light related gorget will work?(thunder wind fire) If you are /nin, then dual wielding augmented Yataghan from Abys - Grauberg with critical damage %(caps at 6% each) will be your best option. With two maxed 6% Yataghans, Loki, and Cavaros you can reach the magical 20% that will cap you at 50% critical damage when in Abyssea using Razed Ruins.
The merits of these daggers obviously depreciate with a different sub, but reaching the critical damage cap is a nice benchmark if you're looking to maximize Jishnu's Radiance damage. DEX alone with cruor buffs and razed ruins should beyond cap your crit rate. and really nothing makes up for /sam
he was talking about crit damage, not crit rate, and dex + razed ruins will not cap crit rate, it will only cap crit from dex.

Light Gorget actually aligns with Transfixion-based Weaponskills. However, sea gorgets also apply to level 2 skillchains (e.g. transfixion also applies to fusion) so logically, they should also apply to level 3 skillchains (fusion to light). Because Jishnu's is Light-property, any elemental gorget aligned with the Light-side elements (Flame, Breeze, Light, Thunder) should also work with Jishnu. At least that's how I understand it.
The individual elements won't work with light, so flame, breeze, thunder would all be out for light ws's. I've heard of testing saying that light/dark will work for their respective lvl 3 sc properties but I can't confirm atm as I haven't found it yet.
