Caladabolg Build.

0/4/0/3
0/0/1/0
0/0/5/0
0/5/0/0

+ 15 /sam = 33.

Actually, if you use phasmida/tyrant/attila's earring combo instead of goading/blitz/bale earring, you can gain another 6+ accuracy and not lose any attack. This is the ultimate accuracy set for Caladbolg 7 hit.

stp6 da3 berk

Could use Ryuga in place of Homam as well for more acc.

the differences between an adaberk set and the set we put together are:

AF3+2 Head/Ace's Mail/Perl Pants/Tyrant's Ring/Attila's

vs.

Zelus/Augmented HQberk/2str 7acc 3 haste pants/Blitz ring/Bale's

So 12 Dex/25 Str/38 Att/31 Acc/3% DA/5 STP/12% Haste

vs.

11 Dex/17 Str/36 Att/32 Acc/3% DA/6 STP/12% Haste

So taking out some small differences like 1% ODD from having 2 pieces of AF3+2, -15 subtle blows, - evasion etc etc, the ace's set is really similar and likely easier to get (6 ACC 3 DA berk is pretty hard to get in comparison). Can probably get some augmented Attila's to match whatever ACC earring you can sub in.

Overall, AF3+2 helm is just a really good piece with DA on it that is hard to replace. As you have said, one of the biggest flaw is that DRK, excluding Apoc DRKs, still need gears that lack accuracy to cap haste.

Question!
Current torcleaver build:


Swapping in af3+2 legs and Anguinus belt when LR is down.
Would the str+4 atk+15 neck be better during LR down aswell?
And any other suggestions.
Need Rajas in WS set when I use my TP-ACC set, so I cba to make two different torcleaver sets for such a minor change*

Elemental Gorget/Belt isn't doing much since Torcleaver has such a huge fTP . Swap them for Apathy gorget and warwolf belt.

Using apathy.
So warwolf is better than snow belt even without any decent augments?

Attack not capped Anguinus or if you have att (4-6)augment on Warwolf. Attack capped use elemental belt or warwolf. They are all closer then I first thought.

Your biggest gain will be from a moonshade earring. ~4% damage increase alone.

If your shadow breastplate isn't augmented you'll want to use Ares body.

Looks like Candlejack got y

Quick question: best place ppl have found to get +atk augments on warwolf belt? VoS? Sky? Are they fairly common, or better off just grabbing an anguinus?

Sky for DD augments, but its a super random system. Anguinus/ele belt should be plenty.

Doesn't matter; about as common as any other decent augment.

I just recently finished my Caladbolg and was not pleased that I could just barely break 1K Torcleaver on Voidwatch NMs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Working on finishing WoTG now for my TP earring. Drop rate on Ares pieces are, as we all know, horrific. My LS is doing Odin, so fingers crossed on Shadow Breastplate at least. I cannot for the life in me manage to get my last 3 Voyage coins for +2 feet, and I'm a little hard up for gil at the moment, so no Jingang graves yet.

That just means your atk is fairly low. off the bat use af3+2 legs and spiral ring. Not too sure what else if you have no money.

Askar Manopolas +5 - DEF31 STR+14 VIT+9 INT+9 Crit+3% DoubleAttack+3% Setbonus

:Q

You can't break 1k using that gear? You're either not using last resort or not using food (if you're not using food shame on you).

I did 2k on Celeano last week with this set (that I feel is fairly half assed) consistantly and spiked as high as a 3,620:



If you're using food and last resort (fully merited effect) then your problem might come down to being taru..... I dont know.

Stalwart's as well.

New TP Build?



Head= Askar Zucchetto +5 - DEF36 ACC+10 ATK+10 EVA+10 StoreTP+7 Haste +7Subtle Blow +7 Setbonus

Legs= Askar Dirs +5 - DEF51 DEX+10 VIT+10 ATK+24 StoreTP+7 Haste+6 Setbonus

Armadaberk would be store TP+5/DA+3

86 TP in 5 Swings, Only need 14 Store TP on Torcleaver.

VIT 27
Delay 430
DMG 132
Occ. deals double damage 0
"Double Attack" 5
Attack 97
"Store TP" 42
Accuracy 50
Haste 26
STR 22
Enmity 3
DEX 23
"Subtle Blow" 12
Evasion -1

Can use Quad Attack necklace if you want. This just seems good for a 6 hit build that actually needs accuracy.

Torcleaver in


Askar Manopolas +5 - DEF31 STR+14 VIT+9 INT+9 Crit+3% DoubleAttack+3% Setbonus
Askar Dirs +5 - DEF51 DEX+10 VIT+10 ATK+24 StoreTP+7 Haste+6 Setbonus

14.0 TP per Torcleaver. You only sacrifice the STR on Jingang Hose. In return you gain 3 more VIT and +24 Attack while having Store TP.

would this be ideal if S/E doesn't change the stats? It's in the test phase but would look good. 6 Hit that crap without a tactical mantle. If you have NQ Adaberk you can always move some Store TP around on the Neck/Ear Slot. Or even weaponskill in Hagnea Stone.


My bad I had homam on feet instead of ace's leggings

Okay barring the crazy Askar upgrade, would a pair of VIT+5 Aug'd Versa Mufflers (and +6 Att natural) be the best hands for Torcleaver?

Not that I'm dying for 7k gil, but that'd be neat since I grabbed them on a whim. Can they be gotten with higher than +5 VIT?

You can get 5 VIT armada mufflers for the extra 5 attack. I'd take either if I could :3

Is torcleaver even worth it with resolution out there now? ODD might make up for it in some instances but resolution just seems so much better.

Where are the upgraded askar pieces you people are mentioning? I've yet to see them (granted I've been out of the loop not really playing or looking at stuff lately)

Currently need some advice on sets I'm using.

TP:


Torcleaver - LR Up:


Torcleaver - LR Down:


Is there anything I can change/add into my sets to juice out the most I can damage wise?

Also, a big factor I'm trying to figure out, is what atma's should I be using in Aybssea? I've currently been using Alpha&Omega, RR and VV.

Torcleaver is now just for triggering aftermath. I would make sure your torcleaver build is copacetic with getting to 100 tp properly off of you tp build. Other than that I would focus more energy on Resolution.


Whatever gets you out of Abyssea faster. Iirc, I mostly used Savior, RR, Apoc in abyssea because I was lazy in resetting atma situationally. If you're tanking use RR, roaring laughter, gnarled horn, while subbing mnk. If you're there solely as a DD I used AlphaOmega, RR, Apoc. I would have to re-evaluate atmas now if I ever went back in (because of resolution).

I agree with Ash.. needs moar Reso!!

Basically, what your saying is to just focus on building a Resoluction WS build for LR up/down, instead of a Torcleaver ws build?

I still like the damage I can output with Torcleaver though, althought I've only had my Calad for a few days and haven't experienced it enough to know what's good for it and what isn't.

Have a nice Torc build but focus more on Resolution. No reason to have a LR/Down set for Reso that I can think of the set will be pretty much constant no matter LR

I'll have to look up some Resolution builds then, the problem I have is that I'm not a high enough level to use it.

The game doesn't want me to break 330 on my GS and Scythe, which is starting to make me depressed.
