Exenterator

Since whoever asked a silly question deleted their first post, I deem this thread to be the all-end-all discussion on Exenterator from the DNC perspective.

BEFORE YOU ASK: NO, ELEMENTAL GORGETS / BELTS ARE NOT GOOD CHOICES FOR THIS WS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1



LET'S DANCE, DANCERS!

2-step Darkness
Since it is possible to solo a Distortion skillchain with Exenterator, through the use of Sekkanoki or other means, it is possible to close Darkness off of this due to Evisceration's Gravitation property.

Darkness - (Water/Dark/Earth/Ice)
Exenterator > Phyrric Kleos > Evisceration
Exenterator > Rudra's Storm > Evisceration

Thanks to Thoraeon for making the original list.

Also just as an FYI, Wild Flourish --> Exenterator makes Scission.

why are there two threads

One for dancer and one for thief.

thanks

the dancer thread is full of nothing, because we've all been clogging up the thf thread with our sassy selves

Btw Sylow i did some test in Dyna Tav. And i think ur right, I'm convinced there's an acc penalty to this ws now or maybe just cause its AGI based.. WS dramatically went up with anguinus, 1.5-2k according to kparser. And just for giggles, i replaced mantis eye for thew and it was even more consistent. didnt hit as high with mantis but def was better.



Using Lithe Boots and Mantis atm. Id prolly go back to Thew once i upgrade +2 etoile feet.

You all make me feel so lazy, I just use whatever I had lying around for Exenterator, LOL.

I'll build a set, eventually, I've just been busy doing other stuff.

for DNC, AGI composed up to 75% of your base damage for Exenteator (more if you add atma like GH). I think Striking and Ternary flourish finally have some real use, boosting your damage by 40~60%.

Considering that you already have a high DA/TA rate in Abyssea, Striking or Ternary Flourish would do less than that and compete with Reverse Flourish.

I am looking forward to unlocking this WS though. I've been too busy makin' gil!

Just played with this WS after finishing 3 merit session tonight.

Anyway, I concur with your observation that there might be some acc penalty on this WS. I used 3 normal atma in Abyssea (AoA/RR/GH), normally evis would score a lot more than normal 5-6 hit (TP return 15+), but for Exenterator, I see a lot of 13 TP return.

Target mob was the mini sandworms in A Tahrongi. They rather have higher def than most mob.
Damage can be boosted to 2.6~2.7k with Building Flourish (sometimes can go up to 3~3.4k if the multi hit procs). I guess this is the most practical WS boost we can have for Exenterator. You can also stack it with striking flourish for extra crit chance from your charis tiara +1/+2

So with the +17% AGI per merit 1/5 it's 17% and 5/5 it would be 85%, correct? Or does it add 17% of the remaining %?

I believe the new WSs have a 100% stat mod if they are 5/5.

So how should a DNC gear atmas in abyssea, and which WSs (without Rudra's) should be utilized? I have Pyrrhic Kleos + Evisceration for Dark SC. Working on Exenterator atm, not sure if it is more worth it in Aby than other WSs are?

17*5=100?

SE dont know how their own game works.
It's 20% each level.

Oh ok lol

In Abyssea?

RR, GH, (SS or Apoc)
Spam Evisceration

Cool thanks :D

Yeah, Exenterator is what you'll turn to outside. It's absolutely fantastic outside.

Just tried RR GH and SS and it works really well. The GH let's you throw a decent Exenterator or two every now and then for when you get bored of Evis, or with a Sekka > self SC

Sylow saw ur post about BF in the thf forums. anyhow u mentioned there about BF and eXEN. so ur basically doing BF+exen and CF+rudras? as dnc/war?

In voidwatch, I use BF when available. I don't use it in Dynamis or whatever else with not enough defense that BF will matter.

After a bit (quite a bit) of drinking tonight I decided to make a set of all +AGI gear for DNC that was currently on the AH. Mostly aimed at people who aren't fortunate/able/willing to go get rare/ex drops, and would rather buy gear and/or if you're working for one piece, "stand-in" pieces for that specific piece. If I'm not mistaken, should be 74 72 (I was mistaken) agi right here.

Note: This is not my final "goal" WS gear set, just an idea of optimal AH able (that I could find, I am aware this webistes' archive is not 100% current which is completely understandable) AGI gear for DNC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance

Sorry for covering myself in basically saying "probably not my best work, I'm kind of drunk" and giving warning. I'll just make stuff up and say it's 100% true next time.

Optimal AH AGI gear maybe, but nowhere close to optimal AH WS gear.

Agreed, I was just putting this up for both myself and others that perhaps have a slot of gear that's neither being used to help AGI or WS very much.
