What Is The Best For WAR?

What is the best gear, weapon, food to use, what is the ideal STR/VIT cap?

If you have access to Darklight the overall best WAR set would look something like this.

Head: Darklight Helm
Body: Darklight Cuirass
Hands: Felt Bracers (Double Acc Meld)/STR or Attack Hands if you are Capped on ACC, attack would depend if you are hitting the STR cap or not.
Legs: Felt Trousers (Double STR/VIT)
Feet: Darklight Sollerets
Neck: Explorer's Choker
Earring: Explorer's
Rings: +18 STR or ACC rings depending on the situation.
Waist: Uldah sash or Explorer's.
Wrist: Rubelite +1

Weapon Ranking will look something like this: Bravura >>> Garuda's >>> Lominsan/Gridanian Officer >>> Mog Axe >>> Uldah Officer/Skirmish >>> Everything else.

Like what is the str/VIT, acc cap, is it like 320/310 400acc?

Why is Garuda axe better then the rest? It's weaker but all I can see is its faster and you will do more dmg in the long run if I'm thinking right?

The DMG on the weapon only does the auto attack damage, all weapon skill damage is calculated using the DPS shown on the weapon. War will get most of it's damage out of weapon skills so the DPS is more important, since war is best used for multiple mobs that pumps the WS damage even higher due to your WS hitting several mobs at once.

Using garuda's I think your caps are around 356 str 312 vit, how much acc you need will be different depending on what your are fighting so can't give a straight answer for that.

Oh I didn't know the DPS counted towards the WS DMG...learn something new every day

Doesn't just count towards it, it is the WS damage. The only way the weapons base damage affects it is that it is that the DPS number is calculated by dmg/delay. Aside from that it has no influence.

The reason SE worked it that way was so that certin weapon types would never vastly overpower other weapons.

Bravura >>> Garuda's >>> Lominsan/Gridanian Officer >>> Mog Axe >>> Uldah Officer/Skirmish >>> Everything else.

Bold > Ifrit's?

Actually, all that > Ifrit's?

Edit: hahaha I saw the date of the last post as 9-05. Didn't notice that it was 9-05 of last year >.>

More or less along the lines of

Bravura ~ Allagan > Titan~Moogle~Garuda > Ifrit > GC ones

Thanks

Edit: Nvm had to look up Allagan.

Titan, Moogle and Garuda are all really close, if you have one of those I already wouldn't actively pursue either of the others.
