Ok now I know im going to get scolded from somewhere, but honestly it wouldnt be the first time. I am wondering what builds everyone has and if they are succesful with this, I want to try it as a new way to build Amber and burn stuff. Thanks

I really didn't mean to be harsh. that's good info though, works great. I was pulling 2.5k cataclysms easy.

And, for Konschtat, go to the bugards at flux 8. There is a clinoid for azure and Garuda Nm for amber. T2 vnm also pops close by for pearl.

Pluto's Staff
MAB earrings (I use hecate's and Moldy)
I have MAB augmented demon's rings from tahrongi
Kirin's Osode or Usekane body
Denali Kecks

just stack MAB and INT where you can, /sam for sekka and meditate

use Cosmos, Smiting Blow and Ultimate (Replace Ultimate for other MAB atma if you have)

Atheling doesn't do anything for magical WS, and denali kecks might beat hachiryu too.

I forgot MNK can wear Denali. I'm kinda dozing off slowly. Couldn't find a good INT cape for MNK though so a STR one would have to do. Cerb+1 or alike.

Completely forgot to post all the mindless cataclysm spam I did after finishing, but this set came out the winner for pure damage. /War riding ISL with cosmos/smiting/ultimte, abusing mobs smacking for second ws is usually the way I go, never bother with /sam. Shadow belt was winning for second ws. Still 0 clue what to use as a back.

Obvious upgrades novio, hq belt, mab 3 rings, int/mab ring from yilbegan (possibly), arch dl ring, not 100% sure what else.

Augments are:
body eva/mab
legs pdt/mab
head int/mab

Head might have been better as the ws % damage but tbh, on drinks first takes just about any mob I played with for test to 20-25%, so its more than overkill on second ws.

To be honest, the STR from cerb wasnt even noticeable, and I completely abandoned using STR in any of the sets while playing around. I wish the ws could be pushed to a one-shot situation but wasting slots to carry all this gear, I still wind up 2 shotting things vs 2 to sometimes 3 shotting things in a lesser gear set. Cata kinda annoying on this aspect.

Broke 3800 on grauberg orbs with wizards roll.... very close to one shotting.... atleast lolspectators. Possibly with cor + smn favor could realistically 1 shot pulls, but this is going way too far in support imo.

Wow, well I don't use mnk for this Weapon skill.

Sch, All the way. Sch/whm.

You can dark weather, twilight cape and obi. I don't sub /sam, and I wouldn't use smiting blow. I use Sea daughter. I don't use temps, but use khilflare.

I can break 3k no problem with my 99 dark staff. The AoE sleep, and let sea daughter get to 100 TP to finish off the mob on the second round.

Realistically if you ont use the 99 dark staff, the +10 INT +20 MAb staff works well. Or the non trial staff lvl 75 +25 Mab, that has low base dmg. Base dmg means nothing though for magical weapon skills.

If you're Cataclysming on SCH, that's even MORE reason to use Chatoyant.
