How are the new skirmish h2h doing as far as dmg rating? Is there a specific aug that makes them beat oats?

Tati Earring +1 any good for VS set up? :3

On high level stuff the Tati +1 will beat Brutal, but unless you want to dish out a lot of gil or plasm or are in the fortunate position of owning one I'd stick to the Moonshade/Brutal combo.

It is really marginal.

Windbuffet Belt +1
Waist DEF:9 Accuracy+2 "Triple Attack"+2% "Quadruple Attack"+2%

From the VU. If it's like old WoE you are better off buying at the AH to save time...

Waiting to see what a new crit collar brings us.

Thank you very much sir! :)

Anyone gotten any decent augments on mnk cape?

You mean the Mecisto. Mantle? The JSE capes didn't get augments.... right?

Mecisto. Mantle has 50% capacity points augment on it though.

Apparently they can.

Random drops from incursion coffers.

That's one way to con people into doing incursion then... after all that time obtaining the base cape, a new version with augments!

And the obligatory 1% drop rate!

Well they have to do something. Went with the LS last night and wasn't impressed.

Anyone see any JSE Cape augments for MNK yet?

Plenty, but I tossed them all for having crap on it.

Haven't seen any MNK capes with augs other than STR/DEX/Subtle Blow. Pretty lame.

sets.engaged = {ammo="Ginsen",
head="Felistris Mask",neck="Asperity Necklace",ear1="Bladeborn Earring",ear2="Steelflash Earring",
body="Thaumas Coat", hands={ name="Otronif Gloves +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Magic dmg. taken -3%','"Dbl.Atk."+2',}},ring1="Rajas Ring",ring2="Epona's Ring",

sets.engaged.AM = set_combine(sets.engaged,{Body="Tantra Cyclas +2",
hands={ name="Otronif Gloves +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Crit.hit rate+2',}},
legs={ name="Otronif Brais +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Magic dmg. taken -2%','Crit.hit rate+2',}},
ear1="Brutal Earring",ear2="Tripudio Earring",feet="Otronif Boots +1", Waist="Cetl Belt"})

sets.engaged.AM.Impetus = set_combine(sets.engaged.AM,{Body="Tantra Cyclas +2",
hands={ name="Otronif Gloves +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Crit.hit rate+2',}},
legs={ name="Otronif Brais +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Magic dmg. taken -2%','Crit.hit rate+2',}},
back="Misuuchi Kappa",ear1="Brutal Earring",ear2="Tripudio Earring",feet="Otronif Boots +1", Waist="Cetl Belt"})

sets.engaged.Impetus = set_combine(sets.engaged, {Body="Tantra Cyclas +2",
hands={ name="Otronif Gloves +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Crit.hit rate+2',}},
legs={ name="Otronif Brais +1", augments={'Phys. dmg. taken -3%','Magic dmg. taken -2%','Crit.hit rate+2',}},
back="Misuuchi Kappa",ear1="Brutal Earring",ear2="Tripudio Earring",feet="Otronif Boots +1", Waist="Cetl Belt"})

It's a bit outdated but this should work.

Same here, the capes for most of the other jobs have some pretty fantastic augments, monk however seems very disappointing so far.

Looking for some acc advice on my TP, Mid Acc and Full Acc sets. Am I over or under-doing Acc?

Using Tinhaspa B, and Qaaxo A for Mid Acc and Qaaxo B for Full Acc.

TP: 842 Acc

ItemSet 328469

TP Mid Acc: 878 Acc

ItemSet 328470

TP Full Acc: 948 Acc

ItemSet 328471

I think your acc is a little high for mobs outside jeuno gates.......

What are you targets? What kind of food and party buffs?

Light end-game stuff essentially, AAs, Delve I and some Incursion.

Assume Impetus/Focus or Berserk/Aggressor is up and meat eaten.

For full acc build you could swap in Ighwa pants and Qaaxo feet(path B). You could also swap to acc rings (mar's/P. ring/blah blah), but you are better off dps wise with Epona's in one of the slots.

Qaaxo legs (path B r15) are another nice acc build choice. 1 less STR than Ighwa, but PDT-3%. I find that in most situations where I care about more gear Acc, PDT is a useful stat.

Patricius Ring for same reason, nice mix of Acc/PDT so I use that in place of Rajas for Acc build (Epona stays on at all times except for full DT set).

It's always a balance though, dropping Acc as much as you can while still retaining capped hit rate. One suggestion: if you're swapping out Acc gear, belt is one of the first slots I'd look to use Windbuffet+1 (or even NQ Windbuffet). For instance, above mid-Acc set drops Ej Necklace for Asperity, but keeps Anguinus Belt. Ej/Windbuffet+1 is a better combo and 2 more Acc (or same Acc for NQ Windbuffet).

Personally, I use the below as a high Acc set. If I reeeeeealy wanted every last bit of Acc, there are obviously other swaps (Anchoret's Mantle, Anguinus, 2x Acc rings), but generally that's not needed.
ItemSet 328495

Really though, for most content that's overkill. High level incursion, some evasive battlefield NMs (Gessho, AA MR), and some Delve 2.0 stuff are where you're gonna want a heavy acc build. Otherwise, I start from something like the below as my default and add acc where necessary:
ItemSet 324550

Thanks for this; it was exactly the short of advice I was looking for!

Glad it was helpful!

Another "priority" piece for me when I do need Acc is Whirlpool Mask. Just a massive amount of accuracy in one slot, and still retains other really good DD stats (a very solid STR+24 and Atk+25).

My personal rough order of swapping out non-acc gear for acc gear is:

*starting at don't need any acc" set*

1) whatever ammo -> Honed Tathlum (I don't have Ginsen, so that makes things easy for me :P)

2) Atheling -> Letalis Mantle

3) Felistris -> Whirlpool Mask

4) ??? -> Qaaxo B body (if I'm not using it anyway, I use it most times on MNK regardless unless it's really old content where Thaumas non-ilevel defense doesn't hurt)

5) Otronif+1 hands (mine are crit+2%) -> Hesy+1 hands

6) Hesy+1 legs & Anchorite+1 feet -> Qaaxo B legs/feet (I basically always do legs+feet as a set, since AF+Relic complement each other so much)

7) Asperity -> Ej

8) Rajas -> Patricius

I almost never need more Acc than that, but if I did I'd then look to Anguinus, Letalis->Anchoret, 2x Acc ring...

Before I dump sparks, anything better than 4/5 Wayfarer + Mes'yohi Slacks for MDT yet?

I would hope there are better options then this. As I have to assume there is much defense lost. Along with no mdt-. I use a mix of otronif with -3 mdt/pdt minimum where huge benefits like Mes'yohi can't be used.

I'm not really worried about losing defense for magical attacks, and I'm already capping MDT through accessories + Shellra V.
