Exactly. All the acc rings that are above +5 are really expensive.

Well I don't have an Iota Ring but I wouldn't say no to one. It's not that bad for two handers; better than Snipers, just not as good as Toreadors. Since a Toreadors is ~3m, this is a nice, free alternative. It's only a little less accuracy.

It's probably not as efficient a use of Ichor as, say, a Morgana's Choker or Aslan Cape for your RDM, but if you haven't got anything else to spend the Ichor on, then Iota's okay imo. I don't know why anyone would call it crap - that it certainly is not.

I was just looking through the Ichor items and thought the same thing.

Morgana's, Aslan, Ritter Gorget. After that it's just 'which item do I want to blow my ichor on now?'. I'm sure I'll end up with them all eventually anyway.

uh? A woodsman ring is 50k which is 4000000x easier/faster to get than 15k Ichor for Iota, I can't buy a swift belt. Your argument is completely flawled. You're going out of your way to DOWNGRADE an item. I'm already aware iota is fine for 2h, I was talking about 1h jobs using Iota.

Go to AH, spend 50k, save your 15k ichor if you're a 1h job.

Iota is an excellent ring for certain jobs. I macro it in for Raging Rush (I tp in Rajas and Blitz). It's definately better than your standard 5 accuracy rings for 2 handers, and even for 1 handers provided you have enough dex. As for all the talk about it being difficult to get.... i'm not sure where that's coming from. Even if your linkshell doesn't do Einherjar I'm POSITIVE another LS would let you tag along for ampoules and help out if they have open slots (most do, since you can take 36 people in). Anyways, it's worth getting based simply on the fact that it's FREE. Good luck and hope u get what u want!

Yes, I'm a bad player because I'm 0/4 on the belt dropping.

Go clone yourself, so you can go *** yourself.

Sadly I agree, 0/6 on Swift. Just waiting 'til the June update for CoP area cap to disappear at this point so I can spend a day spamming it.
*Let the rate downs begin!*

I went 1/22 on Swift Belt, but it didn't stop me from going daily until I got it to drop, anyone one who steps down to getting that belt needs to have their POL account suspended until they learn from their poor choices.

As for Iota Ring, I never really liked it, I thought it was kind of a poor persons choice if they couldn't afford a sniper's ring, I do have one, I used to use it and I wasn't really impressed with it at all, now I'm debating weather or not to throw it in my Blade: Jin macro or not.

It does seem defensive when someone only made a comment about your gear similar to the comment you made about other gear, and you respond with demands about cloning and self-***. Just saying.

No, but seriously, that was a bit harsh of a statement given you don't have 'the norm' for gear.

Indeed way too much whooshing. Especailly since I think there isn't an item I own that is as bad as headlong belt lol. Then again coming from someone who thinks headlong is good and Iota bad can't really expect her to know what good gear is. Then again seeing as you can't even seem to get a swift belt which any bst can duo/solo I guess homam is so far beyond you that you have no clue how to compare it to your lol gear

It turns out if you do einharjar ichor is actually 1billion times easier to get. You just have extra. Iota is better than woodsman period. No -stats. About the same acc. Increased crit hits. Possible stat mods. And I've seen shouts of people mercing swift belt for 100k last time I saw one. I've even seen one for 500k where they provided the pop items and the person with hate until it dropped for you. As far as acc ring you could just spend your extra ichor and have a ring for all your jobs. Oh and ya know something that is way superiour for any job that has multi hit ws that has agi dex or vit mods. Or thf just because of SA ws.

You guys do know dex for crit works on tiers right? So if the 3 dex doesnt break a tier for you, your crit hit rate will not go up.

And jesus chirst, its a damn headlong belt. Its not like shes using a Warwolf belt or something in her TP set.

Or should we get on everyone that uses a swift belt cause V belt is better?

Or hell, even if you have a V belt, you're gimp cause N sash is better.

Inb4 "LULZ BUT SWIFT IS EASIER TO GET!" Since you can control drop rates. >_>

10 acc 10 attk mirke? really? I guess 3% dw is worse than 10 attk brb tping in okotes over dusk gloves!

http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=117585

You have literally ZERO IDEA how macc/int/ele skill works. Just quit talking, stop thinking, quit playing, and sell your account to some RMT, he'll put it to better use.

@Airbag, Really? You think with your ONE level 75 job, which isn't even very well geared at all, gives you the right to even THINK about commenting on a headlong belt vs swift, let alone say it? Seriously?
How are those 2 int boots going? Assaults too difficult to do for a 100% DROP RATE(buyable) item that's better than everything besides 5/5 morrigans? 4 int ring instead of a 5? You have no room to talk, so don't even reply to me, actually, don't even post on these forums again.

Also, with the level cap increasing Fairly shortly (About two months) it's very dangerous to invest in expensive AH gear right now. There's no telling what (If anything) will come out that will make things like Sniper's/Woodsman's/Toreador's Crash, and it's not an unprecedented event for that to happen, just ask any Leathercrafter. (Pre 2007)

Accuracy is also one of the most misunderstood statistics, it is either the most important to melee, or the most worthless. So it really depends on what you do, what you need, and many other factors.

And just because I want to be part of the baseless elitist flamewar.

MARS'S RING OR GTFO THX LOL U SUK.

Hasn't even been found yet I think. As if VNM wasn't bad enough with the upwards of 100 kills just to evolve a clear to a colorful, let's *** it up more by making rings 5%. AWESOME!

Why would you call some on a Bad player if they use this ring. Especially if they are using for a TP ring the dex will give another crit usually every TP build round. Plus the +1 acc ring are astronomically priced. It's not a WS piece except for a couple jobs pending your set up. My point is that this a decent challenge to tough TP ring build ring for the normal players. I have one and use it on DRK for my TP build and enjoy the extra stats over a Woodsman Ring.

Interesting considering the fact that people specifically ask me to join them in doing stuff and always ask me how to do something even if it somethign I have never shown any experience doing. Every group I am currently a part of I was asked to join. While other members had to try and apply to get in. Theres a few more I could be doing that people have asked but yeah don't feel like it. Oddly enough I don't need to hear anything but what you typed here to know you are a horrible player

Oh no I'm missing 2 int on all my nukes greater than 51%. Whatever will I do about that 8-9 dmg per nuke!?! Oh wait I'm in the process of getting Lemegeton Medallion +1... apparently at least one ls over here can't find a crafter and what do you know I can.

See this just shows how HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE you are. You don't even consider the fact( or Idk just actually look at the item sets that you say you looked at) and see that I tp in 4% haste. To even further show your lack of reading skills the only way you could have seen that I have 10acc/att on it is to check my ws set... in which case the heca +1 hands should've been a big give away that it ain't a tp set. Heres a protip for you: 4% haste >>>>>>>>> 3% DW. 10att/acc>>> than anything but skadi for thf ws.

Now you just getting desperate and making stuff up without even given up made up proof/reasons. But really you are a sad sad troll. Either that or really have no idea what is going on. Not sure which would be better


While we are at gear then. Get some dusk +1 boots. They only like 3.5 mil. And if you want to QQ about money well theres a cuch mantle in there... rajas ring where? What why don't you have a love torque!?!

What no Novio earring!?! Relic belt etc? And good luck nuking anything hard in that setup lol. Seriously only +48 int and 25 skill and no macc except maybe MKE head on ice nukes and you still can only scrape together 12 MAB for dmg? Assuming you are hume that puts you at 125ish int and 297 skill if fully merited and only nuking ice without obi + whatever that head is giving you. Lulz if you do know how int/macc/skill works then you are purposefully gearing for resist which is even funnier. The funniest part is my rdm nuke set which isn't really used that much has like 10 more int, 4 more MAB, and while it has 5 less skill it has 11 more macc.

Hmm I have an Iota ring, my only 75 jobs are PLD + RDM.

While on PLD I like a Hercules' / Jelly Ring combo there will be that time when i'm against a magic casting mob and don't want to be using Jelly so I would switch to Iota.

But since I got Rajas it builds up the cobwebs.

Dasva, just stop. For some reason you have it in your head that SCH can't nuke at all.

Why do you have Valkyrie's Hat in your "max resist build" when BLM Relic hat is +10 Skill?

I think you are missing the point, if you are going to call people out over something like hedlong belt vs swift belt, then people will call you out if you are missing gear that is clearly better and not that hard to get.

Lol not at all. However I seriously doubt a sch with less macc int and MAB then my rdm can nuke that well.

Meh I like I taking more dmg. It was mostly to see how much macc instead of skill I could get.

And you are missing the entire point of this.
1: I wasn't the one to point out the headlong belt

2: The only reason anyone pointed out headlong belt on her is because she said "Iota ring is crap, whenever I see someone using it I know they're a bad player." No one was going omg headlong belt is so garbage don't wear it. They are just saying that someone who says something like that shouldn't be. The really funny part is my gear is overall way better than most and aside from af+1 and some magian weapons there is pretty much little room for improvment that is easy to get.

Way to not read the thread. And another one gets whooshed
