White damage would naturally be higher as /war. Fencer build and war sub is slightly higher crit rate and attack (with trait and Aspis) and between the two melee sets you have 7% TA, 34% DA (including sub) on all on your Axe MH as /WAR vs nearly no multiattacks from your main hand as /nin and a lot of very weak swings with an offhand Kraken Club. Your effective TP is also 400 difference of 2000 with kraken club vs 2400 single wielding.

Seems right to me?

Some numbers as promised:

Target - Locus Ghost Crab Bibiki Bay. ML30-ish.

Bst/nin with Farsha R15, kclub offhand:




Bst/war with Farsha R15, diamond aspis:



Both using Calamity at >= 1750 tp exclusively.

Bst/nin: 2064dps
Bst/war: 2690dps

Bst/war had ~24% higher dps.

Total time was a bit over 5hrs for both. Accuracy was at 91.62% for /nin, >97 for /war.

Buffs: HM, VM, madrigal x2, chaos roll, crooked corsair roll, dnc main haste samba. Rolls +8, all over 6. Songs +9.
Debuffs: dia2, distract. Sometimes presto box step, sometimes light shot dia2 - when they're up.

No AM3. No pet. No /war JAs. No pet buffs/debuffs.

Sets:

/war TP:

Gleti body R12, malignance 4/5. Gere/Moonlight rings, sherida/nukumi+2 earrings. Shulmanu collar, sailfi belt, dex+DA ambu cape.

/nin TP:
Gleti body R12, malignance 4/5. chirich+1 x2 rings, telos/nukumi+2 earrings. Combatant's torque, engraved belt, dex+StoreTP ambu cape.

WS for both:
Nyame R25-B x5, Oshasha's treatise, regal/cornelia rings, moonshade/nukumi+2 earrings. Republic plat. medal, sailfi belt, str+wsd cape.

The simulator shows 2241 and 2491 for the same sets for Bst/war and Bst/nin(kclub), the difference being the /war one was 20% white damage while the /nin one was 10% white damage.

This on the bg-wiki targets, similar buffs.

What Buuki said basically.

But why no AM3?

For Calamity spam only, no Farsha and subbing nin, I'd try using Tri-Edge/Ikenga (you have +1000 TP right there) and a multi attack tp build if you have one.
Im curious to see if it outperforms Axe/Kc.

Any particular reason why you didn't use KI?

Bare minimum totally legit settings. Doesn't matter when you're five levels deep in inception.

What's the best shield to go with when /war?
Bst hasn't got offensive shields, does it?
I mean, the only one i can think of is the Thorfinn shield but...yeah

If no bonanza shield you have amazing picks like the unity shields, and adapa or sacro bulwark. Amazing choices really

Try running /nin back with a 119 offhand instead of having to heavily overcompensate accuracy to make the KC only whiff ~18% of the time instead of the expected 5%, which you can replace with more multiattack and storeTP equipment and get that white damage up while not really sacrificing WS frequency?
