  • weaponry question 19-34

    I have fully leveled war/mnk/nin subjobs.

    1) Is dagger skill up critical to the point where I need Federation Knife to keep it up or can I get away with parry knife? 30k versus virtually nothing. I need to skill up dagger during my visit to yhoator so yes, dagger is a requirement.

    2) Now that I'm almost out of valkurm, should I keep /mnk or would transitioning to nin sub with a sword/dagger combo be more damaging?

    3) Is the upgrade to lynx worth losing 2 dex? I have both already.

    4) I should use sword and dagger when subbing NIN I suppose, is this theory correct?

    5) Would you consider the 16 damage on the +1 version to be more desirable than the 15 damage on the Fire Sword to be a significant increase in damage versus Strikes /mnk sub?

    I guess I will explain myself on these questions. Eventually, THF cap for H2H will become so low that I will be losing out on TP gain from their very use in exp parties, especially now that I'm not singling out "bones"

    6) at 30, I am thinking about just using a merc captain kukri along with /war sub to save money on buying a secondary merc captain kukri, is this wise?

    7) Would +2 dex on small sword make a real big difference in sneak damage, would +4 dex from 2 small swords make such a difference?

    8) I would like to avoid using the mithran scimitar if possible, after all it's quite comparable to the small sword, can I get away without using a mithran scimitar?

    9) Progression plan so far Fire sword to Gladius to Strider, ok or unsatisfactory, as far as swords go?

    10) Progression plan so far Strike Bags to Lynx to Impact Knuckles - will that last? Or is strikes all the way through better?

    1) I personally used a parrying knife as it doesn't matter what kind of dagger you use, they all skill up equally.

    2) I subbed ninja for the sword/dagger combo, faster TP so you can pull off SA+Fast Blade faster.

    3) I never used lynx banghkas (sp?)

    4) Until you hit 33, yes.

    5) In my opinion with 1 more damage you won't see much of a difference, but like I said, I'd use the sword/dagger combo for lower delay and faster TP.

    6) Just sub ninja and use the sword/dagger combo until you're 33, then buy another Merc. Kukri for the added accuracy and lower delay.

    7) I used a Mithran scimitar for the +3 dex and didn't notice much of a difference in SA damage, I wouldn't suggest dual weilding swords though. Higher delay time and lower skill cap.

    8) Yes you can get away without using Mithran scimitar.

    9) I used a Fire sword and then a Gladius, never used a Strider sword ^^

    10) I personally never used Hand-to-hand weapons much after level 25, it didn't seem like the damage of a SA+Combo compared to a SA+Fastblade was that much different and with using hand-to-hand when you miss it sucks because you have to wait forever for your next attack.

    I hope this helps.

      Awesome, this thread was what I was actually about to ask.
      Personal Setup:
      Cmpd Eye circlet
      Beetle Harness
      Ryl Ftm Clogs
      about to get Republican Subligar (though I despise how it looks on male humes)
      battle gloves
      fire sword (switching to gladiator at lvl 27)
      decurion dagger (about to get federation knife)
      balance ring x2
      spike necklace
      mohagony shield

      only questions left were what earrings do i need (only ones i can get thus far seem to be for not takingas much elemental dmg etc)
      isthe cmpd eye circlet still good, and are my battle gloves still the thing to have?
      I RNG 75 I WAR 37 I NIN 38 I SAM 50 I Woodworking 92+2

        I use Shield Earrings (Lv20 HP+10 MP-10). Some people seem to prefer Beetle Earrings+1 (Lv21 Attack+3 Evasion-2) but I don't like the decrease in evasion. Pretty much just get whatever for THF until Lv29-30 when you can get Genin Earring(if /NIN sub) and/or Dodge Earrings. Not much choices for ears at lower level, though.

          What good will evasion do when you're never hit?
          Beetle +1 is the best stuff you can wear at that level. At 34 you should buy Drones to equip whenever you do SATA.

            Me and the thread starter are both below level 30. I don't know about the original poster, but I personally get hit a lot after getting a couple of SA's off at the beginning of the battle. It's nice to have evasion maxed out so that you don't get slaughtered because somebody is being a little slow to provoke/cure to get hate back. It is also an advantage when pulling.

              to be quite honest, I ditched hand to hand, and bought a mithran scimitar. at 29 it's such that I need to utsu to handle the agro I get from every tank.
