Pantin +2 enhancement effectsFollow

well you need a decent amount of forgotten items then 20k each in the zone with the item equiped to upgrade it.

Id bet most haven't unlocked the pup ones yet. I have the +2 gloves, but havent started to farm the exp for the upgrade since i usually go mnk.

Very good info thank you,

Feet for role-reversal actually look good then, use it often to get my pet ready for deactivate->activate.

Too bad the optimization from the hat doesn't work.. could use a pet MAB/MAC+ for the headslot.

The hands i'm not worried about, won't wear them unless it's automaton only fighting, even if fine-tuning does work, i rarely use only my automaton as DD.
Guess could be nice for the Sharpshot frame. Even though i don't know if +13 STR/DEX/AGI from af3+2 would be beaten.

Lastly i'm interested how ventriloquy could even be enhanced... Would it reduce (or increase) hate on both pet and master after use? Does it interfere with dues-ex->ventrilquy->gone from hate list?

well, the ultimate result is that if you want to store them, you have to augment them, because you can't use the storage slip until after they're augmented. Given that whatever the vent enhancement is, it'll be "increases based on # of merits), and vent will never leave 1/5, it's probably not worth bothering for the swap. Someone'll figure it out eventually when they're bored, but it's kind of like war relic feet, that only lessen the defense penalty on bersserk, and only while wearing the boots; utterly useless 99.5% of the time, barely helpful/situationally useful 0.5% of the time.

Fine-tuning or not, unless you're using stormwaker frame (regardless of which head), Pantin +2 will trounce Cirque +2, because of the pet: haste. 4% haste completely destroys 13 str/dex/agi. You take a tiny hit to your DD, since pantin+2 loses 6 str, 1 dex, and 6 store TP, but the extra haste for valoredge's dot or sharpshot's TP gain (mostly sharpshot's TP gain) more than makes up for that. The only thing that keeps them competitive is the set effect on cirque, which if you're in a situation where you're heavily leaning towards master DD, will push cirque ahead, but honestly, given how pet damage works vs high-def mobs (remember kirin? VE pretty much ignores level difference penalties), and how going from 4/5 of the set to 3/5 (if you're TPing in cirque scarpe, you're doin' it wrong, or you've got a bizarre TP set up that allows you to hit the gear haste cap w/o haste boots) of the set isn't a massive decrease, and is actually a small decrease to a small % anyway, so you don't lose much.



I'd really like to see a haste set that can reach the cap and still incorporate Pantin Gloves +2, Moepapa Stone, and Spurrer's Beret. The day we get that, we will have a delicious feast.
