Hey guys! What's the current status on top slot options?Follow

Nice, welcome back. :D Looks like you've got a great start on your gearsets already.

Idle Set:
The MDB+10 Guichard +3s are a solid addition to your axe repertoire. Go for it! You can augment Pet: M.Eva+5 on Suzaku's Sune-ate as well, if that is of interest to you for your MDB set. Looks like you've got Selemnus Belt already, very nice. Other pieces you could add to this idle set are Beast Bazubands, Ferine Earring, Oneiros Cappa, and Demonry Core. In instances where the pet is doing all the work, I wear Paguroidea Ring and Sheltered Ring as well. Or PDT/MDT Dark Rings. There are Angel Rings with Pet: Acc that you can get from the ACP final fight and other Pet earrings from the Fei'yin battle, too. For the feet slot you can use augmented Adaman/Armada Sollerets with Pet: Haste/DEF/Subtle Blow, or when required swap in Skadi's Jambeaux for movement speed.

Combat Set:
With regards to Oneiros Tathlum, using your current gear setup, Hagneia Stone pulls ahead. (Edit: EVEN if you had Madrigal to activate the attack bonus, Hagneia still wins.) Your DPS will take a massive leap if you can secure Epona's Ring and use Rajas Ring (maybe make up the lost haste % with Ocelemeh+1 headpiece, or use a haste body like Ferine Gausape +2). A lot of "optimal" sets are gonna vary based on what you're doing, but you have the right idea. When it's safe to do so, the Rancor Collar gives a very solid bonus over other choices. I see some BSTs wearing Houyi's Gorget, also.

WS Set:
It's a solid WS set already. You're already aware that some of the improvements here are quite expensive. Ferine Ocreae +2 will beat the Gaiters and if you can get an elemental belt, that'll win over Pipilaka. Also of note, Ferine Gausape +2 will beat Avant Mail when you have a killer effects advantage in certain situations, especially if Killer Instinct is in effect.

Reward Set:
Call me crazy, but I think you may have overshot the Reward Potency cap. I'm pretty sure you can sell off one of those Zoraal Ja axes once you have Monster Gaiters +2. Otherwise, this set is very similar to mine. I use Royal Army Mantle for the back slot, and I think there are some augmented backpieces from... I wanna say... the Moogle Kupo d'Etat fight? MND+3 was a possibility there. (Edit: Cortege Cape. Can get MND+4 on it.)

It's really easy to run into inventory issues with the min/maxing here. x_x Best of luck!



Yes, Ocelomeh Headpiece + Ocelomeh Harness will give higher overall DPS compared to your current set.
