Idoneal -> Slaughter attained thru quests and solo dungeons.
Slaughter -> Guile attained thru LKNM and other 3-star dungeons.
Pieces to +12 in order of importance: 1.) Weapon, 2.) Gloves, then everything else...and even that is optional if you're planning to replace Slaughter/Guile quickly.
Slightly above Guile: Imperator+15 (Note: do not get Imperator if you do not plan to +15 it.)
Best in slot: Ambush
Imperator and Ambush are attained by running 4- and 5-star dungeons.
So Slaughter is basically the 2nd best gear?
Imperator is VM I assume?
are they bringing out any new gear any time soon?
Ambush?
Imperator is VM7 from last patch.
Guile is the current mid-tier and given to a decent player, can clear any of the dungeons right now. (But perhaps not in a timely manner for some people.)
Slaughter is just a starting point.
Slaughter+12 < Imperator+12 <= Guile+12 < Imperator+15 <= Ambush+12 < Ambush+15
Guile and Ambush debuted only about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
A small upgrade to Ambush will be coming in about a month.
and does the yellow charge on Cyclone (zerk) still KD?
Ahh.. you got me on that one. I don't know.
1, Guile set does about 1 times more dps than Slaughter.
2. +13 Imp is about same as +12 Guile set
2. +15 Imp & imp glove does 1.5~2 times more dps than Guile.
3. +13 Ambush is about same as +15 Imp - This part is different than last season. Ambush is way too strong.
4. +15 Amb is about same as +13~+13.5 Imp.
5. Ancient dragon is 2.5% strong than Ambush.
+15 ambush does alot more dps than Guile. 2~2.5 times more dps than Guile.
As you can see, Imperator +15 is like 9,5% better than Guile +12 (there's the extra line too), Ambush +15 is a big 7,5% better than imp +15, if we keep in mind the VM 8.5 upgrade coming later this month, this gap will be a significant 10,25%.
Keep in mind that IMP +15 was only 4,5% better than SF +15 last patch. We got VM7 gear on May 17. That was~7 months till VM8.5 (10,25% better than imp +15)
VM6 on the other other hand we got on Dec 8 and it was "obsolete" (still equal to Guile +12, consider the 6.9% back line) by Spellbound patch on Oct 25. That's was almost 1 year lifespan. Imp +15 is like 9~10% better than SF+15 now??
I think most ppl here upgrade gear when the gap is like 10% or higher. As a example, that P2W dragon boost dps on ~3% i guess...
So, BIS gear last only a little more than 6 months now. In fact, the previous BIS gear at +15 is much more like a mid tier set now, like SL+12 and Schisma +12 was on the past patches :surprised:
We also should keep in mind that the +15 awakening system is still the same uncapped trash. We can still fail 200x to be stuck on +12, but now we do this for something that can be worse or a little better than the next mid-tier gear :P
And there's clueless ppl that think VM8 will last longer just cuz of the VM8.5 upgrade. Nope, i know BHS very well, they can as well recycle some jpeg/3D models and update some variables (the only thing they are good at..) and release VM9 tomorrow that's better than VM8.5 +15 at +12 and call it "new content" :chuffed:
2nd best gear is imperator
i think slaugther is fifth
and 3rd is Guile out of all the sets at max + with -10.25% dmg/stats in comparison to the actual max gear... Im gonna maths this real quick and let you know the %, 1 moment :')
so ambush is 2.4% better while they are both at 0 then it increses by about 0.8%(+0.2% each lvl)? sorry for the maths xD just rushed it really fast. just getting guesses here that are pretty close i hope... doubt it. and also the rerollable stats would also some into play as well
i dont know in which position is conflate
dps done on boss.
1. +15 imp = 50%, +12 Guile = 25%, Guile lancer= 17%. +12 Slaughter= 12%.
2. +15 imp = 33%, +15 imp =33%, +15 imp lancer =20, +12 Guile dps = 14%
3. +15 amb = 40%, +15 imp= 30%, +15 imp lancer =18%, +12 Guile dps = 12%
No just [filtered] and get carried straight to Ambush.
As said earlier Ambush DPS kill boss way too fast and like every hard mode patch party can carry 1-2 dps per run.
If that's not an option your guild too elitist and you're screwed.
It really isn't worth it as a f2p player to +15 gear and waste all resources.
Also, tht dps for Lancer distribution is wrong as it implies Guile = Imp which is.......wrong?
Guile users typically have have atk spd instead of 9.5% and zero etchings.
Imp have 20% and 6~8 additional atk speed + cdr because of etchings
1 clearly better than other by a margin and the only way the typical Lancer will reach 20% overall damage is double heals or Mystic + Warrior
