For best tp I Would choose to use kokugetsu feet with haste +2-3 augment. Mainly because 2% more haste in an environment where you have other sources of haste or are trying for your quickest tp is very important. The reason I say 2% is because haste cap is not 25% but a fraction over thereof. I'd save the scarpe for ws, unless your accuracy is horrible in which case your whole set may need to be looked into, or your skills, or food choice. >.>

Also cavaros isn't meant for tping, try going with karagoz just to help you up hitrate.

Use pantin and call it a day. Unless your automaton is in storm body in which case go ahead and throw on a vel.

Ranged: From a damage perspective, Deluxe Animator is slightly better than +1 with 2 more DEX.

Neck: Be aware that Faith Torque might retake the spot at level 95 if the extra H2H skill causes an increase to base damage.

Ear: Other than a slight misprint on Moonshade (it's Atk+4, not 3), this is correct.

Back: As mentioned, Pantin Cape wins with a melee puppet. Otherwise, Vellaunus. Even with crit atma inside Abyssea, Vellaunus should win unless you're capping attack (say, COR buffs, food, and Berserk up). And since I love taking opportunities to badmouth Karagoz ;) It is literally as good as having nothing at all on your back if you're capping accuracy, and there's a good chance you are on anything other than Voidwatch as of today.

Feet: Usukane may be ideal here with Twilight and all other Cirque +2 pieces, the 2% haste bringing you to true capped haste while also giving Atk/Acc/StoreTP+7. Probably a pretty close call whether that beats out a higher proc rate of the Cirque+2 set bonus.

I'll try some math... let me know if I F up somewhere.

Assuming hand-to-hand base damage is (Skill x 0.11) + 3

Capped skill (341) + Cirque hat (5) = 346 x 0.11 -> 38.06 base damage so 41
Capped skill (341) + Cirque hat (5) + Faith Torque (7) = 353 x 0.11 -> 38.83 base damage so 41

Capped skill (341) + Cirque hat (5) + merits (16) = 362 x 0.11 -> 39.82 base damage so 42
Capped skill (341) + Cirque hat (5) + merits (16) + Faith Torque (7)= 369 x 0.11 -> 40.59 base damage so 43

So yeah. They do increase base damage right now -if you have merits- which you should if you're worried about capping damage.

Now I'm going to look at Verethragna, because more people have them than Kenkonken, and because I don't know the actual martial arts -delay of the 90s.

So...
Capped skill (341) + Cirque hat (5) + merits (16) = 42 Base + 35 = 77 Damage

Wearing the Cirque +2 legs gives -10 delay, and since not using faith torque, -10 for cirque necklace as well so 320 base + 51 delay = 371 delay

So DPS is multiplied by two because of two fists, and is = [77/(371/60)]x2= 24.91 DPS

------------------------------------

Capped skill (341) + Cirque hat (5) + merits (16) + Faith Torque (7)= 43 base + 35 = 78 damage

Wearing the Cirque +2 legs gives -10 delay, and since using faith torque no -10 for cirque necklace 330 base + 51 delay = 381 delay

So DPS is multiplied by two because of two fists, and is = [78/(381/60)]x2= 24.57 DPS




So as far as verethragna goes, faith raises your base damage Cirque necklace should still win for DPS as far as TPing goes. And you can throw on faith/sea gorget/whatever for WS.

Tiercel necklace is a neck option too, depending on if you're using full Cirque for the set bonus or not as well. Tiercel would probably beat it too, or come close, but I don't really feel like doing the math for that.

I think I did that math right... if I didn't, someone correct me please

Yes, thanks Annalise. Math looks correct to me too. Please ignore the confusion I added :)

*drool* Damn you, Alexandrite requirement, why you gotta discourage me so much from building Kenkonken!?

Yeah, and even the Agasaya's (which is put behind Faith) is ahead in terms of overall DPS in Kinematic's spreadsheet calculator. It is why I never bothered getting the necklace.

EDIT: What I TP in by the way for reference.

Str +2 magian Animator +1
AF3 head +2
AF3 body +2
AF2+1 hands (until I +2 the af3 hands)
AF3+2 legs
Enkidu feet
Keen/Rajas since I have not put time in Rani
Twilight belt
Aesir/Brutal
PCC (/nostalgic, but needs to gtfo for the Faith)
Pantin Cape (which IIRC came out a tiny bit ahead of cavaros inside abyssea)

Besides replacing the neck and +2ing my AF3 hands, that is all fine with me right there since any more and I start becoming a perfectionist.

Wow, I said animator +2 and had to edit it out, watch out!

Edited, Aug 23rd 2011 2:37pm by BelenosSwiftWater

He means 2 different items :P

Main: STR Taipan+2
Ranged: Animator +1

He just didn't hit Enter, or something

Thanks for the maff Dfoley! It never occurred to me that it would be good to melee with the collar on for TP phase, Ill have to try that! been kinda blindly using cirque necklace all this time. I wonder what 99 h2h for pup will cap at and if it would make bruiser's obsolete. Thanks again as always :)
