dex rings Follow

The only ring with DEX you should even be considering is Rajas Ring. Honestly, the increase in crit % is negligible and is dependant on what you're fighting anyway.

Stick with the Sniper's.

Sure no worries.

Best of luck with your WARing!

Dont be hating on my Iota Ring :(

I also Pair it with Hollow Earring giving me 6 accuracy 5 DEX

Would you wear a ring with 6 acc? : Why not.
Would you wear a earring with 5 DEX?: Sure as hell would :O

My content IDs are cancelled so I dont remember exactly but my TP build did have around 40 DEX or so. The crit rate is nice on birds but hell on tougher sh*t its not too notice-able.

You could buy some cheap +4dex rings and hope to get acc on it from elite training.

Because everyone can afford Toreaders :)

(Aimed at Redshift)

I'd use DEX +5 rings over ACC +5 rings on a 2h job if I were sitting at 40-ish DEX over the mob's AGI. I'd definitely take 10%-ish more crits over 3 ACC.

it's believed (with quite fat evidence to back it up) that when the delta-DEX(the difference between your DEX minus Mob AGI) is 50+ your critical hit reach the cap(proved to be 20%)

The thing is that critical hit rate progression works oddly, it is neither an straight or an exponential curve, as far as the current test goes it will grow from 5% to 10% from delta-DEX = 1 to delta-DEX =40 (from here the legendary +8 DEX ~= +1% Critical hit)

However from delta-DEX=41 until delta-DEX=50 the ratio change dramatically, becoming +1% Critical for each DEX point, from there the statement in Caesura's post.

Many jobs and job/race combos can not reach delta-DEX over 40 w/o losing more than winning in the trade for a heavy DEX build, however for Thf's and Nin's (particularly Mithras) there are certain merits camps where these builds may work.

I hope it helps.

That's the best explanation I've ever seen for it. Green arrow for you~

Cae, I believe that scenario is quite hard to reach.

Greater Colibries have 67 AGI(both versions lvl 81 and 82) and Hume samurai at 75 has 69 Dex(Same as war)

To reach the 40+ sweet spot you need at least +39 Dex

Askar Head: +4
Askar Hands: +5
Byakko: +15
Hauby +1: +6
Rajas: +5
Chuchulain: +4

Total: 39, to get just delta-DEX = 41, changing your second ring for a Dex +5 will get you to 46 which is actually a desired scenario, however we can't say that Hauby +1 and Chuchulain are common items, for that matter many guys are still missing byakko, but thank you for the info regardless, I never considered reach the sweet critic +% with War before.

Sincerely.

Ken.

Skar, would you mind posting your entire gear set so I can check something? (Specifically, I think your gear is a little too heavy on accuracy at the expense of both attack and haste, but I'm not absolutely certain.)

Also, is EBody somewhere in your immediate future?

Thank you for the correction Saev, I wasn't aware about the first 20 points of delta-Dex(to be honest my fault I read about that long time ago should have kept up to date)

The think with adaberk Wars using a Dex build is the over cap in accuracy, unless you are dual-wielding the equipment you posted is far beyond the accuracy cap for colibries and a bit above mamool camp standard, not to mention that aggressor would be just a flashy icon in your screen since it will do almost nothing for your with that kind of set up.

Sadly(or fortunately depends on how you look at it) we War's have an important inconsistency with our accuracy, as your gear get better(like those able to reach 40+ values of delta-Dex) is more important to think about aggresor down/up sets to get the best of your gear, if you don't all your hard earned gear is doing much less than it could do for you.

Sincerely.

Ken.

Not at the moment on Ebody, I'm enlisting in the military so my playtime is suspended for awhile. I was doing Einherjar hard core but it never really worked out. Even though I play RNG and DRG alot mostly DRG at birds. I find this gear set on WAR useful for Mamools and higher end game mobs.

Most of my Acc/Dex is also coupled in with my Haste Items except for the Rings.

TP Build
Perdu Voulge/Pole(Will go to Rose Strap for /SAM) Bomb Core
Askar Head, Chiv Chain, Brutal Earring, Hollow Earring
Hauberk+1, Askar Hands, Rajas Ring, Iota Ring
Foragers Mantle, Swift Belt, Byakko's Haidate, Aurum Sabatons.

So 17% haste.
STR: +21
DEX: +43
Attack:49
Accuracy:+36

Aside from the secondary Earring/Ring Choice its a common build over all. Though I do carry my Turban/Dusk Gloves for Soul Voiced Zergs.
