Chaos Burgeonet vs CelataFollow

guilly's output is more dependant on actually landing 4/4 hits than any amount of str you can stack on it at your level. i'd use the celata when you're using guilly unbuffed, and the burgeonet when using souleater (if you're using SE with WS at all, which is either a good idea or a really really bad one depending on situation).

if your sig is correct and you're a 68 drk you have major gear upgrades soon; o hat will be your standard WS headpiece for guillotine for some time to come (low eva situations/feint nonwithstanding). to maximize your drk you'll need several guillotine setups; this isn't sam where we can just throw str on and call it a day. check the sticky on the 'read this if you're 75' and there's a breakdown of what acc totals you'll need at what merit camp, and how to find your total accuracy, etc.

Celata is 3acc/4atk (not 2/4)

Ohat is definitely superior to Chaos on anything where acc isn't capped since 4 str is going to add some double digit amount of damage, whereas missing a hit is a 25% decrease in damage. Given your other listed gear accuracy will probably be a problem.

Also once you hit 70+ there are a lot more important gear options so I'ld aim to upgrade your weapon when you can because the difference in base damage will easily negate any amount of str you add to a lower damage scythe (Vas's 84 vs. Ven 97). Unless you happen to do a lot of colibri level sync Vassago's Scythe is the first thing to upgrade since 13 base damage will do much more for Guil than 4 str.

That's perfectly fine since the Nuevo is really only meh (especially for drk). At least that's what I think about.

there aren't many options till 70+; level up and get there!

use the acc formula and/or the calculator in the sticky to find out what your accuracy will be on a given camp/mob. it's pretty accurate with my own parsed data. it'll at least give you an idea of what to shoot for/where to adjust.

I do use Sushi if I'm not doing Colibri...

I know I'm not supposed to get hate but I tend to lol...

I don't like to use 3hr food. I'm not always able to be in a pt that long.

That's just it, I never know how long I'll be online. I don't pt unless I know I have at least an hour.

I have just gone out and killed a lesser colbri to get rid of food in the past lol

a standard 21 stp setup is still a 6 hit with molly under any circumstance other than starting with 0 tp, no med/abstp, or bolo'ing multiple hits on guillotine.

agreed that this probably isn't your 'starter' scythe due to the pricetag if you can't find some friends to help kill/camp or lack the jobs to solo the NM's, just emphasizing that a 6 hit isn't any harder to get with this than a 528 delay scythe. it's still the best level 70 scythe by a country mile.

You have enough to purchase Foragers and Moliones, that's like 1mil gil.

You could.. not purchase Foragers or Moliones, and use Tredecim and Amemet+1 for basically the same benefit and eat good food.

You'd be benefiting more by eating Marinara for like, what, 60~ att? Than the 5str and slight dot bonus from the above two pieces. Also being rich kind of implies that you worked for it, nobody just starts with money. Doesn't matter how much effort you put into the gil, 1 gil is 1 gil and buying good food will give you the most use out of that 1gil.

i think you're grossly missing the point.

Actually the Fourth Zaghnal may be better than Molions.

Same DMG as Vassaggo's but better delay and acc+7 I'll be checking this out.

Checking it out doesn't mean I'm going to buy it. I may buy it until I get Moliones.

I said "may" not "is" as far as ACC build its a good scythe.

and I said "not even close" as in "'may' is a vast over exaggeration of this scythe's relative worth"

Fourth Zag is for abusing Level Sync leaving the damage high while getting the delay as low as possible, plus accuracy syncs better too. Can do the same with Ferrara when sync'd to low levels - has the same damage of the highest NQ for the level but retains the crazy low delay.
