Ok, so my quest has ended. I ot the scythe. But I am confused as the mods say int agi. Some people say don't follow mods, but just add str/dex.
Then others try telling me to buld for aftermath or haste to self SC.
And then what Atmas would you recomend in abby?
Thanks

How the hell do you get an Apoc and not know what to do with it or what the aftermath does?
Let's leave this be for now as a lesson in basic research...

I know the aftermath is haste.
But some non relic holders were saying stuff not posted on wiki.
As for gil. you can make 30m a week easily off crour :). helped finish stage 4-5 :)

Had to dig at you a little, cause that's exactly what your original post sounded like and I'm in a bit of a crappy mood. :)
Put 16% haste in your TP set, too often you'll start a fight with TP anyway for having a 25/26% haste set to matter.
DRK has a lot of STR+INT pieces, look into those for Cata. AGI is less viable.
Trying to dig up some sets from FFXIAH, but one of the apoc owners around here will probably cough some up.

INT and AGI are damage mods you can test it on low level mobs or in Abyssea where fSTR and XP will be capped on fodder in there.
Can check my FFXIAH for some sets.

I think UNC is just trolling the op troll. I don't think people who believe INT and other secondary mods only affect added effects really exist anymore. At least I like to dream they don't, or that they'd never get an Apoc.

Wiki said one thing, relic holders another. And in all honestly last time i used it was perhaps 2008 when Ls's did group dynamics.
Your welcome to see my scythe. I am not hard to miss as my name is Presidentobama on my server.
Tips I got would be ignore Int/Agi. Do Str/atk
Also build a Pdt set.
Overall I played blu, but crour made it possible for me to finish my relic. So now my drk can shine.

Another fun thing about Apoc WS is it ignores shadows.

grats on your relic. go donkey punch some sh*t with it. i'm not sure if you're trolling of if you really didn't expect some epic /facepalm from everyone when you show up with 'hey i got my relic how i gear for WS?' thread though.

So I been using my scythe and got it up to 90.
I listened to many peolpes advice on atmas, but I felt it was weak. After researching Atmas myself I came across one no one mentioned.
Atma of the roaring laughter. +50 str + 12% counter "perhaps higher" It seems it is, and it says evasion 30, but when equip the atma it doesnt raise evasion.
Anyway with VV, strout arm and this atma and no buffs you get 870 attack. The counter procs very high so your doing 300-600 counter attacks.
My question though why would no one ever think of this atma. My guess is its a Quested atma in Ulrange, and you can't just kill a NM to get it, but its truely insane.
The three atmas combined.
+150 str
2 tic regain
10% double attack
12% or higher counter
among other buffs, you should break 300 str np.

Evasion is not the same as Evasion Skill.
I think you should give me your scythe.

Posted: Dec 12 2011 at 5:52 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Sorry I don't need to brew spam and get a emp or all af+3 withen a day or week. What in return makes the game boring and no challange. This is why SE is making things hard again, what I do welcome. As for you, get a relic or shut up as you acomplish nothing meaningful.
Any 'accomplishment' in FFXI is directly tied to one's ability to make pawns of others, especially pre-change Relics.
But I was just calling you a moron, no need to make a serious discussion about it.
Also there's a teeny tiny thing called a 'negative sign' on the evasion on Roaring Laughter. Should still be fairly irrelevant on DRK.

Unfortunately that is a terrible set up. With abyssites/gear/food fSTR is already closed to capped. (If its not) making all that extra STR very underwelming. RR is the best atma for DD and should alway be used. Beyond that the number one issue with DRK is swing frequency which is where AandO and Apoc are used.
All the atma combos have been mathed to death for DRK, there is no hidden or unthought of combo at this point.

OOOOoooorrrr.... you could go for triple attack, actually gain tp from those extra swings (yea, that's right- counters give no TP), and spam Cata more often for HP drain.
You see this? Don't do this. Seriously. Don't. Xypin is a crazy one. You go on doing what you're doing.
Ok seriously though. Do what he says. Please. See? I even asked nicely.
Cannibalism is a valid means of debate. Your opponent presents their side of the argument and you respond in kind by consuming their liver. Thus the debate ends with you having proved your point. As a boon for being such a master of the debationary arts few people will wish to confront you in such a manner in the future.

Posted: Dec 13 2011 at 2:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Are you serous? In a exp, I wouldn't even take my drk. Monsters die many times before you can even get off one weaponskill in a exp party. If I wanted exp I'd dual box FC or CW and end up getting more than a exp party combined.
Then stop dicking about, set RR/GH/RL and go /MNK. 75% counter rate and mobs attack a lot faster than you much of the time, and rapes the sh*t out of whatever WS rate you might hope to achieve with minimal support.
It pretty much doubles your melee output, which on top of GH/RR is already better than doubled to begin with. Your puny 2k WS every 15 seconds is no match for the UNGODLY FURY of 600+ damage counters against a double-attacking 340 delay mob.
Casually tanking Amarok while drunk was so much fun. I almost put my WHM to sleep and I swear they were healing me with Cure 4 half the time.
If you're the only melee, nothing beats /MNK with RR/GH/RL.

I go away for a while and wtf is this sh*t?
If you have an Apocalypse and are playing in Abyssea, stick with RR/Lion/Apoc. You can go with A&O instead of Lion if you really need the Attack I guess, but -10% Physical Damage, More HP for SE and survival, and Apoc DRK's already ridiculously high attack means it's generally better.
/SAM is the only sub when you have Apoc. Regain Atma is virtually useless unless you're procing as a DRK with something other than your big ass scythe.
Why does anyone even respond to the trolltard?
Can't wait till I get the time off to actually play and get my Apoc to 99. Hoping they put some more hidden goodies on it like a another damage boost and a longer aftermath duration.

Want to make a wager who gets 99 first?
Honestly though, you will probably win.

Noone will get 99 Apoc within the next 3 years unless everyone magically starts going after Arch DL because as it stands you need 1000 of his drops and only drops one per kill.

More testament to how sh*tty Scythe is in general now, but you're free to be more specific.
I've still not seen proof he actually has Apoc anyway. As fast as he claims to have done it, I know for sure he either has a 95 Apoc or a Girlfriend, but not both.

It's pretty easy to get a relic these days, which is sad because while it wasnt really hard before, the process used to weed out retards.
And while typical GS builds are better than typical Scythe builds now, Apocalypse is still far and away the hands down best DD weapon for DRK. Nothing really even comes close outside of a strong Caladbolg build.
