Ok so I decided to finish(start) Almace for my BLU, and was wondering what the best TP and WS set for a Almace BLU would be.. Benethic set for Darkness too.

Was aiming for this for..

TP (STR/ATK Shamshir +2)


CDC (AF3+2 Hat for CA_WS)


Benethic (.datAGI build)


Note: STR/ATK Shamshir +2 because ATK for CDC and STR helps all physical spell/abilities.
Note: Considered using Moonshade TP+25/ATK+4 for CDC, also have a Mirke with CritRate+3% and ATK+10 for outside Abyssea. Use Anwig DEX/AGI for CDC in Abyssea also.

here's the benthic thread

I think you can get away with casting benthic with Mavi tathlum, and use the +2 head whenever you're under CA.

CA effects the WS not the spell I thought?

This is what I tp in, aiming for dusk since it has attack on it as oposed to ocelot & homam, you could use tiphia sting aswell, but it's not make or break material.

The twilight torque is there because I havnt bought an orochi nodowa and havn't bothered with Fortitude yet.

Edit: Attack shamshir too, also very lazy to kill the 300 birds ._.

You could also buy Dusk ledelsens +1 and use homam legs over Mavi Tayt to benefit from the extra fast cast for utility spells & Head butts.

Dumb and unnecessary imo 3 sets with varying levels of refresh depending how much % mp you have is a bad reason to alter a tp build.

Wherever there's a blu thread youre there lurking in an attempt to put others down and make yourself seem better. Wonder how long it will be before Krizz blocks you from this thread.

how ironic.


I don't care if i get topic banned or not, there's a difference of putting people down and criticizing how people brags a lot for easy solo stuff on blu forums and i did it only on draylo's videos thread, you are just very defensive in a ironic way, i was not disrespecting or insulting anyone.

I wasnt being nasty just saying bit of dumb reason to alter a tp set to increase auto refresh imo. And that isnt the only thread youve criticized people in. Has your mum managed to solo that fight yet you slammed Draylo for with less elixirs btw?

I dont know about you, but personally I think MP is handy to have some of :P
And about my english not beeing perfect, I'm sorry for living in a country where the language is never really used other than the occational tourist I gotta talk to once a year. lol

My English isnt perfect either just correcting a word I noticed that was misspelled. Ive never personally tp'd on a mob or nm and wished for a tp set with more auto refresh though is all, especially 3 different builds mp shouldnt really be a problem where you have to sacrifice melee dot for auto refresh.

cant post set up in boxes like you guys ;p so I'll just briefly type.

For TP: AF3 head+2/legs, dusk hands and feet+1, Mextli harness, epona/rajas, brutal,suppa, twilight belt, atheling, foritude torque.
Best offhand would be the DA sword, very nice piece she is indeed, personally don't have it myself but I'll get round to it one of these days.

CDC: Loki's, Anwig salade with Crit dmg+2%, DEX+4/atk+3, Love torque/Shifting Necklace, Alcide's mitts+1, Alcide's Leggings+1,
Cuchulain's Belt, Atheling, Epona's/augmented jupiter's (fkin rare...)
Pixie earring/Brutal, Tumbler Trunks and a Thunder Sachet.

Just what I use pretty much, situationally theres better but inside abyssea, I'd say that's the strongest CDC set possible as of now

Best offhand as mentioned above is of course the DA+10 trial Sword.

Math on this? I still have it losing to Str Shamshir assuming Accuracy capped/Attack uncapped and Dex Shamshir assuming Accuracy uncapped.

You're not wrong. DA sword is only better if you're somehow capping cRatio.

Mextli Harness + Cuauhtli Headpiece +1 can be better than Loki's + Zelus depending on acc needs/atmas (if in Abyssea). Fortitude Torque, Wtath/Tiphia/Smart Grenade if you have inv space, and if you're using Spellcast I'd probably swap in the relevant Serpentes piece in the max refresh set so that you're giving up 1 less haste 50% of the time. Outside Abyssea, you're also getting 8 STR back from AF3 legs. The first two sets are enough for the most part but it certainly doesn't hurt to have the third option. Depending on how much support you have, the different sets can be very helpful in certain situations.

Only major change to the OP's WS set would be Alcide's Mitts +1. Leggings +1 vs Lithe can vary a bit but Lithe is inv+1 since it's also good for Benthic; if you can get Blood Greaves with STR+~4 that would be an option that works for CDC, Benthic, and potentially other spell sets as well. AF3 legs situationally outside Abyssea. [item]Jupiter's Pearl[/i] vs Aesir can vary by critrate/cRatio but you're already stacking a lot of DEX and it's hard to come by.
