Looks like a great start. I assume you've also got a tp/ws setup?


Not quite yet, as I've only taken out BST lately for Abyssea solo/duo pet killing. Ironclads and whatnot. Though it wouldnt take much to put them together, as I have Atheling/Twilight Belt/GlyphAxe/Charmer's/etc.

I think you can only get 4% haste with the armada mufflers

Hey guys, sorry to bump an old thread but thought it was better than making a whole new bst dd gear thread. I am looking for any input/any improvements on my current BST dd gearset. Thank you.



The next gearset is my current Rampage set. Any input/improvements would be much appreciated.

Now I don't play BST at all, and have no idea how call beast works with jugs, but do you have to WS in the jug? Can't you swap it out for something, then swap it back in when you need to call a new Yuly?

Yea, your right I could invest in getting an ammo piece for tp/ws. I don't need the jug/food in during tp/ws. I haven't really looked into the options, but demonry looks like a good piece for dd/with pet.

Definitely wouldn't be using af3+2 legs for rampage either. I'm using Byakko's Haidate w/augments. Or if you have them use Hecatomb Subligar. I'm sure there are others but those 2 w/good augs would be high on the totem pole.

About your TP set, this is a general question, is it worth using 4/5 af3+2 + Z.tiara/blizt ring over 4/5 af3+2 and Dusk+1 hands and Rajas Ring?

Tping, strictly supporting you:


Rampage; AF3 body, Twilight Mail, and Adaberk are all acceptable in that slot:


What axes you use are ultimately up to you, and there's probably some minor adjustments with the most recent gear that came out that i could make. This is just what i currently use.

Ninja edit bc i misread lol: Using the +2 hands over dusk is a minimal difference, I really don't think it's worth losing the benefits of epona's ring over.

Thank you everyone for the input. I'll start working on getting the +2 items for the AF3 Hat +2 and Dusk +1 gloves. So my new set will be:

Given that BST generally works with minimal buffs, I'm not sure replacing Rajas with Blitz is a good idea.

Why the loose of 5 str/dex is not much at all and the STP is not really used for a xhit

1.3-1.4% increase in weapon base D assuming 1 fSTR gain (more if 2 obviously) vs ~1.3% increase in TP damage unbuffed or 1.66% with Haste, nevermind a build like Josiah's where you're already at 25% and Blitz is further marginalized... the STP will give a ~4.9% increase in WS frequency via decreased average rounds/ws, whereas Blitz will give the same ~1.5ish% benefit varying with buffs. Rajas also offers a small accessory benefit with the Subtle Blow.

How did you get 4.9% increase in WSs?

so you recommend rajas>blitz if at 25%? ideally i would get a armada mufflers aug with 4% so blitz would be superfluous but im 0/75+ :|
also, not that I have an xhit or anything, but I very frequently end up at 98 and 99 TP which is kind of frustrating.

How did you get 4.9% increase in WSs?
Ballpark figure accounting for change in TP/hit without accounting for truncations in TP gain and TP return on WS. Pulled out a spreadsheet to account for given weapon delays/STP values/WS TP returns and found that the STP from Rajas gave slightly more than a 5% increase in WS frequency if /DNC (ignoring the accessory benefit of increased TP gain for steps/sambas/waltzes), but only a ~2% increase if /NIN. Assumed capped hitrate and used the gear sets posted by the necro-OP. Could show results but... there's a lot of possible permutations for WS return.

Definitely if already at 25%, less clear at 24% but Rajas likely still matches or beats Blitz.

New to bst as well and just a general question since this thread is what im using for gear. When you guys reward are u swapping weapons out? I know you lose tp blah blah but maybe its a non factor as pet is main DD anyway and you arent spamming reward every 15 seconds? Every set shows them in it

If I'm fighting alongside pet, its generally in Dynamis, so I leave my 2x Zoraal Ja's in mog sack so that macros don't swap them out. But in most other situations yes you should swap them out.


For a long time I was ok with losing the TP, tried to time it so that I would reward when I had just weaponskilled and stepped so i only had like 7 TP. But really, with other reward gear and Beast Healer merits it should get pet near full regardless

Curious on this /sam and Carbonara +1?



If I'm correct that should be 8hit for 100% TP right? Not that it would super useful, was just looking at some single axe TP options

Just tossing around some numbers. Using this build, and your ACC is high enough, you'll be swinging every 3.9 seconds getting 12tp per hit. That means it will take ~8 hits to get 100tp. Time wise, you should be hitting 100tp every ~31 seconds. And that's excludes the tp from the mob hitting you, if that happens, and double attack, which will shorten the time to get to 100tp.

you can save your neck slot by getting the oneiros cluster but I'm not sure if anyone has gotten a good way to get that drop.

I'm wondering what people think of this TP set:

Purely for the master. It comes out to 26% Haste, 24% DA, 5% TA. With DA axe, it would be 35% DA and two DA axes, 45% DA. You would be losing quite a bit of attack and accuracy for the TP gain.

Any thoughts?

Good job stacking the double attack and haste.

I prefer haste on pet and master.
