[REQUEST] Suggested Stats and Equipment For Swords

[Miyako Tachibana]

I'm looking to making a build thats deals rather high dmg of Holy rather than the Slice and Wind Builds I see.

The Build I hold is

My stats are in picture below

1 Chiami(2 Confining Terror) and 3 Amaras(2x Fateds)

My swords has 2x True Spirit Blast on both weapons.

Swords probably has Lightning Slash, Sacred Strike, and Phoenix Slash (All Rank 7)

The weapons I currently am holding on to are:

EoD CROSS +100

Doujigiri Sanemori - Severance+100

A few questions I hold in my head:

Amaras with Heavenly Shield Ornas? Wouldn't that affect your crit?

How much MND should I need to at least support with good Invig?

My stats (Sorry they are kind of crap)


[EDIT: Selling my Ichimonji Seirais, going to try and get some better swords.]

[Extra] Scratch Holy, any build that requires lots of Blue Fang Blades would be nice.

In the case of a holy build, swords don't have any good non-ougi holy skills. You're better off obtaining (minimum) 4x tsb and running Chidori and using nothing but TSB.

You need to find a balance between H. Shield and Fated/Avenger for yourself. Personally I still have almost 60 crit even though I'm running two H. Shields. You also have a really low wisdom stat, which gives you crit as well.

1k attack stat with your staff = 1 bonus invig tick.

[Hybrid Hunter]

I pretty much agree with Ryxa's answer. As for H.Shield and Critical; CRIT isn't as much of a priority as it once was in the beginning to mid Edo stages. (Players used to chase 75+ CRIT (I always found that much crit was unnecessary but I digress.) Hell I see a lot of 110+ players walking around with mediocre affinity which is sad. (Always attempt to max imo, no matter your weapon choice).

However on the ougi thing...TB should always have a place amongst Sword/TS even if its small...

[Momiji]

Affinity only gives a direct Addition to damage. 110+ with a CROSS, yeah, that probably works. Not with a Catastrophy Cross though. Nothing to be sad about, frankly.

@OP Honestly, you would lose out a little too much just going TSB, and you will be gimping your EOD CROSS's damage, as it gives both slice & Lightning, complimenting Thunder Beast.If anything, it might be better to go obtain a Sword Affinity title(Change the title).

Q1. It will affect your crit, but it is a compromise you have to make. Its not a bout a maximum of anything, it is the optimisation of damage-factors.

Q2. INvig V takes 50 mnd, 64 mnd for invig 6, which you have plenty of. I think, its better to go and +100 a High level staff that you use for invigs and rapids.

[Miyako Tachibana]

That 2x TSB is only temporarily there on the CROSS due to its high affinity, and high damage against Satan and the Jorou Spider(Holy weakness). It pretty much has more damage than the Doujigiri Sanemori - Severance due to affinity problems. About MND, I'll probably lower my MND to a minimum to 75 for the use of the Resurrection skill. As for the title, I'm deciding to move to back to Date Masamune, which provides me 60% sword affinity.

And Ryxa, how much points should I put on my WIS, and DEX? After reading the stat points post Rhythm made, I'm not exactly sure how much DEX or WIS to have.

Stat Points Post by SupremeTentacle: http://onigiri.cyberstep.com/_/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7940

[Ryxa]

24 wis = 1 crit
12 dex = 1 crit
2 wis = 1 dex (In terms of crit scaling)

Experiment for yourself and figure out what's optimal for you. Personally I just put points in randomly until I found a build that used the least skill points and gave the most crit before hitting confirm.

[Miyako Tachibana]

I think I got my stats fixed out, but now I think I might change into something like this:

Reason why I'm searching for a new build is pretty much that I am dissatisfied with using TB and not really being able to be that good in new content :/
P.S Rhythm's posts are there, though I can't read it atm

TB will be useable again after lightning gargs + 105 magatama

What do you mean by a build like the one you linked? I'm too lazy to look through the video to find his status page.

As for my posts... I effectively asked him about certain materials/drop rates/opinion on specific weapon types. In other words, information gathering.

Err I mean I'll probably go along with the style of using 2x BFB, 1Phoenix Slash, and 2x TSB. I just wasn't sure if the player was going Heavenly Shielded Holy mags. But now looking back, could be using lots of slice to boost BFB's dmg output.

Sorry, my mind is a little jumbled at the moment, just really clueless on what to do at the moment on how to prepare on upcoming contents and what I can do. I don't exactly want to TB anymore.

[SupremeTentacle]

It's neither. Kijin is using really shitty magatama; most of his ornaments are junk, besides a double holy burai that he uses in some of his other videos.

Effectively speaking, that is sword's base damage with Lv. 105 Magatama and gargolye weapons.
