BLU off-hand weapons

[.Curjos.]

Recetnly I got a Perdu Hanger, but now I'm faced with choosing which weapon I want to use as my off-hand.

My current choice varies between Ifrit's Blade and Beast Slayer. Obviously there are better choises out there, but for now I'm not sure which of the two I should use.

Any thoughts?

Ifrit's Blade. But try to look into getting a Koggelmander in the future.

Kogglemander is best

Fragnranch(44), Hofud (42), slayer weapons ( dex and vit +2) 41 base

ifrit's blade is fine and easily accessible but low base 36

anelace( dex and vit +2) 39 base- decent but no str there


it's kinda up to you whether to use your swords for stats like ifrits at 75 or use a dot sword but blu's damage is made mostly from spells so take that into consideration.


the swords above mostly are hard to get, try and get Beast Slayer base 42 vit and dex + 3 obtained from an easy zeni nm(though not easy drop) good offhand

If the choise right now is between the Ifrit's Blade and the Beast Slayer I'd say go with the Beast Slayer. The Ifrit's is terrible for sword dot and the 3 DEX on the Beast Slayer will also help out a bit with the big 3 spells.

I concur, the beast slayer (hell any high level slayer including the adaman kilij) would be best until you can get your hands on a Koggelmander mainly cuz of the stats on it (altho i tend to favor the demon slayer cuz my favorite mobs are imps).

Between those two options, depends on what you will be doing. For meripos, or anything you plan melee alot on, the Beastslayer. For soloing imps, or anything you plan to spam spell dmg on, I usually prefer Ifrit's for the extra +3 STR (more important for the big 3 then +3 DEX).

Kinda convenient this thread as becoming active again, cause now I have another question. <.>

So yeah, I decided a few days after checking up the augments on the fey-weapon quests, and went out to try it out. My target weapon is anything with DMG+5, Acc+4~6. So far, I've gotten:
#1 DMG+3, Acc.+5, M.Acc. +5
#2 DMG+4, Acc.+3, M.acc. +3

I want to use one of these with my perdu hanger in off-hand (obviously when I don't have dual wield I'll main hand perdu). Any opinions? :F

EDIT: Again, this is just temporary. I have no plans in the near future to do M.M.M for Koggelmander, though, mainly because my LS isn't really interested in staticing. But DMG+5/Acc.+4~6 acc. is like a mini-fragarach which would be useful. I'm gonna keep trying the fairy weapon quests til I get my target weapon.

This was brought up before in another forum that i frequent, and my belief is why would you really need more acc and macc on your weapon unless you are lacking it elsewhere? I personally prefer the slayers for the stats, and for the killer traits they imbue (lol demon killer has saved me a few times XD)

I dunno, guess i've never really found myself hurting for macc save for when wanting to land MP Drainkiss and such........

It depends on what he plans to do with his BLU. Acc still seems to be an issue at times for BLUs in meripos, seeing that a few would prefer to TP in Homam body over Morrigan's, given the choice (I am talking pre-af2, though I am still undecided whether Morrigan's or Mirage is hte better choice). Extra acc in the weapon slot would free up at least one other slot for more choices. Macc come still come into effect, I know I would still get resists on some of my magical spells in limbus (I normally use Actinic Burst almost whenever it is up).

And Curjos, when are you online? I wouldn't mind staticing with you for this, as long as it was somewhat of a loose static (I quit originally because endgame became too much of a job for me).

We usually run around after endgame events, which is usually around 22:00 GMT+1 (GMT summer time). It's nothing really formal, but we're usually in need of members. When we do it, I'll do a /sea for you and if you're online I'll let you know and if you're not busy you can come.

Hit me up as well, me and my BLU buddy Caelumira been looking for peeps to do this with. Im usually on late at night (in the states of course).

 

[Myrrh]

If you guys need a Smn or whm for that let me know. I'd like to get one for my Blu before I hit 75.

Only late night I can do is on Sunday ; ; (I work the graveyard shift during the week).
