Hauby Vs. Byrnie

[Makelith]

Main job is 75 Drk and im levelin War up now, probably to be my new main for stuff once i get it higher, except gods if i ever get back in to it. Basically i wanna know is, after my hauberk sells should i get a hauby or a byrnie, which would be the best thing to use until i can swap it back out for a hauberk when the time comes.

Go check out how to calculate which will be better on your equipment setup using my site as reference.

I'd be inclined to say Byrnie. Then again, I don't see too many drk's sporting Byrnies. Not emo enough I suppose.

 

[Zoolander]

Hauby...no question.

 

[Dowzer]

Hauberk, but keep the byrnie for Souleater HP Build.

 

[Reko]

Haubergeon.

 

[Blazeoffury]

Just to clear some stuff up for you people, He's not talking about hauby vs byrnie for DRK.. he is talking about it for War... And I'd say just got get a byrnie+1 and own my friend.

 

[Lanien]

So Byrnie+1 is the best choice? I'm leveling WAR myself and hit 48 last night, so I will be coming up on this choice in a couple weeks depending on how much I decide to level. How much is the Byrnie+1 going for now anyways?

 

[Eulore]

Byrnie +1 > Hauby +1 > Hauby > Byrnie I believe. It might depend on your WS modifiers though.

 

[Reko]

As far as NQ's go.
10 attack and 3 vit is not better than 10 accuracy, 2 str and 8 dex.
(Yes 8, since you loose 3 dex w/ Byrnie but get 5 with Hauby)
With the exception of a very few WS's.
I only know 1 WS by heart that uses str and vit though, so for SATA Steel Cyclone I'd rather use Byrnie, but Haubergeon at all other times.

Pretty much the same goes for HQ, depending on how much ACC gear you have.
If you have PCC, Sniper x2 and a life belt, i guess you will get by just fine in a Byrnie+1.
But then again, there are much better things than acc to have for belt and rings. And DEX is better than VIT for DD anyway so...
If you go with hauby, you could use 2x Victory Rings instead of Snipers and end up with same acc, but 10 more str (9 if we're talking HQ bodies)...

 

[Lanien]

Hmm. Hauby+1 is looking pretty good to me right now. Sub out Woodsman for STR rings and just keep the Hauby, Life Belt, and PCC for Acc and keep using Sushi.

WAR: Hauby+1 > Byrnie+1 > Hauby > Byrnie
DRK: Hauby+1 > Hauby > Byrnie+1 > Byrnie

This is because WAR has a naturally obscene accuracy base.

 

[wolfskymoon]

Byrnie +1 > Haubergeon plus 1.
Axe:-
Acc ewwww.I've tested both of these.With sushi and aggreser you shouldn't really miss at all (Unless its IT+++ or something).The byrnie+1 is a whopping 25 attack and 5 str.Its defitnally going to give u bigger numbers at a consistant rate than hauby.
Gaxe:-
Byrnie is even better for gaxe.Assuming you are subbing thf the vit 5 and str 5 both modify the steel cyclone n the +25 is like cherrie on cake.I can do about 1600+ average with that.Now with mnk sub time your aggressor and focus ftw.Accuracy and dex from hauby would be completely out of place

 

[Direwolf]

I use a Hauby+1 and have to say I love it. You wear that, a PCC, lifebelt, sniper+rajas, and sole sushi you aint missing anytime soon.

 

[Tagrineth]

WAR: Hauby+1 > Byrnie+1 > Hauby > Byrnie
DRK: Hauby+1 > Hauby > Byrnie+1 > Byrnie

This is because WAR has a naturally obscene accuracy base.

The difference between a Hauby+1 and a Byrnie+1 -

Hauby has DEX, Byrnie has VIT.

Byrnie(+1) offers a significantly larger amount of attack.

If accuracy isn't a concern, Byrnie+1 should by all rights outdo Hauby+1 for WAR... and WAR has the same accuracy base as everyone else, but Aggressor gives you something absolutlely ridiculous (something like +45).

Yeah, Aggressor is insane. I have to learn not to use Berserk and Aggressor at the same time. It is ridiculous. But at level 48, Aggressor, Warcry, Berserk and Mighty Strikes hit for 540 lol It's fun to do when going for maximum damage output. You will die though, so watch out.

I would say the exact opposite, while your attack is up, you better hit ^^

doesnt help if you do too much and the mob eats you alive <,<

 

[Andreva]

That's why you have /nin and utsusemi. I don't really agree with the whole "war/nin" mentality most of the time, but the blink is rather practical if you lack any degree of personal hate control.

I've been with tanks where I cant use warcry before a ws. That's ok.
But if I ever stumble across a nin or pld who cant hold hate because I use zerk and aggressor... I wont stay long enough for the recasts to reset.
