Need advice on Warrior equipment

[Swishiee]

First off, here's a link to my Alla profile with the armour I currently have to exp.

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/profile.xml?53983

I know I need to update it more. I plan on getting another Sniper's Ring for my other finger, I'm going to get an assault earring for one of my ears, and I'm going to replace my Gaia mantle with an Amemit mantle when I get to 61, and I'll possibly upgrade it to +1 at a later time.

First off, does this sound good to those of you who have high level Warriors? Also, what earring should I use in the other ear? I was thinking one of the Attack+4 Evasion-4 earrings (the name escapes me at the moment) or the +1 version.

Please leave your input.

I don't know your budget here, but regardless of budget I'd look into getting Assault Earring and Spike Earring. Also get Combat caster's boomerang +1/+2.

Now if you have extra cash, I'd grab HQ DS axes. Also I wouldn't really sweat the second sniper to much, unless you are using atk food instead of sushi, than deffinatly get the second sniper. Also Walkure's/V...'s mask are better than AF head piece.

Assuming you're using sushi as a DD:

A second sniper is not needed, instead you might want to get a second Sun Ring.

The Combat Caster Boomerang +1 (40k) is good for 4 acc, since Bastok never control any region, or regions you never party at (cough*Saruta*cough). At 63 replace it with the Bomb Core (+12att). The Spike Earring (50k) is better than Wing Earring.

The AF pants are ok, but the Royal Knight Breeches (2STR 2DEX 3att) (~110k) are much better for DD.

Also, at 61 you should get yourself a Tungi which is free and a good off-hand weapon.

I would go with an Assault Earring for now and at 63, get a Coral/Merman Earring. For now, go with Assault and Fang/Spike Earring. And Warriors are pretty good with Accuracy, so getting a Sun Ring to go with your 1 current Sniper is a good idea. Besides that and an Amemit, you're looking very good Swish.

Not that a Warrior will live or die on 2 Agi, but for the love of god drone aren't that expensive. :roll:

Spike Earring, they are like 30-50k I think for +5 Attack also Assault Earring like others said. And Walk/Valkries Mask is better the AF. I would also personally take R.K. Trousers over the AF. +2 STR +2 DEX and +3 attack is great.

I would also consider Bloodsword as your off hand +4 STR and +4 DEX also HP drain when farming, if you have Sword capped, which you should be trying to seeing that WAR is great with almost any kind of weapon. Also Goblin Grenade in your Ammo another +1 STR.

Don't bother with a Blood Sword. Just do what I did. Use a Heavy
Darksteel Axe until you're level 71. Once you hit that, switch up
to Bhuj. Also carry around two Darksteel Axes for
yourself. Neck piece? Wear what I'm wearing. Royal Guard's Collar
I guess you can wear Sniper's Rings if you want. But at that level, I simply
wore two Sardonynx Rings. And for earrings I wore Coral Earrings.
For your five main pieces of armor, just wear your AF until you're Lv. 69
and 70. Switch up to Hauberk for body, and for your pants wear
either Thick Breeches or Barone Cosciales... I prefer
Barone for the +6 Attack. One thing I must note that you carry, Swish my
lad is a Bomb Core in your ammo slot. I never leave home without
mine. You've got the right idea wearing an Amemit Mantle, so that is a good
thing. Once you get the chance, pick up an Assault Earring if
you haven't already.

If you really want a sword to use, and dual Skill-Up, go with an Ifrit's
Blade... You'll get "Decimation", "Steel Cyclone", and "Savage
Blade" down the road like me. Once you get past Maat (which is VERY
easy for WARs. I beat Maat on my first try.), it's pretty much just low
maintainence from there. My End-Game earrings and rings are a Flame
Ring, Hercules' Ring (which has "Regen" as Latent Effect. And +Enmity...
I EXP with it, which is just fine. Most people don't mind. I usually EXP
alot with THFs and the +Enmity helps me turn the mob for SATA.)
Assault Earring, & Coral Earring... I'm trying to trade them both in for a
"Suppanomimi" and "Fenrir's Earring" but since my PC's busted, I'm
having trouble getting back online.

Of course, there's the basic necessity of getting an Optical Hat, but you
won't need to worry about that for a good while.

Other than that... That's how I got to 75 WAR, and what works best for
me.

Just do whatever works best. I've basically told you the "route" I've
followed...

And when you get to Lv. 72 or 73. You can do a "WAR Cannon PT" in
Sky to get the remainder of your level and merit.

If you can't afford the hauberk you could also use assault jerkin with snipers instead of Hauberk with str rings (Evens out kinda).be sure to get your hands on Fransisca and Tungi axe.Tungi axe was a bich to get but it was well worth it.You'll hit 3 to 4 times alot more often.Fransisca axe is like best till 68 when u can get nazidak.Pendragon axe is nice also for its level if u can get some ppl to camp with you.

 

[ultraseven]

sorry to hijack your thread Swishee (Sabia's mine, btw^^), gonna hit up my WAR again... was curious about rings... what kinda different outputs will you get from wearing snipers and STR rings???

 

[Legomyeggo]

With Warrior you can either concentrate more on Str and attack equipment, and then use Acc food to balance everything out, or do the opposite. It just depends which you would rather go. Personally, I'd rather concentrate my gear on Acc, and use an Attack type food to know exactly how much accuracy I currently have, and how much can I mess around with it.

 

[Swishiee]

Thanks for the info everyone. I'd update my Alla profile again, but Alla sucks so much that I don't want to deal with it.

I just recently switched from mithkabobs to Sole Sushi, which I found to help me a lot with DD and ACC. I ended up getting a spike earring and an assault earring for my ears, and got a Combat Caster's +1 boomerang. As for weapons, I'm looking into getting a Tungi, and I'm going to keep one of the Darksteels until I can use my Fransisca at 63. And I'm also going to get a heavy darksteel axe for great axe once one goes up for sale.

Now I just need to exp again to see how well I do.

(Sabia's mine, btw^^)

You wish.
