Which weapon path? TT99 Arcane Veno

_Alcmena_ - Sanctuary

Alright veno's or other high levels that know what they're doing. I'm kind of stuck on where I want to go with my TT99 Weapon.

(NOTE; IF THERE IS A THREAD ABOUT THIS ALREADY PLEASE LINK IT I'M BEING LAZY)

I would like to know what weapon you chose for your veno and why. Maybe it'll help me in choosing the right one. So far my eye is on the godspeed for TT99 i'd like to know all your opinions b:pleased

Posted this on another thread but I think this works better for you.

There isn't really a best weapon as it depends on your playing style. Although here are some weapon suggestions:

Wands: Lunar Weapon/Lunar Nirvana
☆ Neon Purgatory > ☆☆ Immortal Indulgence - Nirvana > ☆☆ Foundation of World

Magic Sword: Lunar Weapon/Lunar Nirvana
☆ Buddha's Leaf > ☆☆ Evanescence - Nirvana > ☆☆ Doom of Flowers - Universe

Glaives: TT99
☆ Fate Denial: Godspeed

Patakas: Rank VIII, lv. 97 Legendary Mold
☆☆ Pataka Of Melodic Prophecy, ☆ Midnight Black

These are just some of the weapons available for endgame. Most venos choose Rank VIII (200k rep) or go Lunar.

Personally, I own a Neon Purgatory because it has a decent magic range (when refined) and good bonuses (magic +16-17, channeling -6%, crit 2%).

SeaStorm - Heavens Tear

Personally I love my TT99 Broken Dream (it's green but I don't care).

However, I also own the Neon Purgatory, Budda's Leaf, Fate Denial: God Speed, and Pataka Of Melodic Prophecy. The Purgatory stays on my cleric as her main weapon but I've rotated with the rest of these on my veno and prefer the extra stats of the broken dream (neg 6 channel, + vit, and + HP) over all.

I'm personally going for the beamhoof slicer :x
unrefined and sharded:

Physical Atk: 473 - 709
Magic Atk: 862 - 1053

Bonus:
Maximum Magic Attack +250
Channelling -10%
Reduce Physical damage taken +3%

It's quite pricey seeing that you'll need all the signs of the sage's. Good thing the reputation won't be much of a problem anymore with all the sales ^^"

not a big fan of patakas, because of the large range and the low low-end, im also a next to full interval HA (i dont use la ornaments on veno) and the lower attack rate on patakas really sucks for fox form.

that being said, for the money, the rank 8 pataka blows everything else out of the water damage wise, the extra 6 to 10% channel on a weapon is going to make next to no difference in pvp, unless your channel is already unusually high. and at the price of 60m roughly when rep is on sale, you get a channeling top with +8 magic, which pretty much negates the losses you would get from switching from a neon purg to the rank 8. all the nirvana options are gonna cost you in the neighborhood of 350m to take them to stage 2, and your damage will be about the same as with rank8. even for HA foxes, at +7, your DPS with rank 8 will be better than an equally refined neon purgatory, even though you are hitting less often.

my highest crit with a +7 gemmed neon was around 100k, with a +10 gemmed r8 well over 200k, and my magic is 304 with gear.

the 97 mold pataka is worth the NPC price

DPS isn't the only thing to factor. I like hits per kill. It's nice when you can AoE grind with just Nova -> Noxious 2-hit killing 12-50 mobs at a time, or clearing mobs in FF faster than Pleveler Sins/BMs can. 1 hit killing in PK/TW eliminates charms turning 2 hit kills into 4 or more and so on. -ch is nice, but you can get enough on other equips for all things PvE.

Biggest drawback to going with the Rank Pataka is that it's bound. You can't even account stash it. It's also a loss when you get rank 9 since they're so similar. Rank 8 does give you a nice shirt and ring though which weighs in on the value of going that path.
