Endgame gear opinions

Sakubatou - Sanctuary

I know these threads are super tiring but I'd like you guys to rip apart my build and suggest something better.

I have 2 accounts (Classes and level in the siggy) and AA casters on both so I'd like to be able to transfer the gear, which means Rank 9 is kind of out. Investing so much in 1 character for gear my other 4 caster wont be able to use seems... well it'd suck. Lunar has higher pdef, 5 piece defense level bonus, is farmable, and is tradable so I'm leaning that way, but lemme know if you have a better suggestion other than Rank 9.

Also confused on belt/neck but i think cube and warsong are best?

Here's what I aim to work towards. Rip it apart and criticize pls and thanks for the help.

I would like to point out that vit stones are dumb for Clerics....

Vit stones give 10hp per vit but a Cit Gem gives 115hp....do the math and the cost b:surrender

Overall I say that it looks great, although I MUCH prefer the Lunar/CV rings to the Rank rings and I am just not sure the R9 ring is worth it for the cost...I don't even wear my R8 ring on Fay, just 2 Lunar/CV rings...I am also a fan of the Heavenrage Boots as well but the Nirvana works just as well because of the set bonuses...

the cube neck and warsong belt are very nice but if you so choose you can get away with the HH/TT 90 Gold neck and the 4th Map (Moonshade) Belt, if you do not want to invest. Just make sure they are both Protection

Also note, I am NOT a fan of R9 for Clerics....attack level has no bearing on heals and the stats and refines (but like +20 more hp at +7) are SO similar to 2nd cast lunar Nirvana...

Looks good to me

Looks good.

I agree entirely with Rose. Lose the vit stones as they are a waste of money and less HP than the lvl 11 gem.

Also, I'd not bother with rank at all if you are going to switch off gear. Just simpler to get the full lunar robe as I think it would be cheaper than rank on both chars...? (Not really sure as I have been out from the game too long to make an informed decision about that).

I love the cube neck / warsong belt and used those myself. Rose is right, though, map belt and TT90 neck is cheaper if you want to save some coin. If your coin agrees with you +10'ing, then the pack orns are definitely the better option. (Mainly for the adds as the difference in refined base is not huge between them.) I don't really care for 5 parts of the set for the def level bonus as I think the cloudcharger cape has nicer adds, but if the +10 def levels works out to be more than the added pdef or you prefer that, then I shan't object. Lastly, and again with Rose here, I prefer the CV rings to the rank for the money you spend.

Really it depends on what you will be doing. Either way, it does look good. Just lose the vit stones...

Hope that helps, cheers!

Thanks guys,

Yah. You're right about the citrine gems > vit gems, I was thinking like a melee char.

Thought of the WoCC cape but was thinking 1 more piece of lunar gets me the def levels... main benefit beside pdef of WoCC is how early you'd get a G13 cape and since I'm almost 100 anyways and could have a G15 cape and defense levels I'm leaning that way.

I agree on the rank, now that I look at it. Should I still bother going rank 8 for weapon and top or is the a better top option too? Lunar weapon gets nicer after +8 refines than rank 8 weapon so I can use that endgame and transfer it between chars.

Still not sure on rings. I know in most the squads my barb and bm run the cleric is optional and really just used to save pots in between mobs so you start attacking with full health. As more and more people get nicer endgame stuff this seems to be the trend and clerics attack and debuff more, which is why I was liking the crit and hp on the rings. Wasn't thinking I needed more attack power with Lunar +8 and pure magic. Only thing I really really would miss is refining rings for pdef, but magic rings don't refine for that which is why I was thinking rank 9 for the +def levelsand + 210/125 attack power.

Vit stones are that bad for clerics? I thought it also gives Phy.Def., but I can't discern how much. I have managed to get WoCC, and am trying to figure out if I should refine it highly, and what stones to put in its socket. Since it binds, it'll probably stay with me until endgame. Up until now I had thought the +10 Vit stones are better than +HP stones. I've been mistaken?

Jellytoast - Sanctuary

Nahh I personally like vit stones way better. Vit isn't only the hp.

But since you're already most of the way nirvana, I'd suggest getting the top and weapon done as well. The 2 second cast nirvana glaives (both lunar and nirvana) have 200-ish less base attack power than rank 9, and a chance to get stats you may like better.
