Messed-up semi-APS build...

Sir_Puma - Raging Tide

Ok i'm trying to get as high APS as possible whitout having to put that much in game and staying true to what I like.. My physical def/lower physical damage % build. I don't care that much about magic resists, I have true emptyness on genie i'm not afraid to use.

Right now..2.86 APS sparked..

Wearing :

Lionheart neck and arms combo (to have -0.15 total)
Gorenox vanities (I don't want to change to Deicides,personnal choice..)
Plate of Vigilant (i like cause of high phys def and 2% reduce damage + str)
Scribe shoes (I like cause of the hp recovery and vit)
Very nice purple legs (With hp 135, vit 6)

Now I know that to have extra interval I could wear 2 pieces of ashura tt99.

I checked and ashura belt would be one to use I woudn't mind, but what about the other piece ? What would make me not drop too much in physical def ?

I was thinking belt/leg combo (and thinking of ashura legs, not Nirvana ones)

Or belt/boots would be better ?

I am not rich, so don't really mention cape or tome please..lol ( I can't even afford a accoutn stash right now to have a alt run TM for a lesser one)


And I know APS is exponential, so just getting -0.05 more would put me at what ?

3.00 sparked ?

Get Ashura boots hands down. Just because you don't plan on getting nirvana legs any time soon you should still think about the future. Ashura legs would be a huge waste kinda like getting tt99 necklace, although they are kinda cheap so easily replaceable.

To see what aps you would be you could check pwcalc.com

If you are 2.00 base you will spark at 2.86. An extra -.05 will put you at 2.22 base but you will still spark at 2.86.

And yah, boots are nice..The extra 1% reduce physical is amazing..would give me total 9% reduce physical damage

20k phys def (with my buff and clerc buff and altar physical + 9% reduce and chance to increase physical def from Gorenox all sound..so tempting b:chuckle

From the gear you described you are 2.0 base and spark to 2.86. Your next interval will be 2.22 and also spark to 2.86 (first one rounds up to a fast speed, doesn't boost you enough to make the next interval bump).

If you like physical defense, and reduction then think about this: HA belts and necklaces refine for pdef. Your armor plate has the most pdef of any piece, then the pants, then the boots, then the wrists. If you plan on getting +10 everything then the most pdef will go in this order: Plate, Pants, Neck/Belt, Boots, Rings (Lunar), Wrists. That's why most people get LA wrists and Boots. Any pdef loss is made up by having an HA ornament instead and you get a nice mdef bump from having LA armor pieces, whereas LA ornies would just give you evasion which is,... pretty much pointless.

Also, I wouldn't consider LA pants unless you plan on making a Sin your main. Play assuming you are going to G15 Nirvana your pants for the -int.

I explain aps here starting at post 8:
