so is warsoul better when you cant get the full r9 set?someone clear this up for me please?

Warsoul weapon would cost you the same as getting like 3-4 sets of full R9. 4.0 R9 APS would still most likely out DD 4.0 warsoul daggers.
IF you're talking about max DPS damage then what you want are 2nd stage nirvana dagers with Sac/GoF, -0.5 int and either dex +19 or max p.atk +130 on them. Those would out DPS any other daggers.

Im not sure about that "r9 out DD Warsoul"

Example:

Warsoul
http://pwcalc.com/00e4be41675bba25
Rank 9
http://pwcalc.com/f0eeb2342099a44b

Warsoul has more Max Phy Attack, 20 Attack level and 1% more Critrate.
Rank 9 has more min attack and GoF

At 4.0, GoF is nice, very nice to be exact. But how about the attack level?
Maybe someone calculate it.

But fact is, that warsoul (clean, unrefined, unsharded weapon) would probably cost more then a recasted r9 weapon+12 with shards.
And yes, when the rank 9 weapon is recasted, there is no doubt, that rank 9 beats warsoul.

I can't tell if your looking at this from the standpoint of just the weapon or full R9. Those links are the same and they dont show warsoul or R9 btw.

Warsoul weapon has +50 attack levels, full R9 is 60, recasted being 70. I would choose R9 simple cause you get the same or more damage power, but with a huge boost to defense with the armor.

oooops, forgott to click the safe button.

Sorry and fixed b:thanks

And he is not talking about full Rank 9, because he want to go aps and full rank 9 on a sin is far away from beeing aps

If you bought all the mats with chips, a warsoul weapon would cost you roughly 6.9 billion coins, depending on the price of chips. Full rank 9 would only cost you about 1.6 billion coins, which is 23% the cost of a warsoul weapon.

Warsoul has 2 advantages over rank 9. The first, warsoul is usable at level 80. The second, Warsoul is account stashable. Though, given that you could outfit 4 characters with full rank 9 for the cost of a single warsoul weapon, the second point is kind of moot, unless you have more than 4 characters who can share the same weapon. b:lipcurl

As for the first "advantage." With hyper FC/PV/whatever else people hyper to gain exp these days, you wouldn't be level 80 for very long. Unless of course you had some reason to not level.

In short: Rank 9 > warsoul. The full set of rank 9 is 1/4th the cost of a warsoul weapon, and offers better bonuses when worn as a set. Warsoul can be used at a lower level, and account stashed. But the huge cost of warsoul outweighs any small advantage it may have.

R9 is much better. It has higher max DPH by far due to god of frenzy and has more DPS due to GoF + attack level.

Warsoul dps would be like base damage * 1.8 (.8 comes from 30 attack level blessing and 50 attack level warsoul)
R9 is: base damage * 1.6 * 1.2 = base damage * 1.92 (GoF is 20% proc rate)

Also don't discount the +2m range on the r9. That is really good since you wont have to run up to autoattack after using a 4.5m skill.


Going forward not only can you do an r9 recast but there is also a 3rd cast of r9 on the way.

The only warsoul that is actually good is the claw since there is no r9 / morai claw.

In all honesty, I would only want a warsoul weapon so I could put it on a level 80 alt with green TT armor to troll people. b:laugh

You do know, that Warsoul dagger has range too?

For the sh/it n giggels, you can use Warsoul weapon and rest rank 9 gear, you would end up with the exact same attack level but you loose the gof b:laugh

Of course I don't know that. It would be sad if I knew that without looking!

Why do that when you could just go with local friends to do things? Save your money for better things. Clearly PWE, like every other MMORPGs are just schemes that will only make sheep get whatever stuff...

Actually. -.05

( I have Sac Strike)

Those would make for the ultimate daggers. HOWEVER I didnt get GOF with them. IT also gives much better gear options. Like say Nirvana Bracers and R9 boots

Or cube neck and belt
or a cape other then lunar. Lots of diff options. DPS is important. NEed more gear options though. Im waiting on G16-G17 nirvy gear
