For end game wizard; shard, will Drake flame be worth from what we can still get from Demon Stone Barrier over JoSD??

    You could shard with drake flames and get REALLY tanky vs phys DDs.
    There's just a few things:
    1) they're more expensive than jades
    2) no defense vs magic
    3) at a certain point in PDef you'll get more defense vs phys damage out of a jade.
    4) you're a wizard Harry.

    Just use the socket calculator, it will calculate your maximum survival index and what shard combination is best. You may find that it's not worth sharding any drakeflames at all, you may find that you would be better off sharding 2 or 3. If so, the difference between you sharding with drake flames and garnet gems is so little anyway you might as well just shard a couple of garnet gems and then mostly jades. I know some people go 2 parts garnet 4 parts jades.

    Either way, unless you're a psychic with no stackable PDef self buff, you might as well shard garnets instead cause you have stone barrier anyway

    Asterelle's Socket Calc

    Enter your stats. Select how many sockets you want to use. Select 'Super Endgame' and then you can see for yourself the survivability added comparing the two JoSD and Drakenflame.

    Also be sure to adjust the opponent criteria to something realistic like 130 attack lvls for r9rr opponents.

    The survivability is split between physical and magical.

    Play about with the calculator, adjust your def lvls to what you will be at with the JoSD you plan on sharding and then change the available sockets to 8 and then super endgame to see what is better survivability wise to use for the remaining 8 sockets.

    You would be, considering the high attack lvls of the opponent, the non-existent +20 vit stones give more survivability than the JoSD. Against someone with full deity stones you're probably better off with full normal vit stones. But probably a bad idea to base sharding vs one type of oppponent.

    The calc is flawless. To not trust Asty calc is blasphemy. Blasphemy I tell you! b:angry

    Edit: also this is why when Deity stones were being released alot of players asked whether these creation stones etc would be released as then it would make more sense using those than JoSD.
