Glaives of Divinity or Yaksa

Get Endless Ambiguity.

/thread

<-- LA cleric, went Yaksa. (Couldn't live without the +phy def that I got used to with my old saky)

endless has chan wich is more usefull for healing and more hp wich helps survioverabilty

@channeling
no, it s bad point - it s like buying one single ring with +crit and being happy that u went from 2% to 3% in total stat..

unless u interested in getting other -channel gear, u shudnt rly care if weapon has that bonus or not

---

lets say u are 50vit cler with 331 mag points at 80

from unrefined yaksa/divinity u will get that:
(unbuffed mag base stat)

yaksa, something like 3780-4500

divinity, 3380-5050


serious con of galvies of divinity is that they have 'max mag attack' instead of 'mag attack' add, so ur averange heal will be almost same on both
so with some p. def yaksa may be better option

anyway, i wud choose green wheel if i wud be u (3760-4970). but that jsut personal preference xF


i know numbers seems low but those are unrefined, unsharded weapons and stat isnt buffed (i considered some magic rings tho)

in 'reality' those numbers wud be 1-2k higher

Reasoning for Endless Ambiguity for cleric weapon:

1) HP bonus. HP>Pdef for clerics.
The phys def bonus on Yaska will cut incoming damage from physical attacks (from mobs your level) by about 2%, which is nice, but only helps against physical damage.
*cough* Plume Shell *cough*

2) Healing.
Channeling gives you faster heals, every little bit helps. Stack it with Sleeves of Sea Captain for -9%... which is fairly significant.

3) The future.
Glaives of Divinity is a mold weapon, it has no future.
Yaska becomes a level 90 sword with an evasion bonus... eeeww... Then a level 99 with a nice magic and crit bonus but no HP of Phys defense.
Endless Ambiguity becomes a level 90 sword with channeling, magic and vitality bonuses... yummy... and a CHOICE of level 99 weapons with channeling, HP, vit, phys def, and magic bonuses available...

All that aside, the Glaive and Yaska are both very nice weapons. More suited to DD than support, but very nice...

Just pick the one that matches with your fashion best b:pleased

OMG, thank you very much for the info. I just hit 80 and I were going to get Yaksa myself, because of its phys def+ (just as my Sakyamuni Light has). But after reading this thread, I guess Endless Ambiguity is my only choice as a support cleric ^.^

Yay, it's time to farm b:victory

Once again, thanks

For level 80, you should look ahead to the tt90s (or mold, fc and lunar) and consider them too like what the above people have said.

Personally, I went with the acalanatha wand : sunflame because it gives good mag and hp. Paramedic is right when he said what's 3% channeling compared to 9% channeling, thats like comparing 3% crit and 5% crit.

My tt90 plan is either the wheel of denied fate or requiem blade because
1. to make the tt90(wraith conqueror) after endless ambiguity, the dust of devil in my server costs 1mil+. It'll be cheaper to sell it and get other weapons(refined and sharded)

2. i dont find the other tt90 worth making other than wraith conqueror.

3. I would like to focus more on getting tt90 gears and not throw all my coins on the weapon.

Also, cons for yaksa
1. most mob >lvl70 are magic based. Physical defence does not matter that much, stacking hp would be more beneficial.
2. 1% crit, you cannot crit on heals. It won't help much as a support cleric.
Besides, at lvl80, they normally judge clerics based on level and hp.(to get into those TTs and gammas)

If you are rich(or lucky) enough, there are fc and lunar weapon to consider too.

I just wonder how many HH run should I do. Done 3 so far and get only 1 Ape's Tooth, 2 Frenzy's Claws and some Klunkies -_-

If you have a good faction, or even 3 good friends, you can do runs just for the bosses you need. Takes about 15 minutes per boss (depending on how much DD you can bring) and with double drops on you have a decent chance of getting everything you need in a few runs.

I am lucky enough to have a good faction and some friends who are willing to do this. The person who needs their gear gets it quick and the rest of the squad splits other drops to help cover expenses. I have been on many runs where I spent more than I made... but also been on many where I got all the major drops because I needed them, so it works out for the whole group over time.

As for frenzy lion claws the can be farmed from the first boss in 2-2 solo mode. If you have one friend over lvl 82+ to open it...
"Solo" mode is a IH stacked slog for a lone cleric, and probably charm-**** as well, but take a ranged DD in there to tank and it will go quite fast.

I haven't done 2-2 solo but in 2-1 solo the first boss uses a ranged physical aoe b:shocked

Tangential tale of a nub:
First time I tried it with another cleric and an archer... I was gonna tank, as highest level. We all ran out to the boss, cleric started healing me and I started attacking, all of a sudden they were both half dead and running back to the hall. The archer got blown up in the hand trap and the other cleric barely made it out of aoe alive. I stacked myself with IH while the archer got rezzed and went back to attacking. About halfway through the archer stole aggro from me (not too surprising b:chuckle) and Fataliqua took a run at him. He stopped attacking right away, and I got back aggro before they were killed, but the boss had run to where the archer and cleric were in aoe again. Now they were trapped between the hands taking 1k+ aoe hits every couple seconds, so uh... they both died... and both laid there till I finished off the boss... 5 IH and one whirlwind over and over and over and over...

glaives is nice for a good weapon if you cant get TT runs or mats too easily. I rarely have the time to run 2-1 and 2-2 epsecially when we have the manpower online to do one of those runs. I got a glaives mold for 1 mil, used some blue eggs from the tideborn quests to refine to +4 and put in a flawless sapphire i pick up off the ground when some guy was dropping cash shop pack stuff because he didnt like what he was getting.b:chuckle

I really like it too my buffed magic atk stat is 5310-7517 at level 79 according to pwcalc (i'm not near my personal computer)

the large range can give some decent spike damage too (though personally i prefer constant damage) I used 2 spark lvl 8 weild thunder on ofotis on fb59 and hit him for over 19k without critting or debuffs

But yes it is a mold and does not go anywhere. looking into the future i will still likely make an endless ambiguity to get the wraith conqueror at 90 since i already have the greifs breath anyway but I would also like to get the wheel at TT99.

I don't agree with the 'pick a chain to follow' mentality (unless you don't plan on investing in your weapon at all until 9x).

You'd save money if you sold your finished TT gear then rebuy (or refarm) a crappy one for its souledge.

yes, thats the ideal. But sadly reality is harsh and its easier said than done ;/ There are not many pple that are willing to buy hand me down weapons, and the ones that dont mind, tend to be short in cash... I already had a **** load of bad time tryin to sell souledges. Maybe its diff. on a new server.

I had a Yaksa and sticked with it and got an Innocent reverie which isn't that great, but I like the TT99 scaredevil more than the 99 counterparts of wraith conquerer.
