Veno gear ponder

Firstly, Venomancer is not my main and I have the ability to farm 30 mil a week, so despite this lvl 51 icon, I do have farming power to obtain the gear in question.

Secondly, I have no idea how to shard/orn/weapon a Veno properly, so I threw this together. This is vaguely where I'd like my Veno to be around 97.

Please let me know what you think of the build and feel free to make any and all edits.

    Dude, it's like you totally stole my mind. Although you seem to have a lot more coin than I would hope to be able to spend on gear.

    I'd swap out the weapon though - the TT90 magic sword gives channel, and frankly is yummy compared to the pataka.

    Apart from that - yum. Make sure you've got a channel necklace to swap in when you don't need the hitpoints, and you're doing plenty well.

    You might find it cheaper to +6 something than to put in some of those perfect shards, though.

    Overall, not a bad build.

    Somewhat modified version of what you had: http://pwcalc.com/27f03c159e540dd4

    First off, for the love of all things holy refine your gear. May have just been an oversight of when the pwcalc was saved or whatever, but there were three pieces of unrefined gear. I bumped the TT90s up to +3 and the cape to +4. That alone gives you almost 300 more hp, allowing you to swap out the immaculate cits for garnets in the pants.

    Secondly, patakas suck for venos. The absurdly high spread between the base damage and the max damage makes pet healing and general damage unreliable and they hit slower than any other magic weapon making normal attacks in Fox Form less worth while. The exception to the pataka rule would be the R8/R9 patakas, since pretty much every R8/R9 hits like a truck.

    I also swapped out the FF weapon for the Lunar weapon. Since you've got decent income, the insignia shouldn't take you too long to get a hold of. The FF weapons aren't bad, but the lunar ones are much better and give you the option to upgrade to nirvana/share between casters/etc if you so choose. (Although, if your cleric already has a better weapon and you're planning on sharing it between the two characters, feel free to ignore this.) I went with the sword mainly because the FF weapon you had chosen was more defensively oriented, so with this, you don't lose the p.def/damage reduction you had with the pataka. If you want to focus on offense more, the NP is a better choice.

    Thats Way too expensive isnt it xD ??? Ill explain.

    Since Money isnt a issue for u (30m in a week is great thing) I made ur Veno lvl 100 , resetted her to pure magic and got Rank 8. Pataka Of melodic Prophecy gives Huge dmg and the Top and Bottom armor gives nice stats. I replaced all shards and made them Citrines , the Phys def loss was just a mere 2% while the HP gain is huge (like 2k more). I refined all Items to round 5. Cape is sth i really like . u can reset more of ur Dex and Str to put into magic and the 6% channeling is really nice (the build has a total of 36% - chan which is nice an balanced).

    Ornaments are REALLY expensive , but they are endgame. If u cant afford them or dont want to spend ur money on these , Simply keep Sky Demon , And use either Vibrant Jade or Guardian of Thundershock Reward (from the 4th MAP Cultivation Quest).

    At least its what i would want to have on my veno.

    Have Fun

    your build is good but however i would make a few adjustments like getting a lunar wand instead of the pataka and also buying the lvl 45 cape with 500 phy defence,10 vit and 3% phy demage reduce. that would make a real diference since the wand is better DD weapon and the cape gives you a lot more survivability. thats pretty much it other then that great build
    your build
    with a few adjustments

    If you've got the money go for the Warsong neck/belt. Especially if your veno is on the same acct as your cleric. Same with your channeling gear. If they are on the same account is your cleric using TT99 or rank. Might be worth it to look at the builds and try putting the cleric's gear on the veno. Then you can get dual usage between the two chars.

    If you can't get the Cloud Charger cape, use the winged trophy (pink) for the cape of torment...slight differences between the capes but less than 20 pts difference on the pdef amt. Depending on your server that could be a 40 mil difference between the two capes.

    My veno (main) and my cleric share the veno's gear. Had to modify the cleric's build a bit, due to the gear being built for the veno, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than having to refine and shard two sets of gear.
