When demon-sparked, both give you 5 aps. I have all other int gears for when I hit 100 (http://pwcalc.com/5263b9098ee98be4 - will later be changing helm to nirvy helm and am going full DoT, couldn't be bothered to shard all on calc lol. Have all D.orbs I need for +7). I have nirvy dagger that I'm going to re-roll for -int and yes, I know the chance of getting 2x-int is very very low (more like zero for someone like me >.>). I'm wondering though, if I was lucky enough to at least get one int on G15 dagger, where would that put me against 2x-int G15 dagger? Hugh difference between 3.33 and 4 unsparked for sin? (Don't really need rank dagger inputs >_< Have enough rep for R8 which I may or may not get, not going R9 for my own reasons :D) Tyvm b:thanks

    assuming demon sparked, it should make no difference, as you would be able to permaspark at 3.33 aps/5 sparked

    the 4 base is more important for a sage sin, for a demon, the difference should be minimal

    Base aps is situational in use. There are plenty of permaerupt interrupts out there as well as situations to not bother erupting for. About half my Assassin's use is not under the influence of eruption.

    Basically what thumbs said.

    Having 2x -0.05 on g15 daggers also allows you to switch out your belt/neck for higher-end defensive gear.


    For example, one sin on my server has +12 G15 Lunar Nirvana Daggers with SS and 2x -0.05. Since he has all the -int gear possible for a sin, he was at 4 unsparked. So he switched out his belt for r9 belt, and necklace for g15 m def Cube neck. He gained a LOT of defenses, a few attack and defense levels, a bit more health, and still is 5 aps sparked.

    TY for everyone's advices, really appreciated. So I guess base aps is not going to matter so much other than that if I get lucky to have 2x -int, I can switch ornas. If I may add another (or two) question, is drake more suitable gem than garnet for G15? I'd've thought so since it's end-game (or at least end-game for me) but wanted to hear from other pro sins :D

    Also, if switching ornas assuming 2x -int on G15, mdef cube & warsong or pdef cube & warsong? I can understand why sin Skai mentioned get mdef.. I have both pdef/mdef warsong belt but only pdef cube neck.

    one situation would be in PK or TW so you can hit 5.0 windshield and go through charm tick.

    What Traz said is true. 5 aps glitches through charm.

    And go with M def Cube and r9 belt. R9 belt is 700 p and m def, providing massive defense for both, as a belt. +10 P or M def Warsong would only give you ~2-300 more defense in just one category, while completely neglecting the other.

    ._. i didn't reli wanna work for another r9 as I already have a complete R9+JOSD (but it's caster and in all mmorpg I have played, I've almost always played caster so sin is kinda all new for me) and tbh, that was more than enoug xDDD I want good gears for sin but not go as far as R9... but I guess belt is not as costly as weap so maybe I should consider...

    But could you explain what you mean by 5aps glitching through charm tick? And 3.33 or 4aps, once you spark, it's 5aps so wouldn't need windshield, would it?

    You would for PK if you APS PvP

    Triple Spark in PK or TW is fail
