    Yes it is possible for a 5.0 r9 sin to come out, but who's to say that the 2x int stat on a r8 recast armor will be that of a sins, or more specifically, that of a r9 +12 sin. The odds are just too much against it. But of-course it would dominate in PvE

    There's a BM on Sanctuary who's got 2x -0.05 interval on their HA chest.

    YP.S (unrelated to topic) i out DD r9 +12 with my current state. I also out DD while unsparked but alot more (5.0 in pk with GoF is super epic) The idea was for me to be a 5.0 sage, but it might not come to that. I could be 4.0 sage, then 5.0 with windshield but its not so appealing to me. r9 Daggers are great but the un-sparked APS isn't very flattering. Tho if i happen to get 2x int on plate, I would invest on r9 weapon for farming, and use my current daggers for pk.

    Let me be crystal clear:

    If you had r9 +12, you would do more DPS.

    What Traz meant was, even with 4.0 r9 sparked, r9+12 does more damage than your current daggers.

    5 APS G15 +12: 321,929 dps
    4 APS R9 +12: 319,025 dps
    4 APS R9R +12: 338,572 dps

    I'm pretty sure I already pointed out a long time ago that 5 aps with GoF is superior to R9.

    The origin of G15 Nirvana supposedly requiring GoF, -0.05 interval and +130 max is probably a combination of the following:
    a) Not using DoTs as shards
    b) Not using R9 ring for both setups
    c) Not bothering to check whether you could reduce the requirements
    d) Not using +12 refines on the weapons

    Also note that the G15 setup here has 4 aps base, meaning that the DPS could still be higher via using a cube necklace for an extra 5 attack levels.

    However, R9 has significantly higher DPH due to 30 more Attack Levels. And since we've been proven that one can solo Harpy Wraith with 3.33 aps and R9, I'd say that pretty much makes R9 the superior choice, despite having less DPS and APS. Not to mention that having the R9 dagger gives you the option of getting the R9 belt for the set bonus.

    As for the recast discussion, the biggest advantages of recast R8 are:
    a) 5.0 R9 Demon
    b) 5.0 Sage
    c) Being able to shard 24 JoSD regardless of culti

    A realistic recast R8 weapon is a watered-down R9, whereas an ideal recast R8 is superior to R9. Then again, in PvE, the same is true of the G15 Morai, pretty much.

    Ah, that makes sense now Olbaze. I don't think you cleared it up before that G15 with 2x -ints can still out DD 4.0 r9, but I know you did with the other adds.

    Either way both are great daggers, and the extra ~2.9k DPS G15 has isn't really that much over R9's when comparing the total numbers.

    I know I did G15 v R9 for Sage, with 2x -0.05 turning out superior with any unique mod except +3% crit.

    Generally speaking I don't bother much with Demons, since I consider cheze soloing Harpy with 3.33 R9 to show that going for -interval is rather moot, thus pondering whether a specific combination of mods for G15 would superior to R9 is a boring task.

    fixed, you do the math and try, g15 will out dps the r9 with those adds.

    I'll do it for you, but correct me if i'm wrong. (this being done with GoF at 30% proc, also being done sparked cos single pve, when are you not sparked?)

    Dark Death Thorns
    (21,312 - 26,008) / 2 * 1.59 = 37,619.4
    37,619.4 * 1.30 * 1.32 = 64,554.9
    64,554.9 * 5 = 322,774.5 DPS


    R9 Daggers
    (21,735 + 25,822) / 2 * 1.89 = 44,941.4
    44,941.4 * 1.30 * 1.33 = 77,703.6
    77,703.6 * 4 = 310,814.5 DPS

    Just in case you couldn't tell
    (Min Attack + Max Attack) / 2 * Attack Level = A
    A * GoF Proc * Crit Rate = B
    B * APS = C

    They used a different ring. Switching the 130 mod for this build gives you:

    (21,312 + 24,717) / 2 * 1.59 = 36,593.055
    36,593.055 * 1.30 * 1.32 = 62,793.7
    62,793.7 * 5 = 313,968.4

    Well how about that, still works out for the original figures.

    Its insane... the difference in my defence from wearing this gear just makes pk that much more fun.

    nearly died laughing here. learn to play your class. sins have skills to defend themselfs you know!? and if you wouldnt be so aps crazed you would notice they have alot of skills for offencive use as well. but with your playstyle you will propably never notice.

    make pk more fun? lol
    must be fun and amazing skill to wait until buffs of your targets run out and while hiding in stealth with your lvl 105, doublespark headhunt aps kill and back to stealth others. how many keys you need to press? 3? or even macroed it already?

    btw if you have that much defence why are you still hiding in stealth?

    imao go hide in stealth and behind your new GD friends. and if you are as pro as masterma start flaming while hiding in a mob of 15+ pking factionmates outside west ogtfo.

    Well it actually depends a bit.

    Taking the same build I used previously in this thread, if you take out the DoTs from both setups, you end up with:
    5 APS G15 +12: 273,940 dps
    4 APS R9 +12: 278,938 dps

    On the other hand, if you lower the refine to +10 while keeping the DoTs, you get:
    5 APS G15 +10: 277,279 dps
    4 APS R9 +10: 280,047 dps

    Finally, if you lower the refine to +10 and remove the DoTs, you get:
    5 APS G15 +10: 235,945 dps
    4 APS R9 +10: 244,857 dps

    In all of the above cases, R9 comes out on top.

    Of course, out of these cases, the first two have very minimal differences and I'd put my money on a G16 Cube Necklace being enough to push the G15 to be the top weapon.

    As I suspected, the superiority of R9 hinges critically on Attack Levels. And another interesting note is that the Jones' Blessing is actually the key contributor to the G15 being able to compete with R9 at all.

    Holding aggro isn't really a measure of DPS anyway.

    You can grab aggro from someone else just by timing your sparks differently and/or using Power Dash. I take aggro from a 5 aps +10 BM who should have like 40% more DPS whenever I use Power Dash.

    but yeah it depends on sparktiming and buffs/debuffs.

    Um... which R8? Recast?

    Recast R8 chest here shows -0.05 interval as a possible mod. Same for the boots.

    But yes, you cannot get -interval on the wrists or the leggings. However, that is rather irrelevant since the set bonus for 3 pieces with -0.1 interval. Get -0.05 on armor and boots, get any leggings and you total -0.2, which is exactly what you would get with TT99 boots, Nirvana Leggings and R8 armor.

    Yup, and getting just -0.05 on boots allows you to replace your boots and upgrade to 2nd cast nirvy bracers too.

    So based on how you structured that sentence, that sage sin will out DD any demon with the same gear AND G15 as well..... that "as well" on the end of your sentence bothers me. Maybe if the other sin is vit stone build or along those lines, but that "as well" makes me believe you think that sage sin will always have aggro from anyone (including demons with same gear). All the info I need was in that one sentence and now I know it's pointless to even bother with you further.

    Well, technically any Demon Sin would have that option already with something like this. Just that most people seem to either not bother, or they forget, or they go with Warsong belt and Cube necklace instead.

    1. if you want to analyze things that detailed please note that with "that sin" i was talking about that particular one not just any sage sin with similar gear in common.

    2. if a r9+12 sage and demon with aps gear and dot sharding compete for aggro its kinda even and they are ping ponging based on who has more dex and crits. thats what i noticed and tested with more than 200 TTs with a friend. so unless you can come up with similar optimal testing results take your sarcasm and shuush to the furry section.

    @Olbaze I guess it's just preference. Or ignorance. XD

    @Spazz I already have a 4 socket 2nd cast bracers in my bank waiting to get +10'd, It's mainly for keeping the 5 attack level bonus with my TT nirvy helm because I'll be switching out the TT nirvy legs with r8r once I +10 them. I just kinda wish I went lunar nirvy from the beginning. Curse my "I'm never gonna be that rich" thoughts back when I was farming for my nirvy dags.

    Which is an interesting note, since upgrading your boots and wrists to G15 Nirvana would grant you access to sharding up to 20 JoSDs, instead of the 12 you could do with TT99s. Not to mention higher life from refines. That would allow Demon sins to do all kinds of scary things.
