so which is better, r9 gives def and stuff but so does 3rd cast and 3rd has more base def + it gives the % more of p def and m def. Just asking which is better for tanking and attack in general since wep gives 40 attack lvl. + the 3rd cast gives like 5 bonuses

    well if you think you will never upgrade the r9 (2nd or 3rd recast), 3rd cast NV would be better IMO.
    Why? Because it costs way cheaper than r9 and it has more def (i havent checked this but you said it does)
    the only minus is that its gonna take awhile before you get the full set. And there's not a lot of people in wc forming a squad so you'll need to run with ur guild or friends. Otherwise its almost impossible to get the whole set

    Sorry to ask but... is this a joke ? I already have 4-5 ppl in my fac/FL who do have the full set of nirvy 3rd cast... And many more who have several pieces. I don't know about your server, but on mine you can see ppl forming full warsongs all day long, it's really not that hard to get in, granted you can solo a pav. Ofc, you can"t cashshop nirvy 3rd cast cause you need untradable molds and badges that you only get by actually running full warsongs and lunars. Ofc, if you're a lazy cashshopper, you can always try to find someone who has the mold and enough badges that is willing to craft for you at a fee. But good luck if you're waiting for someone to craft it for you. Just go earn it in warsong and lunar, you'll see you can get full set much faster this way. All you need is time and... time xD (and some money for the forge's fee, but that's not much) It'll only take long if you can't play alot or are too lazy to run warsong and lunar.

    LC server is more empty than some PvE servers.

    R9 has more possibilities because its set leaves the hat and cape slots free, thus allowing you to have Nirvana's hp set bonus as well.

    was full nirvy casts 1-2 weeks after patch. now there's actually many with it.

    good alternative i'd say, pretty cheap.

    Actually im not joking, I've NEVER seen anyone wc for full warsong since i came back last week. Maybe ppl only wc when im not on, but im in game from 2-6hrs everyday (with afks in between) so if ppl were asking for squad I think I should see at least 1 everyday but I dont.

    I see a few WC everyday on LC with people looking to run full WS.
    All generalizations are false, including this one.

    Warsong is fun indeed, I hate defending though, only because it's the most annoying/boring part of the instance.

    I got the Nirv axe mold, which I'm not really sure what to do with it yet, since I'm not R9 yet. Been seeing loads of swords and pole/pike molds the last 4 runs though.

    I'm also annoyed that The Incacerate drops both Nirv and R9 molds, I was under the impression that Lunar dropped r9 molds and WS only dropped Nirv molds for weapons for some reason at first.

    I still need the fist/claw mold QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ.
