CT spam was significantly slower. Especially because it does about damage as stormfire, just with less AoE.
CT is used mainly as a big source of DoT.
A little, but I personally can outplay it. I’ll probably try to do a naked spec out of this one day, in which case I would use defensive items like grey magi’s, and DA augments.
Yes. Significantly better. Because of how aether conversion is split ~50/50 to lightning/cold, and because I have near perfect fire/lightning conversion, spec is basically a cold/lightning build.
Another showcase of this big sword, what an eye candy!
I’ve been working on this sword for some time as well. Not sure why i didn’t post it, probably just got tired from polishing other stuff. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/d2j1j4lN
lots of AoE for a single target build, clears pretty fast for a two-hander autoattack. My time is 6.35. Should be below 6 with actual PC and some skills.
Ultos is weak on res and not anything special overall when used not completed. Fabric basically only gives racial, but aetherials are no problem for the build. Basically the only threat is Grava.
You have to give up Dying God or Korvaak for Ghoul. Not sure if it’s worth it, Mirror seem to be sufficient for the survival. Look at that lol phys res. 53% on good rolls.
I’m not talking about trash. Take Steward for instance. His 50% RD for 5 sec is unavoidable. Lots of other debuffs out there. It’s not like you are killing boss waves in 1 sec.
