FB gear discussion

for any item in the game. after +6 all the base stats stay the same. So just set your stats for +6 forci blade/ gears, which you hardly have to even try to do, and you're set. Dex is generally preferred bcs more def rate. FB don't have low def. I have 988 def and I use mixed gear, but all battle type. Granted my helm is = +7 forci as an osm.
For the "go all cdi" you are only partially correct. It would be advisable to get cd weapons, but personally, rof9 give better benefits if you have amp glove+boot+suit as the added atk and def are very nice. As 170, I use 4 of them and gain 64 def and 40 atk, and only have 20% less cd than using all cr+1s. Def allows you to take hits better and atk helps you amp. Ideal cd/amp goal is 150%/50% anything above that in both those is extra. I say that because that is close to the balance point for FB.
As i stated in another thread like this, I've tested with both extremities(203% cd and 72% amp) and the middle ground is around 150/50.

Dex gives more def now from .125 to .15, and you guys are idiots you if you think there is an actual/noticeable difference from stating for blade or katana. Just use w/e sword is stronger because 340 str (for +11 forcium blade) isn't going to ruin anything.

agreed, at higher lvls the loss will be unnoticeable. the noticeable part would be if you went full str build and completely f-d yourself up.

if u wish to combo cannons. which i don't.

LoL
what i'd say.........
for the pic of full dex and full STR overthere...
U got 5 more Att higher than Dex build but lose LOT OF magic, att rate and def rate = Bm1 failed (for u, learn how FB bm1 works 1st then cm)
STR FB'd be good in pvp (5att higher lol)
Scks in PK, war, blah blah blah...........compared to Dex FB =))

don't keep moving on this topic cuz all FBs will come and LOL

I think you mean +7

[Rockstar]

I think you mean +7

Probably +7, I don't know what it is.


Either way you're only comparing 68 points, 340 str (blade) - 272 str (katana)

68 * .125 (def gain per str) = 8.5 def
68 * .15 (def gain per dex) = 10.2 def
68 * .1 (magic per str) = 6.8 magic
68 * .25 (magic per dex) = 17 magic
68 * .1 (def rate per str) = 6.8 def rate
68 * 1.0 (def rate per dex = 68 def rate
68 * .24 (atk per str) = 16.32 atk
68 * .23 (atk per dex) = 15.64 atk

dex gives 1.7 def, 10.2 magic, 61.2 def rate
str gives .68 atk

Cannot compare other factors such as armor pieces such as forcium because it will raise your int.

TL;DR - Doesn't make a difference, stop acting like it does.

If perfectionists don't have every stat/gear/skill just right, they consider themselves a failure. So yes, to some, it DOES make a difference.

Until you're 180 with gear like rockstar has, you're not a perfectionist.

What does he have that can compare to my +15 40DB redosm blade?

lol.

I'm scared of your 1.7def and 10 magic too.

[Valdoroth]

oh no! a +15 redosm 40%, we're all doomed. I think imma aim for 1k atk, 1k def, 170% cd and 70% amp. Figure that'll be enough to make me satisfied to quit. Doubt I'll ever get there though b4 i quit haha.
