a fellow FA from another country asking for tips ^^

[wancho]

hello everyone. im an FA from the Philippines. first of, im not too familiar with FA.. a friend of mine gave me his account with complete set (he quits cabal).. however im being confused which orb to use. here is my stat and setup.

FA - lvl180
stat: str 113 ; int 999 ; dex 227

set:
helm: +9 TG Helm of DB 36% CDI
gloves:+9 osm battle 7%msa
boots: +9 osm battle 7% msa
suit: +9 osm battle 7%msa / 2% max crit rate.

acce:
Ring of Sage +10, +9 (2pcs), merga ring
BOS +6 2pcs
AOP+5
Epu of Sage+7
Drosnin earing

ORBS. (this part im having a hard time to decide. letter a and c i already have, thinking of taking letter b, but i want to ask for your tips before buying letterb)
a) +14 Lapiz DB 7% CRI , 28% CDI (2pcs. the one we got from an event. cant be extended anymore, binded)
b) +8 mithril orb (i think you call it forci) 20% CDI (2pcs)
c) +10 mith orb 7%msa (2pcs)

could anyone please help me which orb to choose.. ^_^ i would really and highly appreciate your tips.. im more of a warrior type but im having fun with FA and i might as well focus on FA. ^^

holy fuk damn lucky...

since the lapis seems to be a decent grade(+14) and allows you to use 3 dmg rings.. i'd use the lapis until you were able to replace that rate by using a 40/7 or so helm.. then aim for mith 2 slot. but try to plus it a bit higher than 8

im no FA or anything nor do i know how +14 lapis compares to +8-11ish mith but yeah.

what im thinking is, to use the lapiz DB and buy 2 more ROS+10 which makes 3 ros+10 (i already have 1 ros+10) and the merga ring and to buy AOP+6 adding more CDI. however the base m.attack of mith orb is higher than the lapiz orb. will the base m.attack means alot compared to the CDI advantage of the lapiz orb db? oh one more thing, im also planning to buy the K-series board for additional cri and magic amp...

+8 mith orb attack: 140
m.attack: 171
attack rate : 659
20% CDI
+14 lapiz DB attack: 138
m.attack: 162
attack rate: 580
7% crit rate
28% CDI

I would probably sell the +10 Forcy orbs.
If you can afford it, go for a +11 Forcy 20% CD set, and that would most likely beat your Lapis Orbs, depending on the magic difference (I've never had +11 Forcys)
If not, the Lapis orbs you have now are just fine.They've got about the same magic as a +7 Forcy, so keep that in mind when thinking about the magic attack difference.

Lastly, I'm surprised he's level 180 and didn't already have a K-Red!
Must have

i would go for mith(forcium) orb +11,lapis doesn't really help a lot(well for me) forcy m amp.helps me in dungeons and pvp, i do more damage with m amp in both pvp and pve....if ur confused i would go both types try a mix build....but +11 or 12 forcium(mith) orb is greater than lapis. remember FA need amp

[SukiNanda]

Amp/Amp orbs = dungeon/pve build

Cdi/Amp | Cdi/Cdi orbs = war/pvp build

Not to say Amp/Amp is bad for pvp, but having a Cdi orb is better for pvp.

Considering all are forcium, amp = 7%, cdi = 20%, assuming all orbs are the same plus. (10 or higher)

At least from what I've seen.

What he said...just go 20dmg orb forcium and forcium(mith) orb +11 both
