Hello everyone, I just was hoping to get some advice on what homunculus would be best for me and my purposes.

 

I currently am making a dedicated brewer gene and chose vanil for the base (for the pharmacy boost) but I'm unsure what Homunc S to choose after that.

 

Also, with the upcoming intimacy event, I'm thinking about making another alch in order to get an Eleanor for PvP. Is there a "best homunculus base" for making a PvP Eleanor? 

 

Thanks.

I'd do vani->sera for sure on the brewer. Once it got painkiller, you could contribute to party on TI even if your offensive capability was lousy (though it probably won't be that bad if you stack offensive gear on it, which you can get away with in painkiller. 

 

Amistr is best base for endgame content - it's really hard to beat the +vit for the owner from bulwark in terms of usefulness. Unfortunately, they're also a bit harder to level, and an ami->eleanor will have even worse SP problems than usual for Elly.  

 

I'm not convinced an Eleanor is even spectacularly good in PVP (certainly not in WoE - Dieter is better there).

1vs1 Eleanor beats Dieter 9/10 times when in combo mode though. The HP / SP drain is quite nice, and the mini-gfist** ( 18k+ on a fully decked out WoE sura last I tested it) that seems to ignore all reductions can far outweigh the DPS you can put out with your genetic when the other can't use skills.  WoE wise, yeah volcanic ash is way better for skill using mob control.  

 

 

** for RK / RG ETC ( especially tao'd) that have higher max HP the damage will be more, the mini-gfist does 80K+ on miming since the max HP- homun max HP is greater.
