Actually been waiting for somebody to post some results of using these new and shiny OCP gears for AS Ranger and also Severe Rainstorm Maestro/Wanderer. I've been scouring through the forum couple of times but couldn't see anything worthwhile lol. Probably because most ranger switch to Crit/ASPD build for endgame rather than just purely AS build hence not bothering with Seraphim since Mob scraf is better(?). Though, it would be nice to see some veterans of the screenshot of the testing and comparison between difference accessories /headgear. Perhaps switching from Luminous Blue Stone to Emerald Ring is better now for ASPD build? And and, sorry I couldnt post mine as I couldn't afford it >_<
Thanks in advance!
I have summed it up a few times in the other threads, however I will do it one last time here.
Seraphim is good for Aimed Bolt, Arrow Storm and Trapper Ranger; it is no good for ASPD/CRIT/WARG.
The trade for any twin set of middle/lower combos is usually that you miss out on cards (Mob Scarf combo is the exception, and Imperial Set covers two nice ailment immunities); and seraphim literally gives you nothing good apart from the ATK.
So with Seraphim out of the way, let's talk about Emerald Ring.
Emerald Ring does not beat the Luminous Blue Stone for ASPD/CRIT/WARG; therefore the only way for it to be good for this build is if you own a Memory of Thanatos Card; since then you can drop Peverse Demon Mask/Blacksmith Gloves for it.
The exact same argument applies to Arrow Storm, only swap out Luminous Blue Stone for White Wing Brooch; as you need this to complete the set.
The ring is however really good for Aimed Bolt builds and Trapper builds. An Aimed Bolt build would use ONE Perverse Demon Mask (subject to the MOT rule again); and then, choose between Fairy Leaf Powder and Emerald Ring; I personally would go for Emerald Ring over FLP though so. A trapper build would run exactly ONE Emerald Ring and ONE Perverse Demon Mask.
I hope this clears things up.
