I got my first character to 175/60 a couple days ago (thanks to this board for all the build help along the way!), using MA almost exclusively. I really like the class, and now that I've maxed the level, I got to thinking that I'd like to have two GXes - one for RC/CRS and one for crit.

 

Current equips:

 

+10 ME3 Old Bone Circlet / +9 Acute lv. 4 Old Bone Circlet

Imperial Feather

Royal Guard Necklace

+13 Crimson Katar (neutral) with 2x Hunter Fly / +13 Crimson Katar (holy) uncarded (will put AK cards in or buy a +15 holy)

+10 Evil Dragon Armor / +9 Abyss Dress

+9 Immune Heroic Backpack

+7 Enforcer Shoes

Verus Core (Gold Scaraba)

Blacksmith Glove (Gold Scaraba)

+9 Physical/Malicious shadow sets

 

I'll likely use MA to level the second GX again, but once it's leveled will switch it to a crit build. In light of that, I'd appreciate all your help with the following questions:

 

1. What equips do I need to really get rolling with RC/CRS?

 

My current gear would work fine for the most part, but for Bio 5, I was thinking about securing the following:

 

Mettle OBC

Toy Syringe

Holy Abusive Robe (or holy Medical Scrubs or similar? let me know)

Do I need FAW?

What do you guys think about PDM vs. Blacksmith Glove? 

For accessories, Verus Core vs. something else?

 

Thoughts on carding accessories with Gold Scaraba vs. Kafra Blossom for Bio 5?

 

 

2. Can you check this proposed build for katar crit? 

 

+1X Acute lv. 4 Old Bone Circlet (is there a point at which OBC is better than WDEH? Would Acute lv. 5 make a difference in that decision, as opposed to lv. 4?)

Sunnies

Mob Scarf

+15 Crimson Katar (holy) w/ Sidewinder and AK cards

+9 Fatal FAW

+9 Temporal LUK LD/AD

Temporal Ring (Gold Scaraba) 

PDM (Gold Scaraba)

 

STR 114

AGI 100

VIT 80

DEX remainder (30-40 ish?)

LUK 126

INT 1

 

Thank you!

My current gear would work fine for the most part, but for Bio 5, I was thinking about securing the following:

 

Mettle OBC .honestly i'd go for adamantine instead. since mettle only affects weapon atk

Toy Syringe .seraphim + toy syringe is good. new wave sunnies + toy syringe is good too. 

Holy Abusive Robe (or holy Medical Scrubs or similar? let me know) get holy cons robe instead.

Do I need FAW? .if you're going for CRS, then yes. EA FAW is good. but you also need to sometimes switch so it's not a default garment. 

What do you guys think about PDM vs. Blacksmith Glove? .if you care about the delay, BSG is the way to go. since this october they will change the effect of enforcer shoes (possible to get the nerfed effect back) you wont be needing the PDM's 100% def pierce

For accessories, Verus Core vs. something else? .verus core is already good enough. since you dont have a phreeoni+wings combo, you wont be able to hit agi up'd monsters if you dont have this. 

 

Thoughts on carding accessories with Gold Scaraba vs. Kafra Blossom for Bio 5? .test the waters. if you can survive everything there except earthquake, you wont be needing KBC. go for extra damage. if you cant outpot the other elemental damage, go for KBC

 

 

2. Can you check this proposed build for katar crit? 

 

+1X Acute lv. 4 Old Bone Circlet (is there a point at which OBC is better than WDEH? Would Acute lv. 5 make a difference in that decision, as opposed to lv. 4?) .acute lvl 3 is already better than +11 eddga

Sunnies

Mob Scarf .unless you have LK card, better get gambler set 

+15 Crimson Katar (holy) w/ Sidewinder and AK cards 

+9 Fatal FAW

+9 Temporal LUK LD/AD

Temporal Ring (Gold Scaraba) 

PDM (Gold Scaraba)

 

STR 114

AGI 100

VIT 80

DEX remainder (30-40 ish?) .you dont even need to put dex if you're purely crit. pump other stats like str for more damage or vit for more survivability. 

LUK 126

INT 1

 

Thank you!

 

i suggest save up for a JDR or farm it in SF.

Awesome, thanks, man! I'm quite far away from a JDR... but will try farming it myself. My main source of income has been buying and reselling, which is reliable but will take some time to build up the zeny needed for that kind of item. I'll need to figure out some other ways to earn money quick.

 

Some quick follow-ups on RC/CRS:

  1. In recommending Seraphim Coronet, I assume you're suggesting pushing my INT to 120 as well? 
  2. Mettle OBC vs. Adamantine - how does weapon ATK affect RC/CRS, as opposed to pure ATK? Adamantine does look compelling, though.
  3. Aside from FAW, what other garments do you find yourself switching to in Bio 5?

To clarify - are you suggesting Mettle might be more viable than Adamantine?

 

I understand wATK is preferable to general ATK, but since it's smaller and the increase works on a percentage basis, would the Mettle increase be significant enough for RC/CRS to outweigh the HP/DEF increase from Adamantine?

up to personal preference

getting more hp is useless if you don't actually need it
same goes to damage.

Just got my second GX to 175/60, so took about a week start to finish (really wanted to grind it out before the pirate event ends and I lose the free BM x3s). Also snagged a FAW, which is +9 EA9 for now.

 

I'm still like 10b off from gearing up my katar crit GX (Gambler's seal set + Temporal Ring + Temporal LUK Boots LD/AD + maybe Fatal FAW), so that's on hold for now... will focus on trying to farm items.

You are getting there man! Keep it up! If time and strength permits, make another GX!

Thanks, man, I appreciate you! I really like the class. No clue what build I'd aim for with a third GX, but I honestly like the leveling process itself and I could see it happening.

 

It's weird to have the leveling process end and simultaneously feel like the game's just starting, with all the end-game content I've never gotten around to until now.

 

If I go hard on another class, I think it'll be an AB, strangely enough. Something a bit different from GX with a huge, widely used skill pool and (eventually) a party focus. I've got an FS high priest from 2008/2009 that's sitting at 99/70, so all I'd have to do is run the AB job change quest and figure out how to level the thing without just turn-ins. Regardless, I won't bother with that until I've got these two GXs set up.

For a third GX it will be a good mix of the two. I have only one GX and this is what I did XD. The RC/CRS/CI build can do some crits if the need arises with the right balance of gears.
