Hello everyone,
I'm a returning player working towards my first max lvl toon. I have a RC/CRS hybrid crit GX, and am wondering if it is worth it (or even possible with my stuff) to buy a JDR, or keep chugging along with my +13 Neutral/Fire Katars/+13 Holy double AK Katar.
Here are the stats of my GX:
Base Lvl: 167 Job Lvl 58
Str 93 + 30 = 123 Atk 230 + 779 Def 173 + 186
Agi 118 + 30 = 148 Matk 152 +250 Mdef 122 + 5
Vit 90 + 31 = 121 Hit 515 Flee 494 + 19
Int 1 + 30 = 31 Critical 41 Aspd 190
Dex 90 + 38 = 128
Luk 81 + 39 = 120
Gear:
Upper Head +9 Vanargand Helm [1] (Marduk card)
Middle Head Diabolus Wing [1] (clean)
Lower Head Tengu Scroll
Weapon +13 Crimson Katars (as above, Fire/Neutral w/hunter fly or Holy w/AK)
Garment +9 Heroic Backpack (Orc Baby card)
Accessory 1 Fenrir Chain [1] (Gold Scaraba card)
Accessory 2 Perverse Demon Mask [1] (clean)
Armor +9 Diabolus Armor (Marc card)
Boots +9 Diabolus Boots (Firelock soldier card)
+1 ASPD costume garment, +7 Breeze shadow armor, and Malicious shadow set
I'm sitting at 74k HP and 1500 SP, and generally am very comfortable leeching enough HP without needing any pots.
On paper, JDR is sexy as hell, but playing on iRO Thor, they exist but are pretty friggin rare. I have OCP stuff saved up, but even then people with JDRs probably already have most of that stuff.
Ultimately, my goal once I hit max level is to slap the çrap out of MVPs like fenrir, Stephen JE Wolf et al with impunity, and also to farm for good vicious mind gear, and other instances like OGH. For those purposes, hybrid RC/CRS and crit seem to be a reasonable way to go.
So far, I'm able to do OGH comfortably with my current setup without needing any pots, but for the every 3 days I'm able to fight Stephen I generally need to get resurrected once as I kill him so slowly, and one of the instadeath earthquakes inevitably gets me.
So in summary, will this setup be even better with JDR? Is it worth the hassle of trying to buy one?
Thank you to all you veterans who help us newbs out!
P.S. I have a FAW with fatal enchants as well, but I like the myriad bonuses from the HBP for now. I have okay daggers too with a gambler's set, but I'm not too confident in my piloting skills so I don't know how good I'd be at taking advantage of the 3x3 splash damage for mob farming.
