So for a UA hero, is brandish/intrepid even worth it?

I mean soul driver + combat mastery + advanced combo adds up to a spammable 2000% attack that ignores 40% enemy defense unless I'm reading it wrong.


What would be a good UA fighter/sader/hero build?

Naturally, pure STR all the way, but still.

I was originally going to be a page, but my friend justin is taking that path, and my friend sky is taking the spearman route, so that leaves me with the fighter.

Soul Driver is WAY slower that IS/Brandish.

If you are only training/mobbing then yeah Soul > IS/Brandish

But for bossing Soul driver just plain suck.

That is, except for Zakum arms, depending on how you go about doing it, of course. Intrepid Slash has a horrible vertical range, so Soul Driver could be used in places like Zakum where Intrepid Slash will hit 2, maybe 3 arms at once, whereas Soul Driver can hit 4 easily.

max combo first in 3rd job for sure, after that wont matter a whole lot, personally i'd max everything but mp recovery but cases can be mad for maxing this and leaving something else at lvl 11(max magic crash 100% as well)

4th job- advanced combo first, then you can do combat mastery, stance, enrage, intrepid in whatever order you want. I'm no good with the math, but i think i would do combat mastery after aca, then do stance/intrepid and enrage last. Reasoning behind this, i figure intrepid has to be better than SD on small mobs which are very common in LHC.

I was talking about General Bossing. And zak arms is one of the few places in bossing where SD > IS.

For pure 1-target bossing output, assuming you have maxed Brandish (or something else better),
Adv Combo -> Enrage -> Combat Mastery -> Intrepid/Stance
Intrepid's a decent damage boost over Brandish, but not as big as ACA/Enrage's on 1 target. And Combat Mastery's so few points anyway, that it's good for the bosses with decent def.

Thanks guys, this cleared up a lot of confusion on my end. ^^

Also, I was dicking around with my bluescreamer that i have on my dawn warrior, I used a 70% potential scroll on it and it came out three lined

I then dropped 3 enhancements on it that i got as drops and they all worked

anyway, should i cube it for a few weapon attack lines?

It's 115att 6str now.
pretty decent for a level 80 weapon.

I'd drop some cubes on it. Just go for your first w.atk boost. You could get plenty of use out of that weapon. And its resell should cover the cost of a few cubes pretty easily.

As for your build, when i finish my dw and start my fighter, i'm planning on dropping brandish. It's not a pre-req for intrepid and intrepid beats it pretty early. so if you're doing more lhc or that type of mobbing at early levels, get it earlier, if not, don't.

FML just realized character gender is passed on. female UA FTL. I guess i should say i would've dropped brandish had i not made the mistake i made. No more UA hero for me haha such a fail.

Heh same thing really. I had a look for a female tb that I wanted to make but I wanted my ua to be a dude. Sucks, but I'll just make it since it took fricken time to get there >.>

i has male gears. my DW is my only female character. Name: TheUglyDawn. I made her hideous.
