So I finally managed to obtain a Unique IA and need some advice regarding what to do with it.
My aim is for a minimum of 25% critical rate so that I'll have 100% critical rate, aside from that my class is a Phantom and my range's ~630k buffed with 176% boss, what would be the best way to:
1) Get more honor to lock lines?
2) Make use of the other two lines?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
On unique the highest crit rate attainable is 20
The other two lines can be anything along the lines of buff duration, att speed (for whenever you aren't using hurricane-esque skills ie training), item drop, and boss
The best way to get honor in the long run is... to train; yea, it sucks, but you can do daily bosses too
Doesn't MSEA still have access to Azwan supply mode? If so, do that.
We still have it, but it only gives about 100 Honor per run.Quote:

On that note, how much range would I need to take on Aswan Hell mode? It seems possibly doable with AB's level 2 link skill but it'll probably be months before my equips are fully re-scrolled for maximum damage. :f7:
I don't recall Azwan hell mode being too difficult if you can hit beyond 1m.
IMO, the best bet is Miracle Circulator. I got to Legendary in just less than 10 tries on 3 characters.
Also, Miracle Circulator gives maximum stats of each line.
That's just luck. The same luck from using honor exp. Except one uses money and one doesn't. Seems like a no brainer to me.Quote:

I always get max stat. I don't think it is just luck. Unless you are trying to get certain line.
Stats etc. are locked to their tiers, so there isn't a variable range within a stat tier anymore.
It's painful to lock Unique and Legendary, but it's much more painful to lose those ranks.

Miracle circs always give max of the stats in the tier the line is (ie buff duration on an epic tier line will always be 25% with miracle circs, whereas it can be anywhere from 18 to 25 with honor)
Luck comes in because despite that, there are many many garbage lines that remain
Only circulators (in-game and miracle) follow that logic, using honor to reset allows for some variance, but with a smaller range than before.Quote:

I'd rather not use cash circulators haha, so it seems the best way would be to save circulators from Black PB as a backup and get crit + boss + %drop/buff/Attack until I can upgrade to legendary.
Which brings me to my next question! Some people have said that Attack stats from IAs don't stack with ATT%, is this true?
I think so. It's a long way back since I saw the calculations though, but 20WA really means 20WA, not 20+2WA even if you have 10%ATT.Quote:

For most other players, unfortunately the best ones are still +1passive, +1IAS, %cr, %boss and %BD (or if you're farming, %drop and %meso).Quote:

On that note, do all %drop rates stack together? Asking because Final Judgement Draw + Showdown + drop % IA could yield some interesting results.Quote:
