My current best Ygg run was 28700RP (thanks to Ly, Epi and Jenna) - trying to get much higher seems crazy hard, unless anyone has new tech to bring, the only improvements to make seem to be getting slightly better at timings and getting a better sword. My maths tells me that the best possible sword is the 3 trait RR, second is 3 trait spatha, 3rd is 2 trait Spatha.

  • The one I have is the 3rd best (per my maths) - I think everyone gave up on perfect RRs a long time ago, should I try for the perfect spatha or is it time to settle with what I've got?

  • Also massive irony - my best gear was obtained whilst farming for something else (notably my spatha shown above was from a hermit ictus when I was trying and failing to get the left arm for Plume runs, my guns are from an uncanny mura again killed for left arms)

  • I could improve my build with crit pistols, crit spatha and skell arm, but I'm not really farming anymore. And we're still working on toppler damage.

  • Got my od count dyads II in January farming Balduino for skell gear.

  • I am aware of the skell arm point, assumed it had minimal actual impact if it's just for the extra 800 tp? - still spent an hour farming for it but no joy. Using an estimate on how many SVs I hit my numbers suggest that a 3 trait spatha would improve my RP score by 1.8% or a perfect RR would improve it by 2.8% - so if I'm doing 800 just 200 extra... time may be better spent elsewhere...

  • correction - (meant to say 8000 above) I noticed the point on toppler damage; slightly ironic after Ennea explained at length months ago why it wouldn't be possible to consider DPS'ing as toppler. I still wonder if there could be a completely different style of RP'ing with similar or better results(e.g.I wanted to experiment with 4 Black bane'rs at one point but never got the idea going)

  • We use limbo -> off stance -> cut with od -> bd and 6000 TP are an advantage for that. off stance because of the 10 od seconds.

  • Epi-also another thought on the crit spatha/duals vs weap att spatha-the damage difference only calcs as 0.86% and using the weap atk spatha you get to start slightly faster with the OD count from the duals - probably can do 1or2 extra BDs in the run - so it's probably pretty hard to choose between the two at all. - you've probably already thought of this

  • Ah, I'd been doing limbo->Magnum edge; cut with OD-> BD. Why the off stance instead? - is it somehow faster?

  • Yeah, but crit gun + spatha profits from critical combination sv while weapon spatha needs heatseeker. Skell arm is nice with od guns as well because you can od 2x at start.

  • oh... that makes sense now.... The skell arm is only a 2 trait and the regal version works, so I may farm that up later, thanks

  • My 0.8% diff was calc'd assuming the weap atk spatha was using heatseaker and the crit chance pair were using inner search.

    Yeahs1

  • but both tp and sec cd are rare for skell arms.

  • Didn't think earlier of the critical soul voice helping the crit spatha - i suppose that increases the gap slightly. and good point on the trait rarity... Thanks.
