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.

    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.
