For Guillotine and Insurgency the -3 INT/MND are very unlikely to effect your damage, as they are unlike to reduce you INT/MND enough to reduce your WSC (due to the low mods on these WS)

For Spiral hell and the top GS weapons skills then the -3 INT/MND is likely to reduce your WSC by 1.

For Guillotine it very roughly comes down to (assuming accuracy isn't a concern):
If attack capped Ares > Onyx > Black
If attack isn't capped Onyx > Ares = Black

Capping attack is only going to happen on weaker mobs and even then it would require quite good buffs.

Yeahhh.....basically This ^

Well I have SAM and WAR at 75 as well.
So where I'll use DRK is most likely merit mobs and Salvage/Nyzul.
And in those places my attack will deffinetly be capped!

Well as Argettio mentioned, you would still need buffs etc, that is true, but....since you even mentioned that you don't even plan on buying Onyx cuisses, might as well use your Ares legs over Black Cuisses since you already have Ares's,

and you have them for WAR as well.... save inventory space etc.

after reading this topic i was wondering: how do aurum cuisses fit into drk WS? or would i be better getting a pair of black cuisses instead? onyx is out of the question as im a bit low on funds.

We're talking about capped Acc situations.
I'd say that Bahram's > Aurum > Ares's > Everything else if acc is uncapped.

Aurum Cuisses's role in DRK Scythe WSs like Guillo and Insurgency, is in a "High ACC" WS set...so for situations where you could really use the acc+7 from Aurum legs...(where would you need such a set? well THF mamool comes to mind and other evasive mobs that you might be fighting with a Scythe)

I personally use Askar dirs on my "High ACC" WS set, since I do not have Bahram Cuisses, or Heca legs, or Aurum legs (However considering the stats in Aurum legs and Askar legs, I'd say Aurum legs and Askar legs are "roughly about equal" in the situations where they are useful)

So, IMO... on your High ACC WS set: (if you make a high acc WS set...which can help you in some situations...)

Bahram Cuisses > Heca legs > Askar legs = Aurum legs

And...on your Regular WS set:

(the one you should be using most of the time if the rest of your WS gear is good and/or you have merits in your weapon too, so acc is not an issue....that is, capped or very High acc on what you're fighting already)

Onyx legs > Ares's legs = Black cuisses > Heca legs (maybe heca legs > or = Black Cuisses depending on your attack but specially depending on if the acc+6 from heca legs is doing anything for you etc.)


But to be more direct in answering your question, definitely get the Black cuisses, they will be your best bet most of the time. (Aurum legs is for high acc set only. if necessary)

Ares's serves it's purpose as Acc legs too.
On the set I intend to use the +6 DEX are what help me get to almost the same acc as my TP set.

Yes, you're right... I completely forgot about Ares's Dex+6 lol... Ok so they give you acc+4 (dex+6 X 0.75 = 4.5..FFXI rounds down to 4 acc if you just count the Dex from ares legs alone...).

I guess on the "High acc WS set", they would "probably" go somewhere behind Heca legs....

And I think the rest has already been discussed.
