Magian options vs Skystrider

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been covered but just looking for some advice on weapons of choice for someone getting back to the job. Currently I'm rolling with Skystrider. Of course on its own its easily beatable by some of the magian options but I'm looking for advice on what to use if one has the Supremacy earring to boot.

In addition, I have also been using Askar body for DRG. Zahaks was never quite important enough before to warrant the gil but assuming I level to 80, what are the best body options for tp and WS now? Perle?

Thanks :)
Enna

If you've got Rose Strap, grab up Perle. If not, get the STP+8 Stingray and then grab Perle. Work on Oathkeeper, Stribog or OAT Couse if you have Rose Strap.

Skystrider is shit now.

Wrong. It was on par, if not slightly ahead of Thalassocrat. Which was the accepted reasonably attainable top dog before Trial of the Magians (VFork, Gungnir and Ryunohige are by no means "reasonably" attainable).

ITT: Relying on Additional Effect: Evasion Down to cap ACC is a great idea.

Honestly, that's the only way Thalassocrat+Random Earring wins against Skystrider+Supremacy Earring

Wasn't Skystrider + Conte effectively a 5 hit every 3 minutes with the additional +20TP from both jumps?

Yup. Which is why it edged out ahead of Thalassocrat.

Did I say Odin was hard? I said it's not reasonably obtainable. You've got a 1/4 of it being VFork, provided an Odin item drops at all. Take in account only being able to fight Odin once every two weeks provided you have a proper feather rotation and you don't get fucked over in T2 or T3 chambers.

Hell, Ridill isn't even reasonably obtainable. Sure, Fafnir is easy to kill and you can fight him 2/3 fo the time. But you're not guaranteed a claim or it dropping.

EDIT: and before TotM, every dragoon and their mother wanted VFork. Wether they played DRG at all or not.

So, I'm working on the Stingray (Store TP +8 path) for my magian polearm and I'm wondering: Do you think these updates to magian trials soon will add a "Drakesbane +10%" route eventually? And if so, would it be more worth pursuing over the Store TP route, or do you think the sTP route will end up adding even more benefits that will outweigh the drakes damage increase?

Personally, I get the feeling that these STP / WSdmg+10% weapons aren't going to upgrade, but I hope I'll be shown to be way off.

It is not hard but if you go 0/30 on fork, it can take a while. I waited 1.5 years for that fork and it never dropped. I ended up finishing my OAT polearm and never done another einherjar since.
