How do I improve my formation?
by larry378 Thu Mar 28, 2013 11:17 am
Have:
raminas/banish/moonc(dea)/kanna/venus
obviously going to replace venus with ash at some point.
that'll leave me with one 20bp unskilled kanna, which will be a "weak link" in the formation.
My thoughts at the moment are;
wingarm is cheap. with this new dark trap 37bp cov ded wingwyrm, wingarm will be even cheaper.
and the bright side? I don't need to even skill it up, my banish is (20), and I'll keep him high in the attack order so his skill is the one that counts; and wingarm will be a stat improvement over kanna (no functional skill difference)
am I missing any superior alternatives for a 5th member?
sure there's frozen silver and vanity, and the new full moon, but those are probably extremely cost inefficient compared to wingarm as a strict stat upgrade. (although I DO like the idea of a psy down wingwyrm. as a sin player, that could be pretty handy, but I have no doubt that full moon is going to end up being vanity/anna expensive)
TLDR Version: what is best possible 5th member for ash/raminas/banish/moonc(dea) ? I'm sin but not worried about guild combo since i need raminas anyways and 2/5 of the existing sin wyrms are ones that I already have and want to replace. I briefly considered a full sin form with skillchanges, (would need dea AND ipd) but decided against it since venus and kanna are kinda weak monsters in general.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Horg if you are reading this: sorry for dea-ing the moonc, but at least I'm running 5xAA like you suggested!

You could trade your Moon Sea (DEA) for a Wingarm (DEA) and get yourself another Moon Sea. That way you can have five skills. Then pray one day A-Team will releases a 45bp Cypher Wyrm with Health Up just in time for their Wyrm down monster.

well... I don't see why that trade would be necessary
Ash/Raminas/Banish/Moonc(dea)/Wingarm
and
Ash/Raminas/Banish/Moonc/Wingarm(dea)
would be identical in stats and skill distro (I don't consider crit to be a skill)
But I am looking forward to a health up wyrm. sin hasn't got any wyrms in a while, and covert just got what? a 37bp ded, and 42bp psycho down; ON TOP of having vanity since that came out.

I'm hoping I can get those but I doubt it. My Rancor account has low ep to try to rank. Maybe in the AH but it will be expensive and there won't be any regs so the price will be high.

what's team efficiency?
I was working on trying to make some sort of form rating system, but it's far from done (in spoiler below, warning did not format nicely when copied from excel and pasted into post.

No wonder they didn't look familiar. I assume those stats are just estimates then?

That covert wyrm formation makes me melt inside. It breaks my heart that I will never be able to have it.
