Dualblade

Help me with my future Db

Hello basilers, i just have a few questions and things I need help clarifying when i make my Dual blade when they are able to be created again

First is just a general damage question. I have 22% luk combined with the full set of empress, dagger is 152 attack and katara is 75 attack. Can i have a rough estimate on what my range will be when im around 165-170 with all the skills maxed (except MW)? And maybe what i will be hitting per line fully buffed with phantom blow

Next is a question about mastery books for Db's, I have most of the 4th job books (Thorns,Dual Wield mastery,Blade Fury). When playing as a Db do you recieve the mastery books for the earlier jobs as you level? I remember after the revamp people received the books when they leveled. Will i have to buy those books (Slash Storm 20,Flying Assaulter, 20,Mirror Image 20,Shadow Meld 20) or will I get them through advancing as a DB?

Lastly regarding Final Cut. Most of the more efficient Dual blades get Azwan Inner potentials to lower the cool down of Final Cut. At what level should i attempt to level up my inner ability (Most likely to level 30 for 2 Lines). Is this something i should do after fourth job or should I try to level it up early to get it out of the way? (Not sure if Azwan is easier at lower levels).

Any Feedback or Helpful advice is appreciated. thank you

[quote=superdada2]ur inner ability should be at 60 when u should start using ur special circs. Feel free to use the crappy ones at 30. I can tell u that from 30-60 i accumulated 700 special circs(dropped 600....). and from 30-60, it took me about 30 days doing 25 runs ea[/quote]

[quote=terminator123]I think you have very similar weapons/equips as me. If you get all your link skills together, by lvl 180, i expect you to have a 45k+ range (that's enough to hit about 200k with f/c maxed and MW 10)[/quote]
Good to know i have all the link skills except Kanna and Hayato. Im halfway with my Kanna at the moment. I have plenty of time I guess since who knows when we can make Db's again. All I know is in Kms they came "back out" when hypers came for Db's. thanks

@ihartz good to know since im was in the dilemma of % Luk vs Empress. Much appreciated

your range would be about 35-40k, i had no empress, 33% luk, a 162 attack gm'd dagger, a 6% damage 71 attack katara, and my range was just below 30k (buffed)

First question: My db has slightly less % luk and about the same attack as yours with full empress and my range with w/o mw is around ~34k and i can hit 100k w/o fc with pb and around 160k with it.

Second question: You will need to buy all the books you listed since there isnt a db event going on atm.

Last question: As soon as you can solo hard mode (which should be around 140 because that when i did it) you can try and get the buff duration ability
I got a 34% buff duration and i didnt keep it... i wasnt thinking...
