To cube or not to cube

Im thinking of cubing my weapon. It's sitting on 50% boss for main pot, and 15% attack for bonus pot. I'm wondering if I should recube the main pot because atm I'm at 258% (it'd be 208% if I get rid of the 50%)

Recube emblem for att% and pdr. TD is a terrible trap by nexon </3 it looks like it raises your range alot but in reality it sucks. I would recube your weapon though if you only have 50%boss and no other good line. You can almost get that much on one line of legendary pot. Recube for like 70%boss or 21%att.

Cube the emblem for ignore/ att%. TD % = bad unless its a random 3rd "good" line <3

To cube or not to cube, that is the question. Whether 'tis.... sounds like a modern day ms Shakespeare
Oh god, what has our world come down to.

[quote=looniemunki]My emblem is
main potential: 21% tot. dmg, 40% pdr
bonus potential: 21% attack

My 2ndary is
main potential: 40% boss 12% attack
bonus potential: 15% attack

I really want to be able to solo hell gollux, but atm I feel like I won't have the dps to finish off the forehead part[/quote]

I forget if Emblem can have %Atk (I know it can't have %Boss), but %Total is never a good line. much much better to switch to %Atk. depending on if you want to do CVellum, you may want another %Ignore line to get 90+%

It's a toss-up between recubing your emblem and weapon.

If your weapon is unique rank, going for two lines of PDR on your emblem would be more effective than whatever potentials you could get on the weapon. Your damage on regular monsters would drop, but would have an easier time cutting through bosses with high PDR.

If your weapon is legendary rank, shoot for 3L boss/att/pdr %.

I think you should be able to already finish off the jewel if the rest of your gear is on-par with your listed potentials, before doing any recubing.
Do you have:
>superior gollux set (4)
>20/25% boss nebulites on sword/essence
>3 or 4 tyrants, each with 7 stars or more?

Minimum damage to clear the jewel on a solo run is about 23m Gigas on the jaw, or 20m on the jewel. Make sure to use Stone Dragon to kill the mobs, and use WingBeat/Tempest strategically ^_^

[quote=simfel]What are your potentials on secondary and emblem? We can't recommend anything certain without those details

Would also help to know the damage you end up wanting to hit, and on what (CHT? Chaos Vellum? Regular mob?), but not as crucial as the first question.[/quote]

Hows your secondary and emblem? If not great, do those first.

depends on how many cubes you have and what your aiming for.
