Need violet cube advice

I'm not really sure what I should do with a 100k budget for violet cubes. My emblem only has 35% pdr and 6% att on it at the moment so I'm definitely going to try to cube over that. My secondary potential is pretty good but I was wondering if it was worth it to try to get attack of boss instead of 40% pdr and try to land 65% pdr on my emblem. Likewise, not sure if it's worth violet cubing my weapon to try to get attack instead of dex on the final line, or should I cube my other equips for more %dex? (lowest % is 15% right now)

[quote=klytta]@the21stspartan You know what's probably throwing it all off... is because you're excluding %TTD values. 177% before %TTD, rank 3 gloves is another 10% TTD, Kanna link skill is 10% more. DA is another 10% TTD. Your hyper passive boost is another 20% TTD. All passive skill % Enhancements outside of a Job Advancement step up of the same skill would count as well.
The hyper skill boost is not a true %TTD value, because it relates to a single skill. Therefore it's a outside value of %Damage, but it's still something to consider regarding bossing.

I'd say your goal for %Boss after all this cubing would be to have between 100-140% boss strictly on main weapon pots. The rest would be best as %attack of course.[/quote]

Ah I see... hopefully things work out for me tonight. Thanks for all the help!

Well not including the weapon's potential I have:
30% from superior gollux set
30% from cra set
30% from fafnir weapon passive
25% + 20% from 2 boss nebs
15% from demon slayer link
9% from 3 s rank cards
3 + 3% from kanna and demon slayer cards
15% from dojo gloves
As far as I know the only other options I have are getting 20% boss on IA or getting my demon slayer to 210... neither of which are very easy. I don't think wind archer gets any %boss from buffs or skills. On the other hand wind archer is supposed to get a buff on reboot that gives them significantly more boss, so maybe it won't be as much of a problem for me then?

Nothing really wrong with that 2ndary pot. The other two can be cubed for sure.

@the21stspartan Even with no %boss on weapons you should be exceeding 17x% I believe. LF>One of those people who does all the boss sources lists.
Definitely need to reach 270-340% ish. But that won't be achieved just with weapons you must be missing something.

I guess I'd advise the following. Get TWO %PDR lines on the emblem + helpful 3rd line. Once you have these you can then cube your main weapon for a 65%+ boss pot with a %attack 3rd line.
After that... because you now have two %PDR lines on the emblem you can go ahead and cube the 2ndary for between 1-3 lines of attack with the others being %boss.
So basically what you said in the post is rather on point.

Thanks for the replies. One thing I'm worried about is if I land good % ATT lines on my weapon because without the potential on my bow I'm only at 177% boss </3 In that case would I have to recube my secondary for boss?

Cube emblem~>bow~>2ndary in that order and if you're using a tyrant glove that's already legendary, aim for 1~2 lines of min/max crit.

Recubing 2 lines of %stat is a waste still since the final damage increase isn't exactly significant. (it's a good idea if you're done with bpot, nebs and want to break 30k stats)

Definitely recube the emblem as you stated, I would aim for 55-80% Pdr and a line of % ATT. Then I would cube the secondary and aim for 21% ATT and another good line. The Weapon, I would aim for two lines of boss and one line of ATT. Thats if you are a perfectionist and want your three most important items to be perfect in their regular potentials.
