Your Thoughts in the new Ray Dau Y armour

[Sir_Kartoffel Hoffnungsvoll]

My thoughts: The armour looks good like you are a fully charge up ray dau, applicable for dynasty warrior style/cosplay. Skill wise its ok if you going all in with damage and a alternate for the gore meta, Jewel slots I don't feel it, its very constricting. I can see this as add on to existing armour rather than a full pledge set.

The set looks (visually) bad, just like the original. I don't even know what it is supposed to look like besides.... scales... ok ? Layered armor ftw.

Stats-wise, the best thing on the armor set is the Group Skill Guts that makes you immune to one-shots and gives you 5% attack permanently until it triggers. Not only this is a permanent moxie meal but if you don't trigger it, it's 5% free attack with basically 100% uptime, which is huge.

So, funnily enough, at least for me, the best way to use the gamma set is ... to not use Latent Power at all lol. Use the gamma head, gloves and legs and use Zoh Shia chest and waist. Filling the sockets with appropriate decos gives you maxxed out Weakness Exploit, Agitator, Stamina Surge, Stun Resistance and 2/3 points in Maximum Might and Evade Extender. Without counting any charm that you might use. Seems well-rounded to me.

You get Guts from the Rei Dau 3-piece and 2-piece Zoh Shia bonuses (healz). The charm slot is free for whatever you want extra. If you use Latent Power charm, you can benefit from the 2-piece Rei bonus for extra duration. Or just put Counterstrike, Constitution, etc. whatever your weapon fancies. Or comfy skills like Wide Range, Speed Eating, etc.

I am still not sure if this is better than 4-piece Zoh Shia or Gore but if it does not beat them, it's pretty close and a worthy contender. And the 1-shot protection might come in handy in future AT monster hunts.

Edit : Oh, and if you are using Greatsword and don't pick up 3-piece Rei Dau Guts, you are not worthy of the weapon, throw it away and pick another weapon lol.

i wish it did something different

[Jaevwyn]

skills are kinda mid honestly, I have made a 3 piece Rey 2 piece Zoh with:
WEX 5
LP 5
Counter Strike 3
MM 3
Elem Absorb 3

i dont see it never outperforming my current 2 zoh 2 gore set but its the best i could see to do with it... the comment above me ignoring LP entirely is probably the way honestly

AT Ray armor blows.

It has next to no slots, and any other armor you wear with deco's can do whatever it does, and more.

The only piece worth mentioning for the AT Ray, is probably the gloves with 2 Deco Slots lvl 3, and evade extender lvl 2 (if you care about that).

Other than the gloves, I can't see myself using any other piece of the armor, because losing, or not having as many slots as I currently do on any other armor set of mine is just not worth it.

I will say this though. The AT Ray armor (female set) does dye pretty well, making it look pretty nice.

Even the thunder Resistance on the full set is kind of trash.

Unless your doing hunts in under two minutes, the 50% affinity it gives is pretty good

Its fine, but affinity isnt really an issue in most sets.

I mean unless your using Gore 4 piece, this is the highest decorationless affinity an armor provides to you. Its literally a gore alternative

After a few test run, with the effect of lord souls you can trigger latent power easily since you have defence down, you mix them with zoh or arkvield depends on the play-style, play it safe or go all in but the ark made it a bit overkill (since you can get 95% affinity with zoh mix + health regen + counter strike), I feel like the armour is a safer version of the Gore Meta overall its a good add on for other armour. Still testing it if it goes well with burst playstyle. (tested with a hunting horn weapon)
