ohh elders please show me your wisdom once again!

mansonloo

so as i mentioned, seeing that ur asking this question, i can tell that silver is ur major concern. using silver wisely and having the sufficient flow of silver from ES and Ryoka will eventually decide ur end game ranking. having said that, i will tell u that, having the best PVE team (at the moment) is ur best direction, at least until level 100.

here's a list of what u should do first:

• use all silver to collect enough gold reishi for IKKAKU. he is one of the best damager for PVE. with a full mod, u will be using him until level 100~110. as for all tavern partners, only ishida can outshine him. tavern kenpachi is good too but still lose out slightly to a fully mod ikkaku. so he is a must have and the first to recruit when u reach level 80. ikkaku will replace ur grimmjow for pve.
• fortify weapons to the max! others can be fortified according to ur preference, since ur rank 1 in arena, u dont have too much concern other than HMA or CSB. but if u can do well in PVE, eventually u will have a beastly team for PVP.
• get ur reiatsu up to level 40 and get hogyoku-kai for ur sogyo. remember to use 8th skill with sogyo.
• mod mod mod! dont forget to mod ur tavern renji. those % of attack and crit rate counts for something!
• im not forgetting KISUKE here. ur already running rukia in ur PVE team, so recruiting kisuke comes ONLY after u get ikkaku. rukia and kisuke should go last after assaulters if u do not have t1 for ur team. this will ensure ur assaulters skill every other round.
  

on a side note, here some facts u can consider:

• tavern renji's damage is better than shin grimmjow.
• shin grimmjow is good for pve and better than tavern kenpachi only when it is upgraded to pantera grimmjow at level 100.
• dark rukia's buff stacks with sogyo's.
• nanao's buff overwrites sogyo's.
• put ikkaku above ur main in ur lineup formation so that he gets that extra turn from 8th skill.
• removes all dodge stones during PVE and while running 0-3-2 formation.
• all block stones should be distributed equally among all assaulters during PVE.
• u do not need hit rate, agility or stamina spirit stones for PVE.
• put in break defense spirit stones when u swap ur VG's gear to ur assaulters.
  

this is all i can share with u. hope u'll have a blast!

Sorry for writing so much, just didn't want to repeat question after question.  I'm vip1, i don't ha ...

go 1-3-1 for better dmg. ur VG can only tank max 2-3 rounds. so having the extra fury will render useless.

Thank you for your advice and very easy to read.  I appreciate that.  A couple of things I noticed.

Firstly I got Ikkaku at 80, first thing I did, and I've already modded him once, he's great.

Secondly I did fortify specifically my attack and wisdom max except I didn't spirit forged them.  I was gonna do it when my partners reach80.  They're 78.  My main is spirit forged 80 though and I use angry slash to snipe ryokas when possible. My other lvl 70 gears on asaulters are normal, I will pass them to rukia and kisuke and when my asaulters reach 80 I'll forge 80 gear and spirit forge them with pierce enchant.

Thirdly my reiatsu is 31.  It is in hold until I get Kisuke which is step 5.  After that I will continue reiatsu.

I modded tavern renji only 2 because I figured he'd be replaced soon.

I use renji with ikkaku and main.  I don't have sogyo nor plan to get him soon.  So I use 9th not 8th skill. Its currently lvl 20.  I don't use 8th skill.  Its at 0.

LASTLY and very important.  You mentioned tavern renji's damage is more than Shin Grimmjow.  I think you are wrong.  Almost everybody I've asked, even on similar threads have said Shin Grimmjow does more damage than a modified 3 tavern renji.  

Thank you for taking the time to post.  Your wisdom will help me stand out in my server.

thanks for the effort!

I know from doing it myself, nanao´s buff do not overwrite sogyo´s buff
which is why im using nanao atm in pve.

and for what reason people keep saying that zabimaru is better than sogyo w/o dark rukia? they have exact same damage rates only difference being sogyo got speed. as far as i can see it.?

Fortify! im keeping my weps/boots updated but rest are starting fall a bit atm ~10-15lvls behind, i guess thats not too bad! thou still keeping belt on vg up to date!

for what i have though/tested having rukia faster than assaulters results in more dmg, doesnt make difference if it faster/slower it will always attack after using skills anyway. only difference being that 1st set of skills have extra fury.

atm im getting my rei to 40 so ikka will be delayed to probly like 81, and kisuke till 84-85
and since im using shin hirako in pvp( and have grimmjow for pve) i have to replace renji as i dont have extra ghost blade


but im just saaad! im still so far from 1 hitting ryokas! only doing like 2,2mil dmg on first atk!

I do 2.5 mil, at first attack in ryoka.  I'm far but that is mainly because of my reiatsu being 31, and momo support keeping me back, I have to replace her for events asap.  Ikkaku is great, he damages hard and even helps out in pvp by reducing fury.

Well, as mentioned, all my silver are going for tavern partners.  Right now I want to get kisuke uruhara asap to tag along with rukia so he will replace momo, but after I get kisuke,

I will work hard to raise my reiatsu to 35 for zabimaru.  As soon as I hit 35 reiatsu, I'll focus all my silver at the moment to get gold reishi for kenpachi at lvl 90 and then my pve team will be complete.

SosaRey

Anybody knows if 9th skill overwrites tavern renjis skill?  Does it add or overwrite.  The attack percentage boosts
