Infraction for Padraig: Not terribly bright

User: Padraig
Infraction: Not terribly bright
Points: 3

Administrative Note:

Message to User:
I don't care if people call you Phinnaeus Tinwhistle. I don't even care if they call you a dumb son of a bitch, unless they do so in our public forums, because that's against our rules. Here, you're just some guy named Padraig who signs his posts because he's a dumb son of a bitch. Stop it, or you will find your ability to post permanently curtailed.

We can see who you are to the left of your post, no need to sign. Also, you should probably have read the entire post you quoted, because it contained this:
Note: Tables below list Nightmare Tear twice because it provides two useful stats from one gem.

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

Note: Tables below list Nightmare Tear twice because it provides two useful stats from one gem.

Gem Stat EP
[Chaotic Skyflare Diamond] 21 Crit 48.51
[Nightmare Tear] 10 Agil 16.3
[Nightmare Tear] 10 Str 30.5
[Sovereign Dreadstone] 10 Str 30.5
Total n/a 125.81
Gem Stat EP
[Relentless Earthsiege Diamond] 21 Agil 34.23
[Nightmare Tear] 10 Agil 16.3
[Nightmare Tear] 10 Str 30.5
[Bold Cardinal Ruby] 20 Str 61
Total n/a 142.03

Without socket bonuses, the Relentless is clearly superior by a difference of 16.22 EP. I am going to assume that you are already using a Nightmare Tear to activate a 6 STR socket bonus, such as in [Koltira's Battleplate of Triumph]. However, if you have another item that provides a similarly strong socket bonus, such as [Dual-blade Butcher] the use of [Sovereign Dreadstone] in the blue socket will socket bonus of 6 Strength will provide 18.3 EP, covering the 16.22 EP difference in the gems. If we get a helm with a blue socket to provide 8 strength, this should grow even more. Please excuse me if my arithmetic is off or if this has already been covered.

[edit: grammar]
Hi all,

Sounds interesting, but I think you can only put 1 nightmare tear in your set.

Cheers

All the best,

Hi Bartolimu,

Just to point one thing out I did put Pad (short fort Padraig) at the end of the post . My apologies if it is not enough but all people know and call me after my short.

All the best
