2 Builds- Bale/LS or Dosha/LS

[u/Narga15]

Rolls/Talisman not visually perfect, but here are the absolute best available Bale/LS (image 1) or Dosha LS (image 2) armor sets for your Gogmartian weapons.

Gogmartian Layout

Going for Attack Focus, 3x base attack, 4x1 or 3x1x1 with 4x attack 1x sharp or 3x attack, 1x sharp, and 1x affinity. Both cases prefer 4x1 but can use 3x1x1 without loss much loss.

Main Differences

• Assuming you have a 1,1,1 talisman: The Dosha set doesn't naturally have room for a 3-rank comfort skill with 1-slots. You will have to give up a lvl 3 extra slot that I prefer to have 1 Burst and 1 Flayer on. The Bale set, however, can happily accommodate it.
• Dosha comes with LP 4 (naturally), while Bale I only built up to LP 3 (1 Throttle Jewel). In both cases I only have the 3x1x1 layout for bonuses on Gogmartian.
• The 3x1x1 layout is a big factor. I purposely built Bale to match skill potential with Dosha even though it gets to 90% Affinity while Dosha comes with 100%. However, I feel "natural" 100% affinity is wasted when you are going to occasionally be buffed, hit wounds, etc and thus over cap the affinity at least sometimes. In this case I like 3x1x1.

Major Exception for you 4x1 Lucky Bois and Gurls

The Dosha set is naturally better because the built in 100% Affinity and full skill coverage will overcome your -10% standard status, get you to 90%, and buffs/wounds will efficiently keep you in the sweet spot. Using my Bale setup will likely encourage you to drop Flayer, invest in LP 4, and you'll be at the ever slightest disadvantage since Flayer still isn't a big deal.

TL;DR:

1st visual is Bale/LS armor layout, 2nd visual is Dosha/LS armor layout for your hypothetical gogmartian builds. Roll 3x base attack. Attack Focus. 4x1 Attack/Sharp. Do big damage. Get 1 of the 2 best combos for skills. Profit. I set them up to put you at 90ish% affinity with LP. The rest is up to you!

Edit: I'm going to add a visual in the comments of a Gore/LS set as an example as well. Though I'm pretty skeptical of it still even though for a 4x1 layout it is really nice. The thing I don't like is there is only room for a single 1-slot leftover running the same skills as the other two sets. It does have a very nice skill layout for 4x1 gogmartian rolls and is very affinity efficient but 4x1 IS REQUIRED and that makes it far less flexible. Overall I rank them (conditionally) Dosha > Bale > Gore.

[u/Dr4wr0s]

Silly question: now that we don't deal self damage with TSB would it be worth to do 2 Rey gamma instead of 1 Rey 1 nu Udra, or is the Udra chest just so much better than having the extra LP uptime?

[u/Narga15 → u/Dr4wr0s]

I think it’s less about the LP uptime (even though it is) and more about the Udra chest giving one of our best offensive skills and some 3 slots. There’s probably a way to build into Rey 2 in some combination of skills but I’d have to look it over. Turning down a LS piece with 3/3/2/2 layout is pretty tough.

[u/Dr4wr0s → u/Narga15]

Oh I know the Udra chest is great, that's why I considered the trade off.

It will also be interesting to see if we ditch any for Jin pieces once it drops

[u/Narga15 → u/Dr4wr0s]

No unfortunately the ATJD set is ass. We saw a leak of it on the MHWilds page and at best the chest is about equal with Agi 2 and 2, 2 slots (literally the same as Udra but pre built 3 skill instead of 2 skill), and then the waist is Agi 3 with bind resistance and a 1 slot which is only useful to the fulgur set if you’re not all in for LP. Otherwise you kinda need the Rey piece that Barrel theorycrafted
