I've read the stat/max thread (https://playpso.net/forums/topic/44-max-stat-plans-and-improvised-calculator/ and also used the calculator here: http://psobb.epizy.com/maxstat.php
Planning out mags, materials, and gear for a FOnewm, I broke it down into 2 options.
Option 1: DOES IT ALL
Gear includes: ADEPT + v802:
MAG: 0/139/54/7
1) ATP capped (1 over)
2) ATA capped
3) 49 Mind mats needed.
4) 40 LUCK mats needed
Remaining: 61 mats for dfp/evp
Option 2: DOES IT ALL
Gear includes: v802 (in case you want flexibility, not having to use adept all the time)
MAG: 0/106/94/0
1) ATP capped
2) ATA capped
3) 61 Mind mats needed
4) 45 Luck mats needed
Remaining: 44 mats for dfp/evp Option 3: NUKER! (more weapon dmg)
Gear includes: ADEPT + v802:
MAG: 90/0/54/56
DFP mats: 28
EVP mats: 30
ATP mats: 60
MST, DFP, EVP, ATA maxed.
ATP -93 from max.
Luck -90 from max.
Option 4: NUKER! (not dependent upon using adept)
Gear includes: v802:
MAG: 45/0/94/61
DFP mats: 55
EVP mats: 35
ATP mats: 60
MST, DFP, EVP, ATA maxed.
ATP -167 from max.
Luck -90 from max.
CONCLUSIONS/QUESTIONS:
1) OPTION 2 is the most flexible. You can use weapons, nuke, etc. You have given up a lot of DFP and EVP though.
2) OPTIONS 3 and 4 are pure nuke, best possible defense, while also allowing weapon specials via maxed ATA. Option 4 is more flexible since you don't have to use ADEPT.
After going back and forth a million times, I think I am leaning towards OPTION 4. I have HUs and RAs to use weapons on.
Thoughts on all this analysis?
