Hello, I'm looking for an in depth Mosaic guide if anyone has one. I tried browsing the forums, but came up short in my search.

Ideally want to be able to smash p8 cows/chaos and have fun :).

Looking for recommended gear
Recommended ias
Recommended fcr

Recommended merc build?

If any notes about best armor base. I want to use sharktooth or full plate mail for the looks, but curious if there are drawbacks vs other armor bases (light vs heavy, etc.)
Would like to use GT for both/offhand or is a different base preferred for offhand? I like the look of claws.

I have the general idea for skills, but any help is appreciated!

edit:
For claw skills, I know +3 ps, but what other skills are preferred over others? Should I prioritize cot or coi?

I made a few posts here that should answer most of that

For your last question - coi is generally better since you’ll usually be using ps2 which does huge light dmg. Honestly neither are needed though.

That basically answered all of my questions :hug: much appreciated.

My only other question, does armor base matter on a mosaic sin? Using heavy vs light?

Heavy and medium does impart a movement speed penalty yes. Other than that there is no difference. I use full plate mail even though it’s slower since I like chars to look good lol

Thanks for clearing that all up for me :).
