Please translate MNK ; ; I have a hard time understanding this one with google >.>

[Karbuncle]

THF is pretty garbage Except the Feet (For WS). Hands+2 Are nice Evasion piece now, and TH+2, can't argue with more Placebo.

Not bad though, This is the First Stage upgrade though I believe, Theres a +3?

I believe so. They said something about "merit point" related augments. Inb4 ambush augments.

Is there an argument for being able to fulltime the feet as a TP piece, or are they inferior to AF3+2 hands?

Assuming those stats are correct yeah feet would be better tp peice. Hell if you are in abyssea just regular af2 feet might be better.

Also the body has real potential for ws

[Vriska]

Maybe SMN relic will be worth wearing now? >_>

[Khajit]

I just saw the nin hands. All I have to say to the official forums ninjas is FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING SHITCUNTS. I could have gotten something decent for an upgrade on nin hands(besides the str increase) and their retarded discussion about how nin hands NEED to no longer have day/night requirements when dusk+1 gloves exist already probably influenced the devs into going along with that stupid shit. Now if you mind I have to go back to playing pokemon.

I'm not so sure on the body. Does 3% crit rate beat 4 dex on Evisceration compared to Loki's? (assuming body's crit damage is 5%)

Thx ~4200-300 HP outside probably

How about WAR ? I think legs have now da+3% and DA damage up on top of str+8? Could be overall best Ukko legs. Better translation would be cool tho :/

[Motenten]

Aside from the generally painful Google translate, if you're using Firefox I'd suggest the Rikaichan plugin for translating Japanese text in the browser. Not as good for translating large quantities of text due to the nature of the interface, but better for fine-tuning and understanding individual text fragments.

Melee Gloves +2
HP+4%, Accuracy+21 (o_o), Attack+21, Subtle Blow +6, Enhances "Chakra" effect III (was there a II? idk wtf)

Also, would guess that AF body is Chakra effect 1, and normal Melee Gloves is Chakra effect 2.

Assuming it is 5% to crit dmg then yes easily

[Alistrianna]

could anyone translate the Summoner gear?

[Alistrianna]

Melee gloves +1 allowed you to remove one extra effect Chakra could not normally remove. I believe it let you remove plague.

Makoto Koga Ninja hauberk body all kinds ------- ------------ effect up dual wield +12 Ranged Attack +15 Accuracy +12 Ranged Attack +20 Lv99 Ex Rare 60-proof

I guess they are adding DW to Koga body.

What about Tocl's Harness? STR+13 DEX+13 Acc+10 Attack+10 and some Double Attack. Thought that would be a clear winner Outside Abyssea? Even with the critical hit rate... Its lacking 6DEX, 13STR, some acc/atk. IN exchange for 3%Crit Rate and (My assumption) 3% Crit damage..

Kinda dependent on alot of stuff. Largely if you aren't capping fstr... well and of course if you aren't capping acc. Att math is much lamer so I'll leave that for someone else. But given Toci's rarity I wouldn't call af2+2 garbage if only 1 hard to get peice beats it. Like I just completely stay out of Voidwatch myself. And I keep hearing horror stories of people going 0/100+ on a particular nm for the bodies

How is the droprate on -1 body/leg in tav? Similar to -1 from CoP areas?

[SargentRemora]

Edit: nvm, I did read it wrong here's the shitty translate:
Horn: Performance of a contract between -5 summon using anti-23 MP +42: -3 +4 Attack maintenance summon up magic
Doublet: Performance of a contract between -6 summon using anti-49 MP +28: -3 +6% critical hit summon upkeep
Bracers: -4 Summon every other contracts with 20 MP +42 Summoning magic skill +15 proof: Accuracy Up
Spats: -4 Summon every other contracts with shorter intervals with 38 MP +35 Elemental summon the magic of proof: Magic Accuracy +6
Pigaches: Performance of a contract between -4 summon using anti-18 MP +35: +5% Magic Critical Hit Up Attack
