I fought Adamantoise today and thought it was 100% guess I'm wrong.

Same as relic proc

Im 0/11 myself on fafnir with th10-11 and it's probably same drop rate.

Sword can be used by 3 jobs, and I believe CDC sets are probably easier to build. Also, STR Modded Crit WS vs DEX Modded Crit WS. Smite double-dips with the fSTR/ATK and STR Mod, but CDC double-dips with dDEX and DEX Mod. I'm not mathy enough to tell which of those means more, but I think Crits are where you get the majority of the damage from Crit WSs.

Edit: Forgot about the GK side of the argument... well... uh... I don't know jack about SAM WSs, so someone else can fill in the blanks on that one.

**neosatus** · 2011-07-16 20:26

Are there any SAM theory websites or solo/tanking guides out there? New SAM who wants to tank NMs and solo some looking for advice on best way to gear, merit, macro, good addons, everything. Is there anything like that?

Having a hard time figuring out what to spend my battle trophies on, for Nin War Mnk Blu Cor Rng is there anything worth getting? I know Blu has some feet that are a small amount better when augmented perfectly, but mainly talking about big augments like Whm or Drg get.

Get the one that looks cooler.

Think there is a nice eva pants for nin, I seem to recall seeing some SC of it on bg thread, apart from that, not much.

**urat** · 2011-07-16 20:39

Ok so there is little info that I can find on this so I'm coming here, anyone got any idea wtf the "occasionally grants damage bonus based on tp +5%" augment is on the earring from WotG?

Not worth getting over Ocelot really, you'll spend too much time trying for those augs on average and the 4% haste is more useful than a couple extra points of eva. BLU gets a FC body, WAR gets WS legs (but only if near-perfectly augmented), COR and RNG get a Snapshot body iirc.

They don't need to be perfectly augmented to be good. +6 STR on boots is still better than anything else for most spells.

My own question: How worthwhile are 4% bestias? I mean, Ace's are 4% and give more attack at the cost of accuracy that doesn't immediately strike me as important on a job that is a 2-hander and gets 3 Accuracy Bonus traits.

**Martinius** · 2011-07-16 20:50

so i won a rank 4 and i'm conflicted (and it's on a mule, so bear in mind, much of my choice is based on being able to dbox it):

i've narrowed it down to hope torque for my rng, faith torque for my mnk and rng, or bst body seals x10.

hope torque isn't worth it, since i'm using jishnu's, so the agi's not doing dick.

so basically it's between faith torque, which is easy to pop and kill with an appallingly bad drop rate, and 10 bst body seals (which is an awesome body), which come from two giants and koios, which either suck to proc or suck to claim.

i think faith torque is gonna be the choice, but input would be appreciated.

thanks!

Doubt it. Without a pup or /pup to change his form he'll probably one shot you with magic mortar at low HP.

**Kyte** · 2011-07-16 20:52

Faith

Also- Most of those people claiming VNMs are going for the upgrade; simply ask them to give you BST seals and they would gladly have one less person to claim over.

**Martinius** · 2011-07-16 21:12

yeah, i have a wonderful ls, so either piece is very doable, but i've been helping a friend with her harp, and at least on shiva, my experience has been that other pts who claim over you magically need all seals all the time lol.

Are the WS legs better than Bhaidate for Raging Rush?

They don't need to be perfectly augmented to be good. +6 STR on boots is still better than anything else for most spells.

Under this advice I just did 10 and got a +6 augment right away, thank you!

Wow that sucks. I wish it was still a timed pop.

As for the original question, it will become needed as soon as you reach abyssea <as early as lv 30 but definitely post 75> or as early as you want to go into the past zones for missions i suppose?

Is WOTG really necessary for Abyssea? You don't ever enter the past to go in?

All of the Abyssea pages have said it's required for access, you don't enter the past, but it probably won't work. It's not like you won't get WotG while you get Abyssea in the collection. Unless you feel like paying extra for less.

**Kaisha** · 2011-07-17 00:03

Not done Ob since 75-cap, and it appears now that I still have a lot of attachments to get from him, particularly the new ones from this update. Have there been any solo strats devised for it?

I was thinking of trying BST w/ Dipper, and sub PUP to lock its frame, unless PUP main can do it with ease nowadays.
