What's Better?

[pancakesandsex]

Toci's Harness or Loki's (no Althos) on Rudra's Storm stacked with either SA or TA as THF. Speaking of Toci's, what are the other logical uses for Toci's?

TP set when paired with the hat.

[Neisan]

Emp+2 head has Ta+3 on it already, so you'd have to be benefiting from the dDEX.

[PEIPld]

Couldn't find this addressed anywhere, but after save tp nerf, and now that we have a 3rd atmacite, what's the best combination of rolls/atmacite for a melee dd?

(More specifically, Ukon War, assuming one cor, no brd, haste spell)

[fantasticdan]

My bst ruinator set:

axe/axe/x/fire sachet
mekira hat/breeze gorget/str earring/brutal
toci's/af3 hands/7str ring/epona's
atheling/breeze belt/ogier legs/af3 feet

Any obvious improvements?

Kaggen, Voidwrought, Miser's, Chaos are still your best options. To be honest, the other Atmacites really aren't that fantastic and I'd probably suggest Provenance just for utility.

So Vere or Spha 99 ?

[Cairthenn]

Verethragna is going to win if: You are benefiting from AM1 fully and are capped attacked, or are consistently benefiting from AM3, or are receiving crit. bonuses.
Spharai is going to win if: Attack is not capped and you are only getting AM1 regularly if you use Verethragna, or you are moving a lot (like Nyzul). If you don't have 5/5 Shijin Spiral with a decent setup, it'll lose.

Thaumas > Ninja Chainmail > anything else (assuming acc capped).

Porthos Byrnie is a decent option pre-thaumas, right? I've been using that with AF3+2 head/feet, relic+2 hands/legs, and twilight belt (26% haste). I'm not really seeing where I could make up the haste in a way that would make switching to ninja chainmail worthwhile (ie without having to sacrifice the dual wield on the pants).

[Neisan]

Porthos/Koga Hakama +2 over Chainmail/Byakko's Haidate (STP+4/Crit Damage +4) inside Abyssea?

Thaumas/Koga over both. Chainmail/Koga til then.

I saw a NIN wearing a new body with haste +5%, TA+2%, and attack +10, his pants were AF2+2. Is there a possibility that that Body and Legs combo is superior as long as he haste caps in other slots?

No.

Few pages back.

Upheaval. twilight helm or af3+2?

[grevenilvec75]

Upheaval. twilight helm or af3+2?

Pretty sure twilight.

[SargentRemora]

For SAM using TP Bonus GKT:
Capping haste and retaining a 5/hit using Bullwhip/AF3+2 Legs or Goading/Bustle Dirs? I assumed AF3+2 legs, but a few people think otherwise.

Twilight unless you need accuracy of course.

AF3 legs without a doubt when Hasso is up.

[SargentRemora]

AF3 legs without a doubt when Hasso is up.

Thought so. Thank you.

[Shenrien]

Potestas Bomblet or Thew Bomblet for Shoha.

[Diddy Kong]

Thew.

[Bigsyke]

Potestas Bomblet or Thew Bomblet for Shoha.

Thew.

[Jshadows]

Aluh Jambiya or Lux Pugio for off-hand to a Twashtar main?

[Shibo]

What are good sub weapon options for kannagi? I just started playing again and have seen some people talking about the final str and attk magian katana as being good, as well as some still using kamome. Curious to see what viable options there are. Also, I had an enchu +2 (the DA+ path) before I had a kannagi and kamome was better as a sub weapon back then, curious if the lvl 99 version (dmg55 delay242 DA+11) would be a good sub weapon since it wouldn't be difficult to upgrade it.
