    Can the meritted WS be used if +skill from other gear/merits gives you the appropriate skill? This is assuming the WS is meritted and 96+

    Yes. Did this with Staff. Shattersoul makes leveling it much quicker.

    Depends on potency of the day matching SC element, but they're a pretty solid choice if you're near, but uncapped crit rate from dDEX. If you're using the head as well, will gain some from the crit rate set enhancement.

    Would athos hands+head be the best smite combo then? Especially if the dmg bonus from the skillchain element is worthwhile at all.

    36%~50% atk bonus on one post in Studio Gobli.
    45%~50% atk bonus at most from my own personal testing. Not a good test, but just approximation

    Say it's 0.5ftp, same as atma of echoes*fixed*, then you're looking at:

    8str+7str+7dex+0.5ftp+???critrate
    vs
    WSDMG+3%+6str+6dex+6acc+13str-4dex-8acc (perfect SZK+1 augment and heafoc)

    17str 7dex 0.5ftp(on correct day) +???critrate vs 19str 2dex -2acc 3%WSDMG

    Str is close enough to being even, so will ignore for now. Acc should be capped.

    5dex 0.5ftp ???critrate vs 3%WSDMG

    Smite is ~5.5ftp after DA/TA considered, so a 0.5ftp boost is enough to win it straight out (~9% dmg boost) - but that's only Light Wind Fire Thunder days.

    On the dark-aligned days, comes down to how much critrate is added. Inside abyssea you'll likely be fully capped, and the SZK+1/Heafoc will edge ahead (on dark-aligned days).

    if you're capped attack, noncrit will be about 2pdif, crit about 3pdif. If dDEX capped and 5/5crit, 100tp smite will have ~40% crit rate(20dDEX + 5 merit + 15 smite boost). avg pdif then ~2.4. To match 3%WSDMG, head/hands would need to be about 7-8% crit rate boost.

    TL;DR: Athos set needs testing but has strong potential to win.

    Mekira head was shown to be 0.1 fTP, I think. Atma of Echoes was the 0.5.

    Ah fair enough, either way given the differences between mekira, the assault weapons, and the atma, it`d be worth finding out for sure.

    Does light belt cover ws properties that full under Fusion? Or same with Dark belt and fusion, or Distortion? etc? I remember where was a link that shows the elemental gorgets/belts and which ws properties they aligned with.

    After some searching I've been unable to find any solid information on the respawn time of ToAU Beastmen Kings, each time I've checked Gulool Ja Ja over the past few days he has been dead in more or less the same place, although I guess it could have changed a little bit, so does anyone have any idea of their repops?

    Oh and if anyone is interested, we killed Medusa and Gurfurlur with NIN WHM BRD and PLD to hold the adds very easily.

    Can a decently-geared BST solo Hm'Zdei (VNM tier II zdei) in Abyssea Vunkerl? If not, how about duo BST, or duo BST plus a well-geared BLU? Also, can the same combo lowman the resulting VNM tier III goldfish, Ketea? Thanks.

    Oh, and one other question. I've been seeing a few well-geared BST/NIN bringing OAT weapons back out for the offhand. The magian version, or just good old temp axe. Anyone know if there's a good math reason for it? I'm a bit behind the curve - only got back a couple months ago and OAT seemed to have gone out of style.
