What's Better?

[zoopooscooper]

Thanks, i noticed for WS, i need to get some points and buy those hands from Legion. Have like STR+10 DEX+6 AG+6 and Double Attack +2%

[Atoreis]

multi hit is not the best for VS due to the first hit only being subect to multi, exceptions being brutal earrign and atheling.

windbuffet is inferior to black belt..

Atheling + rancor > rancor + nefarius.

Nyzul body is bad for WS ( af3+2 best) for the same reason, especially during impetus, but outside too.

For info back at the 95 cap they released a belt from dynamis bubu arch boss (str+5 DA+3) was mathed to be only 0.2% better than black belt or something, and there are better options (wanion).

This means you can alwasy consider than 1% DA= 1 STR.

For accuracy there are many options like af2+2 gloves, an AH acc+13att+13 waist, ziel charm. Generally speaking do not use more acc on WS than TP btw.

Trully best MNK ever

[Taim Meich]

If you can afford the extra damage taken, use rancorous mantle. Stick with emp neck. Pup isn't losing out on atheling like other jobs would.

Much better, yeah.

[TSFFXI]

Asteria/Coruscanti or STR/STR as thief?

[Omnipotent]

Windbuffer or Ele belt for Ruinator

[Taint]

Windbuffer or Ele belt for Ruinator

Elemental for sure

Dex

[Modoru]

I've actually never merited attributes at all. Should I go full STR for my SAM, even though I'm mainly NIN or THF? Considering I'm aiming for Mandau, it seems sound. What should I go for second?

Your NIN and THF will get as much or more out of the STR as your SAM. +12 STR is about the same as +3 base damage on each hand. It's a bigger improvement to those two jobs than going from a level 85 to 90 Empyrean.

Anyway, your second merit should be DEX.

[NynJa]

Unless its a mage mule or a serious BLM, is there any justifiable answer thats not "STR and DEX"

[TSFFXI]

Edit: Byrnoth and Nynja covered everything.

[Byrthnoth]

STR and AGI is acceptable for hardcore rangers/cors, I think. If their only other job was THF or something, they wouldn't be gimping themselves too badly either.

VIT for Chakra, bro.

[dasva]

Yeah as awesome and fun as my rng is I'm seriously considering agi as my 2nd one.

thats actually what bothers me.

Would AGI for Exenterator be better than potencially crit rate and acc for TPing?
What WS is better to use in Legion as THF? Exenterator or Evis?

With ~193DEX, 54%crit rate is still a little behind Exentrator with ~173AGI but when I add a little crit rate and lower pdif to 1.5 Evis start to catch up and even exceed. Possibly Evis when under the effect of Blood rage and Mandau AM especially w/o Berserk up?(that would bump Evis crit rate to something around 80%)

[Nemesio]

Ogiers/Avant(legs)

Which for Fudo/Stardiver/Shoha?

[Michelob]

I don't know, Im giving serious consideration to STR and INT being an Apocalypse DRK. I may end up going with DEX though anyways since I play empyrean WAR and MNK as my other main DDs.

[Taint]

Ogiers/Avant(legs)

Which for Fudo/Stardiver/Shoha?

Fudo - Ogiers
Shoha - Avant+1
Stardiver - Avant+1

[BerenTebogo]

Stardiver: Light gorget / light belt or some combo of others?
