What's Better?

[Eurell]

Phorcys or Lancers+2 hands for stardiver (and drakes I guess). I'm assuming Phorcys unless I need the accuracy?

[Kalmado]

Byakko's w/crit +4% or Ambusher's Hose for Blade: Hi inside and outside? Last I knew it was Byakko's.

[geno3302]

What's better for Shoha Tenryu Hakama +1 with WSDMG+3% or Avant Cuisses +1?

And for Kaiten Tenryu Hakama +1 or Ogier's Breeches?

Also would it be better to use Phorcys Salade and pole grip or Zelus and Rose strap for TP? It's 25% vs 24% haste for me atm, if I ever get a Phos+1 then capped vs 25%

Tenryu for both, definitely for Kaiten, close for Shoha.

Phorcys+Rose is what most SAMs use.

For bane most use heca+1 auged with crit dmg + 4% then w/e other stats youre lucky enough to get along with it. Diver afaik af3+2 hands win on

[BerenTebogo]

Whirlwind Dirs or Ogiers Breeches for Stardiver?

Umm... Af3+2 do not win for Star unless you need acc and you really should not on drg for most things, also heca+1 are not better for drakes unless you have crit rate+ aka Abyssea and even then they may not be better.

Shit do I have to change? I was wearing Lancer's+2 till I got hugginn lol.

Well I can't think of many situations (if any) where +2 would beat Whirlwind. Don't know stats on Huginn offhand.

I think all 3 of those beat ogiers since the WSD only affects the first hit. I suck with ffxi math though, so could be way off.

Dirs, WSD+ on Ogier's is first hit only.

I've been told and read that Avant+1 legs beat dirs for diver. Is this incorrect?

DRG needs acc?

Best MNK tp and ws (smite) sets now?

Depends on the mob's DEF according to Motenten's calculator. Whirlwind wins at capped Ratio. Lancer+2 wins at uncapped ratio. The latter is surprising considering Avant+1 v Lancer+2 is 2% DA v 1STR+3.75ATT.

In my opinion

impetus up :

Vere99+1 x x hagnea
ocelomeh+1 rancor brutal moonshade regain/att
tantra cyclas+2 nomkhappa epona's raja
atheling BB tantra+2 tantra+2

impetus down (spharai is superior but you asked for VS)

Vere99+1 x x hagnea
Thaumas rancor brutal moonshade regain/att
Thaumas nomkhappa epona's raja
atheling BB tantra+2 tantra+2

VS
Vere99+1 x x tantra
Thaumas gorget brutal moonshade tp bonus
tantra+2 heafoc epona's +7str rings
rancor wanion kehpri+1 kacura+1

can swap khepri+1 out of impetus for WS probably

Where does Huginn fit in here? I'm hoping on top or I wasted my gobbie giveaway item on a requiescat piece lol.

[Yugl]

Huginn destroys Lancer+2, so that piece is top tier (Even has ACC, so ACC situations are covered).

Goetia Petasos VS Rubeus Bandeau

My Blm nuke in FULL AF3+2 , should i swap head for Rubeus Bandeau?

I'll loose a lot of speed / acc and /set bonus ><

Any utility for Rubeus Bandeau?>< except fast cast which is not that fast
