What's the difference between "enhanced", "+1

[Raineer]

like divisor theory said, the +1 = +1 percent, where enhance will either be more than 1% or be something like fast cast which is hard to put into a percentage.

And brutal earring is godly..

Fast Cast isn't hard to quantify if you look at the reduction in recast time for spells that have a hefty recast. Warlock's Chapeau and Duelist's Tabard are 5% Fast Cast. (They have about a 2.5% recast reduction.) People have clocked Loquacious Earring is somewhere between 2-3% Fast Cast. Supposedly Rostrum Pumps are the same.

Brutal Earring > Loquacious Earring

Loq earring sucks, where can i trade mine for brutal?

I don't know about Loquacious Earring as I don't have one but I'm pretty sure Rostrum Pumps offer 1% recast time and 0% fast cast. Can anyone prove the latter? It's pretty easy to test their recast time; RR3: 60 seconds without, 59 seconds with.

yes, both are crap equally

Some people have stated that Loq Earring is a random fastcast effect, I can't say I've seen that to be true but I haven't cast RR on myself 100 times to find out.

[Eaglestrike]

I eventually do plan on getting a Loq. Earring for Utsu recast...even 1s is worth it IMO.

Just fyi i tested with and without and it's barely 1s (read as: sometimes it takes a second off, sometimes not)

But yeah if you want all the FC you can get, obviously it's an item you want. Fastcast is nerfed on recast compared to haste, it lowers recast times by exactly 1/2 the cast speed reduction you receive (same as RDM job traits)

You gonna sub DRG too?

Edit: Not that there is anything wrong with subbing DRG in certain situations

2.5% on the Homam Corazza was measured by parsers I assume?

Ok then, what's the difference between +1 and +1%?????????????????????????????

[Russta]

A few people here parsed it as 5% around the time it was released.

[Kross]

I have a follow up...

If you don't have the trait, does "+1" or "Enhancing" give you the trait? or does it not take effect at all?

2.5% x 0 = 0

lol just a thought

Differs per item. Brutal gives double attack. Suppa doesn't give dual wield.

[Lordwafik]

Easy way to test. Any non THF used a Triple Dagger, and triple attacked? I tried it on my BLM a while ago, after stabbing for hours, I didnt get one triple attack, that dagger is "Triple attack +1%" , not +1, not Enhance.

[Vinto]

I'm talking about things like Brutal Earring, WAR AF1 boots, THF AF2 boots and WAR AF2 legs. wtf is the actual difference between "Double Attack +1" and "Enhances Double Attack Effect"? It came to my attention the other day after someone told me he wanted a Brutal Earring because it's the best ear piece for NIN to use for TP and WS. The TP part was obvious to me, but I never thought of it for WS. Then I saw yesterday a THF equipping AF2 boots when he did his WS(might have been mainly for the CHR+5.. probably was) so it got me thinking. Does anyone know the actual differences(how powerful the effect is in one compared to the others) in these items? Yes I know there's a difference between certain items, not just the descriptions sometimes, such as Sarashi being worthless compared to Suppanomimi.

Example:

Assassin's Poulaines: Triple Attack +1
Homam Corazza: Enhances the effect of "Triple Attack"

The first one increases your Triple Attack rate by 1%, the second one inreases your Triple Attack rate by 2.5%

I don't know if it's right or not but something I heard makes sense. Enhances "blah Attack" gives a second check to see if it succeeds and +1 adds 1%. Don't shoot me if it's wrong.

[yuriku]

Enhancement =5%
+1 = +1 merit

[Vinen]

Enhancement =5%
+1 = +1 merit

no

GTFO

[XxSlusherxx]

It's not staic ok... there is no answer that would include all items.

gives monks triple attack =P

btw homam+af2+brutal is insane, i must get a triple/double 50% of my swings

While subbing WAR? Don't say 50% because that's wayyyy too much for FFXI.

[maddog]

Subbing nin offhand S. kukri, it may not be 50% but i've gotten 100tp in about 6 attack rounds and even had 300 tp vesus a war's 100tp (decent gear and acc) in a skillchain party (<- waste, tp burn ftw).

As for the chr on the boots, you'd probably get more damage from dex build through the actual sneak attack than the weaponskill's stat mod, 1% isnt worth it, but brutal's double attack rate is worth leaving on for weaponskill imo, its not 100% but its a significant boost when it works.

while soloing as nin/whm with brutal equiped, it is nearly as good as subbing war, and when subbed war it is even better, best earring hands down

[Kenai]

Not saying Brutal is bad but...

am I the only one who got Loquacious Earring for the MP?

I am, aren't I?
