~700 punches with Pahwhatever and ~700 punches with Scorpion Harness at level 73 Monk against Sea Puks (FFrep filters by mob) revealed an astonishing 0.06% difference in crit rate for me.

But Pahwhatever Khasomething was higher!!!!111 LOLZ

What he said. This body piece's Crit rate is REALLY low. 2-3% is generous imo. It's more like 1-2% or just 1%.

Lol...

You fool, Grunion will make a topic of it now.

[Khamsin]

some of you guys expect a lot from assault gear that's easy to get and costs almost nothing in terms of gil. if you think the assault gear isn't better than the gear you already have, which most of it isn't, don't bother getting them. a few pieces are slightly decent or for situational purposes but i'm just getting the full set for looks. ;/

Intensifying cape is nice.. my SMN has Blue Cape, which is HP-15 MP+30. Intensifying cape is HP+30 MP+30. Barring an Errant/Mahatma or Summoner's Cape, I'd say its about the best cape for SMN.

I'm getting Pahluwan Body for the Accuracy, So I don't need a Scorp Harness for my Thief and (when I level it) Monk!

For my Taru, Yigit !

I liked the way Xavier defined Zanshin.

Did I say something like "its a reminder of how much you suck"? Something like that?

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

You said its the only Job Ability/Job Trait that gets worse the better your character gets.

700 punches is still not a large enough sample size. A single critical hit changes the % in this sample size by .14%, and you're complaining that the body only increased your crit hit rate by 0.06% (which, btw, I don't get one bit, since the difference would have to have been a multiple of 0.14%, or something close to it if your sample wasn't exactly 700.)

Edit: oh pardon me, if your sample sizes were different and your critical hit rate stayed consistant, this would have shown the .06% difference.

If your job can equip shura togi and/or a hauby dont waste your IS on this bodypiece.

AP* but either way, there's nothing else to really use AP on...

I'm not the one who lvled the job whos trait is Zanshin...

Earrings / neckpieces sell for a good amount.

[Dezzimal]

I think you said something along the lines of "Its a job trait that gets more useful the more you suck"

Ok Back with Zanshin

We know there is a hard-coded 5% miss rate, no matter how much ACC boosting gear on you will always miss 5% of the time. I see Zanshin as a “second chance” move, a way to rewind time and try again. With that said this “second chance” comes with no cost, so it shouldn’t be as powerful as +10 Accuracy armor. I personally have merits in Zanshin so I can lose my ACC gear and have more damage gear on.

So what about Amir Sets?

I’m putting my money on this armor having secret stats, and a notable difference in magical and breath damage. I am hoping it’s someplace around 30%. It would be a fatal flaw if SE expects players to carry around 5 parts to an armor set that gives anything less then a 10% defense boost.

I too am counting on Zanshin effect. I figure with merited zanshin, this body and the zanshin cape... could do wonders for a Acc marco setup, as a SAM with an A+ weapon, have +ACC gear should not even be of concern so why not focus on Zanshin

[Krandor]

Why not focus on attack and STR and make those hits worth a damn?

I know SAM DoT disregarding WSs isn't the best.... but wearing nothing but accuracy and zanshin gear is just begging to get your ass smoked in a parser.

The korazin has attack+12. Its not completely disregarding it. I want this just for DRK solo work...

I was referring more to his suggestion of using the zanshin cape.

I really don't see how in anyway how a Zanshin bonus could compare to losing 6 STR 6 DEX and 12 Acc on a Hauby+1 for DoT.

[Enitsu]

What about when you miss, zanshin kicks in, you swing again and then miss that hit. GG Samurai, GG

[Alleya]

The only cool thing about Zanshin is that being countered counts as a miss, therefore you can counter a counter.
