Homan head Vs. Wahalra Turban

[Dracy]

Which is better for the jobs that can use homan? (for pld?)

[Krandor]

Homam Head is totally worthless for PLD imo.

Only jobs that I can see using it are jobs that can make use of the Magic Accuracy, so DRK, BLU, and maybe THF/DRK.

Traveler's Hat vs. Legionnaire's Cap WHAT IS BEST??

Mushroom Helm plz.

i was thinking that the magic acc was just pure bonus, not even thinking about it. but from Wahalra Turban to homan you only lose 2% haste and ?mp/hp. also you gain regular acc.

DRK has AF1 head with 5 dark magic skill.
BLU doesn't really need MAcc, but is the best use for it
THF/DRK LOL?

2% Haste 4 HP 4 MP > 4 Acc

THF/DRK comment was if you're using a THF/DRK to stun shit, I dunno I'm stretching here, we just freelot that shit cause no one wants it.

Parse both.

Decide on your own which is better for your playstyle, and what complements your gear setup best.

Throw away the crutches of using a "guide" or other peope to tell you how to equip and play your job. Walk on your own feet for once.


You used an equipment guide to get to 75, Didn't you.

2% Haste 4 HP 4 MP > 4 Acc

you sure???? 4mp/hp is nothing, and i highly doubt 2% haste (1 second less on a re-cast) is that good.

Homan has worked for me so far, and i got it free :D i'll keep with it.

Ugh @ being in complete agreement with Maxx

[Lithiani]

In theory Magic Accuracy would be useful for any job closing a skillchain, and the skillchain effect is considered to be a magical effect with a source identical to the source of the closing weaponskill. It's not a very good theory, because there's usually a better way of eliminating resists and other gear with a better effect damage-wise.

Um... would Magic Accuracy help overcome the magic nerf on NMs for Spirits Within, or does that count as reduction rather than resistance?

To be fair, the reason I'm here is because we tend to weed out the retards who actually would think Swift > Speed etc

[Tom Chambers]

You're actually losing something with Swift. If you eat meat, accuracy is more important missing a tiny bit faster.

[Krandor]

MNKs should wear Swift Belt because they eat meat then obviously.

8% haste is a tiny bit faster? You're a math major, aren't you?

[Lordwafik]

I have both homam and walahra, but I dont use Walahra anymore since my haste setup has 0 acc (my only item with haste/acc = homam hat). Untill I get peices like H.feet / Hands / Legs, then I'll go back to walahra, because it pains me when I swap to haste setup and go whif whif whif whif whif.

To get into a haste setup, I drop my Ohat for Turban (-10 acc), Harness for Raparee (-12 acc), P.legs for Bravo Subligar (-4 acc). My feet currently have no acc (af2) , etc. I'd say it's not horrible, but if you need the acc then yeah go for it. If you can make up for it in other places fine, wear walahra.

[Eggroll]

I usually only use homam helm for macroing into spells and to walk around with in town, and even then i still usually stick with the chaos burgeonet(+1) for dark magic. Homam helmet really lost it's appeal with the introduction of the turban. Sucks that literally 2 days after i got my zucchetto everyone found out how to get the walahra turan ; ;
