[Zarath]

[Spekkio]

something tells me they're main brd, and needed to fast swap to whm. consider blessed mitts vs marduk's mitts.
Blessed Mitts: +15 MP, +7 MND, +5% Haste, -3 enmity.
marduk Mitts: +2% MP (probably about 20-24 MP total), +6 MND, -4 Enmity
blessed mitts cost far less than marduk hands just on materials, ignoring all the difficult "getting salvage drops" part.

now consider blessed pants vs marduk's pants. that's like comparing yigit pants to blessed pants. they're not even in the same ballpark. i just can't see that as being someone's natural gear build.

[Tricen]

HQ pants are decent if you are having trouble landing anything and don't have access to af2hat etc. But still :s

What, exactly, is wrong with them? They're an accuracy piece for spells that don't have INT/MND modifiers. Is that bad? Even if I had relic hat, why wouldn't I pair hat+wise legs for additional accuracy on said spells (taking into accout my previous statement that I don't have nashira legs)? If extra INT/MND wouldn't do anything, why forego extra accuracy?

Well, that's why I said they are decent. I prefer a stat opposed to MACC, especially when you got a lot of the stat opposed to 3 MACC.

yeah, but those require effort to get a hold of, and bar from storing af anymore as opposed to throwing 5k at the AH and getting a pair of blessed mitts. maybe that has no relevance though.

[Drunkenmonk]

wtf was SE thinking when they designed marduk gloves, i wouldnt wear then over af+1 except for SS on brd, apparently whm and smn wouldnt get much use out of them either.

[Zero Serenity]

wtf was SE thinking when they designed marduk's armor set, i wouldnt wear then over anything.

Fixed.

[Leeto]

hands/feet aren't really amazing but the rest of the set is pretty decent at least. anyway, that WHM is using an NQ light staff so I'm guessing he doesn't have brd. and if he does, it's a gimp one...

[Lexa]

Healer's mantle: Latent effect of MDB, active while /whm which he was not.
Rapier belt: Latent effect of sword skill +5, active while /rdm which he was not.
Wrestler's earring: Latent effect of +30 HP, active while /mnk which he was not.
Killer earring: Latent effect of +5 attack, active while /drk which he was not.

The only thing I can possibly think of, is that his native language might not have been English? My native language is not English and I had no fucking clue what "Latent effect" meant until I was just about ready for endgame. I think it was more pure chance than anything else, that I never wore any of it. Hell, to this day I still don't know the dictionary definition of "latent," I just know what it means out of context, from playing FFXI and listening to CSI people on TV talk about latent fingerprints. >.>





...yes, I'm reaching.

[yayaok]

??? ??? ??????? ????? ??11 ?? ???? ???

i'm not a whm, but the set doesn't seem to be that bad... i'm guessing its considered trash (besides body of course) cause there's blessed/other options that arnt fucking hard to get?

I'll tell you what's wrong with wise gear.

Someone said WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa WISE GEAR SUCKS OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG and everyone rode the wagon without thinking.

Not all of it sucks, and Magic acc definitely does not suck. I don't have wise gear but I don't exactly weep when I see people in it. If it's part of a land set then /shrug, if you're doing your job and not being a tard RDM then I couldn't care less.

[Zero Serenity]

Let's take a look at it this way. Chausable, which is the Body, is 5 Magic Accuracy. Warlock's Tabard is 10 (or 15, can't remember) enfeebling magic skill. 1 Skill = 1 Accuracy. It's not all bad, but there is definetely better in some places. I think the pants and the feet are the only ones I see on people and only for the intetest of magic accuracy.

[chapstick]

Errant/Mahatma > Wise legs. Nashira seraweels are better too. Really no reason to wear that crap.

[Tricen]

That's what I'm saying. Hands and feet are good for a mnd/int build. But you can get devotees+1 for hands for more MND. Feet are good for a buyable INT slot. If you really want to invest in aspir/drain accuracy go with hat and body... But eh.... That's just more inv space.

[aceofspades]

hat only for dark magic, unless you have nashira hat, for body i would rather use JSE or nashira

[Tricen]

That's if you wanna take up more inv space <_<

[Spekkio]

the takehome message from the conversation is pretty simple it seems to me. "shit's situational." you WS in heca gear. you don't tp in heca gear. if you do, you're being dumb. the way i see it, while chausible and such have their uses, using them full time is just like TPing in heca gear. while it may give you some bonus, that doesn't make it the best choice for that slot at all times by any stretch.

[Tempyst]

Four parties on my corsair this week, four full time myochin domaru samurai in them. At 70. I wish I was kidding.

I forgot to take screenshots of all of them but they all followed this general pattern:

The party was awesome but jesus christ

Domaruuuuuuuu

Update! He just dinged into full hachiman. I should have seen that coming a mile away argh

[Malinn]

It really depresses me how bandwagon SAM has become, I've seen so many full time domarus lately. Even AF hands are acceptable now, but what are these clowns thinking? I've gotten to the point where I will go out of my way to give gimp SAMs a verbal thrashing these days. No Subtlety required.
