    Re: Whats better?

    The main flaw in the argument here is that, with your 6-hit build, you can still quite easily have +17% haste (turban, dusk gloves, swift belt, haidate). Add an Askar Korazin and you can use fuma sune-ate to bring you to 20% haste.

    So the real answer is: 6-hit + haste wins. ^^

    Had put these line in there, giving my specifics, to avoid the broader suggestions outside of what I have available or to limit confusion in what I am asking. Though thanks for the advice still . It will become applicable if/when I ever attain the pieces you mentioned, and merit Store TP.

    Re: Whats better?

    I read back a couple pages and didn't see this question, but if I missed it I apologize.

    With the 2-handed update, and for someone who uses GA for pretty much everything except Nyzul now, Fire Bomblet v. Bombcore?

    Re: Whats better?

    I had the gil to get a Bomblet just after the update, and I'm glad I didn't because I've been swapping Acc around for other stuff more and more.

    Assuming you have PCC or Fort Torque and won't ditch it, Bomblet would just allow you to... dunno TP in a Flame Ring instead of Acc/Thunder.

    Re: Whats better?

    What would be better for Rampage (axe/sword) P.charm or Temp.torque? It is a 5hit ws and the off-hand delivers the 6th(not counting da) so wouldnt the temp torque count for 5 of the 6?

    Accuracy is calculated on a hand by hand basis, +axe skill doesn't give any acc/atk to the sword offhand.

    I can't answer your actual question, I'm not a melee. As far as I have heard, most people prefer the torque to the pcharm, but don't quote me on that.

    Re: Whats better?

    If you have Temp Torque and are using Axe/Sword, there is a bomb in the mail coming for you.

    Man/Jugg with Temp=gewd.

    Man/Ridill with PCC=gewd.


    Also, Bst is a melee... kinda...

    Made a Bst bud of mine happy when I was talking about his damage against Greater Coli's last time he had a party on them, and how this War was doing about the same damage as he was...said it's bad when I wished we had a Bst instead of a War for a change.... Least I know the Bst has good gear.

    For BRD:

    Say all I do is XP/Merit, Assault and random bs with 2-3 other friends.

    Mahatma Slops still worth it over JSE legs yes?

    Assuming you don't already own the slops for another job, there's no reason to wear them over JSE, although there's little reason to get JSE legs over mahatma if you already have them.

    Re: Whats better?

    If you have Mahatma, there's no reason at all to get Sha'ir legs. On the other hand if you have no other mage jobs and no real need for an -enmity setup on Bard, there's precious little reason to fork out the cash for Mahatma.

    Thanks for the help, guess there is no real reason to get Mahatma unless I decide to do end game again JSE legs are like 80k Mahatma 300k.

    Re: Whats better?

    I rarely ever say something like this, but I like the JSE legs for the sole reason that they look so much better than Errant/Mahatma. Errant makes me want to hurl.

    Depends, what job? Generally speaking Chiv chain > Specs

    For my COR on the other hand I like Specs over Chiv chain.

    What situation?
    For magical spells - Morrigan for sure, for TP - Homam, for WS or Physical spell - Alky bracelets, maybe Morrigan if you're fighting high evasion mob.

    Homam Zucchetto or Morrigan's Coron better ?
    Magical spells - Morrigan, TP - Walmart turban, WS or Physical Spell - Morrigan or Optical Hat for high evasion mobs, Cannonball - Wivre Mask (esp. if +1).
    Homam um... for TP if you really lack these +4 accy and for magic spells if not have Morrigan yet.
