Whats better?

[Ultimagi]

Ethereal all the way. It's amazing for Paladin, and also very nice for Red Mage and Blue Mage either for soloing or tanking.

[Thorny]

Ethereal would make sense for PLD, BLU solo, and as a general DD earring for any job.

don't forget as an idle earring for sch and rdm

thank you ^^ i was leaning towards it but i was not so sure.

Rate Dusk Gloves +1, Hachiryu Kote, Dusk Gloves, and Askar manopolas from best to worst for SAM!

Assuming Accuracy isn't capped, of course. I'm leaning towards Hach being the best.

100% dependent on the rest of your TP and WS setups as well as what buffs you are getting.

[Lagunasa]

Dune Boots or Fuma Sune-ate

I don't have any usukane (T_T) and 5/5 KA merits

Stopped playing monk about a year ago to lvl sam (gogo2hnd)

yea...HAlp me!

agreeing with this; comparing accuracy and haste is really difficult.

dusk gloves +1 = hachiryu* > dusk gloves = askar is probably the closest we could get for 'most' reasonable situations.

realistically, I suspect that dusk gloves will tend to edge out askar and that dusk+1 will tend to edge out hachiryu, given a 'typical' merit build with a 'typical' high haste sam build; but with a different setup or different buffs, they are close enough together that it would not be cut and dry.

*assumes full benefit from accuracy.

Yea, what Amele said, but part of why I didn't say that, is it seems to me if Dusk Gloves+1/Hachiryu Kote are even on the table, I'm wondering how you can get anywhere near full benefit from the accuracy on Hachiryu (for a GK build). For Polearm Sam, it's much harder to cap accuracy.

easy answer: fight MMJ 8D

Haven't gone there in so long...KC rng always wants birds (and rightfully so). Usually ended up with a Madrigal there anyway though.

[matix]

kc rng on mamools is just as awesome :3! i dont like when ppl feel forced to birdies just cause im a rng D:!

[shulula]

Cept the spam is just horrible. I did a party with KC/Relic RNG and although the xp/hr was slightly higher than a non-relic pt, the spam was very apparent.

people are too afraid of TP moves in this game; (and I'm a whitemage). if we all learned to suck it up and admit that we can take a couple hits now and then we'd all have alot more fun.*




*which is more fun, watching a tiamat take hours because some new linkshell wants to kill it with summoners to avoid any 'dangerous' tp moves/movement. or a rollercoaster ride of 20 minutes with everyone actually involved in doing more than glorified holding?

[Mytiwar]

Rng Sidewinder feet; Skadi or Scout's socks?

If the answer is different depending on the situation, say stuff like Odin/Kirin and a merit party would be the situations.

I already get roughly +50 str for sidewinder from gear swaps; counting skadi. I just got scout's socks recently and am wondering if I should use them for that ws' swap, thanks.

[Eldelphia]

I'm lving up WHM (Elvaan), and was wondering if I should use BQ Ring/Serket for Idle, or Ether/Serket? MP merits/A+ gear if you're wondering, and I'm only 49 atm (thinking in advance).

Max MP for when you're at full otherwise it's a waste. I wouldn't idle in BQ ring ever as an elvaan but I'm a hume so what would I know! I use it for Devotion and Martyr macros only.

I'd consider some -EMN if your MND is high enough - troopers?

Meleeing shit down is definitely more fun than just sleepnuking or whatever, but god damn I hate KC users in exp parties 95% of the time, the 5% where you get a badass Rng who just rapefucks everything doesn't make up for having some stupid cunt War/Nin Axe/KC with more gil than brains spam feed colibri TP... even worse in Campaign, but it's my own fault for spamming voke and what are essentially Cure III's in ridiculous amounts of enmity.

Socks for the majority of situations.

Socks, unless you really can't hit what you're fighting (which shouldn't often be the case).

Kind of a mixed Randomer Question/What's Better...but I'm intending to level WAR from 38 to 75 in the near future...I have full Sword merits, and no room for further combat merits. I have no Suppa and don't really intend to exchange my Abyssal for it.

Is DW even worth bothering with without a Suppa as opposed to just fulltiming GAxe, and if yes, would Organics/Joy be preferrable over Axe/Joy with 8 Sword and 0 Axe merits but no Suppa?

Just wondering if I should bother with keeping Axe skilled up/buying new Axes as I level compared to just dealing with GAxe.

[nekura]

I did GAxe from 18->75 (did 1->18 with axe/shield back when I was newish to the game and didn't know any better). Raging Rush comes kind of late so you'll find your WS damage pretty gimp compared to other jobs but when that happens you can use a more utilitarian WS and benefit the entire party. I've always heard mixed opinions about Rampage at the level you get it due to the amount of accuracy gear available so I didn't bother.
