Whats better?

[Araelus]

:D

That spoilered quiz worked out well.

I want a Damascus Grip/Damascus Grip +1 though. Especially on Pld.

Thanks for posting it in the first place over in the failthread. Somehow that thread became this thread for three posts; I just returned the Max™-Sorting-Algorithm-of-Askar™ to its rightful place and watched the fallout. And I hope for new grips in April, probably not going to see one as good as 5 Dex 10 Acc, though.

Chaos Sollerets +1 vs Hct. Leggings for Guillotine?

LS DRK consensus was Hecatomb feet, especially if your DEX before heca means it pushes you up three accuracy points total instead of 2.25. "Until you cap accuracy, don't worry about MND" they said.
(if Zoolander would just read this thread he could post instead of me, lazy bum)

i use cuchulain for all 3.
even use cuchulain for my apoc drk but i swap to forager's for 1 hit WSs(catastrophe, mandalic stab etc)
multi hit WS and for tping(both 1H or 2H), i stick to cuchulain

What jobs and what set ups favor Cuchulain's Mantle? Just trying to get a general idea here.

BLU multi-hit spells and Drakesbane.

If your accuracy isn't capped, CHOO CHOO MANTLE will beat forager's and charger's for TPing. The same applies to most weaponskills if accuracy isn't capped during them, though WS acc caps easier for quite a few.

[Max™]

Yeah, Cuch's is hot.

[Shinryuu]

I don't get the whole "Cuch is dumb because 2H don't need the hitrate". Well, no. The only place I cap hitrate w/o aggressor with my TP gear with fortitude axe/virtue stones/blitz ring (that's forfeiting quite some ACC) is greater colibri.

Also, for haidate jobs + mithra, Cuch's DEX could mean 4% extra critical hitrate. Sup.

On WS, it's a tossup. Since you swap out haste gear (which on the whole doesn't give much ACC) for ACC and STR, you'll sooner cap hitrate in WS gear, possibly making Cuch's moot. However, keep in mind Cuch's will pretty much always win for crit-based WS, WSs with DEX mods... and if you don't want to waste an extra inventory spot on Smiley Mantle +1, Cuch's wins for Gekko, too.

In what situation would Koga Chainmail be preferred to a Hauby +1?

[Thorny]

In what situation would Koga Chainmail be preferred to a Hauby +1?

Aht Urgan Whitegate

Edit to not seem as smartassy:

On weaker mobs where your accuracy caps without body, AF/+1 body will be the ideal TP piece for damage and it's eva neutral.
On tougher mobs where you use the full acc from other bodypieces, you're comparing 6 DEX 6 STR to 4 attack.. the STR alone gives 3 of that attack.
The usual argument in favor of koga chainmail is along the lines of "LOL IM A NINJA EVA- IS BAD FOR NINJA BECAUSE WE HAVE SHADOWS".. in reality, if a mob is high enough level that you need an accuracy bodypiece then you will not be evading any decent amount without a full evasion build(where you should typically drop the body for an eva piece as well).

In conclusion, town gear onreh!

Bravo.

What are decent WAR WS hats for RR/SC/KJ if N.Head/Orc SCNM helm aren't an option? I have Optical, G.Kabuto, and Askar available at the moment.

Edit: I'll have no GAxe merits for what that's worth.

[BadKarma]

Bahamut's Mask or Aegishjalmr for general tanking.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Wtf dude, you need that MND for cures.

Serious note, I think assjammer idle and macroing baha for enmity would benefit
you more, but don't quote me on that.

Not taking baha secksfactor into consideration.

You can always do what post under this one says but I get flamed for doing that so you've been forewarned.

[Callisto]

In longer fights I think Turban for idle/Flash and Baha for JAs, shorter fights probably just Baha.

Askar for RR/KJ, the str isn't bad and the dex adds a bit of accuracy for you. The 15 vit on the Kabuto puts up better numbers for SC from what I've seen.

Unicorn Cap's by far the best option for you for KJ, probably for Raging Rush too--lolCrits.
