[Omniyoji]

wise strap or ice/thunder grips for Blm?

I assume you mean for nuking since you listed "ice/thunder"

If that's the case then like Ruiner said HQ Bugard

idk i'm not really sold on giving up 16 attack for just onry 10 accuracy (only merit with 2brds)

In general, if your acc isn't capped, 1 acc is worth about 2-2.5 attack.

[Amele]

In general, if your acc isn't capped, 1 acc is worth about 2-2.5 attack.

unless you're in the habit of fighting mobs with 400+ defense and 7+ levels on you, it's closer to 1.5-2 than 2-2.5 but the general sentiment is correct.

[Seedz]

The thing is, though, you want to use acc hands to favour double minuet and double march when exping with 2 bards, specially if you're meritting with 2handers who don't really benefit from madrigal at all (unmeritted polearm sams aside).

So what is the best SJ for DRK zerg (KC)? Im deciding between MNK and DRG atm. 5% haste and losing about 100 HP.. is it worth it?

Also, Peacock Amulet or Ritter Gorget for zerg?

[Achika]

Currently RNG62. Wondering if I should use AF feet (HP+10 AGI+4 Evasion+5) or Marine F Boots (HP+60 STR+3 DEX+3 VIT+2 AGI+2 INT-3 MND-3 CHR-3). Using archery.

[Cream Soda]

I'm no rng, but I'd definitely say Marine F. If my understanding is correct, WS mods aside, 2 agi is 1 racc. You're pretty much giving up 1 acc for 3 str, which helps ranged attacks by more than 3 str would make a diff on melee'ing, if my memory is correct. So yea, definitely marine

Paladin DD(Nyzul, Merits, What have you).

Hauteclaire/Joytoy/Smart Grenade.

Hauteclaire/Justice/Virtue Stones.

Joytoy/Justice/Virtue Stones.



Also for WS Legs(vorpal and swift), Aurum or AF2.

[BadKarma]

Hagun vs Onimaru

[Raen Ryong]

Hagun vs Onimaru

Hagun.

Paladin DD(Nyzul, Merits, What have you).

Hauteclaire/Joytoy/Smart Grenade.

Hauteclaire/Justice/Virtue Stones.

Joytoy/Justice/Virtue Stones.



Also for WS Legs(vorpal and swift), Aurum or AF2.

Joy/Justice > H/Joy > H/Justice on mobs which aren't hugely defensive, reverse Joy/Justice and H/Joy if they are.

Aurum if you need the acc, AF2 (or Dusk Trousers work nicely too) else.

Currently RNG62. Wondering if I should use AF feet (HP+10 AGI+4 Evasion+5) or Marine F Boots (HP+60 STR+3 DEX+3 VIT+2 AGI+2 INT-3 MND-3 CHR-3). Using archery.

Marine F Boots. You could make a slight case for AF feet for TP, but for WS there is no competition.

Also, Peacock Amulet or Ritter Gorget for zerg?

/Drg.

Ritter if you don't need the acc, PCA if you do. Even with Feint and 2x SV Madrigal your accuracy is sometimes not capped; use PCA in this case.

The thing is, though, you want to use acc hands to favour double minuet and double march when exping with 2 bards, specially if you're meritting with 2handers who don't really benefit from madrigal at all (unmeritted polearm sams aside).

2handers do still benefit from Madrigal, ESPECIALLY at mamool. Unless you're a DRG or wearing perfect gear at birds, Madrigal still helps you a decent amount. On mamool, madrigal definitely.

But yes, 10acc > 16atk in most cases in a TP build.

[Secksi]

Ok thanks, guess I'll have to jack the next justice sword.

Also suppose I'll need to start farming zeni again, at least they're free. Not going to pay any gil for ws legs unless I get an nlegs abj somehow(unlikely).

[Ruiner]

Hecatomb Subligar +1 vs. Ares's Flanchard vs. Onyx Cuisses for Catastrophe?

Anyone?

[Fwahm]

Either Hecatomb Subligar +1 or Askir Dirs are the best, depending how much attack you have compared to their defense.

[Amele]

Hagun vs Onimaru

the correct question should be Hagun vs. your wallet; hagun is the best AH gkt. (it's.. argued alot about whether or not any of the esoteric non-relic/mythic gkts beats hagun. Futsuno probably does; the rest probably don't.)

all that said, the difference is often overstated. - it's not the 20% that gets thrown around alot (that's just the tp bonus damage %) it's closer to 2% than 20%; so if your sam is basically a toy job you bring to the occasional limbus run, hagun probably isn't worth the investment.
