    Platinum grip +1, why?

    Platinum grip +1, why are people paying 250k for this?

    acc+3 additional effect: stun

    given the 1dex=1acc for 2handers (and you must be using 2h for grip anyways) why not just get a spear strap(hp/mp+10 dex+3) for 7k?... am I missing something here? or is the stun effect worth 243k?

    Re: Platinum grip +1, why?

    I see the logic in your statement and it makes sense to me. Nevertheless, I've heard comments that the stun effect can mess up the stun order for some HNM mobs when it procs. I personally cannot see the stun affect being worth 200k either way.

    how is the proc rate with multi-hit weapons?


    edit: well i guess proc rate doesn't really change, better way to say it is, how noticeable is it?

    Proc rate is 2% at best, this is with NQ.

    2 stuns out of 100 hits?
    if anything this just makes me more curious as to why some are buying this for the price.
    save your money people.

    someone else said in an earlier thread that stun proc was like hq stun katanas, which is more like 13% I think?

    would be good to see it actually parsed..

    Every post I see says something different about the proc rate. We need someone to really parse it.

    Trio'd Ungur the other night, it proc'd 3 times, each stun lasting about 7 seconds(Saved the NIN's butt). I got ti to proc against KS99 KB 1-2x per run, seems that no matter what mob it is, the stun potency is always the same, it stuns for a hella long time. It kicks in enough to be worthwhile, unfortunetly it overwrites any additional effects your weapon may already have, such as not allowing the "Evasion Down" on Mezraq to ever proc.


    And it owns face with Love Halberd in uncapped...

    The reason is very simple. White Box.

    Take any marginally useful item, give it an even more marginal boost, and wrap a white box around it. You instantly made insane profit.

    I was using it on EMs but I've also used it on greater colibri and the proc rate is pretty close to 2%.

    I thought you played nin? If it's anything like mamu+1's, +1 stun daggers and knuckles, etc. being still new to where the big big majority of people that will eventually have them don't have them yet easily explains the current price.

    Were the stun rates on those katanas/daggers different on nq/hq?
