    A SAM Food/Store TP gear question.

    With the gear I have right now (assuming full Store TP merits) with either Soboro or Hagun, I can get to a 6-hit build under the following scenarios. What I want to know is which is better taking into account all factors including food.

    Base Store TP (with merits): 35

    Scenario 1: Soboro
    Food: Coeurl Subs
    TP:
    Rajas Ring: 5
    Chiv. Chain: 1
    Hachiman Sune-ate: 5
    Total: +46 Store TP (16.7 Per swing)
    WS:
    Rajas Ring: 5
    Chiv. Chain: 1
    Brutal Earring: 1
    Hachiman Sune-ate: 5
    Total: +47 Store TP (16.9 Per swing)
    (Hagun is basically the same, except it uses Brutal during TP build which lets me use Rutter Sabatons during WS)

    Scenario 2: Soboro
    Food: Carbonara (Store TP +6)
    TP:
    Rajas Ring: 5
    Chiv. Chain: 1
    Fuma Sune-ate: 0 (Instead of Hachiman Sune-ate)
    Total: +47 Store TP (16.9 per swing)
    WS:
    Rajas Ring: 5
    Chiv. Chain: 1
    Brutal Earring: 1
    Rutter Sabatons: 0 (Again instead of Hachiman Sune-ate)
    Total: +48 Store TP (17.0 per swing)
    (Again, Hagun would be close, even closer than the first scenario because the only difference would be the addition of the Brutal Earring but that would not change the build for TP or WS)

    So, essentially it breaks down to this, is the loss in food stats from using Carbonara made up for by the 3% haste on the Fuma Sune-ate during TP and the attack and STR on Rutter Sabatons for WS? I have to admit I am kind of cheap when it comes to food, and Carbonara is 40k a stack while Coeurl Subs are anywhere from 4-10k. Is there is an equivalently price-ranged meat dish (to Carbonara) that could justify using the Hachiman over the Fuma and Rutters?

    Re: A SAM Food/Store TP gear question.

    Just did a quick search in somepage...
    Carbonara and Arabbiato are the only attack food that offer Store TP :/

    Unfortunately, Arabbiato is the more expensive alternative than Carbonara

    And taking the food cost out of the window, if you compare Carbonara to Coeurl sub, it's only 10 attack difference (you should have capped the bonus effect from Carbonara on 2hander). Given that you have COR for chaos roll and maybe BRD singing 1 minuet, you should have capped your pDIF on merit pt mob.
