Osode unless fSTR2 is capped which it typically won't be on anything worthwhile.

6% crit. hit rate vs 1 base dmg, 5 acc, 5 att, parrying skill +10, Subtle Blow +5.

6% may look like a huge increase in damage, but it really is not SO big. You have to considerer it only applies to melee damage, and as a polearm SAM the balance is clearly on the ws side. Say you are doing 40% melee damage, 60% ws, the 6% crit is only benefiting you a 40% of the time. Also, assuming not capped hit rate, 5 acc turns out to be approximately 2,5% higher % acc, plus 5 att and 1 base damage always benefiting your hits and ws. I would say Tomoe is always going to win. Most stuff you'll use polearm on are weak, and thus, crit. hits are not as good as if they were on really tough mobs. If you are going to be tanking, the parrying skill and SB cant be overlooked either, I guess.

Sorry, but doesn't the crit apply to WS?

this is slightly a late reply, have been busy.

idk about everyone else but i just use enough acc to be capped. The tp more valuable to me than the actual dmg of the jump

this is what I do aside from AF/relic for huge +att% on them.

Sam af/relic gives +att% on jump?

These are my 2 builds. You will notice the extra VIT/STR/ATT on Jump dmg, and the accuracy on it is extremely high (I recall several merit parties where I wouldn't miss any Jumps, and at most you will miss 1/20)

High Jump I mostly just focus on ACC and a little ATT as its pretty difficult to boost its dmg on SAM from what I have seen, and I really just want it to land for the TP.

Triple proc Soboro Jumps/HJ are insane too - especially when it gets in a regular multi hit swing but skips the animation as your are punching the macro. Pop WS, hit J/HJ macro, land with 120+ TP. Love the fact that the J/HJ animation has 0 interrupt on ws timing too, much fun on Soboro SAM.

Is character creation on Odin still closed?

[nivlakian]

At 3 / 7 merits, Faith gives you 7 acc and 7 att versus 10 acc on PCC and 11 on ancient. At any other merit level it's 6 acc / 7 att on Faith.

Shouldn't this be 3 / 8 merits, faith gives 7 acc and 7 att?

Merits	SkillOver200	Acc	Acc+Torque	Difference
0		76			68	74			6
1		78			70	76			6
2		80			72	78			6
3		82			73	80			7
4		84			75	81			6
5		86			77	83			6
6		88			79	85			6
7		90			81	87			6
8		92			82	89			7

Acc and Acc+Torque are floored after multiplying by 0.9

question about goliard set bonus. Says set: magic defense bonus, but wiki states 10% magic damage reduced, is this true?

[Arximiro]

I have a random question. I assume it is correct but the Wiki says both Light and Shadow Gorgets work for Kasha. My question is does Shadow work for Kasha or is that a typo?

[el_tio]

OK so, anyone know evasion / defense statistics for merit-level Mamool Ja? (i.e. blusterer, philosopher, lurker, etc.)

[Wolfknight]

I have a random question. I assume it is correct but the Wiki says both Light and Shadow Gorgets work for Kasha. My question is does Shadow work for Kasha or is that a typo?

it does because yukikaze > kasha makes compression[dark], so both work.

Kasha has Fusion and Compression SC elements, Fire, Light, and Shadow will all work.

I was stupid and told my Chocobo the wrong story when trying to learn bore, and it learned canter by mistake. It already has burrow on it, if I use an item to unlearn abilities and it takes off burrow, is it possible for me to get the story key item again?

[BerenTebogo]

Static vs. Moldy

MB+5% vs MAB+5

How, if at all, is there any difference between these two?
