What's Better?

[Yugl]

What the hell is he wearing on SAM?

Good question, I'll have to ask.

My moneys on DOMARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Well as the debate for DRK is askar vs homam, I am going to say he full times Askar on SAM for his 6hit. (Askar + rajas + brutal full timed = 6hit)

@OP

Hauberk (or Haubergeon if you need it for SAM) is easily the best. The NQ only has 1.25 accuracy less than homam (the HQ has 1.5 more) combined with the attack and STR makes it far better.

If he must pick between the two, then Askar for campaign and T mobs, Homam for the rest.

But more importantly, tell him to stop being an idiot and drop the 200k for the piece that's significantly better than both of the mentioned options.

[jimbobsonofgod]

Or he can just fag up his Nuevo Coselete

which makes baby Jesus cry everytime I see a Nuevo with +acc +att. . . .

[Starr]

200k? I am annoyed I paid 130k a couple of weeks ago and they were selling for 100k the other day, the guy's a lazy idiot if he doesn't wanna buy a Haubergeon.

I've recently capped polearm for my SAM and had some questions about how much accuracy I will need on WS vs. pink birdies. Specifically, if I can get away with using Shura head and Warwolf Belt over O-hat and Life Belt. I have one merit in polearm. Here's the rest of my gear I was planning on using for WS, any other suggestions welcome.

Main: Engetsuto
Sub: Pole Strap
Ammo: Tiphia
Neck: PCC
Ear1: Brutal
Ear2: Fowling
Body: Haub
Hands: Myochin +1
Ring1: Rajas
Ring2: Woodsman
Back: Amemet +1
Legs: Byakko's
Feet: Hachiman

Besides the obvious upgrades (white boxes, Usukane, Tomoe), am I doin it rite? I've not actually used the build in merits yet. Also, besides the Head and Waist questions, I was thinking about getting a Hollow Earring for this build. Would this be a significant upgrade over Fowling, or would my AN earring be better served on another job, most likely RDM? I have Bushinomimi for GKT stuff.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

O.Hat + Life Belt

[Kirschy]

Shit is situational of course~ But in general what is considered the best TP piece for PLD(For keeping close to capped enmity)?

I imagine it's something like this:
For mobs where you'll be taking random magic damage, Avalon Breastplate. (Few accuracy trade off for +3 Enmity and MG Down-5% leads to overall higher enmity.)

For everything else Haub+1~

Any experiences/math would be nice~

O.Hat + Life Belt

My polearm build is under acp without meat in all acc for ws and 10~20 over cap with sushi in a more str/dex/atk oriented setup. So really we need to know if the op is spamming sushi or not first.

I find that lot of stuff the tougher stuff i melee a real issue is hitting for 0, which you could essentially count as a miss (since you don't get any tp or hate). I'd always use haub over a vanilla +acc body like avalon or homam in those situations.

As for taking magic damage i usually have my finger near a button that swaps on magic % down gear (without swapping sword/shield) if i'm tanking something that might shoot out -ga spells or something.

I'd probably be spamming sushi, yes.

wat aboot Hydra Haubert?

[Cream Soda]

Askar body ftw

[Gustave]

What about Ares's Cuirass? No acc but large amount of attack and str to help out the 0's along with about a 65 hp difference from hydra haubert(maxhp/dmg taken less enmity lost etc.)depending on race and 1mp/refresh. I always liked the stats on avalon but hated the model.


When does Vit/def compare to -PDT? Mainly looking at Dark ixion idle set during aura mode/normal mode. Trying to lower my dmg taken from stampedes/kicks/rampart stance when I can't dodge. Food = HQ tav taco. Anyways discuss!

Dorado Sushi and enmity ACP body?

I prefer to use ares and replace ballad 1 with madrigal

[Raen Ryong]

I use Hauby+1 and normally insist on a Madrigal over a 2nd Ballad in an Atonement-friendly environment just because I seldom need that much MP.

Of course, I often have a tank who believes in no gear swapping, full enmity only etc etc so <_< I don't always get to choose songs.

[Limlight]

i'm spoiled and demand double march, ballad, madrigal and make tp in ares :-p
