What's Better?

[Despain]

Polearm on birds. Always. I've exp'd with a lot of SAMs with/without Soboro, with/without Polearm at both lessers, regular, and greaters.

Polearm has always trumped GKT. Piercing bonus is too amazing to ignore imo.

Friend was told that Mirke with DW3% acc 10 is a better body piece than 4% haste one for THF....

If this is true, he wants to know why Turban is better than Denali Head

(he's adamant).

Help me convince him the ways!

So he thinks 10 Acc = 3 Attack?

^ 10 ACC is 5% hit rate, 3 attack is lol.

Its not that complicated. Uncapped Acc and low haste buffs, Acc/DW Mirke will win. High Acc, high haste buffs, Rapparee will win.

That said, if he really needs an explanation as to why Turban is better than Denali, you're better off just giving up on him.

I Thought general rule was TP in Crimson WS in Seiryu (or another applicable hand).
And for legs I'd WS in enkidu until hiachiryruririiru pants.
(then again my ranger is 39).

Since I don't have usu body and don't want to use askar body. Sword Strap -3% delay vs dusk gloves?

Crimson are better to TP in, also TP with rajas in order to knock it down to a 6-hit for O/S bows. I would also WS with enkidu.

[zaps]

sweet, thanks for the help guys =D

[Starr]

I TP and WS in OHat on RNG, I wouldn't change that unless I got Barbut tbh, also noticed that Demon Arrows and Darksteel bolts are the same price on Pheonix so I'm just gonna use some Holys and lots of DS with OBow, I have Vali's bow but I think Obow/DS is faster and stronger.

Capping Racc comes first. If you don't reach the cap without kote, use kote.

As for legs, ask yourself do I need the store TP to keep an x-hit build. If yes, use whatever is most applicable; else try to get Pahluwan Seraweels, as they are the best WS piece aside from Hachiryu. If you need the AP(as I see you do salvage), Id go with Skadi > Enkidu.

Aside from obvious upgrades, I do notice you're low on the ACC side of your WS set. Unless you're eating sushi, Id swap to a heavier ACC build. Sidewinder has a native -acc penalty on it(I hear it is -30 but I haven't seen proof or parses to back that up nor have I gone and tested it out) and you're -32 gear wise(compared to your TP). So you're either 32 acc over cap on your TP set, or you're not hitting 95% WS acc; which will do more for your damage than +STR/attack gear will give.

[zaps]

with that in mind i was contemplating switching out my flame ring for a behe if acc is an issue.

thanks for the input^^

I'm trying to decide whether to get my Moogle hat for BLM or COR. I suppose I could get it for my WAR, which is pretty nicely geared, but I don't get to use WAR often at all.

For COR, I already have AF+1 and Maat's Cap (a Moogle hat would be for WS). For BLM...Maat's again (I have AF+1, but eh). In either case, it seems like a rather marginal increase (but then, I'm basically at the point for both jobs where that's all I have left).

BLM with HMP . . . no really nothing much else its gonna be a marginal increase no matter what job you chose .
