What's Better?

[Xno Kappa]

When using a 501 delay on DRK/SAM which would do better, Pole Grip or Rose Strap? Rajas/Brutal in TP build implied.

pretty sure you have a 6-hit w/o rose, so pole would be better.

Only has a 6-hit if 3/4 Guillo hits land I think.

For a resist build on Scholar (More resistant NMs and Monsters) what would be better?

Mahatma Slops or Druid's Slops?

Yah, this is most of the time though. If not, Meditate/getting hit etc. It's not 100% safe but on anything you will be Guillotining, you won't be left at 99% TP much.

Best belt for oshit build on paladin? Currently using trance for hp and since I already had it.
Thanks.

For QD would MACC+4/MACC+3 be better than AGI+5/AGI+5 for Accuracy?

[Dominico]

ACP body for SMN. Was thinking Perp -2 and was unsure about the second option. Maybe BP -4 or Acc/RAcc +7? I don't have YYR and doubt I'll be getting it anytime soon if it matters.

Most likely, yes. If it follows same rules as other stats AGI is sometimes 1 MACC and sometimes .5 depending on dAGI I guess, if your AGI is high enough cutoff would be 2.5 MACC vs. 5 AGI (which both rings exceed).

Don't waste your time with Druid's to be honest.

[Mazmaz]

Gonna ask this for 3rd time and hopefully get an answer this time.

Would you use augmented Beak Mantle with acc+5 DEX+1 over Forager's on WAR with 404 acc with aggressor down?

[Shinryuu]

No.

Its not even close to Mahtma?

[Thorny]

You're sacrificing 8 INT worth of damage to gain essentially 1 magic accuracy. There are better tradeoffs, and probably never a time where you'd get higher average damage from the druid's.

[Antithesis]

All right, thanks.

[Mosh]

INT4 (Diamond) versus Magic Acc +4 (Balrahn's, assuming outside of assault etc) when your BLM enfeeble set looks like this?

(Back is rainbow, hands leftover from previous set. Yes I know I need HQs, saving for Ares body atm)

Also, would an ele grip be better than Bugard+1?

[Raen Ryong]

INT4 will equal Macc4 at best. At worst, it will be worse, so Macc4 > INT4 for INT-based enfeebles where potency isn't an issue (lolblind).

The ele grips are better, but whether they're better enough to warrant the extra inventory space is entirely up to you.

That would be ridiculously difficult to do, so I doubt it, I have about a 93%~ (parsed) hit rate with sidewinder with 434 racc and pot-au-feu up on colibri (499~542 total, based on potential values listed on wiki, with no cap), but not every single one had food up for it, was preluded for some not for others, so it's not a very helpful piece of data by itself

Edit: I say about because 93%~ was the last number I remember seeing, I've had to wipe HD a few times so I lost the parse data, and this is a new laptop so I wouldn't have it on this one anyway, either way it was between 90% and 95%

I kind of remember hearing -40 at 100%, neutral at 150% in a different thread.

[Yubar]

For rng, is it better for me to sub sam, or sub war and try to build for a 6 hit using a V.bow? Provided I have no Skadi legs.

I wouldn't do BP-4 if AF+1 body is even a remote possibility for you (it also has BP-4). Perp-2 is a good call, as Penance body just doesn't exist (I think I've seen two in all my time playing; by comparison, I've seen about 6 times as many HQ e-bodies), and if YYR is out of the window then I'd guess penance is too. As for the second augment, I went for MAB/M.Acc because I'm aiming to pimp the merit pacts; if you're using physical ones mostly, then something for those seems a good idea, though I'd leave it to a more exprienced smn to debate the finer points. I mainly just wanted to cast my vote against BP-4.
