Assuming capped acc either way, would Osode be better than Hauberk +1 for Raging Rush if it's taking me from 47 dDEX to capped? Basically 4 STR 3% Crit Rate vs. 11 Attack if I'm not mistaken?

Whats better for monk, D.body (10acc,20att), or Mirk Wiredecorps(sp?) 5dex,5agi,5str, with added 10acc and 10 att.
Ls mate says d.body is still better, i think hes retarded.
thanks
Enkidu > Shura, go from there. Free 5 DEX.
With this new Sarissa polearm out, assuming you could get some decent augments, would Sarissa+Assault Earring beat out Skystrider+Supremacy Earring?
Idk, Jump TP bonus is pretty sick. But that's me.
I finally capped polearm on WAR. I don't get to use WAR a whole lot; my WAR is good, but I have a very good COR, BLM, and BRD, so...yeah. But I like to be prepared.
Most of my combat merits are going towards COR, so I don't really have any to allocate to polearm. I realize this means great axe may still be better for bird merits (I'll probably be COR for those anyway), but there's always Limbus, etc. I'm trying to come up with a good Penta setup, and I have questions about certain slots.
Weapon: I haven't finished unlocking Gondo yet; given the new evolith for Engetsuto, which is better now?
Grip: Pole
Ammo: Bomblet
Head: Ohat vs Maat's (guessing Ohat, especially with no merits)
Neck: PCC (don't have love torque or shadow gorget)
Ear1: Diabolos
Ear2: Brutal
Body: Hauberk +1 vs heca
Hands: Ares vs heca (guessing Ares)
Rign1: Toreador's
Ring2: Rajas
Back: Cuch
Waist: Life
Legs: Ares vs Byakko's
Feet: Ares vs Aurum (vs heca but yeah)
assuming capped acc on blu, for melee
Enkidu body or Nashira body
If your acc is capped completely without enki, then nashira.
WS DMG would be about equal because of the high STR mod in draksbane if acc is a issue then Sarrisa would do about 4% more but Amk WSacc+15 go go.
As for melee/DoT DMG Sarissa is prolly 2-3 DMG higher than Sky (after considering fSTR) so 2-3% higher dmg at 3% longer delay so that pretty much evens outs.
But then if ya consider Tp bonus from jump in skystrider you can get 1 free WS every 2 jumps (every 3 mins or 1 jump with some stp setups) meaning it prolly edges out over Sarissa.
but at the end of the day it's so close just ask ya self whats looks cooler ^^
You're giving skystrider way too much credit for a number of reason.
Skystrider isn't going to touch Sarissa in ws damage since you can swap assault ear for bushi/triumph ear during ws and 3 damage, acc, crit% will easily beat att/str of skystrider, and if for some reason you used MKD with skystrider you could drop it for heca from extra acc. And during TP Sarissa either has same delay[using sword strap over pole], or it has easier 6-hit then ie no Askar/Aurum body, and allows for something like Homam if acc is an issue that is a huge advantage either of which puts Sarissa ahead easily during TP. A few good evoliths in Sarissa for ws effects should allow it beat anything besides relic/mythic, and maybe V-fork.
Guillotine WS gear:
Creek M Mitts (HP+65 STR+6 VIT+3 AGI-3),
Tarasque Mitts +1 (CHR-6 Attack+12) or
Black gadlings (STR+4 Attack+8)?
Beyond which of those is best,
How much better would Alkys or Nhands perform than the best of those?
Any tips on feet appreciated too. Working to get Nfeet currently, also #1 for Ares but not gonna happen soon, currently use Aurum for acc.
Of those 3 listed I'd say the Gadlings are probably the best, STR adds one damage with WSC, and only 3 less attack than Tarasque.
Alky's are the best for pure damage if you don't need the accuracy, in terms of damage Heca is slightly better than AF+1 gloves, but overall AF+1 are an excellent combo of damage and accuracy.
Best damage guillotine feet are AF+1 for pure damage, NFeet are less damage but a bit more accuracy. Shit is, as they say, situational.
This is kinda long but;
1. Hecatomb Cap (STR+11 DEX+5) Vs. Gnadbhod's Helm (STR+6 DEX+4 Att+8) vs. Assassin's Bonnet +1 (DEX+6) for THF which one wins for SADE and SA. Where does Skadi's Visor Fit in here? I'd guess it's not as good as heca.
2. Skadi's Visor (DEX+4 AGI+4 Att+6) vs. Denali Bonnet (AGI+4 Att+3) vs. Enkidu's Cap (DEX+3 AGI+3 Acc+8) Which wins for TADE? I'm guessing Skadi's, and Skadi's only beats denali by +3 att for solo TA.
3. Skadi's Cuirie vs. Dragon Harness vs. Antares Harness for SA,SADE, and TADE. Denali Body for solo TA (the AGI+10 Att+9).
4. Skadi's Legs vs. Homam Legs for TP for THF? STP+7 vs. Haste+1%
5. Hecatomb Feet vs. Enkidu Feet (STR+6 DEX+3 vs. DEX+3 AGI+3 Att+4) for SA, SADE.
All of the above were for thf, but this ones for DRG;
6. Askar Body vs. Zahak's Mail I've been hearing Zahak's wins on Drakesbane, but wanted to be sure. And does penta thrust ever beat drakesbane? If zahak's wins, should i be maxing out DEX for drakesbane instead of STR.
Just to throw in a random question: If anyone can give me an idea of how att works in WS. Or at least compare it to STR for DRG or STR, DEX, AGI for THF SAs, TAs, SADE, and TADE.
And is there any reason to get Skadi's Feet on thf (I have Striders for movement speed) or any reason for skadi's hands on thf (I have rogue's armlets+1 for 15% AGI Bonus)
Also, if there's anything better than what I listed above, if you can tell me what's better. Your help is much appreciated.
Lava/Kusha or Rajas/Ulth for mnk?
8/8 h2h merits and the following gear:
destroyers/-/-/smart grenade (working on astrolabe atm)
turban/pcc/brutal/ruby w/att+5
mirke haub/o.kote/ring1/ring2
cerb mantle/brown belt/byakkos/fuma
Rajas/Sniper and spend the time you would've spent camping the NMs getting real gear instead. There's no excuse for smart grenade and NQ cerberus mantle.
Humble suggestions:
Tiphia sting (can resell when you get Astro), Minuet earring when active (assuming you don't have Hollow), Noritsune kote, Cuchulain's or at the very least an Amemet +1. Then, if you're serious about MNK, all of your resources should go to black belt items (can sell Cuchulain's as an efficient intermediate solution).
