What's Better?

[Wolfknight]

Would the Str4/dex 4 neck be worth it over Gorget for crit based WS? (reasonable amount of dex built up).

It can be under very specific usage when these conditions meant:
A. Acc remains capped when neck piece is changed.
B. Your dDEX is >45, and is <50.
C. It has a decent mod for str, and/or dex such as blade: jin, Drakesbane, or RR.

And that'll vary heavily from mob to mob. I was debating on my first Ein item....

Omega is decent for drk magic set (DRK)
Bucc is good for cor WS.
Iota is a decent alternative to a dex ring for crit WS.
Kub has str/dex.. baw.

I'd go for something else first unless you have blu to use the beads as well.

75 SAM I don't have / will not get Busho or Hollow earrings what would be the next thing to go with brutal?

I currently use Fowling for TP, Triumph on YGK, and Fowling on WS for penta/rana.

That's pretty much you're best choice besides active mineut[but you should be getting march anyways unless double brd], or there is always ACP7 key for chance of copy of hollow earring those best options besides Augmenting something I suppose.

Quick question: Is it worth using the elemental grips over Bugard +1 on BLM for enfeebles? I do right now, but they really eat up space...

Wyvern Earring?

They are better than Bugard+1, but the difference is minor. Whether they are worth the space is very subjective, personally I take differing ones based on the event.

Follow-up question: Is there some kind of "cap" on Magic Accuracy? Like a point after which it is no longer effective?

There is a cap on 'land rate', which you can see if you sleep rabbits in East Ron, eventually 1 will resist (even if it is only 1/2 duration).

But (speaking with no numbers to back me up) the cap on land rate is higher than 95%.

[mdkuser]

Also I assume that is your pizza build? Seems like for hnms it would still be under cap. What is your total acc with it? And dont talk about bird stuff because we all know in any meripo polearm is miles ahead of gkt.

The gear in my avatar is kind of a "joke gear" but I actually use it in dynamis and such. It's got 385 accuracy pre food. If I merit or einherjar, I switch in more acc gear of course, and can get up to ~405 acc pre food/pre hasso, so 460 with pizza and hasso. As for /drg versus /war, well I usually only do dynamis on sam, and always /nin there, sometimes einherjar but only if I can /war. But once you're at 23% haste, /drg is not that great versus war: 2% haste vs 10 DA, berserk: /war wins imo.

[Eole]

Seconded, with that equipment I'd /WAR.

[Shinryuu]

Might be a little bit different if you can fulltime hasso and you have haste samba, but in general I'm definitely agreeing. Berserk is still nice for your melee damage.

[SwaggerlikeKillquick]

Thx for the replies and I have a wyvern earring for /DRG.

Cannonball: Mirage Shalwar, Magus Shalwar +1, or Enkidu's? (don't have the 3rd one yet).

[Nightfyre]

Enkidu's > Magus +1 > Mirage

[Kyte]

Enkidu's

[Wolfknight]

Enkidu's > Magus +1 > Mirage

While enkidu is best, I am not sure about the other option since 3 str vs 5 vit and 3 def[5.5 with vit], it seems to me that the str would win, but I am not certain on math for cannonball.

[azagarth]

nvm confused body w/ legs

[Zellgadiss]

What's better for Leaden Salute? Uggalepih Pendant or Soil gorget?
I messed around with the two in campaign battle a bit, but nothing extensive.

this is currently what I'm using for it.
head is STR+4 AGI+4 ws acc+15 ws dmg +2%
body is MAB +4 QD -5
belt/back non relevant. (have Anrin obi if it effects dmg, haven't worked on spellcast for that yet)

[Nightfyre]

Mirage: 3*.25+3*.5*.83=1.995

Magus +1: 5*.5*.83=2.075

Even before the additional defense AF+1 beats relic.

EDIT: Leaden Salute: Gorget is a 2.5% increase in damage due to 4.0 fTP. Uggalepih Pendant should be superior by a fair margin.
