Thought so too when acc/dw mirke came on the scene.

It was dead when acc/DW mirke came to be when you are /nin leaving homam for non /nin times (90% dead). Then Dnc got DW (98% dead). Then Thf got DW at 83 (100% dead).

New body looks nice but i find it hard to be terribly impressed for some reason. Usually if something like this came out id be all nerdgasm, but its hard for me to care. Maybe its knowing that AF3 body will likely blow this to hell in 3 months. Maybe its that i dont have any acc issues in the slightest anymore as we are in the process of out-leveling our opponents. Whatever the case, i am not in the slightest bit excited about this piece.

I think I'm still gonna continue to Limbus to get the thing, just in the vain hope that SE will allow me to store the set by level 99.

I guess if THF was your only job then this was true. But there are jobs that gain far more from an ACP body than THF does and you can only have one ACP body.

RNG for one.

THF has numerous alternatives. RNG has Osode (which is really a WS piece that you also TP in because RNG doesn't get a good TP piece) and Loldogi (which is absolute sh*t).

Corsair also benefits from an ACP body with a Quickdraw delay reduction combined with MAB. It's a specialized piece, but there's no other piece that can replace its function. Very useful especially if you solo mobs with the kite QD method.

True dat. The menu just isnt coded with a 4th digit since this game was designed back at what 50-60 caps. 999 was literally impossible to get so it made sense i suppose. Atk goes past 999 both directly (buffed up DD war/war with zerk/chaos/red curry/minuets etc) and indirectly via atk bonus WS like gekko/man stab etc.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to cap attack on anything with ~500 def (or even lower for 2handers as they have a higher ratio cap). This was not terribly problematic before as there are an exclusive few things in the game with that much Def (though there are lots once you include def buffs......like those new lv 90+ IT to 85s crabs in Mount Z with 50% def boost up /shudder). But as we level, this will be more and more annoying just to try to measure your atk accurately without a calculator. At 99, any 2hander with some atk gear and zerk up should be scrapping 999. Toss in food, or just BEING a drk/war and you will have to friggin calculate your atk with a pencil and paper every time you do anything just to know wtf it is.

Atk might as well be a hidden stat along with acc at that point.

A taste of RNG's medicine, yummy. Us RNGs don't even KNOW what one of our best foods does (Pot-au-feu). We just know it's ranged pizza.

Has a cone AOE that drops you to 5% HP and encumbers all your slots for 30 seconds.

Has "occasionally does triple damage"

Normal melee hits take 2-4 shadows

Has En-stun and en-amnesia

Either has auto-meditate or can just use abilities whenever it wants.

High evasion and DEF to lvl 85.

Moves at slower than normal speed.


EDIT:

Forgot to mention that it gives 4000 exp.
