Samurai gear?Follow

Hey,
just asking for a little advice on my gear and asking for ratings of it...
Ive kinda hit a dead end for what to get thats not stupidly expensive or hard to get aha.

Heres my gear..:
Weapons
Hagun, Soboro Sukehiro, Ushikirimaru, windslicer, Engetsuto
Pole Grip, Mythril grip+1
Shieto bow
Tiphia sting, Attar sachet

Main Body pieces
Walahra turban, Shura Zunari Kabuto, Optical hat, Myochin Kabuto
Nuevi coselete, Kirin Osode, Shura Togi, Shinimusha hara-ate
Dusk gloves, Myochin gloves+1, Saotame kote, Ochoidos kote, seiryus kote
Byakkos haidate, Shura Haidate, Saotame Haidate
Fuma sune-ate, Saotame Sune-ate, Hachiman sune-ate

Misc pieces
Chivalrous chain, snow gorget, diabolos's torque
Brutal earing, Bushinomimi, ethreal earring, beaters earring
Rajas ring, snipers ring, flame ring, behemoth ringx2
Foragers mantle, Amemet mantle+1, Boxers mantle,
Potent belt, swift belt, warwolf belt

As you see its not all just for one sub, i have my polearm, archery and great katana capped, and the subs are: WAR, NIN, DNC, THF, DRG, RNG.

I have 5/5 STR, 8/8Great katana, 5/5Overwhelm, 5/5Meditate, 4/4Critical hit and working towards my store TP,
i also have some in other merits which are not relevent to my damage ie. Shikikyoyo

The gear that i know i am going to try and get and with luck get is the following(some of this gear will take a while. /cry):
Justice torque
Usukane Feet
Askar body
Askar head
Peacock charm
Dusk gloves+1
Speed belt
Alky bracelets
Tomoe

Any ideas on how i can improve on my max damage through 'obtainable' gear?

Thanks :)

Hauby?

All right,
Well im on my way to working towards my alky, i have something like 500k so it shouldnt be to long, just spent a load on some PLD stuff lol.
And after i have this my PCC will become my focus.

After i obtain the askar body i'll do some thinking about the NC and look into how stp and acc work etc.

Then possibly, if i like, go for the hauby+1 but that might be a while lol.

My average damage at the moment would be about 1200 per weaponskill (not counting sekk coz of the thing where it does not stack with Tp bonus etc) but i want to try to push this higher, to at least 1300-1400.
Obviously i do some wierd damage every now and then which will exceed this, (1600-2000) but i guess that must be a critical hit?

Thanks anyway for the help, any more suggestions anyone?

ohh i see, that might be an okay thing to get also...

i thought it would have been critical, ahh well double attack just as good :D

thanks :D

V Colibri:
111 for soboro
127 for Hagun
131 for Onimaru Ushikiri

add 10 STR for most mamool (18 for NINs)

Really though, if you're tping in that much STR there is probably something wrong already.
While this is true, if you can make two upgrades it suddenly becomes well worth it again, so there usually isn't reason "not" to upgrade as much as you can even if you don't get immediate benefit. There isn't anything better than flame to put in that slot anyways.

note on DA: if you can go up 1WSC it will do slightly more for your avg dmg than adding 1%DA, which means that say Hachiman domaru will usually be better than Askar or +DA NC for WS (since 8STR raises your WSC by 2 more than 5STR most of the time), and Osode is the best WS body hands down.

Ah okay, well my str doesnt land on a bolded number in total.
Im an ELV female, with 5 STR merits bringing my base STR to 80, and with my weaponskill gear i get around 139 STR.

Im not really sure how you worked out the maths XD.
Any one tell me if what i ahve is good? 139 STR(in total) with the hagun.
The only DA pieces that i weaponskill in it the brutal earring and polegrip- if thats any good.

Thanks :)

ohhh i see i get it now lol.
hmm, one last thing that i need to understand about the maths,
what does pDIF stand for?
I get the WSC, fSTR, fDMG.
lol

thank youuuu!
