Yes, this is another Rose Strap question. I would have posted in the other topic but it's so horribly derailed.
I'm currently using Hachiman Kote +1 in my TP set to get the 6 hit. I picked up a Rose Strap and I was wondering if I should use that instead of the Hachiman Kote +1? I'm 1 TP short on my 6 hit, but I have a 5 hit after I WS. Should I just keep the strap and sell the kotes? I know the Ecphoria Ring will get me the extra +1 STP, but will that be a wise decision to swap in for my Iota Ring?

I'd definitely swap Iota for Ecphoria, loss of 1 ACC so you keep your 6-HIT after missed WS@s (5%) of the time probably does more for you, then again, after DA proc ws's (with first hit miss) or if Zanshin procs (if zanshin can proc on ws) you'll be able to get your 100% 6HITS after WS.
If you were using a Sniper+1 or Torreador's ring, I'd find a way of fitting more STP in else where. Hachiman feet is a good option, you only sacrfice 1STR of Marine M or rutter's.

Ok, maybe I'll swap in Ecphoria then. My current SAM gear is as follows in case it might change anything....this was before the Rose Strap change.

I know, lol @ the Hachiman Domaruuuuuu, but I'm not a SAM main, I only use it for a few things, so I never bothered getting an Osode. My WS set gives me 17 TP return on it, so I only needed 5 more hits to get 100 TP assuming I didn't miss at all. Would this make a difference in choosing the Ecphoria at all?

Hachiman is a perfectly fine WS body
Wise/Funny quotes go here
you get 16.6 TP/hit if you switch rose with pole and put on dusk gloves. 16.6 * 5 = 83, meaning you need exactly 17 TP from your WS.
since you can't take rose strap off for WS, that's 4 sTP as a given. brutal and rajas are also WS staples above and beyond sTP, so you're at 10 total.
to get 17 TP, you need 48 sTP (35 from traits and meditate), so you're 3 short. you can get from keeping your domaru (which is indeed a fine WS body; what's better, 2STR on WS or a 6hit?) or switching to hachiman sune-ate and upgrading body to osode (net gain of a whopping 1 STR unless you HQ). WSing in askar body is another option, as 2% DA is about 1% WS DoT, which is comparable to the 3 STR you lose (plus, if ATT isn't capped, the ATT on askar can help, while ACC will always be capped).

Rajas, Brutal, Ecphoria and Rose Strap will allow you to keep Haste in every important slot. WSing in Rose Strap, Rajas, Brutal, and AF+1 pants will keep your 6hit too. Definitely pick up the strap, it's a loss of 1 or 3 accuracy depending on your ring for 3% haste.

Gekko is the best because it gets the biggest att boost, that doesn't mean you should stop using Yuki or Kasha to close SC's with.
There are instances where DMG from Gekko is comparibly lower than it should be, and the only explanation to a mob that has no physical dmg resistance is its defence is to high maybe from its natural + self def buffs.
In these cases I really don't know what to advise. If Gekko doubles attack, then a piece with a large amount of att like Askar body and Foragers could well be the best option, I really can not give an answer to that kinda thing though, and I can't remmember ever really seeing any theory on it.
Say for example Gekko double's your attack, then Forgagers + Askar would net you an additional 42att + 2% DA at the sacrifice of 4-5WSC (or 8STR over Osode+smildon+1).
Ok f'k it, i'll try doing some math of my own. Random lvl90 mob has 100VIT & 450defence (that could include defence traits & a self buff or w/e)
situation: Your eating Pizza+1 so you have ACC to hit the actual mob, but its not a zerg, and you get March's if your lucky which has no play in this.
You WS in 130STR & 460att (the standard Osode+Smildon setup)- we're gonna see which is better, 8STR or 42att+2%DA (the 42att is the additional att after the att from 8STR has been subtracted)
Your using a Hagun, so Base damage is 75 + (130*0.75*0.83) + ((130-100+4)/4) = 163
pDIF (using our attack value doubled) = 920 / 450 - 0.75 = 1.29
ftp = 1.975 (ws @ 100% + gorget), Double Attack is 5% (using /DRG sj + Rose strap), Overwhelm is 19%.
(163 * 1.975 * 1.29 * 1.19) + (163 * 1.29 * 1.19 * 0.05) = 506DMG (Osode + smildon+1)
Instead of Osode+Smildon, we now have Askar+Foragers which is -8STR +42att + 2%DA
Base DMG = 156
pDIF = 1.39
DA = 7%
(156 * 1.975 * 1.39 * 1.19) + (156 * 1.39 * 1.19 * 0.07) = 527DMG (Askar body + Foragers)
Make what you want out of that, but doing that same comparison with colibri with 327defence and 67VIT
pDIF with Osode + Smildon = 2.45, Base DMG is 171
pDIF with Askar + Foragers is 2.59, Base DMG is 164
Osode + smildon Gekko = 984 + 24 = 1008
Askar + Foragers Gekko = 998 + 35 = 1033
Ok, so to ppl who can read that np - whats up there? Am I wrong presuming Gekko double's your attack? From the testing done by this guy on BG i was on the right lines.
EDIT: Someone plz elaborate - is Foragers + Askar Korazin really better than Osode + Smildon+1 for Tachi: Gekko?

Setup is fine, you dont need the ring since you are ws'ing in Domaru body. If you ever decide to get Osode for sam(thought Osode was good for war too for SC/RR) then you can use the ring to tp in, or just was in hachi feet(if osode is on) difference is w/e your ring was to ecph vs 1 str.

Is Dia II being tossed into the mix? wouldnt that make some difference to the result aswell? If it does make a difference, I see no reason not to add it into the equation.
Also if the math that you just calculated is true, then Osode+ Foragers would be better than Askar+Foragers
75+(128*.075*.083) + ((128-100+4)/4) = 162
We would be adding 28att since you lose only 1att from 2str from 130.
pDIF = 948/450 -.075 = 1.36
Keeping the rest the same, OW%,DA%
(162* 1.975* 1.36* 1.19)+ (162* 1.36* 1.19* .05) = 530

But if att for Gekko is doubled, 12att on Askar + 15att on Foragers = 27
27x2=54
Then, because we lose 8STR in the process, 8STR yields 6att, 6*2 = 12
54att - 12att = 42att, which was the number I used
So its 42att + 2% DA VS 8STR
In the comparison with a high VIT / Defence mob, the Askar/Forager combo won by 4.2%
In the Colibri combo, the Askar/Forager combo won by 2.6%
So if DIA II/III was being applied, it would probably come out just about even, if you had att buffs like Choas or Corsair's then it'd probably lose.
What you said about 2STR = 1att, thats not the case for 2H right? Even if it was, it'd push the Askar/Forager's combo ahead further.
If it was Yuki or Kasha, it would be completely different because the att buff's they receive were tested to be a lot lower.

Is there any testing I can look at for this aside from the low sample size one on BG?

Huh?
Thats not what I was implying by 28att
28att is for Osode+ Foragers, which would beat out Askar+Foragers going with the same calculation as yours.
130str .75 = 97att(97.5)
128str .75 = 96 att
So as you implied that 460 att with 130str for the usual osode+smil setup, when you take of the smil and add in the foragers, str wise its only 2 str off(1att) so its 459, now you get +15att from foragers, 474, x2(gekko) 948, which is 28att more than the osode/smil combo. Add in the math I put in above and you get 530 which beats the askar/forage combo by a small margin of 3.
ahh my bad lol
EDIT: so does this math basically say that Forager's > Smildon +1 for Gekko?
I know your a mathspert Hito, and I know other regulars who know the math have read this by now too. If this is correct, then this changes things a little bit right? If it is correct, then it can't just be dismissed.

There probably are situations where atk is important, and if you're not capping atk is definitely important (2x as much as it used to be :p), but I feel it's more productive to get the the right buffs/debuffs than rework gear for the nitch.

if you want to compare smil+1 v foragers don't include askar v osode too then not mention it after the fact, it's bad practice;
True, but it was more because (forgetting the att on the 2 pieces for now) each piece is about 2STR better - Osode's 10STR being around 2STR better than 5STR+2DA, and Smildon's 5STR being better than Forager's 3STR. Each piece then has a substantial amount of att on after that 12&15.
When it comes to pDIF testing, ratio of ~2.6 sounds correct because i'm sure ppl were seeing numbers of up to ~3.0pDIF non-crits, but i've only seen BG testing and BG's conversion of SG - i'm english myself, and can't understand any Japanese :( I wanted you guys to post + more anyway shinta + Bs

Wouldn't that fall under SIS? We could at least find the ratio where
Forager's is > Smildon+1 and vis-versa, then let ppl decide which one is more productive in the long run?

Taking a break.
Posted about pDIF recently in the THF forums too, as far as I can tell, testing from the last time all that stuff was messed with showed cRatio capping at around 2.25-2.3 with the pDIF range from 1.9-2.7

That sounds about right for 1H'ers, but not for 2h's
Taking a break.
1H's cap at 2 cRatio (1.6-2.4 pDIF), though it may have been extended slightly after one of the patches, it's still basically correct.

No, what they added was a randomizer which adds 1.00 to 1.05, which can apply to anything. It makes crits max out at 3.15 and 1h pdif can max out ~2.52 or so. Atleast, back when this was in full discussion, that's what was found out/concluded. Starfox was the one who posted the info iirc.
Hmmm, got any links to the testing? Been trying to read whatever info is out lately since pDIF is just way more complicated then it should be, lol.

google stuff like 'allakhazam starfox pdif kensho' other terms 'milich hand-to-hand update dune boots kick attacks cratio' and whatever other seemingly relevant terms you can find. starfox found the tests in japanese, and he explains how you can make sense of 1h pDIF if there's a random multiplier.
edit: found this by googling exactly that sh*t i wrote up there.
