SAM gear setup advice.

TP Setup (6-hit - Full sTP Merits):
Main: Ushikirimaru
Sub : Pole Grip
Rang: Expunger
Ammo:
Head: Askar Zucchetto
Neck: Chivalrous Chain
Ear1: Bushinomimi
Ear2: Brutal Earring
Body: Askar Korazin (Haubergeon when using Tomoe)
Hand: Dusk Gloves
Rng1: Rajas Ring
Rng2: Ulthalam's Ring
Back: Amemet Mantle +1
Wais: Swift Belt
Legs: Byakko's Haidate
Feet: Usukane Sune-ate


This is what I am currently doing for my TP build, w/ GK. I am debating switching back to my Hauby full time over Korazin as well as Turban over Zucchetto. Just not sure at this point, I think the dex/acc will make up for the dbl att anyday and since I am set as far as sTP w/ Rajas and Sune-ate.


Current WS builds are:

Gekko/Yuki/Kasha:
Head: Shura Zunari Kabuto
Neck: Soil/Snow Gorget
Ear1: Bushinomimi
Ear2: Brutal Earring
Body: Kirin's Osode
Hand: Myochin Kote +1
Rng1: Rajas Ring
Rng2: Ulthalam's Ring
Back: Cerberus Mantle
Wais: Warwolf Belt
Legs: Shura Haidate
Feet: Usukane Sune-ate

Debating Shura Haidate or Usukane Hizayoroi as well as Usukane Sune-ate or Askar Gambieras.


Rana/Penta:
Head: Shura Zunari Kabuto
Neck: Chivalrous Chain
Ear1: Bushinomimi
Ear2: Brutal Earring
Body: Haubergeon
Hand: Myochin Kote +1
Rng1: Rajas Ring
Rng2: Ulthalam's Ring
Back: Cerberus Mantle
Wais: Potent belt
Legs: Shura Haidate
Feet: Usukane Sune-ate

Same setup almost but more focus on acc in some spots. Should I consider not using Brutal Earring for these since dbl att does not really apply to anything more than the first hit and maybe an att/str earring would be better?


Not looking for flame as I consider all these well put together sets just want some added advice or suggestions to make them even better. Nearing completion of Usukane hands and head too so if think those fit in somewhere add them as well. Thanks in advance.

What are you fighting?

Edit: Also, what are you subbing?

I do have one question about Askar (don't have one ATM). How useful would it be if it allowed you to obtain a 6-hit if you didn't have Usakane and wanted to keep Dusk / Fuma?

I most likely will never do Salvage because I live in East Asia and won't be able to regularly attend in any shell. I've been using Carbonara to fill out my 6-hit while keeping Dusk / Fuma. So this really only revolved around things that steal food or situations where it wouldn't be economic / efficient to use Carbonara.

If you have 5/5 STP merits, you can use Rose Strap/Brutal/Rajas on TP and Rose Strap/Brutal/Rajas/Hachiman Sune-Ate/Myochin Haidate+1 on WS. This requires that you have done some Limbus though.

What I said was right.

11.5 TP Base from 450 Delay GKT
35 Store TP from Traits and merits
10 Store TP on the set I list for TP = 45 Store TP on TP
19 Store TP on the set I list for WS = 54 Store TP on WS

11.5 * 1.45 = 16.6 TP on TP set
11.5 * 1.54 = 17.7 TP on WS set

(5 hits * 16.6) + (1 hit * 17.7) = 100.7 TP in 6 hits.

Yeah, Rose Strap is god for non usu SAM's, means you can roll with a 25% haste 6-HIT whilst maintaining the ACC on Hauby+1.

If you use a White Tathlum, you can keep your PCC & TRing on w/o the need for cc or ecphoria.

There's more than a few ways you can work it now, I never bothered with Limbus for SAM, so AF+1 legs wasn't an option, although I do use Shura+1 for ws, so there are still ways you can squeeze extra STR and ACC into your setups. It just costs a lot of gilz.
