The "you should have 10% haste before bothering with haste" guideline is kind of old. 1 point of Haste will increase your DoT by 1% whether you have 1 haste, 3 haste or 10 haste. I.E you should use haste where it is better than your current gear whether you have Haidate or not.

Don't let the lack of Haidate deter you from using a Haste setup. Acc-wise, you're not missing much (acc is basically the same between Armada and Haidate) and you have more than enough other great gear that will let you switch from your current acc/atk setup to a more Hastey flavor. My generic recommendations:

Dusk Gloves: You may have Homam from DRK (considering the rest of your gear, you may even be able to switch from Homam > Dusk on that job too) but a worthwhile purchase none the less.

Swift Belt: Not much to say here - you'll lose 5 acc, 5 atk and 3 STR for 4% Haste. Worthwhile imo. Keep it for WS, obviously. Or switch to Life/Warwolf, like Nila said, which is what I do too.

Turban/Askar Zuchetto: Bla bla, Haste in the head slot bla bla.

Together with your Aurum Boots, that's 14% Haste (13% with Askar Zuchetto), which is still nothing to scoff at. Couple that Haste with your already great acc gear, merits, Haste/March and you're golden. Haidate are obviously best but you're pretty fucking solid as it is.

P.S. - Kinda joking, but pull the "OMFG I have a god damn Adaberk for Christ's sakes! Move me up the Haidate list!" on your LS.

I've known several people like that, actually. We were at a point of doing Ground much more than Sky, so it just happened that way. Kind of hilarious to see E.Bodies and Barone shorts, really.

No.


He's scared of hieghts! Lulz

And omfg 2% parse difference amirite?

I miss mittens

And now you're inspiring the next generation.

I wouldn't touch Alkys at all, and while Hachiryu Kote is a nice chunk of DEX, I wouldn't think the 6 DEX would outweigh the 7 STR you're giving up between them and Hecatomb.

That's the way it was for the long amount of time I was waiting for mine. Then after I got it they started dropping every time since. We've had like 6 in a row lately.

And OMG Suzaku finally dropped N feet last night for the first time in months, which puts me next on the list.
