I'll take it with a grain of salt, and check my numbers when the servers come back up. My ws set (interchangeable with zmail): (LS working on upgrading when we get back too, want to get rid of that stupid fowling earring, and possibly cape for atheling.)
Have no sea yet? =o
Rajas = sea access :D. But no, ABCs are hard to find on my server for some reason o_O. Limbus parties, even harder.
Ah right, stupid me! xD
But yea, it's the other side of the medal, so to speak. Old content has dried out. :/
At least you have a good about the gear set, even if not having the best gear available, yet! That's still a lot worht it. =P

Should I move away from the belt, and pick up one of the 'sea' ones in heroes areas? I have ~861 atk with this set with temps.

Yes, your DDex crit rate will cap but that doesnt mean your overall crit rate caps. It's easy to test yourself. Throw on GH and RR and you already easily crit more than half the time.

Zahak's >>>

Also, your point about ddex also means that the +4 str/dex on body will have less effect for ws as well (being that you should be able worry less about fSTR/dDex/ and attack v. defense etc). On top of that, Crit can affect your ws in this case (drakesbane). More crit is always good for crit based ws (especially multihit). Thats exponentially more chances for your 3% to make a difference. Especially when youre stacking crit.

Assuming capped Ddex RR scorpion queen and crit hit merits your base crit hit rate should be ~ 64%. So even at 100% tp assuming you are capped pdif pdif 3% crit rate is 1.1% increase in dmg. Sure that will win in that situation. But then that's like perfect conditions for it. What if you overflowed tp? What if you weren't capped pdif (you probably aren't) what if you ws in 10 store tp lets you make other choices like getting rid of that goddamn rajas in your ws set. Maybe help you chose another atma. Like one that gives 20% instead of just 10% crit rate. Or a str one or triple attack etc

Some conceptual errors here. Crit rate isn't any better for a multi hit ws than a single hit. It is just alot more noticable when you do and don't. It still averages out in the end. And stacking crit has decreasing gains. Also higher pdifs devalue it too. So when you argue the whole capped pdif or close to capped as a reason not to use some str/att peice remember it also devalued your crit rate too

You have good points there! I think, what it comes down to as for what body to take: it's just really optional, situational.
None of them will be ridiculous nor will one be amazingly awesome in all situations.
Generally, you can go with whatever you have access to and what you like or have to use even. Taking x-hit builds, need of acc/att etc.

Thanks for shedding some light on that, I had my curiosity piqued when people were just saying 'zmail destroys af body' in some other threads.

Or needed for x-hit. :x

EDIT: I wouldn't judge ppl for that doing so anyway, it's the same like using ethereal instead of a different att earring or bushi instead of something else, only for a very small increase in dmg. I think it's okay to just use what you already have instead of getting ever single item that gives you 1-2 more stats.. It won't make do 20k more dmg. >_>
