I have been thinking about my tp gear for sam since the introduction of the new 95 cap and i was wondering what you all thought of this



It would hit haste cap and finish my 5-hit build since (i THINK) it gives ~20.5tp/hit and my ws gear will be 18tp. the match checks out okay, but i was wondering if this would be pretty solid before i made any big gestures towards using it. thanks much!

Something can still be said for 6hitting/capped haste/zanshin for certain situations as well.

Edit: I'm assuming your moonshade is regain since it's in your tp set, with Masa that's a big hit to your wsdmg. Also, you're losing out on Zanshin bonus from AF3+2 domaruuuu in that set which is a big negative. I really wanted to get rid of the ugly thing too but meh. Can't yet.

i have a question probably should start my own thread for it but as long as we're on the topic of 6 hit builds any one know the exact delay of a 437 coupled with a sword strap? was thinking of the following for a 6-hit:

assuming i end up ditching the idea of the sword strap i left ring 2 blank for suggestions (atm considering demonry or tyrants) since this build doesn't need any more STP (save for over tp for more dammage maybe?)

also Rearden: you had me confused for a bit your set allows for 5hit with aftermath right?

Why assume you end up ditching Sword Strap? Its still your best option.

+2body, Zelus, Bullwhip, dusk+1 (if ace STP- is hurting your 5hit, didn't check)
I don't know why you would want to melee in ace's mail.

so sword strap is EXACTLY 3%? cause alot of stuff thats % isnt exact (x/256 x/1024 ect.) hence why im asking thanks for answering nothing though. ill test it out myself and post what i think is the right delay later.

also assuming it is an exact 3% delay SHOULD be 424 ive done the math on it before, i was asking if any one knew for fact what the delay was. expected TP gain of 10.8 base 15.1 with trait + merit stp.

If you're wanting to 5-hit for whatever reason, don't use Ace's Mufflers. Use Dusk +1 instead.

Should only build around Ace's mail if accuracy is an issue. Use a Af3+2 body build if its not.

Hence why I used the word build, presumming that people who actually read that would know that theres gear pieces to be swapped around.

Its actually 17acc 7skill vs 32acc 38att

The only issue that was brought up was the -subtle blow.

because clearly if you are TPing in ace's mail you need to stack up Ohat and Life belt too.

I was wondering the same at first, but I think he's counting the accuracy from other gear slots you free up by having 4 haste on the body.

I think I just finish mentioning that you dont just swap 1 piece around, if you guys are just swapping bodies around and not taking advantage of ace's 4% haste when you're doing so, you need to evaluate why you are not doing so...

Anyhow, Aces mail allows us use af3+2head and feet and still maintain an adequate haste value, when you add that up you see the amount of att/fstr/acc you get from those 3. This setup was generally in response to a 5hit vs 6hit allowing more availability in stats from the later.

To answer my own question base TP gain with sword strap + 437 delay weapon is indeed 10.8 however 421-425 delay will show a 10.8 yield

accuracy isnt particularly an issue. and personally, i dont like the zelus, dusk, bullwhip setup. just a preference. if yoou knew me, you'd understand :x

edit: also, as i've said in the past. i dont have a particularly large budget (working on it).

Accuracy can definitely be an issue depending on what you're fighting. Some -DT gear for an oshit macro would be a lot more beneficial than deliberately gimping your TP gear by not using Bullwhip. Dusk has been mentioned previously (Ace's, but forces 6-hit) but honestly given that nothing is kited now it's not really an issue.

I'm too lazy to macro out of -movement or into -DT gear
That's all I'm seeing.
