curious about the ws dmg +% pieces out there. would it better to use ogier's breeches over lets say, avant(+1) or af3 legs? hachi pants are out of the question right now, no plans on doing and sarameyas anytime soon.
oh and same question for shura(+1) auged with ws dmg + also.
Legs first
In my Fudo set I need the stp from unkai haidate to maintain my 5 hit so would not recommend replacing them unless you dont need the stp for what ever reason.
For shoha stp legs are not needed to WS in so this free's up the choices between hachi/avant+1/ogiers. Avant +1 > hachiryu haidate (2STR vs 9ish att, 2% DA) so better off getting avant cuisses +1 over hachiryu anyway in my opinion.
Never thought much about ogiers vs avant +1, always assumed avant+1 won for shoha but never mathed it out. Someone else maybe able to shine more light on this :3.
Head time
This has been dealt with by taint in many other threads shura head +1 with the right aug's beats Mekira oto+1. This depends on the aug's though, has to have +3% WS damage and STR+ I believe and mekira can still edge it when the att is needed and the right day is aligned.
As I picked up a Mekira oto+1 to avoid the hassle of aug'ing it I'm unsure what augments precisely after 3% WS damage are needed to beat mekira oto+1. (They are pretty damn close anyway so as long as you have one or the other doubt its really an issue)
