Does anyone know if the Enhances Formless Strikes augment actually boosts the damage of melee hits? I got the augment this morning hoping to see an increase in damage when fighting Volatile Matamata but my dmg values seemed to be the same as they were before I had the augment. I do recall Sawtelle doing some testing to on this a while back but I couldn't find it.
Enhances Formless Strikes by allowing another 2% melee damage to be converted per merit level (62% to 90%) and increases duration by 6 seconds per merit level.

51 melee hits w/o weapon, wearing af2+2a on 5/5FS activation but not on hit
normal: 75/112
crit: 128/147
47 melee hits w/o weapon, wearing af2+2a on 5/5FS activation and hit
normal: 76/114
crit: 134/145
It actually looks to me like there isn't a damage bonus on af2+2 body, worn on hits or not.
I was getting numbers different than those I thought I should get from math so I gave up given at the time I wouldn't have been able to math if I had a significant result. Way too busy catching up w/ sch stuff atm to go back out and do more stuff with it.
I found what I was looking for here. Seems Formless Strikes augment is just duration. Fought the matamata a few times with body on just to be sure myself.
For delve NM, we wanna go mnk for obvious reason now, is there anything better than that gear set wich is basically just stuff I had tossed around in mog house(or very easy to get) ?
Keep in mind I never played mnk before so I'm asking if I missed some gear with better stat without losing accuracy.

I heard that with proper augments Manibozho legs win over Tantra +2.
But if you exchange Manibozho legs with Usu+1 and Usu+1 feet with Manibozho, you get the same augments and furthermore exchange the following stats:

Could lose 5-10acc but not more, as this is the "sweet spot" for the way we buff at the moment.
You need manibozho body to cap accuracy on the boss probably and you will still be far from cap anyway just like the gimps DD you use on the boss from what I read. For preboss, which is what I'm experimented with, your set is not really good since usually either rcb+2 madrigals or sushi + 2 madrigal is capping, so you should use usukane head +1.
For many NMs you can stick to meat food but I recommend using sushi since the other DD by definition suck and you'll be tanking them so you should use -dt gear (scorp/raptor/peiste for instance suck especially). Personally I'm using twilight torque / defending ring / dark ring / black belt / mollusca mantle.

We're not gonna use mnk on boss for now.
And yeah about usu head gonna make that swap thx.
Our buff/debuff allow us to cap attack on pretty much anything(but boss), would carbonara be the best food in that case, or it there a new dd food better than it ?
At this point, is there any reason to farm any of the af3+2?
I cant even kill t4 or t5 NMs but hold on let me talk about things i don't know.
pretty accurate.
Inbefore you go pld to delve and think you are tough ***. I've 6 manned all KI mnk,mnk,thf or mnk, brd, whmx2 just fine with rank 15 on all relevant pieces. Only reason pld is still required for boss is that those attempting it are still far from r15 on all their delve equip or weapon. Once this is done I dont see how how a job that caps acc and 2600 hp would not do the job.
