I spent 6 hours at Kumhau Wildskeeper Reive the other night (ugh he sucks when colonization rate is low), hoping for some good drops. I got a pair of the Quiahuiz leggings. I already had the Kaabnax trousers which I like a lot on thief and monk. I have had yet to do skirmish, which is why I don't have any otronif or iutli gear. Until I get to that, can anyone tell me which pair of pants is better for different situations, they seem kinda neck and neck. Thx.

Only use Quiahuiz for Mercy until reforged+1 anyway if no mercy theres not much reason to carry them. I dont carry them personally only Kaabnax atm on THF as I only have ilvl Twash no Mandau yet.

Quiahuiz has 1 less haste than Kaabnax, but boasts 15 more attack and 23 less evasion. It also has no direct accuracy added, and slightly less AGI. The differences are probably nothing to lose sleep over, but in terms of sheer usefulness, Kaab is probably better for builds where the extra haste is needed to free up other slots (perhaps in waist/hands). Its also clearly the better choice for stacking evasion.

If you are just looking to increase your attack, though, Qlegs win in that scenario. But R15 Manibozho legs outperform Qlegs.

Quiahuiz get better the more DA gear you have, as well as when you're subbing WAR or low on attack. Regardless, I show very few situations where Quia are out parsed by anything other than Pillager's Legs +1

Someone know how much this increase double attack damage?
I was doing old nyzul as cor, so i decide to offhand joyeusse (because normal dmg dont really matter, as ws can almost kill anything, so joyeusse for tp gain) does this legs stack with joyeusse multihits?

I should probably put this in the monk section but would the Qlegs be better for monk than kabnaax? Esp if subbing war. Idk I look to those who know more than me :)

Manibozho brais, path A, would probably be the answer you're looking for, but I'm just a "part-time" MNK. I haven't crunched the numbers myself.

Depends on your haste and whether you gain benefit from accuracy.

If - you have to swap from Windbuffet Belt to Twilight in order to maintain haste - then Kabnaax
Elseif - you need accuracy - then Kabnaax
Else - Quiahuiz

^ I've been looking at spellcast all day. So sue me :P

Disclaimer - Otronif and Manibozho are better
