Yeah but... no DT. Problem with FFXI is you are either fighting trash you can glass cannon but your damage doesn't matter whether you do 34k ws or 35k ws, or ridiculous content you need to be defensive for.
There is no middle ground. Top floor sortie bosses = trash, basement=need DT, omen bosses = trash, floor 1-2 ody=trash, floor3/4 need DT, etc.

Wish it was 500. The Wakido feet+4 have 120 meva now and +5 zanshin and +2 Hasso haste. With the Wakido hands having +71 meva now, and SAM's extremity MEVA gear not being all that hot except its empy+3, putting these on with Empy+3 legs boosts Hasso up to +19% JA haste.
Means 79% delay reduction with just Haste 2. Thoughts? Rarely useful.
Typically emp legs and AF hands are all you need to cover your ja haste, feet can be used if youre like lacking a march or something. Otherwise hard to give up ryuo boots
AF hands are another option if you're missing magic haste.
AF hands are a better TP piece than relic feet, even if you ignore the hasso.

Means 79% delay reduction with just Haste 2. Thoughts? It's 74%, I think. Regardless, Sim has it (AF+4 Boots) slightly better than Ryuo in a low haste (30% magic) situation. They are also more accuracy and better defensively than Tatena. Anyone using +4 relic body yet? Do you die often lol?

Nice been thinking about doing A hands myself. Feet are a tougher call. Ryou feet are exceptional and Emp feet aren’t always best.
I was really hoping for more from Artifact +4. Wait does Hasso+ gear stack now.. I thought it didn't
It always did i thought.
Did back in 2022 according to bippin https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/50068/does-hasso-gear-stack-now/#3651928
[+]
Yeah, there are a lot of faster tp feet out there then the +4 relic. I use them for the def on higher tier bosses as I always end up tanking in tp spam situations. I usually just full time the +4 feet as im not trying impress anyone on parcer.
[+]
Speaking of Artifact+4, where do the Legs stand in our hierarchy of WS choices now that they've been bumped to 12% Wsdmg?
Nyame25+ will still win from what I'm seeing but as it stands are they our second best? Cause Nyame 25+ is out of my reach right now but Artifact+4 is just a small gil sink, so I'm thinking of upgrading that for now. Cerberus.Shadowmeld said: » Wait does Hasso+ gear stack now..

Dildonunchucks said: » Ryuo Sune-Ate +1 are exceptional poop compared to Nyame Sollerets > A Cope so hard Think it's 2015 How do you like the path A boots? I have been considering flipping both hands and feet to A. Currently use mpaca for those slots, *** ryuo. Compared to mpaca boots what do you think the biggest benefit of nyame A is? Ryou feet are still BiS for 99.9% of content.
Doing something cool like path A and then disregarding an item you’ll use a vast majority of the time minimizes you.
[+]
Really worth the hit to hybrids, one of sams biggest strengths, for a slightly better defensive tp option?
I think people can choose whichever gear they want.
But yeah Ryou are hard to take off. If you need another pair of boots then af+4 are probably it for low haste, low acc or if you need more meva. SAM already tps in 45% pdt not like you need the DT from nyame. Sam is like the only dps I have with three accuracy swaps because I want to avoid removing ryou lol.
[+]
Look, you can wear whatever escha augmented gear you feel like, that stuff is not getting in my wardrobes.
But it's a x% increase on hasso extra swings yeah nothing - I won't wear it. The reasoning is simple - the extra dps does nothing in the content I am interested in while the higher defensive stats do. |
