Bushido - The Way Of The Samurai (A Guide) V. 2.0

Funny thing is I can actually view them on mobile, but at home on my PC, imgur has been down for a few days so I just get an error every time I try to load it.

Hoxne on SAM is more for spamming Hybrid WSs. The DA boost them a ton. It also takes your zanhasso rate to 0. For normal 4/5/6 steps I would drop the Hoxne in favor of Zanhasso.

Look into the Swordfaet-something +1 belt. More store tp.

Drop the ampula, stack storetp. Sam doesn't need ampula.

My math might be completely wrong here but shouldnt 100% DA proc beat a Zanhasso build? even when trying to do 4/5/6 step?


I do know Hoxne doesnt benefit SAM as much as other jobs and some might not like the gil toss of the ammo but If one wanted to use it anyway wouldnt it be an overall boost? Tried to follow some of the chatter in the thread and saw it might be close to a 9% overall boost?
Not really trying to argue against anymore, more so I did just blow 3.5m gali this morning any now somewhat commited to making Hoxne work... Unless it is just absolute trash(which dont think it is?)

I do appreciate the input of others.

I am still hoping for an answer to if the squishier gear is used much at all now?

DT/Meva needs are personal and content dependent. I rock this set 99.9% of the time without any issues. My first swap is AF+4 hands, my second swap is Relic+4 feet.

You can use Hoxne on E for Shoha funsies too.

Tend to make TP sets like: Fodder(-20~25 DT), Hybrid(-50% DT), then sets like for V25, Subtle Blow, etc. My logic might be off with wanting Fodder/Hybrid like that. I use the Sim tool a lot now to try and get base type sets and then customize some from there. I know DEF/MEVA matter a lot and just cause you are DT capped doesnt mean same as it did long ago.

Try it and judge for yourself.

As for lower-dt gear - I personally never use any armor other than Odyssey, empy +3, af/relic +4 or limbus. Everything else is trash and inventory-minus.

Accessories are adjustable depending on preferences. With some augments I'd standardise on empy +3 and Limbus armor for both near max DT and near bis dps.

Af/relic+4 may not have dt but they do have better than good def, mdb, meva and hp.

Speaking of Limbus gear, is the set worth using at R0 at all? Sim tool suggests not. I have been sleeping hard on all the gear outside of earring/ring. Again I do thank you for the help and hope I didnt come off poorly at all.

At R0 the limbus gear is mostly a hybrid/defensive upgrade over non-empy+3. DPS wise af/relic+4 is going to beat it.

IMO the full set is not a worthwhile upgrade for Sam specifically given how much storetp and other useful stats the empy+3 armor has.

You also need to take into account how long it would take to max out the entire limbus set. If you're spending 6 months to a year to cap one piece, and it gives you maybe 1% more dps than, say, empy+3 body, is that a worthwhile upgrade?
