Sortie Release - Info

I upgraded DRK AF body+4 and relic legs+4 for loads more accuracy and still feel like I miss 10% of the time even on limbus trash. They should remove the max accuracy caps entirely really, or it benefits 1 handers too much.

Trying to 4 step RR RR UH UH on WAR on these can get you cursed too though, because first two ws are relatively weak.

So I been doing sortie 8 boss as mnk (multi box) mnk cor brd (aria) war whm geo. So my ls mate told me to switch mnk for Sam "it would be faster" so I took the time to gear sam (near Bis) but I miss so many ws... is it common on sam? Mnk is my favorite job on all ff games...

2h acc cap is 95% and mnk/1h is 99% and usually multi-hit, so yes it is very noticeable.

Sortie basement will probably need a bit more acc in WS set that other content.

You can parse yourself and see your WS acc, if it's lower than 93 or so, add more accuracy.

Switching your favorite job to other, just because it can be slightly faster is a terrible idea. Also it won't be faster. If you get warcry from war and you don't solo SC, then MNK won't be slower.

I don't know why people believe this, but it's just not true, unless we're comparing like a Stage 5 SAM to a non-Prime MNK.

Seeing as how your attack is capped, these fights will be short. You have Warcry from WAR too, so you will have massive TP overflow. SAM benefits less from Warcry due to their TP overflow with Zanshin. With Footwork (you should have it for full fight), you will obliterate any boss, or Howling Fist if you fear making an unfavorable SC. I would be shocked with those buff if you don't hit 3-4 80k+ Tornado/Dragon Kicks/Howling Fist and a strong Raging Fist (if you are cycling to break up wall). MNK would also add Chi Blast which makes bosses less dangerous in that short zerg, and Mantra gives WHM a little more breathing room to keep people alive, especially vs Gartell. Now while SAM has the advantage of Yaegesumi vs Gartell, Gartell can still kill a SAM through his SP2 by countering an attack or landing a buffed up melee attack. MNK's Inner Strength gives you 100% Guard Rate, so Gartell probably can't kill MNK as easily as it can SAM, or maybe not at all with Chakra and the huge HP chunk you get for 30 seconds.

I'm not saying SAM isn't incredibly strong, but the myth that "SAM is faster than MNK" as a blanket statement is just not true.

Fairly confident F can not kill ta dam through yag. My groups main strat was to Zerg till feathers then pop yag and spam mumei till I died. Never once did I take damage with yag up. His AA and counters counted as special attacks.

He can definitely counter but its very rare and only dangerous during wind mode after he's absorbed numerous buffs. (more of a problem on B then F ironically)

F is normally super buffed and he dies before he's too strong. (melee zerg)

You might be correct that his countered attacks are special attacks, in which case I could see yaeg blocking it. I didn't realize you could block or negate countered attacks but this might be a special case specific to how Gartells attacks are considered. First time I'm hearing this

Recently, my PLD got 1 shot by a counter on B with capped MDT (Aegis). ~2800 damage.
