Just get SCH 99,Mykr 99 and perma equip pole grip for EVERYTHING then you beat FFXI
Why wouldn't you use uthur's grip for everything instead? it's got 4STR.
The reason for the pole grip is for double attack when self skill chain to MB kaustra. The reason I do leave it in often is because if I remove it I lose my TP. Losing TP for Myrkr, shatter soul, cataclysm is not something I prefer sometimes. Depending on what I am doing.
My play style served me well. It soloed sobek and many Abby NM's, soloed KC30 HKC 30's and other random NM's. Its not for everyone, +4 str does nothing for shatter soul, but double attack on a 3x ws does. Same for black halo if I light SC MB.
But please keep the thread on topic. LS is for people who want to join and have a peaceful good experience. I realize some people like being drama queens and stuck up. That is your right. But this LS is not for you. So no need to post anything to derail the forum.
