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

Also, it was brought to my attention that it does. Forgot to change the formulae in the ratio/cap max/high cap %/avg crit cells to reference the total PDL listed in the Gear tab. That's what I miss when editing at 2 A.M..

You can only SIM so much.

What are the ideal augments for the Valorous Mitts?

WSD STR ATT/ACC

Spreadsheet isn't a simulation to begin with. A simulation could perform any scenario you would encounter in game, not that it would be practical to do so.

Some thoughts and experiences with nyame gear (currently level 10 on each).

Nyame path B really pushes hybrid weapon skills to a new level.

I've played with tachi: jimpu spam a fair bit before but nyame makes it so much more consistent and probably much less reliant on massive buffs (macc,mab,att,acc,multi attack) than before.

99k jinpu's weren't special for years but now 99k tachi: goten, tachi: koki and tachi: kagero are quite easy to achieve as well now on apex mobs at least with a idris geo supporting. That was with Doji. I haven't dusted off my Koga yet.

Having the light element line coverend with hybrid weapon skills is quite nice. Also you can chain them like silly for example:

Tachi: Koki > Tachi: Kagero > Tachi: Jinpu > Tachi: Koki > Tachi: Goten > Tachi: Kagero > Tachi: Jinpu and so on...

Let's have 2 sams on the wave 3 boss and let the cors take care of the adds ;)

5/5 nyame also adds 28% skillchain bonus which let's us achieve easely the 50% skillchain bonus cap (3% from the back and 16% from traits, 6 from gifts). No more need for allies roll!

If you got some interesting experiences or ideas please share^^

:P

Is the TP Bonus issue on Mpaca head fixed? Thanks.

Yes

Thanks.

I'm aware of how stupid this question is, but does anyone have a savage blade set for SAM?

I may be wrong on this, but I'm almost certain a Savage set would just use your Fudo set.

Does R20 nyame feet/hands beat ryuo tekko+1/valorous greaves for Impulse Drive? critrate/critdmg and wsd+critdmg seems hard to beat.

nyame hands win, but valorous boots win @1k (mpaca+moonshade) nyame sollerets jump ahead somewhere between 1k-1.5k (but they're very close for all points)

(for my near bis set and raid buffs at least)

Can Sam even get Savage Blade?
And what sword would you use? Tanmogayi +1 Raetic Blade +1 ?

Naegling obviously.

probably one of those two or hepatizon, since we can't use naegling.

shields are kind of a toss since we can only use a couple unity ones, i think.

I'm not aware that SAM can gain access to Savage Blade, and they're not listed on Kaja/Naegling.

Am I missing something here?

If sam can't use Naegling, then they can't use Savage Blade. It's restricted to jobs that can use separa of trials (run, pld, blu, rdm, war, cor, drk) or jobs that can use naegling.

Oh duh. I only looked at sword skill. Thanks for fixing my stupid.

Does SAM get a native ws that acts like savage blade? I’m wondering if there is a sam WS I can spam on glazemane that doesn’t chain with my other chars that will be spamming savage blade.

Shoha won't SC with Savagle blade or it self (Don't use Doji)

Perfect, thanks

Anyone have any recommendations for gear for a fresh ilv SAM?

old BG community guide has some starter sets I guess. It's outdated but may help give you an idea

Is there any conceivable reason why I would be getting Wakido +3 legs simming way below Hiza +2 on those spreadsheets posted above for Fudo? Heck even like Ken +1 are above Wakido +3 for some reason for me.

Shouldn't for total damage, but there could be an explanation for if it's just higher in the WS damage. Check your x-hit. If the STP loss from switching out Wakido+3 is causing you to end up with 995 TP or so, you'll be getting more TP overflow from the additional round, causing stronger average Fudos.

From briefly playing around with it, that is what I'm seeing being reflected on the sheet in that scenario.

I can't reproduce that.

Oh wow that is exactly it, thanks! Never would have thought about that, haha.

Returning back after a two year break and I’m sporting Tsurumaru.

I just need to function now.

What is a good upgrade for Tsurumaru until finished Masa
