He is saying, if your attack is capped, which in many situations it will be on Y/G/K for SAM, it will do nothing which is why the STR will do more.

I know what he is saying. I am asking how often is your attack really capped on nonmerit/exp mobs.

Given the large attack bonus they get, pretty often.

Hades.Exion said: The discussion is more or less on attack yes.
He's stating that 1 STR > 15 attack
Which I think is hilarious
In some cases, that's completely true.
In comparison between Haubergeon +1 and Kirin's Osode, it ALWAYS is better to use Osode for GKT WS, with the exception of Tachi: Kaiten. The only place you can really swap between the two is the backpiece, where if you're not capping pDIF you wear Forager, and if you are, you wear Smilodon +1.
Again, not only do YGK get a huge Accuracy bonus, they get an immense ATT bonus as well. More often than not, you're capped.
End of story.

Go away. If you're not going to take 3 other people's advice, I can get Vegetto in here to shove numbers down your throat till you're blue in the face.
Good night folks, and Merry Christmas to all you SAM's who YGK in Osode!

Domaru has more STR than Hauby+1, so I guess he's thinking you would promote that, or something. It's 4 AM here, so just guessing.

The first two pages are domaru > hauby
And the two other people's advice are a soboro sam and a thief
The only real argument is the osode > hauby argument
Cerb + 1 > smilo +1 shouldn't be an argument.

Well if you dont have an osode, Domaru is actually the next best thing to WS in.
It's only loldomaru because to man sams choose to TP in it, its not a bad piece if you lack osode.

Because 6 STR > 8 STR when attack and acc don't do jack ***for you right?
I don't think mobs in Dynamis, Einherjar, Limbus, Salvage are very high def.

Yes you should actually wear all attack - gear because clearly 12 attack adds ZERO to weaponskills

Man, you really are hopeless.
What part of "Y/G/K gets a huge attack bonus that caps you on most mobs" Do you not *** understand?
Unless you really believe attack has no cap at all.

I don't think mobs in Dynamis, Einherjar, Limbus, Salvage are very high def.
Some of the mobs in those zones are actually higher defense.
But actually, Haubergeon +1 edges out Domaru. Barely. NQ Haub and Domaru are equals. The argument between Smilo and Forager's has been explained, and it's no contest between Haub+1 and Osode. I don't understand why it's so hard for him to understand, but it's likely due to not really understanding the math behind this game.
***'s situational, yo.

I bet he just likes to full time Hauby+1 because he thinks hes a bad *** because he owns one.
Some mobs here and there might have higher def but its no where near 95%, lol.

Your agreeing with me on the domaru and hauby argument... We aren't talking about osode atm
However I don't know how you could possibly say 5 str 10 atk > 8 str
That's just not consistent with your other theories

God, I know. Thanks for the reminder, lol.
Ok so my LS is giving me a hard time on my new sam so I was wondering what I should be wearing for fulltime. Currently I have the ACP body with ACC+10 and Double Attack+2 which seems like a good TP piece for over time damage and they tell me I should wear a Hauby or Hauby +1 for the att and WS with it as well because it's better than my Hachiman Domaru. The second item is my Forager's Mantle and Smilodon +1 which they say I should just throw out and full time Forager's. Now I may not have played SAM for very long but I could at least think for 1 hit weapon skills stacking STR and decent acc is enough for WS gear right? Some expert advice would be great.
