Personally this will become the new best EVA piece thf can wear.

5 agi = 2.5 eva

10+2.5=12.5

SH+1 and Antares are 12 eva both.

So, we all know what stat I'll be choosing.


Not sure if I want 10acc .. or try something new with 5% fastcast and use this body for ichi castings, forsaking haste recast but speeding up ichi castings, and potentially ni castings too where I need shadows fast as opposed to back sooner.

Translation of the notes from BG;

* Only One out of the 3 equip can be obtained at a time.

* If a chosen equipment is thrown away, it is possible to get another one under certain condition, and this, several times.

* As for all classical FFXI extension, only one registered code of "Crystalline Prophecy" is needed for one Playonline account.

Go with Accuracy +10 and Dual Wield as a TP piece.

I'm going with Accuracy +10 and Dual Wield as a TP piece.

Fixed this for you, I hope you're not telling me what to do with the piece lol.

I'm personally not into DW+, but that's because there are times when I might not be subbing Nin and thus that would go to waste. Add in the fact that DW+ doesn't really boost TP gain, but rather DPS, and it's not that great imo. I'd prolly go with the +DA, +Crit or even the good old fashioned +10 att to give my Thf a Hauby.

You're correct about not always being /nin but you're dead fucking wrong about delay not affecting TP gain.

Not telling you to, just a reasonable suggestion. The game doesn't keep track of fractional points of evasion, so unless your AGI in your current evasion build is odd, you won't get any increase at all.

[ziero01]

Just more proof that I suck at math >_>

[Auraeon]

I think the dual wield reduction is a no-brainer.

I'd have trouble deciding between the accuracy or the crit rate though. Not sure which would benefit SATA Evisceration more combined with the STR+5 DEX+5 AGI+5 base stats.

I'd be happy to see anything conclusive on this. Until then I'll take as much EVA and AGI as I can get. It's not like I lose EVA on this either way.

Prove it, because that sounds like the biggest pile of crap I've ever heard. I guess the same is true of your accuracy and attack right?

[Thecharger]

so this has the potential to be the best RNG TP body in the game?

This is the THF forums.

RNG forums are that way.

FYI for anyone interested.

If you are using Rajas/Skadi's Chausses/Brutal for 5.0 tp/hit using Blau/SK, adding an additional 3% dual wield reduction does not seem to lower that 5.0 tp/hit. Based on the math from the wiki, and using Suppa base.

[Ture]

would 2% DA not be overshadowed by something more substantial for thf like 10 acc or 10 atk? our 10% native TA would give a slightly diminishing return of the DA. I know as thf/nin even being elvaan with 5/5 str merits and decent gear my native low attk rating does limit me on hard mobs.

[Ivaan]

My thf is approaching 75 fast and i was wonder that if i should stick to augment attack + 10 and acc +10 b/c i cant fully merit dagger (my main is drk with 8/8 scythe and gs) and since i have homam, was just wondering if the +3% to dw is worth it.

[Boostuning]

Isnt this almost worth a Skadi?


Skadi is DEX8 AGI8 CHR8 Acc10 Att5

Thats Mean a total of 16 Stat modifier + 5 attack



Now lets say you get the new body :

STR5 DEX5 AGI5

only 5 in modiffier...

but now add Acc+10 and Attack+10 stats

Wouldnt 5 Modiffier and +12 Attack compete well with Skadi?

[Ture]

um....... NO

[nefarious.lover]

Compared to the price of Skadi and difficulty to obtain V.s. using with non DE WS like Evisceration ...

um......... YES


No, it's not a Skadi.

Gain
5str
7.5 atk


Lose
3dex
3agi
(and while only doing TA or SA only one hurts you at a time but STR helps you all the time as does attack)
4acc


At any given moment between teh two you are +5 str and +7.5 attack and at a loss of either 3 dex and 4acc or 3agi and 4acc.

Bigger differences are seen when you use dancing edge, or use SATA>>DE.


But for the price? (Free)

I wouldn't be so dismissively sarcastic about a legitimate though.


Edit: 4 acc loss not 1.5
