If this is real, this allows 25% haste, with Usukane somen+sune-ate, and allowing Byakko's to be worn.

Example TP with these hands if they are real:

Main: Destroyers
Ammo: Black Tathlum
Head: Usukane somen
Neck: Anct.Torque/Faith Torque
Ear1: Brutal Earring
Ear2: Ethereal/Minuet (songs etc)/Merman's
Body: Usukane Haramaki
Hands: Platinum bangles (Haste+3%, Attack+8, Subtle Blow+1)
Ring1&2: Toreador's ring
Back: Cuchulain's mantle
Waist: Black Belt
Legs: Byakko's Haidate
Feet: Usukane sune-ate



Thoughts? I found this interesting as it would allow byakkos to be worn for more crits to add towards Destroyers crit rate. Could be an alternative to full Usukane for a little bit since using bangles/haidate vs gote/hizayoroi have.. some similar stat outputs.

Gote/Hizayoroi : Acc+10 Attack+10 STR+5 DEX+5 Subtle Blow+5 Evasion+10 Counter+2 Haste+3% (8% Haste If you have the rest of the set)
Bangles/Haidate: Attack+8 DEX+15 Subtle Blow+1 Haste+8%

In my opinion, I would still use Full Usukane, but this looks like an optimal set for say if you're missing that one Usukane piece for the Haste bonus.

Course, this is all assuming you get the Haste+3% Augment on them.

EDIT: Rumored to drop from Eldieme_S ANNM so far.

kinda meh considering all the ways you can get 24-25% haste without them

[_Vivik_]

My Haste Setup for mnk!

W.Turban 5%
Black belt 12%
Byakko's 5%
Fuma's 3%

haste 25%

Just spread acc to the other slots and your good. I have never found a situation were i Usu > Haidate for tp!

Haidate: 5% haste and 7.5acc
Usu: STR +5 DEX +5 Attack +10 Haste +3% (for sam golden, for mnk lack's acc)

[TresDuendes]

might be useful for low eva shit to be able to throw on dune boots, but good luck getting this augment

[pathwriter]

You will almost certainly have an easier time getting full Usukane than waiting on this item to finally drop.

Bolded, Full Usukane = Hizayoroi > Byakko's.

Still curious where these bangles come from. The haste setup for mnk has a lot less accuracy than a build of usu somen/sune-ate + bangles would be. :/ Having a 7% Better hit rate than what you posted as your Haste setup seems more productive (Usu somen+sune-ate).

As for getting Usukane easier... I'm like 0/60+ on those damn legs. xD

I'll assume you haven't tried the augment system yet.

I'll assume you haven't tried the augment system yet.

Forager mantle's and multiple rings have been drying my pocket sadly. But if this is from ANNM, sure it'll take awhile, and possibly compete with the 5 other people who are with you, but there are still rewards to be taken while trying to get it.

oh Cypri, i can assure you those legs exist. The point is, i spammed arra for 2 year nonstop, i paused 2 month on summer, fuckin tired of it, then i came back 1st sept BAM! Yet another weird theory - if piece don't want to drop - stop going. Then randomly enter when Arra is not aware of you!

[Ripebear]

Keep in mind you need 26% haste through gear to actually have 25% haste

Course, but the same thing could be said for Full Usukane + BB.

Mainly why I said it, but then again it's never gona be worth it to give up 7 acc for 1% haste on MNK, like with Usukane sune-ate > Fume sune-ate, so it was a pretty useless statement

[Deemos]

Although, in salvage i rock 29% haste on MNK!

29% haste is over the cap that's a waste

Cool people go over the cap, consequences or no. (?)

[Cream Soda]

No consequences except uselessness. Can easily replace it w/ something more beneficial

[Cyprias]

At that point depending on the floor of Salvage I'd use Rajas/Ulth or Toreador's/Ulth. Sure blitz ring(basically this is what Imperial ring comes down to in this case) has it's uses, but I wouldn't warrant that in MNK's case. I'd stick with Rajas or Toreador's. Or... Mars's/Divisor

[Yhelothur]

I wish I had Divisor... Mars' is out of reach, but shit... I'd even use Imperial in certain situations.
