Haven't seen this brought up anywhere, but it seems an interesting way to obtain a 5 hit build on /SAM or 6 hit on /WAR while keeping yourself alive.
Thoughts? Opinions? Facts? Please post.
I'm trying to unsuck my RNG but I'm going to need to start getting a lot of shit that wasn't very popular 3 years ago.

It could be a toss up between that and the Mirke Wardecors, depending on the augment you choose. Talking about STR+5 AGI+5 with either ranged acc or attack +10, snapshot +5% (which I would probably opt for) and the store TP+4/Subtle blow +4 vs. CUH with sTP+6 and -8 enmity, which would be nice for survival and slightly better than Mirke for a 5-hit, but I dunno.. If you've already used the ACP body for something else, I know you have PLD, and nuevo is sweet for tanking with the right augments, maybe use CUH as a 5-hit piece then. If not I'd probably stick with mirke unless you really need that extra sTP +2.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you kind of defeat the purpose of an x-hit build if you don't also weaponskill in it? Which means you'll be sacrificing 10 str and 10 agi on ws to have a 5hit build.

you know of a way to swap osode on at some point during your weapon skill so that you get both the store tp from harness and the 10 str 10 agi from osode? that's a neat trick...

You can overshoot STP in your TP build so that you don't need to use as much STP in your WS build. This thread explains it nicely.

For example:

O-bow+DSB needs STP+32 for 5-hit build. However, if I equip STP+34 (/SAM, Rajas, Enkidu pants, Mekki Shakki, Rose Strap) for TP, then I only need STP+24 for WS.

i see, that makes sense. but it has little to do with macros x.x

Just to cover all the bases:

GMB has 52 less delay than holy/DS bolts, and returns 14.8 TP instead of 15.2. With the STP+34 setup I mentioned above, you would need STP+28 for GMB WS in order to maintain your 5-hit build. In practice, since you can't switch staff/grip, it means that you can use whatever pants you want for WS (as opposed to a DSB WS, where you can use whatever pants or rings you want).
