Recently dropped the monster belt for my bst... too bad i've already corsette+1 There's a way to use that belt or is just another inventory space+1 ?

Also, there's some new equip useful for bst in last upgrade ?

[fillerbunny9]

so basically, you have a belt useful for both melee and charming, vs Corsette +1 which has the same CHR, but a minor penalty to STR and AGI? I would think that the choice would be pretty clear to get the relic, and sell the Corsette/ use it for level cap. if I had both, I would rather have both if I used Corsette+1 for other jobs, otherwise, I would sell it and get my 30k back.

The point is this, i'm using swift belt for melee, and switching life belt for rampage... don't know if worth the loss of chr or accuracy like this

There is no CHR loss.

I believe the OP may mean this:
If I use Corsette +1 for Charming and Swift/Life belt for DDing, what place does Monster belt have in my gearsets?

My answer would be:
Monster Belt deserves a spot in your inventory as an Enmity down piece that doubles as a charm piece. -3 Enmity is the most I can think of that you can get in a belt slot. If you don't care about Enmity down and assuming you never have an attack round in your Charm gear, then Monster Belt is just inventory-1 if you're required to have Corsette+1 for other jobs anyway. Otherwise, it's a free Corsette +1.

Belt is a status peice, if you want optimal performance, then belt is only for charming - not meleeing as clearly there are better options.

if you have a bard then drop it and stick with your corsette.

You can also macro it in for when you do Primal Rend. If i remember reading Primal Rends modifier(sp?) is CHR.

[Nattack]

its also fully magical, and corsette+1 can be augmented with a +chr/+macc/+matk property

ultimately corsette+1 is the better choice unless you absolutely need the 2 agi you lose for defense/evade perfectionism

[Byrthnoth]

Technicality, I know, but Corsette +1 can't be augmented with more CHR as it's already over the slot max. You can probably get 1 MAcc / MAB on it though.
