ok i looked on forums all i found is 1 person saying askar body sucks. i asked someone on my server they said askar just sucks and not to use it... any suggestions or help from u guys on here???

right now my acc is capped on birds and i can get away tping in bomb core, almah torque, but i use hauberk.

i do have pcc and fire bomblet. so i figure if i tp in those along with askar i should be fine.

Askar does suck, the STR/DEX/Accuracy/Attack isn't worth losing for 2% DA unless you already got capped accuracy, then go right ahead and use it.

You only lose ACC and DEX. You gain 5 attack (over NQ) and 2 DA as well as 5 STP which is only useful in a 6 hit build, which warrior gets from rajas and brutal on /sam with 2/3 on RR or KJ. Need an extra 2 TP? Get hit in the face by a colibri.

Bleh, forgot that thing had Attack. Either way Hauby will be better than Askar for the most part.

Are you sure? capped acc 100% of the time (not just when aggressor is up)?

With normal/good gear (Aurum feet, byakkos, perdu, dusk, swift, rajas, Sniper+1 etc) you will only be around 80-90% (depending on merits) unless you have a relic.

80-90% is a pretty large variance, but it all depends on the mob
if you need acc, absolutely use hauby
if you dont, swap other slots for better stats (haste etc) before this
the only use i've found for askar body on war/dnc is soloing shit that you have a mild chance to evade

Full merits are 14 accuracy, which is a variation of 7% hit rate.

The other 3% can be accounted for by possible variations in gear (sniper +1 vs sniper, Assault vs Hollow earring etc).

G.Colibri aren't hard to cap accuracy on, but they take more than a lot of people think. Most people will 'eyeball' an 80%+ hit rate and consider than 'capped'.

Askar does have a place, and that place is campaign and farming EP to T mobs.

Looked up Almah's torque yesterday and I can't fathom why anyone would TP in it.

Accuracy is capped yo'

He has a super WAR that can reach 410 acc with B.Core, 0 neck acc and god knows what else

(I take it all back if it turns out he has a relic, but even then that neck piece blows).
