From the looks of it and some basic calculations...going to be trying the crit hit only on WS (with N.gear this is much more easily obtainable). I'll try to get something parsed in the next couple of weeks with ws damage normal set (higher STR, moderate DEX) vs. Crit WS Set (High DEX, moderate...

Yea, I did quite a bit of Steel Cyclone testing a long time ago to try to see if crit hits effected it...and they didn't there which is why I would have been surprised to see the similar weaponskills GK offers be able to Crit.

Glad to help. The choice on the others goes with your other equipment...if you're defensive heavy, I'd continue with defense. If you're evasion heavy, I'd continue with more EVA. Little pieces here and there with minimal upgrades on equipment usually show little to no increase, however when...

Looks like you're soloing / duoing at the moment if you're looking for VIT / Eva...if partying:

Which of SAM's ws's are critable without SA? Just a curiosity question more than anything else, didn't realize they were able to crit being mostly one-hit/two-hit.

Without an aegis, you do need quite a bit of substantial gear though. Without the physical dmg down gear, the set wouldn't work. If I went out there wearing Ass. BP (Close to Koenig without the VIT+), Koenig Helm, Hands, Legs, AF+1 Feet...how much damage would I be taking? While you're right...

Physical damage % down is a lot different than a pure def+ vit+ build. Fygla doesn't have an Aegis, but he does have a d.ring + Hauteclaire.

It's up to you. A defensive holding set really only works if you're going all out vit or def to pass caps, as in everything else. HNM's it never works because of their boosted attack. Defense is only really helpful when loaded on against EM or lower, and even then a haste set would well...

Next time you campaign, wear a head piece. Write down the amounts of the hits. Grab another mob, don't wear a head piece. Write down the amounts of the hits. It's a very small sample size, but you'll even see there that the dmg reduction done by a negligible amount of defense in one slot...

Or it could be Einherjaresque and also drop other things. Not saying it does, but it could.

Yea...planning on trying that ;)

Normal TP Setup: Hanger / Ridill Fire Bomblet Turban Fort. Torque Suppa / Brutal Ebody Dusk Gloves Sniper's +1 / Rajas Cerb Mantle (someday +1) Swift Belt Byakko's Aurum Sabatons WS Changes: Hecatomb Cap Hecatomb Mittens Warwolf Belt Ares' Flanchard I changed out more for STR+, but found more...

Thanks Are...I still think the Kote with DEX+10 acc+5 might be a viable piece...although they're not guaranteed to be mine it all depends if one other person wants them. As far as merits go that are applicable: 8 Sword (8GA 4A) 4zerk/4agg/2DA 5 STR 4 Crit (obviously) I was 5 zerk / 5 agg for...

I actually considered this...lol

Thanks...and yea I'm realizing the Elvaan part is making it rough to hit.
