Congrats Duddits. If you need help learning harder spells I can help you out.

Radiant Breath has become the latest thorn in my side to learn, 3+ hours spent in Rivierne Site B, capped blu skill merits, no spell yet.

"oh yeah spent about 8 hours there...and it's a worthless spell still cool as hell to cast though!" Wow, I learned that one on the first mob soloed in Ranguemont Pass. Sounds like SE gives you at least one bastard spell to learn for each blue mage.

As mentioned before, you are having a string of bad luck. The hardest spell for me to learn all the way to 75 was cocoon. I spent 5-6 hours trying to learn that one for some reason and was ready to quit blu then and there. I still have 10 spells left to learn, but overall it hasn't been too...

Bringing Lumberjack to the Batallia Downs Jeuno zone. Hilarity ensues Bringing the West Ronfaure Sandy Rank NM to the Sandy zone. Hilarity ensues

Yeah I should rephrase that. Many of the new players have no idea what a renkei chart is, although the older players seem to be rusty with timing weapon skills and magic bursts for places where skillchain + magic burst is still applicable. Regarding SC in parties and merits, its not hard to...

Well it does seem broken since most have seem to have lost the concept of skillchain + magic burst, and I'm assuming you are viewing this as "oh another ws to spam in a merit party faster". Hell I would sacrifice a weapon skill in that time frame just to have this ability, to be a more frequent...

That was my first response regarding DRK's when they got TP-Drain, but after having another skillchain partner more often, i greatly appreciate it as a sam. This ability most likely will be 10-15 min timer. If so, its not a big deal. So you get 1 extra WS in a 10-15 min period. So say a sam...

Nothing, since my Oink drive has "disappeared".

You are using a chivalrous chain for weapon skill! You are using a chivalrous chain for weapon skill! You are using a chivalrous chain for weapon skill! You are using a chivalrous chain for weapon skill! You are using a chivalrous chain for weapon skill! Penetrate your skull. This is why your...

Thanks for the clean retest. You are correct, only if you have Hachiman Sune-Ate +1, or Usukane Sune-Ate, end build, that you do not need any Hachiman for WS. "Therefore, hachiman body = crap, get a Hauby." If you need accuracy boost for your WS, by all means, use a Hauby. Pre update I...

Thanks for the DEX info soujiro. I have been looking around but could not find a good guide/tests regarding DEX and crits. Having 65 base, +5 rajas, +5 thunder, +15 byakkos someday = 90 DEX so the thunder ring may not be worthwhile. If so, I'll go with the TaU 4 acc 4 attk one when missions...

I do not melee in Myochin Kote +1, I use to use it for WS only on /war, /nin prior to update. It is an option now if you have nothing better, I personally woudn't use it to build TP. 89% accuracy at mamool camp is good but not at the 95% cap(although the 89% accuracy is convoluted by initial...

The only time I use hachiman kotes full time is to obtain a 6 hit build using a michibishia (420 delay) which requires +22 Store TP in gear/food. Did some preliminary testing in dynamis with michibishia, claymore strap, 6 hit build eating carbonara, and was pretty surprized by the results...

So basically for GAINING TP (Including Weapon Skill hit) your options for the final +5 store TP are... Chiv Chain + Myochin Haidate +1 Hachiman Sun-Ate (or HQ) Usukane Sun-Ate Hachiman Kote (or HQ) Arrabiato Usukane haramaki would work full time too, and pile haste if you desire in hands...

By the way you did not gain 25 TP return on your last swing. You fell short, you do know it takes a ton of Store TP to raise your TP by 1% correct? Well usually without the +21 Store TP you are stuck at 99% after the 6th hit, so even if the mob gave you 1%, you fail. Do the test with /nin...

Think before you speak. There is this thing called critical hits, dex helps boost the percentage. You are trying to say snipers > thunder ring for TP now? Are you one of those idiots who wear your ws gear to build TP and eat sushi ?

Finally a SAM who understands you need +21 Store TP as a magic number for 6/100 to end the discussion. I was getting ready to pull out the calculation and number crunch as my screenshot and proof. Regarding the prior attack comparison gimp gear statement as its not hard to figure out that its...

TP gain based on mobs damaging you does not count towards a 6 hit build lol.

To the OP, sorry for the derailment, bottom line, Hachiman gear is situational, and needed to satisfy a 6 hit build for melee and WS strikes with Store TP merits, unless you have usukane. I will use Hachiman body piece for WS until Osode comes along. Not mentioned, some Hachiman pieces are...
