Asuran Fists and Sea Gorgets

[Knightblade]

So, I've been wondering lately. I got Flame Gorget since it helps with both Asuran Fists AND Tachi: Kasha. But from what I've seen so far on merit mobs, a few sea mobs, and statues at Ullikummi, Chivalrous Chain seems to be doing more then Flame Gorget. (on AF, not kasha)

Now, I've been looking around in Blue gatr forums but can't seem to find any proven topics and which is better to use. Anyone know if gorgets help acc/dmg on All hits, or just one? Or does anyone know which is better, Chivalrous Chain, or Flame Gorget, for AF.

Thanks in Advanced. 8)

To my understanding gorgets only raise the FTP of the first hit of a given weapon skill by 0.1 and some accuracy (though it seems to have decreasing amount of accuracy with more hits, leading me to believe accuracy is only on first hit). This means that the more hits a weapon skill has the less help a gorget will do. Seeing that Asuran fists is a weapon skill with many hits I would assume that you would see pretty high gain from a PCC (or Chiv. chain), but I have not tested this weapon skill personally.

I have been playing around a little with Breeze Gorget vs. Hope Torque for my NIN on Blade: Jin for the past couple months and have seen roughly the same numbers on damage (slight advantage to the Torque at the moment actually, but barely worth mentioning). Just considering the weaponskill and the amount of hits I would think that Asuran fists would gain more out of the accuracy and STR over the FTP on the first hit. However, I cannot say this with absolute certainty. Any MNK's tried these two options?

I've heard from alot that it only raises the FTP of just one hit by 0.1, but I've also heard others say it helps ALL. Assuming it helps just one, which I'm more likely to believe since it hasn't been helping as much as me using Chiv Chain, then gorgets in fact do suck for AF. If this is the case, I still have it for Tachi: Kasha.

I can tell you now it doesn't raise all FTP by .1, just the first one or two, or it'd be a noticable increase.

I still haven't figured out if it helps asuran accuracy, I really can't get a concrete test of that (Not good enough to solo some high-level THF types so I actually stand a chance of missing, party environment fucks any attempt to keep out other variables), though from what I've noticed, there really isn't any difference.

That .1 PDF will beat out the damage increase you get from 3 STR, usually. Gogo STR 10%.
