toying with it recently... seems like a nice addition to a solo. jin still trumphs in dmg.

kamu.jpg


first two were sneak attacked

second two were zerk/warcry stacking str

last 2 were zerk/warcry stacking atk


with a brd and food, they can probably break 1k double attacked no problem. jin could break 1500~ under the same circumstances


edit: these were mobs in the past

i havent had the chance to play with it as much since i got it, but its neat you can make Light with it.

the animation is definitely pretty sweet!

and taken from BG:
(NIN) "Blade: Kamu" -
1 Hit, 1.0 fTP, STR_50% & INT_50%. Lower Acc last 60sec@100TP/90s@200/120s@300
 
RK, have you tried stacking str/int gear? cause i have like +5 int on my regular ws gear lol. Used it a bit on bloodtear and i wasnt too impressed, i was also subbing /whm. I guess osode might have a use lol.

Is osode worth losing all the attack and accuracy of haub+1, after all, all the str in the world isn't going to help at all if you can't connect.
 
My assumption, Blaze, is that looking at Roady's numbers says the acc and att of haubergeon would make a more positive impact than Osode. Granted I haven't gotten the weapon or WS yet. I'm basing my assumption off of Roady's numbers.

definitely not sure, it is a 1-hit WS, so im sure you might be able to get away with the -10 acc from hauby. also osode gives yah +10 int that might help out as a secondary modifier. i wish i had a ws gorget to use with this.

I said haub+1, so that's 12 acc and if you take into account the 6 dex that pushes it to 15 acc.

Albeit its a 1 hit ws, so there is a 50/50 chance your going to land it, I just don't are +10 on a secondary enough to make osode more viable than the +12 acc +12 att +6 str +6 dex. Just seem to be giving up too much for such a small gain.
 
i didnt use osode stacking str, it was haub with both.

i'll do real tests today to give some real numbers

My experience with Tachi: Rana is that actually having INT instead of all STR gives a more overall outbput. I noticed this when using Braver's Drinks in Nyzul/Salvage. I almost wonder if there is a cap on how much of either can actually be used. It wouldn't surprise me if this was similar with this. Unfortunately I haven't been about to really test it out yet.

also thanks RK for the numbers. what was your 2nd setup that gave 60 attk but no str?

Nah I meant Tachi: Rana cause no one lets me use my NIN XD so not much testing.
 
I wish the acc down on kamu lasted longer. It's too short to make good use of it for the most part...
