anyone ever used this cape?

eva +1, "store tp" +1, "subtle blow" +1
enhances "zanshin" effect

Is it better then
1str 10 atk?

Can you notice the zanshin effect if you not sam or /sam?

How much tp is 1 subtle blow?

I'm not sure if that's a joke or not...



In actual news, it's between 1-5% Zanshin, which is like 1% accuracy bonus... meaning that Amemet Mantle +1 will outdamage it 100% of the time, and take less work to get. The other stats are so small they're impossible to notice.

thank you for a serious reply.

o wait you don't need to parse to know if something good.

I couldn't help but laugh. Why did you post this thread, then? Bushido Cape is obviously inferior to Amemet Mantle (+1), because Zanshin doesn't do much for overall accuracy, and thus, overall damage, and the other stats on the cape are utterly pointless. Don't need a parser to know that, just a calculator.

because ive never lvled sam (lvl 1) so I have no idea how much zanshin effect reacts. Nor use any subtle blow gear before.

Yes you did.

The concept of Zanshin, it only allows a retry at missed swings, meaning you missed in the first place. Subtle Blow isn't a good stat for any party. And you could've found out all this with a 5-second search on http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/

As a rule, +1 = 1%, there are only a few exceptions.
 
1 Store TP is 0.1% extra tp each hit.
1 Subtle Blow gives the monster you hit 0.1% less tp each time you hit it (I assume).
Eva +1 wont do anything really.
The Zanshin effect wont really help you either.

And if you cant afford an Amemet+1, I would say a NQ amemet is better than the Bushido Cape.

Considering that Zanshin only kicks in if you miss, and that unless you're a retarded player you'd have excellent accuracy; obviously boosting the vast majority of your hits would be better than giving a slight increase in accuracy on something that rarely kicks in as it is. Bushido cape is obviously inferior to amemet in terms of just looking at it, the only way to prove Bushido > Amemet would be to parse them both. By your own logic, you're asking for people to cheat for you, again.

foragers > amemet +1 unless you're RNG or ranged alot.

Ofcourse, but I have a feeling he's not lv71 yet.
And if he's using nq amemet and not +1, I doubt he can afford a Forager's...

Because he's the one calling us cheaters for parsing but then asks for information that could ONLY be obtained through parsing. He's a hypocrite.

Not 100% true, bushido vs any decent DD cape is pretty given, but good point.

i knew that much. Didn't know how much zanshin procs when missed. Even with perfect acc (which is impossible) you will still miss some times.
 
also I like tp+ stuff already have chiv chain and when war hit 75 it can use my brutal earring. which is why I want to find out how good the zanshin effect is and if it as good as brutal earring.
 
Zanshin is just a do-over, you're still working with your accuracy stat... apparently it has a higher acc now, but that's impossible to test, since you can't do the equip-swaps used to test accuracy while Zanshin'ing.

I'd say Zanshin procs about 10%, maybe a bit more, but I don't miss enough to really get a solid idea.
