My nin is just about to hit 72 and was wonderign which is better for TPing in or if there is another set of gloves which would be better

Okote +20 att

Dusk +5 att and +3% haste

Thank you
 
Hey Lewser :biggrin: , it depends. If all you have for haste is the gloves, TP in the O.kote. If you have more haste, depending on how much I would go with the dusk gloves.
 
I use Dusk for TP and O.kote for ws.
The -evasion for O.kote is fugly. :P
 
It all depends on what other gear you have, give us a list of your TP setup.

Then you can sell those gimpkote and get some Bando's.

Bando's are gimp, get the new r/e kote.

Um, aren't the new rare/ex kote's the same damn thing as O.kote thus making B.kote still +2 more attack? Or is this your style or humor/sarcasism? ;P

B.kote were sought after as replacements for okote because they are r/e and makes okote expendable. Now with the new r/e kote you can hold on to those instead giving you kote for any of the 3 jobs, even in capped areas.

That makes those kote that more valuable than b.kote. A free kote that doesn't take months to see a drop is pretty cool, b.kote are just a pain in the ass with no real reward except 2att.exe
 
For gaining TP fast. Dusk.
For increasing DoT. Kote.

Just rememember gaining TP faster isn't the same as doing more damage. In my opinion, the attack will provide you with far more damage than the slightly increased attack speed will. Mostly because the 15 more attack is fairly huge. That's 1/6 of a Hedgehog Pies Attack cap.

they are both 3 jobs, just bando's don't work in level capped areas. 3% HP is pretty nice too... 13 def and 2 attack don't hurt either.

but who really deals with level capped areas that much anymore? once you have sea, i very rarely see level capped areas, unless you're going after soboro or swift belt or something..

so i really dont see how you're going to say o.kote > bando .. lol

as far as OP, i'd say tp in dusk, then macro in something else for WS.
 
I use dusk gloves for tp gain then swap to nin. tekkos+1 for ws. I wouldn't use O.kote for jin, I've always done more with af+1. Wouldn't want to gimp my dmg.

Attack isn't that dramatic for ninja. In the end both will give you about the same DoT.

how do you like them? i contemplated getting that upgrade, but, now they opened up pallas/alky... idk ;( the +dex is nice though, guess you get that extra acc up instead of acc down from the gigas.

Think it depends on if they want to deal with the evasion loss or not, though Bandomusha is definitely better for WSing, at least.

If you're cannoning I'd say go with Dusk. In traditional XP parties, the extra attack from a kote would probably help much more with hate management.

However...if you happen to have good accuracy gear, you may want to consider Hanzo Tekko and seeing if you can manage attack food instead. Though this generally isn't something you can pull off, it's always worth a shot and can give rather good results at times.
