Smilodon Mantle+1 for WS?

[Spalko]

is macro in Smilodon mantle+1 worth it over Amemet+1?

thats 3 STR vs 15 Att

Easier to answer. Think of a Forager's 3 STR 15 attk. Would you wear it over that? 2 STR for 15 attack?

When I'm of the level, I can't see trading 2 str for 15 attack. Especially having to lug around another item in my inventory. I can surely say for my Steel Cycloning on my warrior (similar in the fact that it's a 1 hit weaponskill) I wouldn't choose the smilo +1 over my foragers.

I am not a SAM, but I personally wouldn't trade my Amemet Mantle +1 for WSs for it. I mostly see the Smilodon Mantle +1 as a back peice to macro in for physical Blue Magic spells since they are not affected by attack in any way.

No, Amemet +1 is better.

 

[Spalko]

hmm ok thanks

i just tho how good will 3 STR be with 75% mod while compare to 15 att

You want an equal distribution of ATK and STR. The 15ATK from AM+1 is very nice to pretty much any DD job. Even though SAMs 3 WS mod is STR, 15ATK will weight out that 2STR in most cases.

Well if you wouldn't wear a Hachiman Domaru over a Haub, I would guess you wouldn't wear this over a Amemet +1.

 

[Spalko]

why not, Domaru looks good lol

Loss of some accuracy and a fair amount attack vs gaining a small amount of STR and a few points of Store TP on one hit.

Just isn't worth it.

With regards to the 3 main WS's you'll use, consider 1 point of STR to be equal to if not slightly more powerful than 5 points of Attack. Therefore, the difference in damage between Amemet+1 and Smilo+1 would be almost entirely negligable. You'd be better off just using Amemet+1 (or foragers, cerb+1 depending on your wallet) for both TP and WS.

And yes, Domaru is a total waste. Haub -> Haub +1, perhaps Osode for SA/SATA WS on especially high end mobs, but the difference will be minor.. and you'll probably find Haub +1 beats Osode for SA/SATA WS in most situations anyway.
