only if it crits, so if you're outside of abyssea shura would more than likely be better. If it's hq then you can get another 1%, for 3% ws damage, making shura better in most cases. I can't show you the math, but I'm sure it's in the Blade: Hi Thread

Thats not how that works, crit dmg and ws damage are not additive. They follow different steps in a procedure, thus have their own gains and dimishing returns. It would be like saying an nq staff(+10ice mag att) + 10mab item is the same as an item with 20MAB.

Well ya gimp, if it crits ya, but more than likely, your crit rate on hi is gonna be pretty high... I didn't realize they weren't additive though.. Hito, how does the exact math work then? Cuz I thought that was how it worked (additive as opposed to anything else)... /shrug my bad y'all

well, hi is a single hit, no? or i guess considering offhand... eh D: don't mind me >_>;

edit: and i thought this was for outside abyssea :x crit rate shouldn't be all too high.

I was thinking about this the other day, after I posted actually... I'm guessing that the "crit dmg +2%" really refers to +2% of the bonus critting a hit adds, which won't entirely add up nearly as high as WS dmg+ would, which would be additive to the end of the dmg equation for the WS, no?

From my understanding (I could be completely wrong...) 2% crit damage would be 2% per hit that crits... so if the first hit of hi crits and the second (offhand) hit doesn't crit, then you're only getting the 2% for the first hit that did crit, while weaponskill damage is for both of the hits. say you were going to do 100 damage and had 2% weaponskill damage on shura head, you would now do 102 damage.

Though, that could have been what you said... I didn't really get what you were saying lol.

Which means crit damage is dependant on your crit rate %, while ws damage is a straight increase to your overall ws damage.

Well I knew that Hito, but doesn't hi have like a +25% crit rate at 100 TP or some crap? dDex + merits = another +15 even outside aby no? 40% chance without other crit gear is kinda nice if those numbers are accurate (honestly the dDex one was just a ballpark, and I had HEARD hi was like 25 or so at 100)

I'm starting to think my MKD helm isn't as strong as it used to be lol. That Shura +1 with 3% WS dmg + dex + att seems to be the strongest choice, also taking into account, that the dex from the shura will help a lil bit with acc/crit rate.
