Shijin Spiral : 5 hit ws, additiona effect: Plague. Tp modifies the chances of plague.
Dex mod, 5/5 merits is said to be a 100% Mod.
That being said I thought for people thinking of unlocking this ws for whatever reason might consider a build like this:
note: Prosilio/Justicier pieces for low attack buffs/berserk down. Athos gloves for high buffs/non-high def mob.
My main overall goal with this build was balance, I didnt go all out on mod gear pieces outside of pieces that contained a good enough boost. The other slots I filled in with attack and accuracy.
Not sure if this warrants a new thread, but I didnt want to hi-jack the smite thread, and people who are interested will post and help, those not will not.
Additional builds: So I realize that this top build focus more on high-tier gear. Not everyone has access/time for that nor the gil for that. That being said Im hoping the next 2 pieces(mid level, lower level) builds are reasonable for people.
Hito, I dont have gil to spend nor do I do VW, what can I substitute for now til I do??
Mid-level
Hito I dont do salvage nor plan to, Im limited on abyssea aswell or drops just dont drop.
Lower-level
Notes: I know KO has more dex/str over Usukane and nice augments, but I chose Usukane over that for the +12 accuracy as the acc was lower in that build. I chose shura kabuto for that, as the only available head piece without accounting for VW/Abyssea was +6, I think the NQs +2% ws would be better than 6 dex along side the accuracy and str/att. If you dont have shura, go with the +6 dex piece or if you already have, go with A.bonnet.
If you have victory smite, I wouldnt consider Shijin if you cant have access to higher tier gear. Medium tier probably wont cut it if you have VS.
Hope to get some helpful critiques on the 2 builds again, with reasonable understanding of why the build are set how they are.
