The bonus that Kogarasumaru gives to Third Eye doesn't really help tanking the way you think, it's not defensive.

How is more evade during third eye NOT defensive?

Eva takes time to proc!!

I also never said SAM needed a mythic to tank, just mentioned how it would help a SAM tank. I imagine I would actually put some effort into an eva set if I got a mythic but would all be pointless for high end content.

Tried out Shoha yesterday on VT worms and tortoises in Gustav Tunnel. I'm only @ 1/5 merits on the WS so far, but it definitely is a strong and practical WS. It was a 3 SAM EXP party, and we could constantly make all kinds of Skillchains to enhance Damage Output.

Kasha >> Shoha >> Fudo (or Shoha >> Kasha >> Fudo) was splattering mobs; lots of fun, as far as EXP goes.

I see what your saying but I just checked you and you don't have Masa or Amano. So maybe you shouldn't be saying anything? I have both and my main is SAM and I am going for Mythic and I hope it burns like some other owners have told me. I guess I'll just roll with the punches.
Why are you complaining so much? I just finished my amano and dont regret it (also have 90 masamune). Both weapons offer different utilities. Use 300tp fudo and ride AM3 while spaming Shoha. If you are using amano, you don't even need AM for hidden damage proc, you can keep the ACC and build a better tp set around that, all while spamming Shoha again. Not to mention the STR that is on masamune. I'm still 1/5 into shoha, but seeing what some sub-par SAMs can pull off with it in Voidwatch makes me pretty optimistic that a good empy/relic/mythic SAM can pull pretty far ahead of a SAM with tp bonus GK and many DD in general now. You main SAM, you have 2 great weapon for the job, and now you have one of the best WS in the game, enjoy your main job being on or near the top :D


Best post in the thread.

Mythic > Emp = Relic > Tpbonus just like it should be.

Edited the order. Emp and Relics are about equal, if ACC is capped Emp will beat Relic. (most things) But after doing T6 VW yesterday and parsing 90% acc with my relic and most DDs well below that, there are times where Relic > Emp.

SAM fulltimes Hasso on anything where eva would help and the eva won't help on anything where you'd even consider Seigan TE.

(didn't backread so I don't know if that's what he was saying, but it's the practical impact)

This.

Anyone who used SAM for actual tanking should be familiar with this kind of logic. That's why calling this a defensive GK (which has been a common idea since it was released for some reason) has always been quite wrong.

Pretty sure I said in an earlier post how eva wont matter on high end content but muh, would still throw togeather an eva set if I ever got one. It came across unclear because before now the use of hasso was just never mentioned. Automatically assumed seigan was up but I do all my tanking on WHM anyway :D

Looking at Studio Gobli again... they tried to do some testing to figure out attack bonus from Shoha. Earlier they said it's about 36~50% attack boost, but now changed to 22~43% attack boost.

Not much difference from my statement on page 4

Either way, this is the most interesting part:

http://wiki.ffo.jp/html/15175.html

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/7859#post139162

I'm pretty sure that most of us don't understand anything so here is the useful information:

Someone asked what was the "Enhances "Third Eye" effect" doing exactly and the GM explained that it ... enhances the counter rate but doesn't enhance the "time" it lasts, under Seigan only.

Therefore, could someone explain the "eva" part?

Edited, forgot an important detail.

:O I always thought the enhancement was an eva boost while third eye was active. With each trait it was +10 eva(so by 99 its +50 maybe >.>) but its such a rare mythic that finding solid information is extremely rare. No one on rag even owns one so not even anyone I could try and ask Q_Q

Which is the better Shoha body.

Avant Mail +1 or Fazheluo Mail +1

I'm assuming Avant Mail, but probably about to buy one of the 2, so I wanted to be sure.

Will probably be around 300 mil to buy the items needed for a level 99 emp.

99 Masamune does indeed have 20 str and glows.

But for 300 mil, I rather get 2 relics instead of some base damage and 5 str.

Or be a boss and get Kogarasumaru.
Your dumb... Game isn't all about weaponskill numbers noobs.... And can shoha double light, or give you occasionally double damage?....

I like how I just got called dumb and am apparently a noob by someone who doesn't know how sam works or can't understand what OA2-3 does for all damage.

Well don't you know? double light >>> OA2-3 obviously. Who needs faster tp build/ stronger wses when you can double light?.
BTW fusion -> frag -> light is just as strong as light -> light = light in terms of SC boost.

Shoha is better than fudo. You can use Shoha with masamune, btw.

Exactly! But just because you have shoha, doesn't mean that fudo become fail... You can switch it up for aftermath and SC purposes....

Only time fudo is ever worth using is if you have excess tp and happen upon 300. (Good to start voidwatch with, or to use a dusty wing and get aftermath back up with)

If you don't have relic/mythic/emp, yes, very much so.

Not sure how Murasamemaru fairs tbh, can 6 hit with low delay, high base damage, and decent stats on it... but... the tp boost from 100 to 200% on shoha is extremely large.

Speaking of 99 TP Bonus GK, anyone know what the final trial is for it? Wikis haven't been updated and I'm not near a Magian moogle to look. Probably gonna make one of those when I get Shoha upgraded some more.

Final trial is 500 ws lizards.

Pretty sure 5/5 shoha with kantonotachi beats everything in ws dmg.
