AF being upgraded again to ilvl 119 so probably see enhancement bonuses increased.

Sadly, some pieces have already been shown to be same as their NQ/+1 versions.

Is it blocking enfeebling effects tied to those TP moves?

Just started doing some testing of my own. No, it does not block AoE auto attacks like Ironclad auto attacks.

Have base 3030 HP. WSing at 300%. Normal Spirits Within did 1420 as expected. Popped Yaegasumi, avoided Foot Kick and damage went to 1704. Pretty huge increase (20%)... Gonna play around with it a bit more, but a 1 hour recast sucks.

Edit: Repeated the same thing and got the same result. If someone has conflicting results to compare I'd like to see them, but looks like avoiding 1 TP move is a 20% WSD increase.

It does not.


Went to Dvalinn since you can force him to do as much TP abilities as you want. Resists Spirits Within a little so base Spirits Within damage was only 621. Avoided Hellclap, Bilgestorm, Bilgestorm. Spirits Within did 993 (60% increase). Looks like your WSD% increases by 20% from each TP ability evaded.
During this time I did a Spirits Within after the first TP move, popped a Dusty Wing, waited 2 more TP moves and did Spirits Within again. This would imply that your WSD% counter does not reset upon WSing and continues to build until the ability wears off.

Cap of 60% WSD. Used Neith as my test subject. Avoided 12 TP abilities. Spirits Within damage 920 > 1472.

Not sure if he used heat breath. All I know is he took 0 the whole fight. Even from diamond dust.

It doesn't prevent enfeebles so most likely not.

Edit: Checked wiki and apparently it's physical damage. Didn't know that. I never did too much ADL so I can't say for sure, but if anyone has experience of Dynamic Implosion "missing" then yes, it would work for that.

Please forgive me, however would anyone post the current top tier sets for SAM. Trying to get back in the swing of things from being gone so long. Looking for TP, Shoha, Fudo, Apex sets with any variations on them please.
Will be using Delve GK for time being.
Thank you for your time.

Boor Bracelets are a bit unrealistic at the moment so Mikinaak would be fine there.

Checked how it worked when including WSD% in gear. Gear is counted first, then the WSD% bonus (60% in this example) is applied after.

Used Dvalinn as my target again:

660 > base
706 > base + phorcys
1129 > 3 avoid + phorcys

Sooooo in summary, this is what I have so far regarding Yaegasumi:

Yaegasumi Results

Confirmed:
- 45 second duration.
- Stacks with Meikyo Shisui.
- Avoids both physical, magical and breath abilities.
- Enfeebling effects from abilities are not resisted.
- 20% WSD increase per ability evaded.
- 60% WSD cap.
- WSD% increase is calculated after accounting for WSD% in gear
- Grants 50% TP for every ability evaded.
- Some unique abilities can not be evaded [Tyrant Tusk (HP 50%-), 1000 Needles, Tarsal Slam, Erratic Flutter]
- Some unique abilities can be evaded [Tyrant Tusk (HP 50%+), Throat Stab, Homing Missile, Discoid]
- Does not avoid AoE auto attacks.
- WSD% bonus does not reset upon weapon skilling.

P.S.: Sorry for the barrage of posts. ^^;

Thanks for the testing, that's a pretty incredible 2hr.

Has anyone compared Masamune 99 vs Tsurumaru and whether it's worth it? Trying to decide if I want to do Koga or Masa next

Not exactly. If using the uncapped attack set ends up capping your cRatio then Fudo would still be better. However, at around 2.1 cRatio it'll depend on whether or not you have Fighter's Roll. If it's present then Shoha will pull ahead. If not then Fudo will still be best. Anything below that and Shoha will win regardless.

And here's my Ionis TP sets. Assuming you wanted those.

They're close enough to where I wouldn't bother upgrading Masa. Would definitely go for Koga.

If it's one or the other, do Koga. But yes, masamune is better than tsurumaru

Would Pre-SoA area TP sets be any different then the standard Ionis TP set?

They all only have really small differences. If you just want 1 set to go with I'd recommend the "Ionis Standard" set.
