Ah.
I'm mostly complaining because of the principle of the matter tho. :C

Break this down please:
Idk why you have to write all this when you can clearly see in my post that “someone can explain it way better.”
I broke down mine, point where it went wrong and move on and don’t just give numbers like that when you can literally follow every step in my post.
And yes the debate was body vs body not wsd vs multi... you had wsd in multiple slots! How would this factor “bodies”?

It matters because altering the total WSD changes the relative value of +multihit gear.

1.62 is the expected average number of hits per swing on shoha.
meaning that expected average number of hits for a Shoha is going to be2.62 3.24.
Note: generally believed via multitudes of testing that each of the first two hits of multi hit WS have a chance to proc a multi attack.
fTP/WSD/Fotia only counts on first hit of the WS, not all hits so on Shoha @1000 TP you're expected aggregate fTP is going to be on average 1.575 + .62 + 1 + .62 = 3.815 total http://fTP. Your calculations had at base @1000 TP an aggregate fTP of 4.39. You're off by a significant margin.
Edit:
How Austar got to the 1.62 number and where you went wrong.
You calculated MA as for example
QA rate 100 * 0.03 = 3 and then you added 3, when you should have added 9. Meaning you had 9 extra attacks due to the 3% QA rate from Niqmaddu Ring. You did that for TA too, only calculated the chance of a TA proccing and not the actual number of attacks added.
End Edit:
So, where you went wrong:
1. calculating incorrectly fTP on multi hit weaponskill that does not replicate fTP across all hits. (This greatly skews the math toward MA)
2. calculating incorrectly total average number of hits per weaponskill. (Acutally skews in favor of WSD)
3. it became a discussion about full MA vs. WSD because you ignored WSD in all slots on the set you posted as an example Shoha set.

Thanks for the clarification!
In regards to point (3):
The initial thought was switching Dagon with Relic and i only did that in Shoha set which was built on Multi Hit from start.
If WSD in Set was introduced prior then yes you're right, but It wasn't.
Also your note mentioned procs on the first two hits does this mean if a QA procs on first it must be QA on second or it moves to TA?

Each of the first two hits has an independent chance to proc a MA.
Also please see my edit above to explain where Austar got the 1.62 number.
It's from the MA chance polynomial.
A = 1 + 3Q + 2(1-Q)T + (1-(Q+T-QT))D
Q=.03
T=.19
D= .21
1+3(.03)+2(1-.03).19+(1-(.03+.19-(.03)(.19))).21
1+.09+0.3686+(1-(.22-0.0057).21
1+.09+.3686+(1-0.2143).21
1+.09+.3686+0.164997
1.623597
A = 1 + 3Q + 2(1-Q)T + (1-(Q+T-QT))D
Q=.03
T=.19
D= .21
1+3(.03)+2(1-.03).19+(1-(.03+.19-(.03)(.19))).21
1+.09+0.3686+(1-(.22-0.0057).21

Ah thats wonderful!
Thanks for all the explanations.
Thanks for all the explanations.
Another way to look at it with your set:
If you ignore WSD for the moment, you have 1.575 fTP for the first hit and 2.24 for the rest of the WS. For argument's sake, you need 42.2% WSD to make the damage of the first hit of the WS equal the total average damage of the rest of the WS. That is pretty easy on SAM with just the AF/Relic/Cape.
Overwhelm: 19%
Cape: 10%
AF Legs: 10%
Relic Body: 10%
Total = 49%
So even at 1000 TP, your first hit is going to do more damage than the average rest of the hits on Shoha. @2000 TP, 2.3875 fTP with fotia makes the first hit out damage 2 double attacks or 1 TA before you even account for WSD. Which is why I have in the past just gone with WSD on Shoha exactly like Fudo.
My current WSD set has (counting overwhelm) 61% WSD, so with Doji, the first hit of Shoha does the equvalent of 4 hits (aka 1 QA) when I'm at at least 1250 TP. With Relic Body +3, that would be 68%
I may switch to Austar's posted set, but I'm not really in a hurry to, because for me it's about consistency.
Edit:
For Reference BiS would probably either be:
ItemSet 357778
Valorous 10 STR/5% WSD or 15 STR/4%WSD
Smertrios 30 STR 20 acc/atk 10% WSD
Or:
ItemSet 357779
Valorous 10 STR/5% WSD or 15 STR/4%WSD or 10 STR/5% Double Attack
Smertrios 30 STR 20 acc/atk 10% WSD
With Doji, I think the first set would consistently perform better. With other GKTs, its a little more fudgable.
Calculating those 2 sets specifically,
@1000 TP Set 2 wins by .25799 fTP (~6.6% better fTP)
@2000 TP Set 2 wins by .119865 fTP (~2.3% better fTP)
@3000 TP Set 2 wins by .034865 fTP (~0.6% better fTP)

you should probably use moonshade. a lot of the use of flamma is also from the strength and store tp which will make next weapon skill a bit stronger, whether it’s shoha or fudo.
I did the calculations with moonshade and not the DA from Lugra, just have them in my sets.
I did have a slight calculation error that favored Set 1, so the real numbers will be updated in just a sec.
I did have a slight calculation error that favored Set 1, so the real numbers will be updated in just a sec.
i mean you should have them in your sets unless only using at high tp.
With the math error fixed, Set 2 wins even @3000TP on average. So it comes down to consistent first hit vs. overall average damage increased. With a Doji, the maximum average increase is ~2.3%.
I would be interested to see calculations on Lugra +1 vs. Moonshade on this WS because the benefit of extra TP is fairly low. I think moonshade would win between 1-2k TP, but I'd be interested if it does between 2-2.75k.

Interestingly, the original set with Dagon is able to produce similar average fTP to the BiS set Austar posted. I'd be a little leery as you give up so much attack for this shoha set, I'd want to see math with STR/atk factored but here's the breakdown
@1000 TP original set wins average fTP by 0.068954 (~1.6%)
@2000 TP Austar Bis set wins average fTP by .174796 (~3.3%)
@3000 TP Austar BiS set wins average fTP by .324796 (~5.5%)
@1000 TP original set wins average fTP by 0.068954 (~1.6%)
@2000 TP Austar Bis set wins average fTP by .174796 (~3.3%)
@3000 TP Austar BiS set wins average fTP by .324796 (~5.5%)
i can force my simulation to use any tp amount before tp bonus and run some numbers. not doing that gave me the result i posted earlier, with very minor differences in a few slots, so i favored weapon skill damage to reduce variance and some have higher tp returns such as head and feet that will affect the following weapon skills unless it’s something like rana
forcing 1K tp before TP bonus on gear, with everything being capped (and overwhelm 5/5):
swapping in the couple of pieces I did:
Of course, doing it like this is a little inaccurate. The STP does affect TP return, which may or may not affect how fast you're building TP, but it won't apply to overflow numbers, so both should be just a tad higher.
Edit: That's with your suggested set, not the original MA based set. I'll go back and look at that in a bit.

I'd be interested in a normal theoretical distribution that takes into account TP gain and realistic TP numbers. Your set seems to average over 4.5% higher when only @1750 TP.
Using Ejiin's set as a base, except I used Doji and Flamma +2 feet, along with my Shoha set above. Since Ejiin's set assumes SAM roll, I used it here.

I’m actually going to be putting -pdt on my tp cape. Assuming I’ll be tanking the Nm most of the time, and just toggle between meva/mdt set with tp/spells with react. But I do plan on making more than 1 tp cape with the new augs. But it would be MEVA over status resist in cape for me on my hybrid set. But this is just my personal preference

Status resist+ for the simple fact I use Kenda for TP set on ***that does para/amnesia/etc.

If 5/5 Kenda and well buffed, Status resistance +10 might come out ahead.
If 2/5 Kenda (body and legs), Magic Evasion +15 might come out ahead, and will help with more than just status effects.

Thinking status+ will, in any content that matters i use miso over traditional dd food also.
Leviathan.Kingkitt said: »

One way to check would be to compare your Magic Evasion and resist rate to those of a RUN in the content you are doing.
If you are close to the RUN, but below and seeing a significant difference in resist rates, I would go with Magic Evasion +15.
If the RUN has far more Magic Evasion than your SAM, you could do a few test battles with the RUN swapping out some gear to get to exactly your Magic Evasion plus an additional 15, to see what you would experience with that particular cape augment.
Here are some great discussions about it. I know you've already been reading these, but for future reference:

Thinking status+ will, in any content that matters i use miso over traditional dd food also.
One way to check would be to compare your Magic Evasion and resist rate to those of a RUN in the content you are doing.

Only meva i get in zergs on rune are from runes/valiance/pflug, i go full dd set so I'd assume they're similar just thinking about sets sets. Honestly don't know the last time i used sam in a zerg. But i think my sets are pretty solid on rune, and i think valiance goes a long way for a dd pt so long as your rune puts out respectable numbers.
SAM, from Gifts, gets an additional 26 Magic Evasion.
RUN, from the Tenacity trait, gets an additional ailment resistance of 15%.
RUN, from Gifts, gets an additional 70 Magic Evasion.
So, even without any JAs, RUN will be quite a bit ahead of other jobsin a straight DD set naked.
Tanking, a RUN might be wearing any combination of gear with Resistance to all status ailments and Resist all elements.
I'm not saying you are incorrect. Status resistance +10 may very well be the best option.
It all depends on where the player's Magic Evasion lies in comparison to the enemy's Magic Accuracy.
Quick and dirty edit for more information:
A SAM can catch up to or even surpass a DD RUN's Magic Evasion, though, which is why I recommend doing a more detailed comparison for oneself.
For example:
Kendatsuba samue +1 has Magic Evasion 117
Kendatsuba hakama +1 has Magic Evasion 139
Adhemar jacket +1 has Magic Evasion 69
Samnuha tights have Magic Evasion 75
The difference between these two pieces puts the SAM ahead by 112. Even accounting for the difference in Gifts, the SAM is ahead by 68.
Depending on the other gear in each player's sets, either one might come ahead, and you can choose a 5th cape augment accordingly.

Yeah, I should be working myself. I think what is generally considered a BiS TP set for SAM = the generally considered BiS TP set for DD RUN + runes of the appropriate element.
So, I believe you are right and that the two are similar.
Running the numbers, I'm more convinced that you are also correct in that, with a BiS TP set on SAM, Status Resistance +10 is likely the best pick.
Any others want to offer their thoughts?
