New Weapon Skill - Tachi: Shoha

Samurai ~ Tachi: Shoha
Video: Samurai (720p) *fixed

Ran some Skill-chain tests. Konzen-Ittai + Tachi: Shoha made Fragmentation. Closed Light SC with Tachi: Kasha as opener.

Nobody testing this a bit more accurately to check for modifiers, ftp, possible attack penalities etc?
I only did a very small sample of tests on:
1) Demons in Xarcabard_S
2) Weapons in Shrine of Ru'Avitau
3) Qilin

Was easily doing 2,5k/3,5k on 1) and 2)
Reached 2k several times on Qilin with just Stalwart's Drink and Hasso (no food, no other buff/ja)

But my sample is very small.
Seemed like an excellent option for SAM without Fudo (and maybe even for those who have Fudo...)

It seems to have some sort of attack bonus, like YGK, which would explain why its hitting harder then Fudo on VWNMs.

Definitely going to be the first WS I merit.

Which gorget/belt is it?

nope haha. it's fragmentation so breeze or thunder for that WS. Same with Resolution for DRKs. And btw, 7k+@100tp.

It's not Tachi: Shoha it's

Tachi: Godmode!!

It's also Compression, so Dark Gorget will also work.

Which belt is the easiest to get?

Thunder belt comes from that emperador de altepa. Shadow comes from Maere. you decide which would be easier for you haha

what is shoha fTP@100?
if it's "high" beir belt+1 will be better than ws belt

from bg wiki



1.375 at 100%
2.15 at 200%
2.65 at 300%


Add 1 ftp for the second hit, + gorget

2.475 @ 100 tp.

2.575/2.475 = 4.04% increase

I know I know, lolAbyssea, but hell, frequently breaking 6k with Shoha (highest was 6.5k) made me extremely happy. I've loved Fudo since I got my Masamune, but in Abyssea it's been a huge disappointment and I have never ever broken 6k, and only a handful of times have I broken 5k. Can't wait for an opportunity to use it outside.

And the animation is just awesome, lol.

The belts are all 100% drop so a lot of people I know just brewed one if they needed it.

Yeah, she's still not going to be happy to need a different neck/belt. Even though I'll be the one getting them. Which one works for kasha and shoha? Any?

Shadow does both

ftp is higher than I expected it to be.
With a 100% STR mod can we safely conclude that stuff like Beir Belt+1 will outperform Elemental belts?

Actually, the overall fTP is fairly low (relatively speaking), so the elemental belt will have significantly higher marginal value than for something like, say, Smite. In any case, my calculations show the elemental belt easily beating Beir +1 in and out of Abyssea.

Well the reported FTP mods are similar to YGK ones (lower at 100%, higher at 200 and 300), and elemental belts definitely were the best for YGK if I recall, but then I also considered 100% mod vs 75% so it left me wondering.

Anwyay, thanks for clearing that up, Elemental belt is gonna be! :)
