    Legs are good for BLU nuking, but I'm not sure how much you nuke w/o BA up. I essentially never do, as Whirl of Rage is more useful/less mp/more damage. Morrigan's feet are total and complete trash. Stoneskin caps w/ cruor buffs inside, outside I don't think you'll have enough enhancing magic to need MND.

    Ares body is still good for Torcleaver. Rest is utter crap, augmented hands from gold chests in attohwa are better, or random pool VIT augment on adaman/armada are nice too.

    Usukane sune-ate are arguably still best tp feet for NIN if you use Dusk+1 hands, but for SAM you can't cap haste with them and 5hit.

    Marduk is a macro piece, marduk feet are best for cure if you don't use serpentes, serpentes have regen and refresh, marduk hands are useless. The set is trash for BRD, as I think, though am not certain, that every AF3+2 trumps it.

    Skadi hands suck compared to the benefits of AF3+2. Can't 4hit w/o them, and 5hit is cakewalk w/ them. Feet are w/e, though worse than other options in the long run (-5 evasion :<).

    @SpankWustler Einherjar ABJ gear says hi, though I agree with the point overall.
    False. More like, with them you can cap haste and 5 hit without crap gear sacrifices.

    No, you literally can't cap haste w/ usu feet without sacrificing +2 legs, therefore losing out on one of the only real advantages SAMs have in terms of haste. Also losing +2 legs would kind of render the STP bonus on Usu feet useless, wouldn't it?

    Also assuming 5hit on Masa, which requires huge haste sacrifices in the first place. lol kikugosaku is like, automatic 5hit, but lol if you're using that and playing SAM seriously.

    Id rather them make level 99's ultimate gear be magian trials were you have to collect a certain number of items from salvage/znm/einherjar/etc to combine them. making salvage +1 gear will be pointless, we know its going to suck, although, for things like usukane, you only need to improve each piece but ~2-3% in order to beat full tantra+2, but for other jobs it won't be the case.

    No you're right, but keep trashing around the forums anyway because this is the first time you've been wrong.

    Capped haste (assuming hasso) 20.3 TP/hit through melee phase.

    Technically, Goading belt (assuming hasso) can actually be swapped in and still hit the haste cap/right below it for 20.8 TP/hit through melee phase.
