Samurai Meriting

Its possible to 5 hit 24% haste but you lose out on being able to stack zanshin gear, well save for swaping pole for rose to counter ace mitts either way losing out on 1.xx% haste to knock it down to a 5 hit for masa in my opinion is better, the point is to ws as often as possible and sc when ever with whoever ne? least thats how i see sam.

Depends on your buffs. With marches you are better off capping haste and 6hitting then 5hitting at 24%. Since its possible to cap haste and 5hit with masa there isn't an excuse not to.

I'll run some numbers later at various haste levels.


Edit ran the numbers:

With just Hasso or Hasso+Haste 5hit

Masa/Rose//Whitetath
AF3/af3/af3/brutal
af3/dusk+1/raja/hoard
atheling/bullwhip/af3/aces

Was winning with a 5hit

With Hasso+Haste+Marches

Masa/sword//threw
zelus/justice/af3/brutal
af3/dusk+1/raja/mars
atheling/bullwhip/af3/aces

Was winning with a 6hit

All were extremely close.
