Salvage Gear Enhancements

[Rearden]

Morrigan's body is still best, and I addressed there being niche pieces though not clearly enough.
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.

I'm hoping for an upgrade of salvage gear aswell. So many people spent so much time obtaining these gearpieces/sets, and just speaking for myself it's a shame all the pieces are currently collecting dust @ the Porter Moogle.

I don't have any salvage armors because they sucked to begin with. They better not put anything good on them now afterwards and force me to get sets.

At least not without making SMN immune to salvage so I don't have to be a naked SMN with 60 seconds BP timer and 17 MP per tick drain, without magic to summon or abilities to assault. Darn useless event. It couldn't have died out soon enough.

Even if SE does "put anything good on them", nobody is forcing you to do salvage. And why would you go smn to salvage anyway? Is it the only job you have?

at 75: "How can they make something better than Byakko's Haidate?"
at 80: "How can they make something better than Relics?"
at 85: "How can they make something better than AF3+2 head for TP?"
at 90: "How can they make something better than AF3+2?"

inb4 Ares body has attack+40 and ares mask has haste+9%

Skadi was/is still one of/THE best solo SATA head piece. and one of the best (other being Maat's cap) solo TA pieces.
Skadi body is/was the best dancing edge piece.
Skadi hands still are very good physical ranged WS hands.
Skadi feet still have movement+.
Skadi legs were the best Thf and Cor TP pants at 75. Add some more haste to them and they probably would jump up there again.

I agree they need buffs, but I disagree with skadi being terribad. Especially as 2 pieces are still the best for certain uses (however situational they are).

Skadi had its place, but it didn't hold a candle to some of the others.

Homam legs say hi to THF though.
Skadi hands are good if you suck at gearing RNG, I guess. Maybe, MAYBE, for Sidewinder/Refulgent.

Your link is broken.

However capping haste in gear through the bonus on legs w/ hasso isn't really capping haste in gear, if my assumptions about the set is correct.

[hiko]

legs bonus is not gear haste, saying you cap haste because hasso bonus is wrong unless you have marches and samba (cap total haste without caping gear)
