Idle body piece

[Tazz]

Which body piece do you cor's out there idle or melee in ? I've been using my Mirke Wardecors for the +5 to STR DEX AGI...

Idle? Full Af3+2 because it looks amazing. But I don't actually shoot/whack things in it.

Melee? Loki's Kaftan, personally. A nice mix of STP and Acc. The overwhelming majority of my damage is from Wildfire, so I worry less about how much my sword hits for, and more about it hitting and getting me TP for more Wildfires.

Shooting? Loki's if Accuracy isn't a major issue (normally eating Sushi with Wildfire anyways), AF3+2 if the extra Acc is vital.

I think the best idle body piece for for is af3+2 since you can just throw on tact. roll and get an extra 1tp per tic, hand when your standing around doing nothing

[Greatguardian]

Well, ideally you're going to macro AF3+2 body into Tactician's Roll every time anyways.

For melee the best body piece is Taranis's Harness. For idle, technically the best would be something like Darksteel Harness+1.

Also if you idle in 5/5 AF3+2 you're doing it wrong! 4/5 AF3+2 and Skadi Feet/Ixion Feet/Crimson or Blood Legs ftw.

For melee the best body piece is Taranis's Harness.

Not if you're capping Accuracy it isn't. I generally use Loki's for melee, because when I'm meleeing I'm usually either fighting lower level stuff or I'm using Raized Ruins in Abyssea. On harder targets, I'm generally not meleeing.

I do agree that movement speed+ is the most important idle piece though! Hermes' Sandals for me.

This is pretty much my reasoning behind loki's.

Though, you guys both need a bit of tutoring on how to be a pirate! Style > Utility, always and forever :3!

For melee the best body piece is Mextli Harness.

Fixed. Well, for me it is. Since I use Joyeuse when /rdm and Twilight Knife/Joyeuse when /nin.

Accuracy really shouldn't be a problem at this stage of the game. Even for a melee COR.

Melee isn't important enough to justify two different Acc capped/uncapped TP sets, concidering melee phase TP would be such a small section of your damage (assuming you're keeping your WF atmas in abyssea), I'm not worried about boosting it with things like Loki's. Id rather garantee I'm acc capped against whatever it is. Taraniss harness is on a slot that doesn't offer any Haste/DA/TA and also has STP. On the offchance something is unimportant enough to melee but still a bit evasive, it doubles my current gear Acc+. With it I'm currently sitting at... 24% Haste, 13STP, 49Acc and 10%DA (but it's still missing eponas).

This is my idle set. Crimson legs plus 4/5 AF3+2. Doesn't look bad since the crimson legs are a good color match for Navarch's.
