Studying The Blade- The SAM DPS Guide

Theoretically, how long of a GCD recast / skill speed amount should we aim for? From the new gearset we are looking at we can go as low as 600sks range, I'd like to believe it to be a DPS Loss instead

I'd like to know the minimum SS needed as well. Going from 800-600 feels much slower and for wtv reasons doesn't feel like the tradeoff is worth.

Aye! I second the motion.

there is no "min" SS, 1 sen opener does not like SS and will break quickly with too much, and 3 sen is more forgiving with high amounts of SS, and unless you stack sksp as your build you should not be close to breaking it.

According to Dervy, the 3 Sen breaks at around 1785 Sks which isn't really attainable.
The 1 Sen breaks over 940isb, I think.
As you said, there is no minimum.

We have Shifu, so I can't see it mattering much.

Also! I'll update the front page soon with the new thread showing stat importance and such. It's basically what we've said, in that you want to prioritize DH. Determination=Skillspeed until you hit about 1700 Crit at which point, Crit is better than both of them. Since we'll have the breakpoint for Crit over Det/SS with this gearset, you'll probably want to focus on just Crit/DH.

So i have a question, In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOUa3JgrNrE , This guy does Kaiten for Gekko and Kasha, Is that not worth more than Shinten? ( Sorry if this was asked already, i honestly rather ask myself than to bother reading all 12 pages) Isnt that 300 more damage for 5 less Kenki?

Well, Gekko is 400 potency so Kaiten is an extra 200 for 20 kenki. Shinten is 300 potency for 25 kenki. That puts Kaiten at 10 potency per kenki and Shinten at 12 so Shinten wins.

20 kenki for 200 potency. 25 kenki for 300 potency. You don't even need to be very good at math :P.

Kenki* but thanks for Feedback
