Momentarily forgot allagan chest is t5.

Funny enough I've actually been playing around with the Fuma body and comparing it to the melee cyclas. Although not much, I did in fact mark a dps increase. Provided you make up for the accuracy elsewhere. Plenty of accuracy options without skill speed after all.

This has been one thing I have been wondering myself. I have yet to buy the Myth body. (I main PLD so just now getting around to MNK)

Math says Myth is body is better.

Actually somebody worked out the math using the commonly accepted weights and concluded that the Fuma Body came out slightly on top.

That's simply comparing piece for piece though. In the switch from Melee > Fuma, you lose 4 STR and 24 lolSkillSpeed, but gain 21 Det and 21 Crit.

The hypothesis: the considerable gain in Det and Crit slightly outweigh the loss of 4 STR and the Skill Speed.

I got the Fuma body earlier this week and began testing. My testing involved parsing multiple times on a striking dummy with a standard setup with the Melee Cyclas, and then parsing multiple times with the Fuma Body instead, whilst making up for the lost accuracy in other slots where I can stack something besides Skill Speed with it.

The conclusion: an easily distinguished increase in both min/max and avg damage values for all skills and auto attacks, as well as a slight increase in avg DPS.

So, until I get the Allagan Cuirass of Striking, I am now using the Fuma Body for all content other than Twintania (due to the higher accuracy cap).
