Yoichi Bow vs Augmented Ironworks Magitek Bow.

[Xellos2099]

I am wondering which would be better? I heard storie4s Yoichi Bow end up with higher dps than Augmented Ironworks Magitek Bow because of the secondary stat desipte of 5 ilvl lower. Can someone confirm it?

There's a thread floating around here (maybe the bard progression one?) that someone did the math on it. From what I can remember, even with full crit/det melds, the Augmented wins by a little... about 4 iirc. However, the skill speed really screws with our tp mmanagement, so the majority of the higher end Bards here have been suggesting Zodiac. I have both, and I vastly prefer my Yoichi - I cant count the times my tp was at about 60ish when invigorate finally pops up. With my Augmented, I would have been tp starved indefinitely :v.

iirc if you go by stat weights, yoichi is like 1 dex worse. that weight is in skillspeed though, so...

anyway, it's basically 1 dex and some vit if you already have augmented bow. if you don't though and only have 120, using twine on another piece+getting yoichi is better

I have a similar question regarding the monk equivalent weapons. Currently have a zodiac and I am in the process of remelding to 31 44 at 28 42.

How much worse is Yoichi Bow if it didn;t do the perfect meld. Mine is currently at 33 crit, 23 det and 19 acc

Augmented Ironworks Magitek Jamadhars come out about 2 STR ahead of crit/det Kaiser Knuckles. And unlike the bow's skill speed, the accuracy you get on top of that is at least not a garbage-tier stat.
