NIN Body Piece Question

[MichaelFerrari]

So, I was searching around and couldn't find this:

Is the i200 Void Ark NIN Body Piece better over the i210 Esoteric NIN Body Piece?

Iga Ningi - DEX 101 VIT 107 ACC 94 SS 66

Void Ark - DEX 93 VIT 96 ACC 60 CRIT 86

Thanks for the help!

yes, it is better, you can use it until you have the body piece from savage

Or if you luck out with a great i210 drop in Diadem.

It's better by about 1.5 effective DEX in a vacuum. However, because of Accuracy needs, the Ningi actually ends up being slightly better before you have the AS4 body. If you use the Void Ark body, you need to use the Fabled Aiming Neck (high Acc/low SS) instead of the Gordian one (low Acc, high Det)

Is that worth spending 825 Eso and a Gobtwine to get, especially if you already have the Void Ark body? 2 effective DEX is pretty small, so probably not. If you've already got the Ningi though, you're better off using a Farthing from Void Ark to upgrade it to 210 and not spending Esoterics (and a Gobcoat) on the inferior accessory.

Obviously, if you're not doing Savage, Accuracy is of no consequence, so the Void Ark body is better.
