Studying The Blade- The SAM DPS Guide

Also, from what I've been reading people have been pointing out that once you go over 940 SkS, the 3 Sen opener is the better choice regardless of phase. One arguing that there is a delay on the 2nd Hagakure which I found to be false since I have not encounter this delay. It always comes off CD at the right time before I finish the combo off getting another Sen thus preventing me overlapping the 3 Sens I already have. Though my ping is 130ms-140ms so this could only be on my end.

Edit: I parsed both openers multiple times at around ilvl314 with sks 941, I consistenly parsed better with the 3 Sen opener over the 1 Sen opener with the Susano dummy. Even despite clipping a little bit into the GCD with the double weaves

So, which Lakshmi accessories are you guys keeping and which are you replacing with the stuff from Omega?

Gonna keep the Lakshmi earrings for sure! Ala Mhigan Ring is gonna get replaced too, obviously. The other 3 accessories... well I want to say they're worth replacing too.

The left side is taking away so much Crit though... I hate it !

This is a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway: how often should you use Hagakure after the opener? Just whenever you have sen, it's off cooldown, and won't cap your kenki?

You've got it, pretty much. You can hold on to Hagakure to consume 1-3 Sen, to varying amounts of success as well. All depending on the length of the fight, cage mechanics, add phases, and other oddities. Trying to put yourself in a hole of, "Only use it for x amount" might end up more detrimental in some cases, so keep a flexible mind about it.

I guess this is the only place to make this question, is there a way to buy again the starter gear for Samurai, the nameless set? I guess I deleted it by accident.

No way no how. Once it's gone it's gone for good until the Calamity Salvager is updated, or there's a crafting equivalent (which there is none of currently)

do we have knowledge of statweights for sam? i imagine they won't really do much with sks, but would benefit from either crit or direct hit. hard to tell which

Front page got updated with what the current idea is for those (I was wondering about this too and saw the edit).
"So it seems for SAM, Hit > Crit > Det/SkS is the stat priority for now."

Aside from the thread linked on the first page, there was this one that was made today: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...o_stat_values/
