Stolen from another thread but would this:
Nuevo Coselete Rare Ex
[Body] All Races
DEF:49 HP+20 STR+5 DEX+5 VIT+5
LV 75 WAR PLD DRK SAM DRG
Acc. +10
Store Tp +4 Subtle Blow +4
make 5 hit safer without losing to much acc in tp phase. its like haub+askar had a inbred child.
I hate the way it looks but would be functional i guess.

STP+5 GKT
Wondering if a set like this would 5-hit.. and would it actually be worth it? I realise this could be better with goading / hauby+1 but as I don't have those items, this is what I came up with. Kinda reluctant to get an Askar body, as I've never been a fan.. but would be easy enough as my nyzul static is 100 and now we're getting whatever gear people want, plus goading seems like a total *** since I don't really have an active Abyssea NM LS :/
played with this set in limbo with pizza+1, dunno about higher lv mobs tho yet
need goading/hauby
and some h.kote+1 to swap in a +7 acc ring or yilbegans DEX ring XD

This point of view normally gets me flamed normally, but I am going to try it any way.
I think everyone agrees SAMs WS need very little attack to cap against most things.
A Decent SAM gets 60-70% of their total damage from WS, and 5hits are pushing this even further
Increasing WS frequency is the main aim for a modern SAM (WS damage is comes due to the large number of WS) and TP phase damage can be more or less ignored.
Therefore, you can draw to conclusions:
1. /DRG is a lot better for GKT SAMs
2. Sushi (sole) is the best food for a GKT SAM
The reasoning behind /DRG is pretty clear; 5% haste, jumps and accuracy bonus will gain TP faster (in decent buff situations) than double attack. ‘Zerk can be ignored as it does very little for your WS and your TP damage doesn’t matter.
Sushi isn’t as clear cut and normally people want to argue with me about this, but as I have said TP gain is the primary aim of SAM, which is achieved via capped accuracy and high haste levels. Often on mobs where GKT should be used, you have to make a choice, high haste or high accuracy. But a decent sushi will give 60-70 accuracy (over 1.5 times of pizza) which should allow for both capped accuracy and full haste. If you use Sole you also get 5STR which is a nice little boost to WS damage.
Pizza on the other hand does virtually nothing for GKT WS; it gives less accuracy (meaning a more conservative TP build). You do get a minor boost to TP damage, but again as I said TP damage is almost negligible and certainly not worth increasing at the expense of a useful stat.
With sushi and /DRG you can get a hell of a lot in your TP gear before accuracy will be an issue

The thing about sole sushi is that on the vasttttt majority of things your acc is capped with pizza, so why not get the att? Just because Gekko has an att bonus does not mean att is useless, you can see this buy the dmg increase your ws's get with berserk up. You also totally disregard the dmg increase your melee swings get with an att boost, you'd be surprised how much it adds up.

Kokushitsunotachi's in the same boat as Soboro Sukehiro, on that note.
Didn't say they were easy to get.
Just they are better.
I remember you posting BG the day you got you Cerb+1 and saying how much time/money it took and now you are here ignoring ToTM weapons from your list because they are hard to get... who gives a ***?
this whole discussion is moot with the next update installment coming soon lol.
*does a whole bunch of math to find out if the new totm weapons are better than hagun*
*scars of abyssea comes out*
****ton of new weapon upgrades*
*fuuuuuuuck, does more math*
that's exactly what will happen.
I laugh because it's true. What is also true is that THIS will be the expansion that finally trashes Hagun (thank god).

I just don't see what you're gaining from swapping Turban/Dusk to -1 pieces when they don't offer anything in terms of STP is all. I dont like having to use rose grip >< and i like the double attack from the askar body so i dont need to use pole grip either, leaving the slot open for something like platinum+1 or axe grip >< meh i dono, you do what works for you, as they say, im not telling anyone else what to do ^^ My point was, you are telling people what to do (not use hagun) yet you are using gear that flies in the face of a lot of the well established and proven facts about SAM. If you used Rose you wouldn't need askar If you didn't need askar you could wear Hauby+1 If you wore Hauby+1 you could wear truban You lose 7 STR and 2DA for 2 Haste and 10 accuracy. The haste alone is enough to justify those changes, the accuracy is just a nice (and useful) by product.
This is the same guy who accused my DRG for having a 7-hit build when I posted a screenshot of my Oathkeeper (which is now +14 DMG). He's not exactly the brightest kid, so go easy on him. ;-)
Yeah because i forgot to add the stp on brutal im a dumbass, good job ***.

Since you were so polite to refer to me as such a term:
I realize it's your weapon skill build, but you could even mark it as an "I'm trying to get my STR as high as I can" build. If you were doing the latter, though, your neck piece wouldn't be an fTP+0.1 gorget so I'd have to assume it's a weaponskill build, which means you actually TP in Axe Grip.
Then again, the 2% Double Attack of Pole Grip really won't help you get big numbers all the time on EP mobs for your screenshots section. All up to you. :-)

Very true, but in situations where /THF is useful you'd also be having Hagun at your side. For the time being, at least.

@Kyo - There is nothing wrong with Axe Grip, as I mentioned I mainly only use it to maximise my STR on SAM/WAR and for SAM/THF. I also believe Hagun is truly dead (not saying you or anyone else shouldn't continue to carry on doing what ever you like) and in my opinion the 5 hit Keito or Hyogugusarinotachi with STR+6 Attack+20 is a better alternative, especially after the next update. Some people just can't let go I guess >.>

No, Im saying you dont need hachiman kote to have a 6 hit build for hagun and you are sacrificing 3% haste and talking ***about my item sets. Sure it probably does as WAR is the job i use the least and doesn't get any love regarding gear...so what, did I come in here talking ***about your WAR TP build? No, i'm pretty sure I didn't.

Laugh all you like ^^ I really don't care.
ok someone clarify this for me.... What is it exactly that has dethroned Hagun? All i ever heard about it before the update was "Hagun is the best no matter what, because of the TP bonus!" So what is it now? What is the new magic stat you elietests are swearing by? Are we dropping the beloved 100% tp bonus for a 5 hit build now?
