Overall, this is the best body piece for most jobs that can use it. For WAR DRK and BST if you don't have a Adaman Hauberk, this is the next choice. The best DD body piece on NIN and as for SAM I agree it should be a Full timed thing.
NIN -> Ninja Chainmail for TP
-> Haubergeon +1 for WS
^best
The 5% delay reduction can only be beaten on strong and evasive monsters. If accuracy sucks, alltime Haubergeon+1.
pointless in abyssea (which is 90% of the game these days)
Use razed ruins atma
TP askar body or something else with double attack, crit. hit bonus, or store tp on it.
even outside of abyssea tho.. most content is geared for lvl 75.. so acc shouldn't be as huge an issue.. the 20 eva down is more detrimental than the 12 accuracy gained would be (seeing as how most jobs eva caps at 300+ these days anyways)
How the *** is this better than Adaman/Armada? what're you retarded? and Lethewaters only lolSam's go around using Byrnie smart Sam use Haubergeon. the ONLY use a Sam will possibly even get out of lolByrnie is to use it for a Tachi: Rana build even then Shura Togi/Haubergeon is better. those Sam you were "out DD'ing" were prolly gimp. And dont say "Sam can use Byrnie for Penta" cause Hauby better for that to.
