Obviously I could add more things. Buckler -> Atk earring (until 72's Suppa) and Bibiki -> Tiphia but I ran out of room in the macro and don't feel like making 2 macros just so I can add a few points of atk and acc. I'll probably upgrade the Assault to a Fowling Earring since my SAM will need one too.

Don't feel like switching over to sushi yet, getting hit for 150 by an Imp without def food on sucks. If 9% is my full return then I'm not landing all my hits the majority of the time. This might not be a large enough test though. I started taking down numbers when I hit 70 and stopped when my party disbanded.

The below 200 hits is what sucks. I know it is a crit WS and there is nothing I can do to really add a higher end to that. My DEX fails, but there is nothing I can do for it now. Hecatomb later if I get it, but eh. Also get Warwolf Belt next level but it comes at the cost of accuracy, which judging by my TP returns, I don't really want to lose. I also lose 3 str/dex when I ding into 73's Koenig Shield.

Is there any gear that I'm not thinking of that I don't have on besides Hecatomb and Warwolf? Worth it to WS in Leaping Boots (DEX+3) over my RSE2's STR+4?

I'm approaching this just like Rampage, but since it is less hits I can be more lenient on acc.. though I'm probably just overthinking things.

I say go STR, what PLD lacks is attack. DEX+ only helps in raising Critical really. Haven't looked, but dont think PLD can hit 100DEX can they?

Can post here so assuming forums up officially. If not, delete this.

75PLD/wAR

5 haub

5 Rajas
2 rk breeches
5 sushi
1 minuet ear
-------
98 dex

/NIN gives an extra point, so 99 with that sub. You could use a DEX ring in your L.Ring slot. And could use a Lightning Bow/+1 for +2/3 DEX if you don't want Tiphia. Didn't list Hecatomb Cap/Legs either since HNM only.

Suppa, Fowling/Assault/Minuet (with BRD), and Haub would be your only source of acc with that. Not counting your acc from DEX. With Sushi and A+ Sword, that should be ok on anything but NIN/THF Mamool..

Company Sword ftw MY PLD averages 450 pld/nin I'll edit later with my gear setup.

[Mosh]
