Cúchulainn is the most well-known mythological Irish hero who wielded the Gáe Bulg, a terrible barbed spear, thrown with the foot, that has to be cut out of its victim. The Gae Bulg is also in this game and drops from Vouivre. SE has used a LOT of Irish mythology and folklore in Vana'diel, this was a nice touch. Since I love everything Irish and have a THF, this is a must have for me (the belt too!).
For TP, the only thing that beats accuracy pretty much is a lot of haste. No haste on the back piece, so, why not? With the proper setup this'll beat out amemet/foragers/cerberus on almost anything. The only problem is, most people dont have the 3m+ to shell out for it.
almost 8 accuracy on the back beaten by 15 attack? wtf is like saying byrnie is better then haubergeon.
This mantle is super if u dont have 95% acc. for EVERY melee
Obtainable from the Campaign Op "Splitting Heirs", only available when San d'Oria is in control of La Vaule (S). This is the ONLY area that needs to be owned; requiring ALL areas is a common misconception!
For normal melee, 15 attack beats this? No, not when sitting at 600 attack already in most situations. If your hitrate isn't capped (95%, usually it won't be) this is the best melee mantle in the game.
I'd have to agree for BLU, but I'd love this on THF as well, the acc for multi-hit WS is very nice, bye bye commander's cape.
I'd also like to add that Astonish and Ilina on Siren are buying up "Splitting Hairs" BC drops by the dozens, sounds like RMT that will transfer to another server and sell high.
This is pretty great for a Haste/ACC setup eating meat. It's also really nice for BLU spells, NIN WS, THF SA, and anything else that is either multi-hit, driven by crits, or that relies on these mods. The drawback to it is the price tag, especially given all the heavy RMT price manipulation and server exporting. You might be better off helping Sandy get control of it's areas and then spamming the BC for this:
Sad thing is SE is making it harder for WotG Beastmen Strongholds to get taken over, and also made the BC for this piece tougher than it originally was. These are only gonna get more and more harder to obtain. Being a nearly 40% droprate, if the BC was more accessible these wouldnt cost anywhere near 4 million gil.
