For SAM's, while losing 1 STR from say AF+1 as well as 2 acc from Shura NQ, they gain store TP+5, meaning with full Store TP merits all you'd need is another 5.
The new STR+10 legs blow it out of the water for WS, but these may be a nice alternative for tp gain (and WS if you lack the other two).
the whole enkidu's set is so amazing so thief, especially the hands and the legs! never before do we have so many str and dex piled up in one item! thank you june update 2008:)
Will be nice for THF beating out those who wear dragon subligar might wanna get their hands on this. The STR is a nice little extra and the Store TP will be nice if you have a decent setup.
