I'll only admit that rice ball builds are at least better than askar/hachiman builds however they still fall major short of a proper setup.
Now that i'm back... i want to show you something important Eikechi.I know you did the whole "buthasteiseverything" mentioning...
but here's the thing:
With you're current riceball setup having 4% haste you will take a swing every 6.5 seconds WITH hasso but without haste/march.
With my setup i listed having 22% haste you will swing every 5.1 seconds WITH hasso but without haste/march.
So lets step this up. If someone is double marching you for instance.
You're set would then be at 5.1 seconds per swing.
Mine would then be at 3.7 seconds per swing.
If you have a RDM or WHM further hasting you.
You're set would then be at 4.0 seconds
My set would then be 2.6 seconds.
So what does all this mean? Let's say we go merit for an hour with great katanas (lol i know shaddap let me get my point in).
Let's say we go for 1 hour exactly on lolbirdies.
4.0 seconds / 60 seconds = 15 swings in a minute.
2.6 seconds / 60 seconds = 23 swings in a minute.
15 swings a minute * 60 = 900 swings in 1 hour.
23 swings a minute * 60 = 1380 swings in 1 hour.
But here is the major kicker.
You're accuracy with that setup and riceballs is around 89% while mine is a perfect 95% with marrinara pizza+1.
While true you will have DA% you're loss in accuracy will make you miss a good number more of hits than my set. I know that's why you merited 5/5 zanshin but you'll see again why that is kind of a mistake.
Not to mention my setup is with hagun (ill get to that) and your's is with rindomaru.
So my weapon skill damage will always be much higher than yours.
So not only in a single hour would i output MUCH more DOT... i would weapon skill much harder as well.
I hope this makes sense as to why haste is an amazing thing you should get as much as humanly possible as well as 6 hit build.
Riceball build is great in theory but not in practice. You'd do great if you put half as much effort into building a proper set which i hope you do.
This is the first time i had to go lolmath at this but i wanted to try and correct/help understand the importance.
(Btw as far as hagun goes... im just as sick as *** of the thing as well and can't wait for it to be replaced eventually).
(And also on you're store TP on feet i recalulated it but forgot to update the SS.. you were indeed still short by 3STP).
