Just got the tantra neck yesterday while getting an auric dagger, the stats (incase anyone needs refresher) are "accuracy + 5, kick attacks +2". I usually use faith torque for tp, but now I'm questioning the decision. my h2h skill is 389 (no +2 hands yet), making my base dmg 45.79 (with the torque). Without it and with the tantra neck on I'm 45.02. So the base damage is the same. When I have the torque on I do however gain an additional 7 attack from the skill boost.

I know that once I get the +2 hands the faith torque is the way to go, but right now I'm not sure.

Easy simple question: Which to wear for tp?

Can prolly switch your hands slot and get something more useful.

With +2 AF3 legs, Afflictors, Tantra Necklace and 5/5 kick attack merits... I'd defenantly stick with the kick attack set up. As for hands stick with the haste and h2h skill. Faith torque is something you can skip out on for the time being.

Kicks are like DA, the more you have, the less you gain from it. You'd gain more from tantra w/ 0% DA than you would at all the DA you just mentioned.

Also, Afflictors are a horrible piece of gear.

oh brown belt, then yea you're keeping hands. Need to swap to haste feet too. Tantra gaiters are ***if your haste isn't capped.


I'll do some rough math w/ necks and double check it on Kinematic's spreadsheet.

kk, w/ your set as is, tantra necklace slightly edges out.

Swapping to fuma and keeping fath, wins by a healthy amount.

Swapping to tantra neck after swapping to fuma is slight decrease from faith torque.

For your current set, yes, but +2 hands are rather easy, so wouldn't be for long.

and yes, fuma (or usu if you have them) and faith torque for now.

The acc+8 attack+8 neck would be ideal in your current situation.

Thanks for the advice ^^. I'm going to be finishing up the +2 body probably within the hour, and then I'll go for the other things you mentioned.

Question for Mr. Tiger:

This is my current TP set:



Is this acceptable or am I make a big mistake in using both tantra accessories? I don't have Faith Torque yet, although I'm working on it(0/2 atm.) Should I use Asagaya's Collar + an attack earring or this is acceptable until I get Faith Torque?

Thanks!

Note: I use MNK/WAR 90% of the time unless shadows are required - which is very rarely.

This^ You and a friend can kill things for 2 Amphi pops via gold chest if you can't kill Melo Melo. Get a BLM/BRD and BLU/NIN, proc yellow on each and kill away :D Having Formless Strikes helps too when it goes into magic mode.
