Comparing our two sets, I think mine comes out on top.
Mine:
+22 STR
+7 DEX
+6 Attack
+17 Acc
+2 DA
Yours:
+5% Crit Hit Rate
+2 Store TP (Which may not be needed)
EDIT: Unknown amount of Zanshin. Assumed to be 5%
That's assuming my math is right >.>
Sam Gear Lvl 99

21.9 TP/hit with that TP setup. What does your Stardiver set look like?
Was just an idea for a tp set, never used stardiver properly as I'm still 3/5 but will post one shortly with the gear I have.

How much Zanshin is on it?
BG said 5% but don't think it's ever been tested really properly.
I tried and failed lol, never did big enough test samples.
Mostly looking at the possibility of switching body to Unkai and grip to Sword Strap.
Delay -3% (466, still 20.2TP/hit)
Haszanshin +2.5% (assuming Hachiryu is 5%)
+3 Accuracy
+4 Attack
+6 Store TP
-5% Critical Hit Rate

This is a total stab in the dark though as I have never really looked much into stardiver and think I'm waaaay over shooting the stp needed in there.
Never thought of sword strap though, just got into the habit of thinking ROSE4LF lol.
Edit: This is actually my shoha set with just diff gorgets and hands>.>
With the Sword Strap build you'd be looking at 100.5TP after 4 hits and a Stardiver where all of the hits connect. Assuming you have at least 1~3/tic regain it should be fine. Outside of that, you can add Misuuchi Kappa to your TP set to allow you to miss two hits on Stardiver and retain your 5hit.
Something like this should be near optimal for TP:
+1 Abjuration Tekko over Brego ofc, but since those aren't realistic I didn't include them. Ghillie earring if you need the accuracy, though on anything you'd be using polearm on (fodder mostly) you probably don't need it. NQ Phos/Bullwhip would be fine for the waist too.
For Stardiver:
Should be good.

Cool beans, nice to see some actual sets posted. Thanks for the help Mcclane and pro
what about quint spear/apex arrow spam on normal mobs and stardriver compare? i kno embrava ecc are fast tp,just idk if whit quint/apex spam there would be difference.
What is with people and their hard-ons for QS/Apex Arrow?
[+]
Idk. There's no reason to ever use Apex Arrow, let alone on SAM.
Apex Arrow makes me a sad panda. All the times I tried it on sam it was nearly the same as Namas. I don't even have it merited anymore.

Good girl.
SAM doesn't get access to any arrow weapon skills without being /rng besides apex and namas.

I cannot think of any content on which a Samurai would be useful where a Samurai wouldn't want to be at range...

complete side note.. Jos I friggin love the pink panther avi's. I love your nod to the classics...
On topic though, no, I don't think apex is useful on any damn thing lol. Which is odd because I see yoichi rngs/sams use Apex over Namas.

On my server, yeah. I see it split with some rangers, but I see quite a decent bit of Apex use.
I want to merit apex over shattersoul now just to see how much damage it does :(
ya i love sam/rng as well,thats why i asked,there is any reason i should get out that ws?
I might not have the best sam/rng gear, but I was really underwhelmed with Apex Arrow 5/5
Edit: Currently working on Yoichi

I can't think of a reason to use Archery on SAM unless you have a Yoichinoyumi and really want to lower your damage output in exchange for not pulling hate. Namas Arrow is the only Archery weaponskill in this day and age that I'd ever use on SAM, and even then, it would only be to play around.
They likely wouldn't be capable of killing it at all. Doubt a DNC could either.
