Not only that, a SAM guide would have to have so much info =S
Not really, basic math for the common weapon delays, general info about ja's and gear that enhances them, and a low/mid/high gear sections based on access and available time/gil.

Why don't you make one, Jassik
Making Registry regret asking me to join his crap VW shouts.
Ok great! Thanks very much for your quick responses :)
Next order of business, while I may ask simple questions, it shouldn't suggest I don't read back a bit at the very least, that said,
Unkai/Misu/Aethling. What's the final word with respect to Shoha and Fudo?
I would think, since we're trying to focus on proccing the multiattacks on Shoha that's kinda a given with atheling edging out misu but 3 stp 3 da is kinda nice for ws slot if you don't have access to better stuff yet to fill out other slots.
but then I think about this new zanshin/hasso stuff, and I feel like my head is going to explode and am unsure which to pick for the longrun.
this set would give me 42( 1 over the 437 delay need) stp in tp phase.
it also sports 21% gear haste but according to BG wiki 3/5 usu +1 = 5% bonus haste, so you would again be @ 26% for haste cap. also could someone please explain to me the beneifts of hagneia over thew and potestas. i know hagneia would allow me to change misuchi to atheling for more atk in tp phase. im thinking thew bomlet for shoha and potestas for kaiten.

The problem is you lose 10% Zanshin rate with that setup. It might work for a high level mob with fighters roll up. But on anything else Unkai+2 body is the best. You are also losing the 4da from Usukane head. (best in slot)
I hadnt considered the lose of zanshin, thats a good point.
somen +1 would be nice too.
Im not very rich so i havent gone for tenryu +1 hands ( gote +1 seem acceptable replacement), otto +1 or vulcans pearl.
I will look into getting shura +1 head augmented for Kaiten.
I feel drachenhorn beats twilight helm and NQ otto though.
so to summarize i should go for
usu +1 head/feet/hands
otto +1
shura +1 augmented
2nd pyrosoul and a vulcans pearl
And get a hagneia

Don't "feel"
Drachenhorn is GARBAGE for SAM. Please don't use it. Its good for a total of 3-4 WSs across all jobs.
just bought otto +1
i dont see why tenryu +1 or omdaka would be so massively stronger than usu gote +1. gote has 3DA compared to tenryu max 2% augment and if i were to use somen gote and sune ate +1 i get 5% haste to effectively fill the haste requirement of the hand slot.
The reason why Drachenhorn is so disappointing is because the attack% is only calculated when naked and weapon equipped. Not retroactively as you apply gear to certain slots (At least I think, correct me if I am wrong please). So you get around the same attack, but missing out on the 3-4 STR on the Mekira head as well as the FTP bonus to aligning days.
Only uses I can think of off the top of my head is for Upheaval, or Entropy. Maybe a few more? Torcleaver and Camlan's Torment? Pretty much anything that isn't a STR mod, where there are several better options depending on which WS it is.

With Usukane Gote +1 in that set you're only at 24% haste. In addition, the attack and fSTR increase on Tenryu +1 hands matter. I think I concluded that the only time they're better is if you have capped magic haste, Hasso up, fSTR/attack capped, Phos belt +1 to attain 25% haste. Quite strict conditions.

Okay thankyou for explaining that. and Lleweylyn you're right. my math was off, idk where i got an imaginary 2% from, lol.
so now i should concentrate on Hagneia, usu feet and somen +1, and str slots.
Another question...now that Amano is complete ( :) !!!! ) I am wondering if this is a true 5-hit Kaiten Build. According to my calculation it is but I wanted to be sure.
Right you would lose haste by using dirs over haidate, but you would gain even more by capping haste with haidate.
The lr change might affect a few builds, but i don't see it beating 10% da, berserk, aggressor, etc, and the mp pool would be too small for magic to make a difference, souleater might be fun though.
i believe you have 7 more STP than needed in your TP phase. with amano and masa 437 delay you need 41 stp in gear to get 20tp/hit. Also id like to thank everyone so far for actually helping and not turning this into a flame war like so many other gear threads ive read today.
