X-hit builds do not lose all of their practicality in (delve) zergs. Capped delay reduction means you'll spend a higher % of your time in after WS delay, sure. You might take a hit from the now common AoE melee rounds or a WS/spell, giving you free TP your x-hit doesn't account for. Neither of these things make it okay to end up at 99 TP as opposed to 100 when the remedy is simple number crunching before you gear up. Especially on a WS damage heavy job like DRK.
Except the issue is, there is definitely going to be some reasonable doubt if you have capped acc or not with any X-hit build you are using on a Delve Boss. Because delve boss level/evasion is highly speculatory right now, it's hard to pin down whether it'll be appropriate to TP in an X-Hit set or an ACC set, and there's a chance you're overestimating your hit rate.
Until I can figure out whether I can use an X-Hit with DRK or not, I'm personally going with an accuracy build because my wallet is unlucky with making gil and i'm just grabbing whatever gear will increase my hitrate on delve bosses.
You do see how it's confusing to express Accuracy concerns in the form of a blanket condemnation of sTP gear and x-hit builds, right? Perhaps if the Delve MegaBosses' approximate levels/evasion rankings were more clear to me (i am honestly bad at calculating this), I would be more open-minded to using x-hits on them, especially if hit rate can be capped using X-hit/Multi-Attack gear on the Delve MegaBosses. Currently I seem to be having trouble finding this info on BG.
It's not that I'm condemning them...at least, not on purpose. >_>;
This what parser's are for, they tell you your accuracy.. That could have solved the issue for you immediately without needing to know the NM's stats If only I was able to go DRK for Delve! I'm the LS GEO nowadays lol. I'm working towards getting a Senbaak crafted (I'm broke as ***) so my DRK can be readily available when needed @_@

So you're never going DRK but you want to know how to gear it, to never take it anyway?!
Priceless.
Reminds me of the days I used to RDM. My Hagun SAM was never taken to events dispite being the strongest DD in ls, because the other DD's refused to level a mage.

It really should be a point of pride that people are/were able to fill a needed role regardless of their scope of abilities. It should be a point of shame that so many are able to occupy a slot simply for lack of diversity or effort.
I think that's the reason a lot of people left. Kudos to the people who are team players, they always were what made FFXI great.

Ignoring the minor defensive benefit, we're looking at...
Armadaberk -> Pak Corselet

-3 Store TP
+3% Haste
Armadaberk -> Pak Corselet +1
+6STR
-1DEX
+7ATK
+2ACC
-2 Store TP
+1% Double Attack
+3% Haste
"Trash" is fairly accurate for the HQ (NQ too really, but less so), particularly if we're taking into account the fact that perfect Armadaberks aren't really common and the loss of a couple of store tp is, in almost every single case, moot.
pak doesn't have dex >.>

You do realize that the stats on the Pak Corselet that prothescar is comparing to, are what's going to be on them after the update.
Trying to decide on rewards from the Wildskeepers NPC.
Are these gloves any good? They look great but I have not seen anyone really mention them. I have Ares Legs +1 but no hands for the set bonus.
