So my HNMLS was discussing Tonight...

[Psymerga]

On how should Kirin's Osode be handed out, based on jobs and of course, seniority...can't give an osode to a newbie that just joined the first day, of course.

Looking at its stats, we all got into an argument, but it was basically the top 3 priorities being bard, monk, and ranger...

though I think, 1 war and I think 5 ninjas wanted the osode too...how does your HNMLS hand out osodes? Are they any useful for Samurai or BST? Thanks for your imput.

Bard?

[ZQM]

It's the most useful for MNK, they take the most benefits out of it's stats.

BRD it's not really useful for. Errant has the same +mages stats except for the MP, AND it has -emnity.

NIN it's really useful for, since Scorpion Harness isn't that good at 75. High DEF, AGI, and VIT is very useful for tanking HNM.

RNG it's decent for, expecially for WS.

SAM it's only useful for on WS.

WAR it's useful for WS, and when def-tanking a mob where you don't want the -STR -DEX from Koeing.

BST mostly only useful for WS. Good for charm also, however it should be given out to classes on reason that help out the LS, and a BST almost always uses a jug.

So I'd say MNK > NIN > RNG > BRD > WAR > BST > SAM.

[Corrado]

I'd say priority nin > rng > mnk.

Other jobs in whatever order.

Its by far the best piece of body equip for nin & rng.

[Bladers]

rng > mnk > nin

[Demetrios]

The Osode should be given to MNK & RNGs first assuming they are deserving. Both of those classes will wear the Osode during major HNM, while NIN would not. NINs fighting Kirin or KB (basically the two major things we are able to tank/kite well) should not be wearing the Osode, but rather an Arhat Gi(or+1) to keep hate. Basically it's a status item for us NINs, our Scorpion Harness +2. I enjoy mine but I am leveling up RNG now so that it will be put to real use for my HNMLS rather than remaining a trophy.

RNG > MNK > NIN > WAR > SAM

How ever my LS uses a point system (DKP) for Items where as item goes to person with most points and its for there mainjob~

[Seoul]

Kirin's Osode is useful for ALL jobs that can equip it. The question of how useful it is for each job, is open for debate.

That armor should be given to the oldest and most active members of the LS that can equip it and wants it, regardless of their job.

[zorca]

I don't see why a mage will find Osode as useful as melee jobs such as mnk, nin or rng.... Giving it to anyone regardless of their job is such a waste of the Osode imo. It's like giving defending ring (from KB, damage taken -10%) to a DRK or BLM saying that the -10% dmg reduction is useful when they get hit

[Demetrios]

The only mage job who can get the Osode is a BRD... I don't see where you're coming from. Anyway, BRD does make use of the stats from it (30 MP, 10 CHR, and a feeling that they can acutally get something cool out of HNM.)

[zorca]

For +10chr u can get that from Earrant body.... the 30mana is nice to have, but it's definitely not that useful compare to the other stats like +10str to melee jobs imo. It is true that brd rarely gets cool stuff from HNM/gods, relatively speaking ; )

[CarbonFibre]

Samurai of course

[Mephisto]

the extra def from osode helps when a bard does sleepga

[Ziguld]

Chr isnt the only important stat off the Osode for bard. Whatever it is, Osode makes Finale, Elegy, and Threnody land more often and last longer.
