+20 attack gloves or +2 acc ring

[mastaflex2002]

What should I get for my lvl 34 sam the +20 attack gloves or 2 snipers rings that give +2accuracy each. Currently i wear 2 +2 dex balance rings.

[davidmmmm9]

I think you meant 5 accuracy each.
It depends, if you find yourself missing more than you'd like to, buy the sniper's rings, if you never have a problem with accuracy go with the gloves.

Samurais are TP builders, so I say go with ACC.

Or just get both.

the acc are nice, but +20 tp is unreplaceable for a LONG time. but then again, so are sniper rings if you dont hit that often against IT's, go sniper. if you hit pretty well, for the attack. i went for the +20 attack 2 days ago when i picked up the kote- with +10 dex +7acc at level 47 i dont miss that often, so i boosted my attack for the time being, since at 48 i get +10 from life belt, which is a more than welcome acc boost.:spin:

invest in ochiudo's kote and a bard.. that's what i did, haven't regretted it yet ;3

[mastaflex2002]

i invested in the snipers rings. The reason being is i feel gaining tp and hitting more consitently yields better damage over time. Plus at lvl 40 i will trade them in for a pair of +5 acc each archers rings. The kote will come next

[VeggeNeedsFFXI]

You got it backwards. Archer Rings are +2 Acc Sniper Rings are +5. I got 2 Sniper and Kote right now.

[mastaflex2002]

How is the dmg output with the kote? How do you compare in terms with dragoon and dark.

[VeggeNeedsFFXI]

Well it depends on your PT and what food ya use and your SUB. If ya have berserk meat mithkabob (or better) with a bard casting Minuet it can really make a good difference. DRG and SAM are pretty much equal in damage I think. But same have more advantages to becoming stronger if ya have money. Like Ochudios Kote and Haubergeon. DRK's with money are just insane. a Rich DRK/WAR will blow away a rich SAM/WAR by rich I mean millions.

with or without ochiudo's i can out damage a dragoon :|

they rely on pentathrust for damage.. and that's not much.. penta sucks in xp parties ._.

drk, rng, and blm are the only jobs that can consistently outdamage me.

with ochiudo's and berserk i can hit about as hard as a drk can normally. souleater + berserk pwns me, though.

[mastaflex2002]

Even though dark outdamges you in a single hit with soul eater woudn't you say you probably outdamge him with all the weapon skills and chains you are pulling. From what I have experienced I would much have a sam than a drk or dragoon as they are much more versitile.

Remember that the DRGs and DRKs are in the chain too, unless they're using weaker skills to simply create a chain...they're doing good damage too. As it stands at 44, DRG and SAM float at about the same level (enpi and double thrust) and DRKs do slightly more (though often relegated to using Slice to pair up with Enpi for Distortion against ice-weak crawlers). When it comes down to it, does it really matter who does the most damage? Will you notice a damage bump with Ochudo's? Yes. Will you hit more with +4 ACC? Probably. It all depends on what you want to see floating above the mobs heads....Miss! or some number. ^^

overall, i'd say a drk outdamages me by 200-500 damage per fight, depends on if they use souleater or not. even with 2-3 ws's per fight on my part, drk still pulls more damage than i do, because they get 1 or 2 ws's off per fight, and i normally have to use enpi to start chains.

if i was using jinpu, i could probably come out equal with a drk in a non-souleater fight.. dunno if it's just me, but i notice 100-300 damage difference between enpi and jinpu, and it REALLY shows on low defense mobs. enpi will hit for 200-300, while jinpu racks up 400-600 ._. bark spiders, for example. although IT, jinpu tears into these for 400-600, and they're weak against ice and thunder, not wind. ._.

ANYWAY, the point of a samurai is not to deal assloads of physical damage, but to coordinate all of the renkeis and MB's in the group, dealing above average damage is just a perk.

BACK TO THE TOPIC!

if you have a bard in your groups, go for ochiudo's.
if you lack one, and tend to miss alot, go for the accuracy rings.
'nuff said.

better idea -

get snipers + kote at the very least if you're 60+, it's really expected of a decent sam~ but there's tons of sams that half ass it to 70+ -_- i've got a long list to go before I start leveling seriously again
