Blade Jin < Blade Shun ?? Please?..

Shun does not crit, but I really wish it did. Therefore Critdmg/rate means jack for this ws.

Fire offhand is pretty much the best offhand you can get outside of abyssea period. Kamome is still best inside(I think?). Its definitely worth upgrading since you have Kikoku/Kannagi.

Here is what I use:

As you can see there are a few alternatives that could/would be better such as replacing Demonry for Bomb core(Maybe?), or maybe epona's ring over Rajas ring? Some advice on this from anyone would really be Appreciated as well. ^^

Hope this helped somewhat~

none of the merit weaponskills crit, at all

I think this set is optimal..

Honestly you would see far to diminishing DPS returns to use the core over Tathlum IMHO.

Kannagi is optional, but offhand is DA+11 Majimun.


Edit:


For easier reads, This is your itemset:

Not to troll but surely the DEX Arisui is best for Shun? Otherwise, surely, we should be stacking STR in all the other slots instead of DEX.

Just saying.

There's more to Ws's then stacking Wsc, attack plays a huge role and then there's the TP phase to consider as well~

edit: and fstr

that's not how it works

No, I know it doesn't work like that. I thought I was making a decent point but it seems dumb now.

Instead of trying to explain myself I'll quit while I am fractionally behind.

Thanks for the help, will definitely work on a STR/Attack Katana and try to get some better gear pieces when I get the chance ^..^

Attack plays a huge part, too. If no Toci's, I think V. helm wins (may be more to it). Dilaram's beat Thaumas. Bomb core over Demonry. This stat update also gave a huge boost to Shun for those who do STR/DEX 12/12. Kikoku pulls more ahead.
