Oops mis read haidate lol, im not one to use ace's feet tho, i just dont like them but thats me.
The Byakko's + Usukane combo isn't a valid option until/unless they get some bitchin' augments on salvage gear.
Edit: Also, Bustle Dirs really aren't worth the stat loss either. Both adjustments also lose out on the Hasso boost to the Unkai pants.

I thought the hasso boost on af3+2 legs counted towards gear haste?

It appears that it was, in fact, changed. But to what is unclear, whether it's gear haste or ability haste. Ability would be appropriate. But Altana knows SE doesn't always think in a coherent fashion.

i just wonder when people are gonna remember that SAM's main dmg was by fast tp and sc'ing with a MB back up. Then again, when will SE realize they made content that doesnt require that anymore. Hmm.

That's why I played the job in the first place. But the job and game have evolved and I can't see them actually figuring out a way to make this relevant again. Voidwatch is about the closest we'll get to it. (My ls does do SC+MB on Hahava. It may not be necessary, but it is fun.)

6-hit and 5-hit are virtually indiscernible, which 6-hit leaving a significant amount of breathing room for additional accuracy.
Edit: Derp, you have an Amano. That's different.
If you use the same WS damage and the same hit average in both builds, a 5hit 22% haste will return higher DoT than 6hit 25/6% haste. You just have to make sure you dump TP asap, and that doesn't work everywhere.
Using spreadsheet (Atleast as far as Masamune goes) My 6hit set > 5hit set in terms of DPS.

I've been praying for new outside abyssea content myself other then voidwatch, some new kings or something. seems unlikely to me but it would give alot jobs back their former glory, including sam.

It'd be nice.
...minus the Kings. Avoided those like the plague. Einherjar was fun though...still is.

Just checked spreadsheet, and my sets are still according to my original statement. Are you accounting for the extra required STP on a Masa build for a 5 hit? Either way the difference is quite small, but it edges out full haste.

Penance for this statement includes stabbing yourself in the eye with a used Heroin needle.
But seriously. Never say this again.

It's all going around in circles. All during CoP it was NIN/WAR/MNK/BRD parties only.

Properly geared/buffed WAR would outdo that. To play WAR decently required knowledge of game mechanics.. Gekko is just retard proof so anyone could pick up SAM and do considerable damage.
And Colibri doesn't really contribute imo, they were just merit fodder.

Weaponskill frequency is very high compared to Almace and Kannagi.

Been playing since 2004, active during the glorious Samurai Union era on KI (2005-2006). Quit at the end of '06 and came back/quit a few more times since then.
Oh, and I'm an elitist ***.

And Colibri doesn't really contribute imo, they were just merit fodder. Average players are the ones making trends and well, seeing as most of the people here (bar a few "notorious" names who posted) never really did anything with SAM pre-Abyssea (and/or WAR, actually), it doesn't surprise me that they thought that it was SAM era just because of Colibris. It was pretty clear back then for anyone with half a brain that WAR was slightly over SAM or, in the worst case, equal.
Ramyrez's opinion is pretty much the most realistic and acceptable, though. While numbers are useful to grasp the whole job concept and utility, it is wrong to follow them blindly. Thinking that it will apply to actual situation in game, and even more wrong, any of them, is a proof that you haven't done much if anything in this game.
Hi all. I started leveling Samurai back in 2009, feeling a change was needed as the only party options for me as a Black Mage were manaburns, due to the fact that tp burn parties were becoming the norm and their opposite, manaburn parties, were growing old for me.
So, I ask this of you. I am now level 90. I plan to get the best gear I can for this job I've come to love, but I'd like some advice on gear I could grab for my SAM until I can get some of the more higher end Rare/Ex gear. It's currently Level 90 and I feel repulsed wearing the Perle set.
Help me out, please!
