Shura+1 with right augmment is much better than Aias.
Shura+1 with 5DEX 3WSD and Conserve TP is even close to Ocelomeh+1.
Its +6.5%(counting 3%TA from set) vs +5.2% +2acc +conserve TP

Shura+1 with 5DEX 3WSD and Conserve TP is even close to Ocelomeh+1. Its +6.5%(counting 3%TA from set) vs +5.2% +2acc +conserve TP At the time I did the build, Oce+1 was only 5M. Kabuto+1 was 4M-2M. If we wanted to go with spending gil, Im sure saving up more gil for the Oce+1 would have been better, esp if you need it on other jobs. If you already have shura+1 Im sure no one needs to tell you how good 3% wsd is, along with acc/att/str and possible dex/att for augs. I might make another set for mid, but higher end, mid for people that want to spend decent amount of gil for it, but not millions of gil for the smallest increases. I can't afford an Ocelomeh Harness, don't do Voidwatch for Toci's, don't have Usukane yet (1/3 for body), gave away my osode long ago to a friend. Until I buy the harness/finish Usukane, this is my choice (for derping around in Dynamis/old content):
tantra cyclas +2 [STR, ATTK, ACC] or Loki's kaftan [DEX.... and STP? lol] This is my current itemset it would go on: I'll have Oce+1 hat someday for nin, need the NQ relic hands drop from dyna still, and I'll farm that bomblet someday. Offline

So are WS belts and gorgets really the way to go for Shijin spiral?
Also would atheling mantle be better than a dex 4 str 4 mantle? Gorget/belt don't affect all hits of Shijin. At the very least, Artful Belt +1 or an augmented (maybe even unaugmented?) Warwolf should beat the belt.

right so should I keep on using gorget still then? also was it only shun that gorget and belt affects all hits? thanks for the response I recently came back after 4yrs of retirement so i'm pretty rusty and my gear isnt the best :P working on it though and later emp
oh was also wondering about ancient torque decent dex and accuracy on it. Also for the time being i'm using Kacura Mittens would Ochioudos Kotes or w/e :P be better? I take it kacuras feet arent so bad though I think my minuet earring is gimped lol Offline

I've really tried to get some decent dmg output from this ws but have failed. My smites are just in a different league of my shijins.
As of today, i've lowered my merits in it to 1/5. Keeping it only for the benefits it offers for tp inhibition. But I think I'm gonna remove it all together. edit: and i hate the animation - gay peacock is gay. "qheewwww" I would think that an att augmented Jupiter's ring would beat out Thundersoul, or am I wrong on that?

But I think I'm gonna remove it all together. inc smite nerf should help even it out more. it's not so bad @5/5 outside abyssea specially with the added plague. this has been my shijin, 4/5 currently, but i cant seem to break much higher than 2k in noobysea, im fairly disappointed. even my 3/5 stardivers/shohas while leveling them did more damage.
is there anything i could do to maybe fix it? 5/5 would probably help
Also, scopuli/athos feet and a dex (not agi) ring for starters. Siren.Thoraeon said: » 5/5 would probably help Also, scopuli/athos feet and a dex (not agi) ring for starters. Offline

At what point is DEX > attack or attack > DEX for 5/5 SS?
wondering about whether to use demonry core vs potestas bomblet, anguinus belt vs artful +1, hachiryu kote vs melee gloves +2, etc. If someone who knows how, could math it out I'd appreciate it. Don't want to just go off opinions. Thanks! Shiva.Schatzie said: » Siren.Thoraeon said: » 5/5 would probably help Also, scopuli/athos feet and a dex (not agi) ring for starters. Athos's Gloves and Melee Gaiters +2 unless you need accuracy and Justiciar's unless pDIF is capped. Should also use the pure DEX items for those slots if fSTR is capped, such as in Abyssea or on weak 75 cap content. Potestas over Demonry unless pDIF capped, and you can get a Jupiter's Ring augmented with up to 6 attack to use over the Thundersoul. Fenrir.Nightfyre said: » Leviathan.Pimpchan said: » Hi noobs, you can prove that attack gloves like bandomusha or AF2+2 beat 10 dex (hachiryu) and that aesir ear (7 attack) beats a dex 4 earring. An ideal set for monk looks like Spharai 99 // potestas bomblet Ocemoleh head+1 // flame gorget // brutal // aesir Toci's harness // Melee gloves +2// rajas // eponas atheling // artful+1 // byakko // athos (until denali+5) After verification 22 attack beats 14 dex and 10 dex beats 15 attack You know its almost the same ? Its almost exactly 1.5x more attack than DEX in both cases. I'm confused, did you quote the wrong post?

Would Anguins belt be better than Artful Belt? sorry if I spelled any of that wrong :P
Only if you're severely lacking attack, I'd imagine. (I'm assuming you meant +1)
just doing a follow up on the ws output since this post is pretty old what is everyone's current ws set and number compared to mythic ws and of course emp ws also what do you guys use for h2h relic/emp?

I know Artful +1 belt is supposed to be great for shijin but would Cuchulain's Belt be better? 6dex 10 attk? or is the mod being 100% dex make 4 dex better than 10 attk?

What other weapons/jobs were you considering/already have? I think that will get you a much more accurate answer.
