Does anyone have an idea of how much dmg+ this adds? I'm assuming it's similar to tantra crown/ultion mantle. (but you know what they say about assuming.)
Also, is there a cap to the amount of dmg+ you can add to counter attacks?
thanks~

Melee Gaiters +2
Does anyone have an idea of how much dmg+ this adds? I'm assuming it's similar to tantra crown/ultion mantle. (but you know what they say about assuming.)

There's no known cap, but there's only like 3-4 pieces that add to it. thank you, that's what I wanted to know. Did you test this yourself, I'm curious because I haven't been able to find info on them anywhere.
I concur with Motenten, Ive tested it myself and if im honest i prefer tanking in them
Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I'm thinking of the Tantra crown +2, Backlash torque, counter earring, ultion mantle, and melee gaiters +2 for a counterstance/noncounterstance tp tanking set.
with counter stance up it should put me over the cap, but even with it down I'll be sitting on about 26%. Add perfect counter in there and it should be a pretty solid set.

Question about Melee Gaiters - supposedly they drop in Dyna Valkurm but I've farmed coins there for the past week without seeing them. I've only been farming Hypogryph, Funguar, and Treants. Do they only drop from beastmen or something?

Haven't done Dyna in about half a year, but irrc Bastok is best place to get these, the mobs you are farming drop -1 pieces and accessories (belts, capes etc.) Also irrc yes beastman. Offline

Thanks. Does it help to proc on beastmen for AF2 drops or should I just bring TH?
Don't need proc for relic drops.

I tried all 4 different beastmen for a 2-hour run today in Dynamis Valkurm. I had several AF2 drops but not one of them was the boots. Would it be safe to assume that I'd have better chances in Bastok or is random just random?
P.S. Apologies if this is a derail. I didn't see any other "recent" thread on melee gaiters that was less than a year old. Random is random. Think about all the AF's that can drop, and then realize that there is a 1/x chance it will be the thing you want.
Bastok is your best bet to but try to go when the place is empty or 1-3 people in depending if they are soloing or not. IF time constraint is a problem then just ask a group if they drop can you have em.

Got them. But since I'll probably only use them to macro for counterstance, I don't think I'll bother upgrading them. Thanks for the help guys.
+2 gives more counter, so you should really upgrade them.
Why wouldn't you bother upgrading Melee Gaiters? Or did I just misread that? It seems like you went out of your way to specifically farm them up for the +5 counter during counterstance, it will be less effort to upgrade them to then get +5 counter on top of what the NQ have.

Melee Gaiters +1 Melee Gaiters +2 Each one says 10% increase counter rate. I just assumed that information was correct. I just fixed the individual equipment pages on BG Wiki. The Counterstance page itself had been updated based on my testing, however I didn't realize the Melee Gaiters and Melee Gaiters+1 pages had not.
