Augment Doji, or allocate that gil towards a Masa build? I suppose the proper answer is both, but if you had to choose only one for the time being?

R15 Masamune is better for almost everything. R15 Doji is arguably better for 4-5 step skillchaining when your main focus is skillchain damage, but it's actually a topic to discuss (see top 5 aeonic thread). Masamune is for sure overall better and you should work towards it first.

So I've pretty much just got samurai to 99 and got a Ichigohitofuri and I need advice on augments and where to start on gear currently i have cleared vagary so i can +1 any armor pretty much.
ItemSet 354851
This is your end goal for SAM as a baseline TP set. After that you can add MA,meva,acc sets etc.
It’s really not that bad to get and you can use NQ items as you build gil and resources.
So this vs. Kenda +1 body/legs multi-attack build, this wins?
I personally have 4 TP sets, switching accordingly during fight:
-Valo Body, Legs, Feet, DA Cape [QA+3 Set], mostly for Masa Fudo zerg.
-Ken Body, Legs, Feet, STP Cape [MEVA Set], if a chilled WHM is present.
-Empy, Ryuo Feet and Legs , Takaha [ZanHasso Set], so close to [QA+3 Set].
-Dagon, Ryuo Feet, Ken [Mixed Set], mostly for Doji multi sc, and works perfectly on Kei.
Accessories, Hands, and Head are fixed for all.

Because of how Zanshin/Hasso work, this set (if you don't need acc) gets obscene amounts of TP. A Zanshin proc in this set will give > 600 TP/hit.

Yes, it's the best set for pure DPS, but swapping in Ken +1 body/legs adds 117 meva, while losing minimal DPS. Going further, adding Ken +1 head/feet adds another 107, which totals 224, which is almost as much as a bolster Attunement.
The basic idea is, if you're fighting anything that has a chance to land slow/paralyze/amnesia or whatever, even 1 resist will outweigh the DPS you gain from using the max DPS set. It's not to say the max DPS set doesn't have a place, but use it wisely in situations you know you won't get enfeebled.

Adding onto ej's post, it's also assuming your party is providing the necessary buffs for you to hit your target at the required acc cap.

Does this need to be said over and over again because people don't understand what the word "baseline" means?
Considering that people need to be explained why there's a time and place for kendatsuba, yes.

You can type it until your fingers bleed, and your keyboard breaks. Never not going to be the case.

The obvious m.eva applications and what Kat said are the "time and place" that I am fully aware of. I know when to switch sets and I fully monitor my accuracy in any situation. My question was simply "is this sTP/ZanHasso build better than the full on multi-attack build (that seemed to be considered best a few months ago)?"
I mean maybe you weren't coming at me with that comment, but asking if kenda belongs in the all-out dps set is not the same as understanding there's a time and place for kenda.

I wasn't coming at you in any way, no.
The answer to your question, as with all things, is "depends". "Depends" on whether or not you need the meva, "depends" on whether or not you need the accuracy. I was only adding to ejiin's point, I'm not here to induce vitriol in anybody. I'm not making assumptions as to what you do or don't know, but it is a frequent question, so there's no harm in mentioning it.

Hey no harm no foul, just couldn't tell if you were implying I didn't know how to use kenda otherwise or if you were just expressing a general narrative for this thread. All good man.

Here are my sets:
Is that better for than path C? I'm swapping in Kendatsuba when accuracy is an issue.

C is better for a baseline set, I farmed another Abj. but haven't taken the time to upgrade and augment it.
I went path A originally so I could use them in more sets.
I will probably move everything down a slot, after confirming acc values. +1 C > +1 A > Flamma +2 > Kenda +1
Ty for reminding me.

So I did a thing with my SAM yesterday while temporarily replacing a guy who had to afk for 30 minutes and I had some time on my hands.
At around what rank can you put the Fotia Neck aside and start using Nodowa +2 for WS? I made an impulse buy, but don’t have enough Gil to R25 this for the next couple of weeks... Oops lol

Do more RP farms, but probably around R15

Meh the kaja tachi really isnt all that great eh? even a mediocre Umaru is going to be better?
Probably so close it really doesnt matter.

Decent base damage and stats, potentially competitive for people who don't have anything else
that's my assessment at first glance, though
I imagine that once it hits the next phase + augments it'll be on par, if not best non-REMA -- assuming you can get the same level of augments you can on capes.
edit: maybe having to compensate for sTP might be a pain too, but eh

Most likely going to get it, just a matter of is it good enough to get second, or wait till next month.
Sword for sure, sorta debating the dagger katana and gk based on if they're going to get used at all, tough call. Almost exclusively matters based on what job is going to be used in ambuscade this and next month.

is doji worth augmenting? since shoha damage isn't that great.. doubt 10% will make or break. what's your thoughts?

IMO it is the best overall GK at R15, definitely provides a considerable amount of versatility and skillchain potential. That being said it will fall behind if the above are not needed.
Thanks.. having Mass R15 just wrecks things up... usually use doji when soloing but seeing shoha's damage not really tempted spending 120m for 10% increase where the ws in the 1st place isn't that great.
I agree tho doji is niche.

R15 masa has 70 str though, and as much as I used Doji before I finished r15 masa, that str+Fudo dmg+10%+am3 damage just wrecks ***so much. Even now when I solo I still find myself using masa 9/10 times. Doji imo is way more niche now
