The Claymore is nice but you can't crit a non-crit WS without SATA. Sword Strap would be nice if it didn't decrease TP per swing killing most 6-hit set-ups. Thus by default Pole Strap is the best.Ringthreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647692008983055147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33217081.post-4027256894037949602008-03-21T10:50:00.000-04:002008-03-21T10:50:00.000-04:00leana, the point you are missing is that racial di...leana, the point you are missing is that racial differences are irrelevant when comparing gear. You can not change your stats so using one or the other because of those stats wont make any difference besides the stats on the weapon. Using the Mezraq because you have lower STR will not change the calculations, they will still have the same outcome, just at a different STR level.Ringthreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647692008983055147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33217081.post-51617914868870320652008-03-21T08:45:00.000-04:002008-03-21T08:45:00.000-04:00Racial attributes are not really that important to...<I>Racial attributes are not really that important to this calculation because they will be consistent.</I><BR/><BR/>Constant it might be, Race at endgame in some instances mattters a lot lol<BR/>(think PLD on mithra and PLD on elvaan, both (should) build differently to what needs some extra (mithras case VIT)<BR/>I'm not saying one is better then the other, I'm just looking from my own perspective ;P<BR/><BR/> the difference between Str and Dex on a mithra at 74 DRG/sam is 6 points: Base: 71 Dex & 65 Str(I don't have Stat Merits yet)<BR/><BR/>so I'm more inclined to go grab some str for a little more Ooompf for my WS ;)<BR/><BR/>mind you if I were an elvaan I'd go for some dex (no offence intended I'm just looking stat wise for each thing compared to what I need more )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33217081.post-31439381868855537942008-03-21T03:32:00.000-04:002008-03-21T03:32:00.000-04:00In Omoi's setup, does pole strap make a decent imp...In Omoi's setup, does pole strap make a decent impact?

Have you beaten Odin? Did you check out the comparison in time tables? You don't do Einherjar for the regular zone drops.

It is no such thing. I've personally gone twice a week since the event was released, I own one of the 15000 ampoule items, and I've seen a grand total of one abjuration drop.
