Bushido - The Way Of The Samurai (A Guide) V. 2.0

lololololol.... im retarded a lil. after looking into key binds. i found out that alt F9 changes weapon. sry for bothering you all over it. im new to gearswap and didnt know much about key binds

Good, it's a great file, glad you got it going.

So, this is something that's been on my mind for a while. My Koga's finished in around ~12 days. This question really only pertains to mythic AND Yoichinoyumi holders.

If you have AM3 from mythic currently active, then use Namas Arrow between 1000-2999 TP, would the aftermath from Namas Arrow overwrite the aftermath from the mythic or viceversa?

relic overwrites mythic

Anyone have suggestions for a good Fudo set?

This is what I`m currently using:

ItemSet 325207

Rank 15 Path C Bow
Rank 15 Miki Legs

Other than the obvious +1 upgrades is there anything else I could change?

probably miki hands and anther pyrosoul

That's a kick in the balls :/

EDIT: derp

119 versions of relic body/feet, 119 AF legs, 2nd pyrosoul since you don't need STP with Tsuru, and more than likely buquwik will beat atheling.

Bloodrain Grip
Phorcys Body
Mikinaak hands any time you aren't attack capped
Second Pyrosoul if you are using gearswap, Strigoi if you are using spellcast or windower macros
Buquwik Cape
Metalsinger Belt (small upgrade and hard to get depending on your ls situation)
Wakido +1 legs (or Scuffler's but again harder to get)
Sakonji +1 feet

Why Bloodrain Grip?

Had fighter's roll on for some reason, Pole is like 1-2 DPS better if you're accuracy capped with no cor.

I'm getting Sakonji+1 as being significantly better for harder targets (Tojil on spreadsheet) than Phorcys right now for Fudo, is this true or am I doing something wrong? Difference is around 140 WS damage.

You're assuming overwhelm right?

Short answer is fSTR and Overwhelm

Even checking Overwhelm off I get Sakonji+1 ahead by a large margin. I can't actually find a way to make Phorcys better on a target like Tojil.

What buffs/weapon

Check if you're accuracy capped with Phorcys in the situation where you have Sakonji +1 ahead. Only time I get Sakonji +1 beating Phorcys is when the accuracy is helping.

Edit: nvm I fixed it.

Anyona have a updated Tsuru+Cibi+Apex set?

Read a bit but tired so thought easier to just ask,
ItemSet 319615
been using that set for SAM. Any thing I need to change out to better it?

First page is updated. Those sets are best i believe.

Amano TP shows blank for me so didnt know if it had changed, thanks for letting me know

Assuming Ionis but no Samurai Roll:

Bloodrain
Sakonji head +1
Ganesha's Mala
Brutal Earring
Tripudio Earring
Takaha Mantle

Will give 4 hit in typical 1 hit WS gear.

Real answer is swap to Tsurumaru, though.

For the Tsuru set, why so much STP? Seems like you could easily fit Oneiros/Xaddi Legs in there.

Why would you want to use Xaddi legs over Otronif +1 for low accuracy build?

Oneiros is always worse than K'ayres unless you are using a WS that doesn't have scaling fTP

I've found Oneiros to be better than K'ayres after the change by enough to matter. You're probably right on Otro+1 legs for most things you'd use a fodder set for.

ItemSet 324775

was bored , made this . -4% on each o-piece and +2 mdb on hands

I really hate to give up relic GK, just kinda anal about relic > other.
Wanted to know if possible how much does Tsurumaru beat Amano and is it only in SoA zones?
I do assume Kaiten is officially dead though right?(which sucks cause i love that WS)

Also last just wondering seems losing 8% DA would be huge if i changed gear around.
I am grateful for input and sorry if I am being stubborn

Edit:
If Tsurumaru is the way I have to go, I would still want to keep Yoichi for bow so how would that effect TP set? I see a Ionis set but how does the set change if in non-SoA area. Just wanted to mention that.

Its around 5% worse but it varies depending on rolls. Tsurumaru gains a more significant lead when you can 3 hit (i.e. cor present). Its not only in SoA zones, Tsurumaru should still be winning by a small amount outside of Ionis.

Cibitshavore R15 path C is best bow by far, hardly any call to use Namas Arrow now. Only real situations where you use Yoichi are Kamihr Drifts and Ceizak delves.

If you are determined to keep Yoichi on and sacrifice 12 str and 7 store tp so you can retain access to a weaponskill that has been relegated to piercing bonus only, then there's not much point in asking for set advice.

Well I know Namas > Namas was doing amazing damage and SC damage in skimmish3(yeah i know it's meh but was nice) 9k+ with 18k SC I dont have any idea if Apex can do that, I dont think it can but might be wrong. Namas is main reason I want to keep Yoichi.
I dont know man, not trying to be an *** or an idiot but hard to justify loss of namas, guess I am just missing something.

Far as COR rolls I assume(also could be wrong) you mean sam roll which never get if/when event has a cor, usually it is chaos and fighters/hunters.

Really not trying to fight against the current just trying to grasp the real benefit and loss of 2 relics over delve gear, just makes me sad and confused I guess.

If you will indulge me one last time, if I was to submit and do Tsu+Cib assuming no SAM Roll what sets would be SoA and non-SoA?

SoA:
ItemSet 311460
I dont have duplus and trux right now, so what would replace them?

non-SoA:
???

Far as the items listed above no Bloodrain if that matters at all.

Again I am grateful for the info and not trying to be difficult, want to understand. Forgive my ignorance.
