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

ItemSet 356288

Another set I use, feel like it's as strong as the Max Tier.

Yeah, I have that same exact set saved as something I plan to add.

Yep, that's what I use also. Only difference is I use Doji and Valor feet with a DM augment.

i take it this is with sam roll? if you're basing it off of Ejiin's set, his are all under the assumption that he's using SAM roll.

Ya edited set to reflect

i currently have both tachi shoha and stardiver with 2 merit points each cause i have resolution and upheaval 5/5 each and one for last stand for ranger

would tachi shoha still do good at 1 point so stardiver can be 3 points or wouldnt see a diff from 2 to 3 points ?? i am 3 helms from my first aeonic weapon which is great katana so soon i can stardiver 4/5 or 3/5 and unlock shijin spiral

They really need to open up WS merit categories. I'd personally take merits out of Upheaval since you want Chango to be a true GA WAR.

no way .......... upheaval is alot better than ukko's fury and i need those points there cause i only have an ukon

Just leave Shoha at 1, it's not your go-to WS anyways. Then when you finish your Doji and make a Chango, you can remove those merits and spread them out as you see fit.

i dont know when the group i am doing aeonics with is gonna resume ...........something about the leader having work issues

Relic hands worth reforging to +3?
Anyone know how many more ticks of meditate?

it's just like 1~2 more depending on your timing, I believe

definitely not a priority, imo

Between NQ Ken., NQ Abj legs and Wakido+2 (for now), what should I TP in? Does this change when Wakido are +3?

Depends on your situation/rest of your gear, I believe.

NQ Ryuo if you're doing the zanhasso thing and don't need accuracy
NQ Ken if you've got SAM roll and got a set similar to ejiin's recommendations (also meva)
wakido if you need accuracy from set bonus but can afford to sacrifice that extra sTP from ryuo

if anyone can confirm, that'd be cool

with SAM ROll

No Sam Roll

ItemSet 350216

Hope this gives you a little help

What if you don't have feet HQ at the moment either? Just use NQ in place or use Ken feet also?

I tried to beat down Kei with SAM the other day also and my acc was terrible. I didn't really have the buffs I should have (no BRD) but my WS set and PDT sets are very low acc (like 1100 with Sushi). Do I need 1400 acc in WS set for Kei or less because of the innate extra accuracy 1 hit WS get?

At that point, you should be gearing for higher accuracy across the board. Flamma head/feet make for excellent replacements with accuracy even if they're not the best for fudo. Hizamaru Hizayoroi +2 is also a good alternative (and better than wakido+2 in terms of wsd) if you're not making use of the +15 acc from using other AF/regal ring.

In terms of TP, the SAM roll set posted at the top of this page is better provided you have the buff. If not, you could make a decent acc sTP set using wakido body/hands/legs and a dex/sTP cape. I'll make an item set in a bit. Need to switch to my laptop.

Also, a more direct response to your question: Ken feet would be better than ryuo in this scenario. Remember, ryuo/zanhasso is under the expectation that you're at max hit rate.

I think you should just have a bard next time :p

Double post, but on the samurai community guide:
Whoever's adding in sets randomly without discussion as "dream sets" with 3/5 DM augment valorous and replacing my current sets with other gear/renaming them -- please stop.

Any sets included are using information gathered from the community and with their feedback, not what the editor feels is the best. The point of the guide is to provide feasible goals for the reader to aim for and-subsequently-achieve. DM Augments are NOT that.

I look forward to people's contributions, but they have to be discussed to provide reasoning and context within the guide.

If you want to discuss these issues, feel free to pass by my PMs, by the bg-wiki discord, my personal dm's on discord, or my user talk on bg-wiki (modoru).

This message may or may not be directed at a particular person, but applies to everyone who's interested in helping.

Thanks.

Could you fix the 2k gift listing 25% skillchain damage.

...I don't have access to the first post, sorry

I don't think anyone edited the first post

Last edit was 4 months ago. I've given a few people access over the years, it might be someone's set that was probably used long ago and they forgot it was on the page.

he was talking about the BG sam guide, it seems.

Oops, yeah - sorry for the confusion. I've been passively working on the bg samurai guide, which is what I was referring to. My b.

Looking for best possible to set for Masa.

Ejiin’s sets.

Might want to rename that Max Tier set. It lacks accuracy to do endgame stuff. I would call it higher mid tier

Max tier is a zanhasso zerg set that isn't geared to meet any accuracy checks. I'm writing/adding the accuracy oriented TP sets as a follow-up category.

it's almost like i wrote this last page

Does anyone know what the actual angle range is for Overwhelm? I can't seem to find any testing of it anywhere.

That's a great question, could be wrong but possibly its as narrow as the conal field of Sonic Thrust?
