When I maths'd it out last(85 cap, but same amount of DW and haste available now):
hits for 0-100TP w/o usukane feet: 14
hits for 0-100TP w/ usukane feet: 12
Which is what, a 15% increase in WS frequency? Every time. With or without hate. With or without parry. With or without a rare AF3+2 proc.
Can't say for 99cap after the tonight because I've not had a look through all the new equipment, but at 95cap, they're the best TP feet.
Byakkos with 4% crit damage and a healthy chunk of STP on them may be better, but I've not got the time/knowledge to do a full statistical breakdown of which is better. However, Byakkos winning would be fairly dependant on a sufficient crit rate to offset potentially more hits before you can Blade: Hi again.
TL;DR:
-Usukane are still (at lv95) the best feet NIN can wear for TP.
-Salv v.2, when it comes, will make them better.
-Anyone who uses Ocelot gloves clearly doesnt know enough about NIN to offer sound equipment advice.
Edit: damn, just realised this was 4 pages, not 1. Jesus christ.
