So about this Mikinaak stuff. At the moment I use the Mekira +1, Phorcys Body/Hands, Bale +2 Legs, and the Karieyh feet for Resolution. My question is when, if at all, does each piece of Mikinaak surpass these pieces (assuming Attack upgrade path)?

Mikinaak legs would be a wash/slight upgrade at rank 0, and it's very easy to get them to rank 2 for +8 atk/+4 acc. Mikinaak feet are best-suited for TP sets; most will recommend going acc path on those. Mikinaak hands/head are also only going to be situational TP pieces. Mikinaak body would probably need to be rank 10+ to be competitive with Phorcys or Karieyh body, and even then (without having plugged it into a spreadsheet) I doubt it's worth the investment.
Wrong, depending on buffs the margin of superiority on a rank 15 miki body over phorcys changes, in most instances where I am using delve fodder as placement mob I have miki body rank 15 winning. When fighting nms there is simply no contest miki > phorcys.
Acc matters now in this content and this is simply why it is coming out as a better option. For resolution any way it is different for 1-2 hit ws.
the current goal for all gsword drks in the new content should be getting acc high enough that you can comfortably use real foods like rcb instead of sole sushi
Recently finished my Minkin body to Rank 10 and it's definitely an upgrade on anything that you'd be overly concerned about with damage. Most people don't realize it, but we tend to WS in less acc then we TP in which in newer content can really give you random WS numbers, especially if your parsing 90%+ acc.
So yeah Boots > Legs > Body. All to rank 5 then work them up.
feet are worth it right away, type b and push it all the way, great place to increase tp build acc
legs need to be rank 2-3 to push out af3+2, but after that they will surpass them easily from total domination on all needed stats. type A ofc
body is going to win on anything where you need the acc obviously, id say at rank 10 youre definately going to match phorcys on "fodder" content, youd need to calc it out to figure out when it will pass phorcys when acc doesnt matter, but you cant gear for fodder and plan to do hq
So I just came back and I'm forced to *** out my COR until I at least get a Bereaver.
I'm looking for a new body to wear, currently sporting Phorcys. I have Ace's mail too and if I can find some way to work in Ogiers hands to 6 hit the stupid delay of Bereaver /WAR I wouldn't mind putting Aces back on.
But if I have to 7 hit and I can hit 26% haste without any on the body, which should I use? Side note, I'm hoping to not hunt down an armada berk this late in the game. Anything Adouliny out there that's worth it in the body slot?
Pak Corselet is pretty much a poor mans armada. Not quite as good but good enough to serve the same purpose.
/SAM will help you more for a few reasons. Primarily is that it keeps you alive, especially during LR sexy time. The +15 store TP helps making a 6-hit build pretty reasonable, you only need ~42 sTP to get a 6-hit with Berever. And currently with the way the monsters Ratio works, Berserk + LR is pretty much a death sentence.
Where was I wrong? Sorry if I worded it poorly, but I guesstimate that at R10+ Mikinaak body probably beats Phorcys in most situations (instead of just some situations at R2). However, I think upgrading legs and feet first are more important in terms of DPS upgrades. Without spreadsheeting it I could definitely be wrong about the inflection point, and certainly if you have the plasm and/or gil to spare, there's no reason not to upgrade it, but it's still a serious investment in an item that may or may not retain its value as more Adoulin content is released. Of course, if you need the upgrade in order to beat the new Adoulin content, then it's worth it.
I wasn't speaking about tp mainly the I don't conform to what is considered a standard set on here any since im using ares+1 and hafrn +9% crit hit feet in tp set up. I was mainly talking about the ws aspect only.
Rank 10 body and above is good enough im using rank 15 body and rnk 15 legs and you clearly notice a difference.

The +1 on the other hand is superior to armada imo, assuming you don't need the STP, which I don't think you will with delve or ragnarok.
I think the two are comparable for Pak Corselet +1 vs Armadaberk. If the STP isn't as important as before, then +1 is better. I would say getting perfect augments on Armadaberk and +1 Pak Corselet will cost about the same in the long run. However, you can always resell a Pak Corselet +1.

Armada is still ahead : more acc and DEX vs 0,01 more hit per round, +6 str (for tp...) And +3 att. Pak +1 is an alternative, a weaker one.
Whenever you don't need the STP you could use Enif or Valkyrie.
So this is what I'm aiming for since it should be easy to throw together having just returned. I just need KIs and two or three more good farming nights.
Simple question... What are the top GS for resolution out of the magian trials line? I have calad for myself but I am looking for something that will help the wife out. I don't really want to do another calad (unless I really need to) and I would do a ragnarok for myself before I would waste one on her. (Fuck I am a dick!)
Also, of you that have played with it.. What do your /ws builds look like?
