Post subject:  Metsu WS set question for Kikoku owners
Just picked up Kikoku. Metsu apparently has an 80% DEX mod. At what point would we put DEX over STR and ATK? I have a basic set that I used for Jin and it seems to perform well, but I'd like to make some modifications if it means pushing Metsu damage up a bit higher.

Hey Apeture, just a heads up.

Blade: Metsu is actually a 60% Dex modifier in era, because Seeker of Adoulin buffed it to 80%, now if Nasomi has the Seeker of Adoulin flagged turned on or not is one thing but you should operate under the assumption it is a 60% DEX modifer.

Here is the source code of an open source FFXI code base to show that: https://github.com/DarkstarProject/dark ... _metsu.lua

Code:
params.str_wsc = 0.0 params.dex_wsc = 0.6 params.vit_wsc = 0.0 params.agi_wsc = 0.0 params.int_wsc = 0.0 params.mnd_wsc = 0.0 params.chr_wsc = 0.0
    params.crit100 = 0.0 params.crit200 = 0.0 params.crit300 = 0.0
    params.canCrit = false
    params.acc100 = 0.0 params.acc200 = 0.0 params.acc300 = 0.0
    params.atk100 = 1; params.atk200 = 1; params.atk300 = 1;

    if USE_ADOULIN_WEAPON_SKILL_CHANGES then
        params.ftp100 = 5 params.ftp200 = 5 params.ftp300 = 5
        params.dex_wsc = 0.8
    end


That said. Because Blade: Metsu is a one hit weapon skill, the Dex Modifer effects 100% of the weapon skill and will probably out weigh attack. People are building Attack & Accuracy weapon skill sets because everyone is using multihit weapon skills, which means the attack effects 100% of the weapon skill, unlike the modifier which only effects the first hit.

So for example, on Penta Thrust, which is a 5 Hit weapon skill, the modifer only effects 20% of the weapon skill hits (or 1/5), albeit the first hit should do more damage than the rest of the hits.

So if its a 1 Hit WS, you are probably better off doing the Modifier, especially if its high, and if its a multihit weaponskill, my understanding so far, Accuracy and Attack are going to be better until you hit Accuracy cap, then attack will be best.

I dunno what % it is, but I know that you should put DEX in every imaginable spot possible for Metsu.

Also, you only made this post to brag and I'm okay with it.

Gz

What about opening and closing darkness if your tp is ready at the same time as someone elses?

Metsu is darkness...... so......


Ah sorry, I was using this thread to just ask about Jin/Ku without having to start a new one. I do not have relic/metsu. Sorry should have clarified before.
