Lynx Baghnakhs vs Bastokan Knuckles

[laxgod]

I see everyone talk about how you should get Lynx Baghnakhs at lvl 24. I don't see why they are so much better than Bastokan Knuckles. I don't mind switching but is +1 dmg really that much better? How does that equate to attack or str? I understand that the delay is also less, but the extra 2 accuracy and 3 attack from Bastokan Knuckles is nice too.

Go with Bastokian knuckles, the added effects will mean a lot more than the +1 dmg. I've been switching between republic knuckles (similar to bastoks) and tropical punches (+1dmg, +10acc) all the way through 31. Get all the +acc gear you can afford.

BTW, I'm galka.

I think the Lynx Baghnakhs are just an upgrade for the cheap people who are playing through the first time. Bastokan Knuckes or San D Cesti shold be good enough to last you till Impact Knuckles imo.

I had the lynx myself its not worth it imo... you should getting hand to hand weapons that increase arcuracy with small delay time.

Though, do bear in mind, thats +1 damage, per hit.

Monks swing twice an attack, so that effectively increases your damage by +2, rather than just +1.

Partly right. Don't let the delay on a weapon fool you though. I don't know if it's been completely changed since that stupid patch (yes, I know they changed it for Ballista), but I think delay is still used to calculate TP gain for normal attacks. Higher delay = more TP = shorter time between WS.
