RSE (mithra) VS fumas

[hackattck]

mmmk.. so im @ lvl 40 and im wondering..

"what would be better for mithra? +3 STR or the 3% haste?"

what do YOU think is better?

What job are you...

I am a STR freak and I am still using these at 67. +3 STR is a very signifigant boost (thats 3 damage more for minimum damage as well as max damage). I use these over AF boots as well

Use until Kung-Fu (if you can afford them...)

[METDeath]

I mostly use Fuma's for my MNK for the higher defense, 'cause I end up taking too many hits on MNK... besides, I have +17 STR without food at 43 (I just have to make it a point to exp with a BRD when possible, or I have to lose some of that) and that's without my Brown Belt

+3 STR over 3% Haste every day of the week and twice on Sundays. I made the mistake of switching to fumas at level 39 and didn't realize how stupid that was until, at level 52, strapped for +str gear, I was clued in by another mithra monk who wondered why I wasn't using RSE.

As for Fuma Kyahan for the defense...orz it's only 2 more defense than RSE, which means absolutely nothing. Also, AF are not a valid replacement. The goal for a mithra monk is to get as close as possible to an elvaan's STR without going under their dex.
