Ochiudo's Kote... worth it?

[Rekiem]

I played around with Ochiudo Kote in my last PT's and the damage difference is somewhat noticable.. mostly in the 34-40 part. It really makes you hit harder. But Once I hit 38, I grabbed a Survival Belt for +5 Evasion and stopped using the Kote and changed them for my good old Federation Kote for +3 Acc. Imo, its more effective. Being able to hit is much more important than hitting harder and evading is even more important.

Long story short: Berserk + meatkabob + Ochiudo Kote is really fantastic but being able to hit all the time and only cast Utusemi Ni once during the fight because your evasion kickass is priceless.

Kotes are good for farming, with mostly atk/str/dex gear and a mithkabob I tear through easy prey level range monsters I farm.
Kill speed means everything when you farm.

Multiple criticals in a row are not uncommon, I make about 5-10k more an hour than what I normally make using more evasion oriented gear. I also get more consistent 600-800 damage blade:jin ws'es with a more offense oriented gear setup.
