Dual Wield I haste?

[Navia]

Fixed the errors mentioned in my earlier post, the numbers seem to come out a bit more realistic now. added some more stuff :sweat:

333 delay total / 1.16 = 2.87seconds
333 delay * .84 = 2.79 seconds
Either way the numbers when using low delay weapons like that are pretty close. There would be a 1 round attack difference at best per minute if you are counting the number of attacks over time.
Really fast hits are good for enmity and tp building, but straight up melee damage isn't going to see a huge jump unless you are a rdm/nin with enspell to capitalize on the large damage per hit added onto the weapon, regardless of its base damage.

Bronx,

Please check out this thread: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/sho...i&pagenumber=2

ApplePie did some extensive testing, and found Sarashi to only reduce delay 1%. Now the belt may offer increased Acc or Damage but there is no data on that. I find it hard to believe a lvl 30 belt that Enhances Dual Wield would give a mere 1% delay reduction.

Here is another link with Bigokk's parser data: http://vnboards.ign.com/The_Warrior/b22545/72874377/?2

He shows an increase in damage when wearing it vs. the Master Belt. Parser data can be misleading but he seems to have sampled enough fights to make the case for Sarashi increasing DOT. How it does it is the question.

Apple Pie has proven to me it does not reduce delay more than 1%. Therefore it must increase Damage.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like i'm going to stick with the Life Belt. Attack faster and miss, or slower and be more accurate...hmmm? 7.7

As for the Sarashi, i'm gonna sell it back and start looking into the Corsair's knife. I hear the Hornetneedle is a great offhand for it.

I believe the correct way to calculate DW "haste" is to multiply, not divide.

For example, with DW2:

[delay1 + delay2]*0.85

gives you a different result than:

[delay1 + delay2]/1.15

The first answer is the correct one, as I understand it.
