only has a 480 delay as well.

I want to assume if you can't with GK then which polearm actually has 497~ that a Samurai can use. Even the Engetsuto has 480 with Store TP+1.

I really wanted that Tomoe and was looking into methods to obtain one... what a shame :|

The highest delay a SAM can get on Polearm is 480 also, sadly. I think SE did that on purpose to prevent possible 4-hit zergs.

DRG gets a few Polearms over 500 delay but lol, that shouldn't even be considered because DRG can't get close to 4-hit either way. Would need a 611 delay weapon or higher to achieve 4-hit with capped sTP on a job other than SAM.

So in short closing, anyone who even remotely says they ever had a 4-hit should go suck a

Lolz.

funny thing is, with MAX sTP on SAM, using that GK, you're 1 sTP away from getting a THREE hit build. It's like SE was even planning that.

rofl.

Samurai is one of the more finicky jobs with low variance in gear. Pretty much the way I've always looked at it was maintaining a 5-Hit with as much haste as possible. I don't get the chance to play SAM much anymore since i get dragged WHM and soon SCH to everything.

I sold my Haubergeon+1 to buy my fiance a manteel for her bard Q_Q

Just attach yourself to someone who's trying to get Aurum Sabatons and the Tomoe should drop eventually. The fight is kind of a *** though, you'll need a decent group of people.

You can duo/trio Armed Gears if you're skilled. Generally though, I take along like 10 for fast kills because you're "generally" going to be popping several in a row.

Well... You can kill it in 2 hrs as a duo... Or you can bring 10 and pop 6+ in the same amount of time.

Yeah my point exactly. Bringing more people often means about the same amount of time... unless only a couple pop or everyone does. I remember doign like BB solo it'd take me about 30-40 and alot of that was the pull. Bringing my ls... yeah a couple of hours lol.

*Shrugs.* The most I've ever popped in a row was 5 and we had 14 there to kill / get drops (most of which had blm/sch/rdm). Needless to say, it died very quickly.

Lol yeah there is that. Though some of my znm shells have been rather n00by. You know its bad when a big shell has me planning things and taking charge against my choice within a day or 2 of me getting there even though they been doing stuff for a few months /sigh
