according to SSubZero, the Chakra effect is not enhanced on the Monk AF+1...which leads me to believe that the Myochin Kabuto+1's Meditate effect is not enhanced...just my thoughts.
ah ha! the mnd boost makes total sense now! thx to GenericSpace...demons are dark element...and tachi:koki is light...so the mnd boost is really for tachi:koki which is ideal for fighting demons, which is what Myochin Kabuto is about, seeing how the quest involved demons, and the "Warding Circle" enhancement. (but tachi: koki still weak even with mnd gear imo)
i don't know if it does because i have the same question: is the meditate effect greater? if not...that sucks, but at least the STR+ is decent...oh and btw, maybe im just dumb but what the heck do sams need MND for?
Just as MNK's Chi Blast is primarily modded with mnd, as it SAM's Tachi: Koki. Wether that is the only purpose for mnd on a SAM or not, I don't know, don't really care. I would like to point out that SAM needs all the help it can get staying alive so resistance to Paralyze, (not losing turns which translates into TP loss), as well as other DoT's, Silence, (in which case you're most likely soloing something nasty and using /nin and might not neccessarily have the desire to burn up the meds removing Silence), and other unpleasant status effects. In my opinion, there are greater needs that should be focused on with SAM aside from how much mnd is equipped, I merely wanted to post a reply about it.
