Haidate give dex and haste, these give str and double attack. You are talking about two diffrent types of setup and play styles, so you can't really say one is "better" then the other.
ive heard that these + the AF boots are +20 or 25% Double Attack. add my capped merits on that and thats some delicious DoT! just havent dropped on last few runs ive been on.
Just a question... has anyone checked to see if "Double Attack +1" from the relic cuisses stacks with the "Double Attack +2%" from either the Soldier's Ring or the Fighter's Calligae? Gaxe is so slow ^^:
All mods stack with eachother, to the best of my knowledge, like redmages +fastcast things, or thieves +TH/steal/gilfinder. Unless this is a special case, the double attack stacks with the likes of fighters calligae etc.
It is cool to note that all of the Relic sets are modeled pretty much the same as the AF sets, but have a different color. I saw WAR Relic (part of it) and it was a light blue that looked kinda unimpressive. These seem to be dark blue/black. Anybody have any Screenshots or links of someone wearing part of or full sets?
I think he has a point though... DA procs have been massively observed with the af feet... but are we even sure that it ONLY increases DA rate? SE is concise enough to make me confident that the differences in wording (DA+1 vs Enhances DA) is intentional, and with reason. I think it's possible that you might hit harder, have an increased crit rate, or have increased attack during double attacks with the af feet. I don't know, but when I use the af boots, I still tend to do more damage than even with amir or dusk.
ok to sum this up "Enhances <enter name here> effect." adds 5% to the abblity "<enter name here> +1" Adds the abbilty (+1% as with all traits gained are) SO, in closing, Double Attack +1 would give you +1% where as like the AF bootz at lvl 52 only give +5%, respectivly.
