X-Hit Builds
For a 6-hit build dual-wielding swords, imitate the following setup;
- Swords: Almace (85) (6tp/hit), Khanda +2 DA+10 (6.7tp/hit) Trial 2343
- Haste Gear: Mavi Kavuk +2, Mavi Tayt +2, Setanta's Ledelsens (or Ocelot Gloves and match 4stp on feet), Goading Belt (or Twilight belt, losing +5stp but gaining 2haste)
- Dual Wield: Suppanomimi, Mirke Wardecors (DW and STP augmentss)
- Store TP: Mirke Wardecors, Cobra Mitts, Almah Torque (or chivalrous chain losing 1stp), Goading Belt, Brutal Earring, Rajas Ring, Hoard Ring, White Tathlum (if possible)
- Double Attack: Aesir Mantle, (optional: Twilight belt), Brutal Earring, (optional: Epona's ring, losing 4stp)
Totals add up to: 17%haste +15% using Animating Wail, 25 STP (23 without tathlum) +10% setting JA, Dual Wield 8% +25% from /nin, 16% Double Atk +10% setting JA. Using Atma in abyssea will push these numbers even further.
- 32% Haste, 35 STP, 33% DW, 26% DA
- STP caps at +51
- Formulas: (STP/100) x [(tp of weapon1)+(tp of weapon2)] = tp gained from stp
- Above Result + (tp of weapon1) + (tp of weapon2) = TP per Attack Round
35/100 x (6 + 6.7) = 4.445 + (6 + 6.7) = 17.1 (rounded down). So 100tp/17.1 = 5.8 or 6 attack rounds for full tp.
Adding Double Attack/Triple Attack you can hit 5 or even 4hits for full tp, but since they aren't 100% and since you also will have some missed attacks, it's safer not to add DA/TA to the math. Conserve TP can also help some and regain will speed things up as well.
Although your weapons base tp/hit and STP are the only factors for x-hit, Haste, Dual Wield, and Double Attack will help you achieve your x-hit quicker.
- Almace(85) delay: 224, Khanda+2 delay: 252, Haste+32%, DualWield+33%, DoubleAtk+26%
- Formulas: [(delay of weapon1+delay of weapon2)/2] x (dual wield/100) = Reduced Delay
- Step2: [(delay of weapon1+delay of weapon2 /2) - Reduced Delay] x (haste/100) = Increased attacks
- Step3: [(delay of weapon1+delay of weapon2 /2) - Reduced Delay] - Increased attacks = total delay
- Caps: Haste equipment cap is 25%, Magical Haste cap is 43%, and JA haste cap is 25%, Total haste cap is 80%, Total magic recast reduction is 50%
- dual wielded weapons share an average delay
[(224 + 252)/2] x (33/100) = 78.5; (238 - 78.5) x (32/100) = 51.04; 159.5 - 51.04 = 108.4 Delay
So according to this formula and setup, you'd attack every 1.1 seconds. So my math is most likely wrong, maybe missing a dual wield penalty. If anyone knows what it is please let me know ^^
