Talk:Blitz Ringedit this page
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
This Ring is alright if your capped in ACC and ATTK. other then that its useless. I see people using it on DRK zerg i just shake my head. if you tink about it for every 100 swings you will swing 1 more time making it 101. in a DRK zerg you don't even swing 100 times with a kclub so you will never see gains from this ring. even if you did swing 1 extra time thats about 200~ damage 200 drain = 400 damage total extra on your zerg assuming your using a kclub that is. would be more damage with a scythe or great sword. now say you were to throw in a HP+ ring instead of this ring. say 50HP the bloodbead ring. that means with enhanced souleater effect 12% you hit for a extra 7~ damage 7~ drain = 14 damage total for every swing you do. you do about 40-70 swings with a kclub in 30 seconds. even 40x14 = 560 damage which is better then a blitz ring at the low range of swings.
And remember without a kclub your never gonna swing anywhere close to 20 swings in 30 seconds to even see that extra hit in there blitz gives with the 1% haste so even then the +HP ring is better.
Stop wearing this ring for Zerging you crazy DRK's. only for TP build doing normal attacks. and thats if your Capped ACC and attack on a mob otherwise a ACC + ATTK ring is much better.
The talk here is very inaccurate. 101 swings with 1% haste is only accurate at and only at exactly 1% haste. Compare 50% to 66% haste, for instance, and you'll find that 50% doubles the amount of swings while 66% triples it, effectively having the same net gain with just 16%. Simply put, it's exponential, so more the more haste the better the result. It matters the most in zerg situations because Haste and Soul Voiced Marches alone amount to around 55% haste, which with enough haste in gear makes 1% more significant than other options. HP, for instance, loses effectiveness with higher HP. And, of course, with a Bard rotation the DRK would also have SV'd ACC and ATT songs. The difference isn't substantial, but with the right gear the 1% haste is the best option. --Finbar 06:44, 18 December 2009 (EST)
