What do you think for mithra?
I'm debating selling my Mezraq and getting a Thalassocrat but haven't decided yet. It Dps-es higher, but I think the STR would be better for mithra.

Keep what you have, we're weak on strength. that's my opinion, this coming from a sam with high dex and butt loads of str ^_-

At 75 neither DEX +2 nor STR +2 is a dealbreaker.
That said, Penta Thrust is 20% DEX + 20% STR, all later polearm WSs have no DEX modifier, and the STR modifiers are all 50% or less.

The STR+2 probably makes up for the loss of DMG+1 between the two. I haven't put the figures through the damage calculator yet but garanteed the difference will be small it's not worth stressing over.
My Mezraq is signed so I'll never sell it, I do plan on getting a Thalassocrat crafted when I can get the money togather for the materials.

Okay pissing around on the damage calculator. My setup for TP is
STR:91
Attack:427
WS setup:
STR:96
DEX:82
Attack:431
With Mezraq on Lv82 Colibri (VIT:50 DEFL280):
Standard hits: 112-175
Critical hits: 237-300
Penta Thrust: 705-1087
With Thalassocrat:
Standard hits: 112-175
Critical hits: 237-300
Penta Thrust: 703-1084
I had to estimate the Attack drop from loss of STR (dropped by 1) but looks like the STR makes up for damage difference and STR+2 > DEX+2 for Penta Thrust.
Can take it with a grain of salt, I'm not sure exactly how accurate the damage calculator is but it's definately not worth selling your Mezraq in a hurray. If anything the only point of getting the Thalassocrat is 'cause it looks sexy
