Putting on Germinas Boots pretty much doubles your bow damage

[Blind]

Bows use the Speed formula and most charactes have middling speed, Germinas boots adds A LOT

[Hinnyuu]

Same with ninja swords. Germinas Boots are pretty awesome.

Ironically, though, Speed is only a very minor factor for... your actual speed.

Yep. That's why Shikari combos based on Genji Glove usage are wildly overrated.

Wowies, my Shikibreaker Vaan put on the Germinas boots, he's outdamaging the Great Tango with his Makara! (Vit mod)

Mathematically daggers should be the STRONGEST weapon, has they have the lowest divisor (218), but that's not the case.

This implies that the Attack-EnemyDefense step is a serious factor in damage. The weaker the weapon's attack power, the more defense hurts it.

Correct. Higher power on weapons is very valuable.

I wish my Monk could get to 99 Str so I can test the Kanya out fairly - that Magepowrer Shisak is really important for Str users

I could not agree more.

It seems like the jump from 98 stat to 99 stat is significant, do stats secretly go above 99 and it's just not stated?

Well if you can exceed 99, easy way to test is adjust equipment so hit 99 on the dot as and compare to what happens when should be over 99.

Not to my knowledge. But stat scaling is weird in places, because it's often non-linear when enemy stats are involved.
