That's a beastly set, but on excal that's gonna run a goddamn huge bill if you bought all the materia

SS IV is 80k+ now, not worth it when in a month it will all be obsolete. Though good to keep in mind for future crafted sets I guess, though personally I like seeing big numbers on my booms.
@Serenseven
Thanks for this, Im gonna try to sit on my cast a little more and wait on RS. I gotta start using A-Manipulation too.
Makes me think that come 2.4 (if crafted i110 is a thing) you won't need any 3rd coil gear at all besides weapon. Perhaps that's the main reason they don't seem to be introducing Tier 5 materia any time soon.
To be honest, the only reason its so viable now is because of how poor some of the current pieces plus the lack of variety at i110 currently. It would have been made better if there was i110 ST gear (upgradable with sands for some more variety), but the big kicker is having so much crit on some of the jewelry pieces. Some more Jewellery pieces would help - at least we had more Ex primal at i90 - the only other i110 jewellery will be the rings from Ramuh in 2.38, and possibly something from Shiva in 2.4 but that will be too late. Theres no spellspeed option in a number of slots; the Bracelets, the earrings and only one ring. On top of that, for raw damage, the best combination is having a spellspeed/crit item (like the Neckpiece) - but there is only three of those, two of which are T9 drops. Furthermore, there are no Spellspeed accuracy items (there two acc/ss items though - Ring and Neck).
If they brought in T5 materia and i110 crafted, they are still going to be very expensive, and i'd imagine you would get them from spiritbinding i90 crafted.
tl;dr
Lack of variety in gear especially leads to crafted use for BLM due to how well they scale off all 3 stats.
Now my question is, if those stats and weights are accurate, why is it not spitting that that same set back out when I run the BiS solver when leaving all those melds as-is?
I assume it's a problem on Ariyala's side, since your math seems accurate enough.
Your equipment level ranges are too large, then.
Random question, what have people found to be the optimal way for BLM to deal with heavensfall phase while being the LB-user?
I've been doing swiftcast thunder3 on the drop > raging strikes > fire3 > pop x-pot while getting knocked back by heavensfall > fire1 + firestarter spam until out of MP > transpose > LB. Depending on how many FS/TC procs I get and when, I'll usually be out of MP to cast more Fire1s right before/as the ghost comes up, which is why I transpose instead of Bliz3. I don't actually touch the ghost at all directly, only the LB. LB is usually casting before the ghost is actually in position.
thunder>fire 3 >RS > fire >pot> fire fire fire >flare >Convert >fire >flare >transpose LB
most of time with this im able to hit nael+ add with flare which really nice dps increase
Has anyone made a new BiS list? Trying to figure out how to spend my poetics.
Does the element of a spell ever matter? Or are all monsters neutral to every element?
Doesn't matter ever.
Hmm I request some opinions...
I am a i110 BLM. Should I use my poetics for the sexy i120 pants or instead buy the i120 gloves and 120 bracelet to add roughly 40 more accuracy to my build (boosts my Novum build to 475 or if I ever win a lot on high allagan head, then 500 base with Novus). The pants only add 15 or so more accuracy.
What's your current accuracy? T9 acc cap is 470, and numbers being thrown around is that T13 is somewhere around 500ish ballpark.
445 with high allegan boots and Novus, 480ish with Levy i110. I can break 500 if I ever win the high allagan head lot but that would drop to 460 if I use Novus.
