"A Moogle Kupo d'Etat" Advance Order Details! Official Site Goes Live! (06/29/2009)

[Mayareira]

Sorta torn between a Walmart Turban +1 TP piece(really, if you are going to use this as a TP piece, you basically have to stack that 3 and 2 Hastes) that I can use on my PLD and DRK, or the other options like augmenting it towards a WS or an Idle piece..Heck, can even go with the Salade for my RNG.

A little harder to pick this time around.

[byte]

My immediate reaction is this will be a WS piece for melees. +15 WS accuracy and 4 STR in one augment is just ridiculous. +3% Haste just doesn't seem to cut it to make a good TP piece.. but with +10acc and +5atk? who knows.

[Uubu]

already have gnabods and maats cap so probably going to get Haste +5% str 2 (hp+15 counter3 and defense! for war and pld
For shield skill you have M head.

Yup it's exactly this that has me wondering too. xD Normally haste+3% wouldnt cut it, but with all that added accuracy? ... O.o"

BLU choices

STR 4 Acc 10 vs Mirage Keffiyeh ?
STR 4 Acc 10 Atk 5 WSAcc 15 for Vorpal Blade ?

4CHR 2MAB for Eyes on Me of course! (No seriously, if I did this for BLU that's what I would probably do since the other options are meh)

But damn choices, nothing seems "outstanding" for my jobs...

+cure for rdm
shield/fastcast for pld/nin ichi
asuran head
EoM head for BLU or using the asuran head for Vorpal aswell. Asuran head would also give a new casting option for physical spells on blu too... damnit I'm just gonna do the asuran head...

[Sev]

Debating back and forth with the choices for a Tachi: Kaiten WS Helm.

STR +4 WS Acc +15 AGI +4 WS Damage +2% (Probably my #1 choice right now -- Biggest question is: Will this beat Gnadbhod's Helm in terms of damage)

or

STR+6 WS Acc +15 Haste +2% (tradeoff 8 atk for 12 acc on WS from Gnadbhod's)

or

STR +4 WS Acc +15 Accuracy +10 Attack +5 (although I think this is a bit overkill on accuracy and severely inferior in terms of damage to pre-existing combos)

Thoughts? =x

We always have the same problem xD

[Starr]

The only use for my jobs I can think of is maybe a WS piece for drk? How does it look in that department?

Can't go wrong with STR+4 Attack+5 Acc+25 on Guillo

[Riki]

With small numbers like this (2), and being the same numbers (2 vs 2), it's kind of hard to find a clear winner.

Edit: Apparently, it's MAB and hHP, not hMP, stupid SE, really?

My BLM is so stacked with MAB on other slots that i'll get me a nice replacement for my DH+1.
INT+6, MP+20, Conserve MP+3, Magic Accuracy +2 and Fast Cast is full win over Demon Helm.
Of course the MAB+2 will win over INT+2, but hHp is just fail on a BLM piece.
If they would have stacked the MAB Augment with hMP it would have been a no brainer for every BLM though. But best (low skill) nuking piece and best hMP on the same hat slot must have been too much awesomeness for SEs gear designers.

[Nameless]

3% haste 10 acc and 5 attack vs ace's 4% haste 7 acc and 4 str 3 attack (two handers).

3 acc and 2 attack vs 1% haste and 4 str. Pretty obvious there.

Comparing to Askar 4% haste 4 str 3 attack 4 dex 3 acc.

7 acc and 2 attack vs 1% haste and 4 str (not going to mention 4 dex here since it doesn't matter). Pretty even.

However, for 1 hand melee that can't use askar or ace's. This is probably golden.

At this point, this still looks like the best multi hit WS head piece there is.

4 STR 15 WS Acc 10 Acc 5 Atk should be the way to go for me, then I'll replace my +Acc gears for +Atk. My Atk during Vorpal Blade will jump from 389 to 430ish without sacrificing any +Acc at all. That's almost a free berserk during WS !

For EoM, I'll just grab a yagudo headgear lol.

I'll only switch if it looks better than the Kaiser.

[FTAJuicymama]

No body is interested in Fast cast +5% chr +2 hat for brd?
to go along with ministrel ring, manteel, log earring, and rostrum?

I am interested =D

[Nerull]

eh... I'll probably still go with INT+4/MAB+2. Beats DH+1 for my ice/lightningday build, and I can use it for SCH too. hMP would've been nice though... I mean seriously, why even put the hHP there? for laughs?

[Gwynplaine]

Whoever has been designing the mage armor over the past year needs to have their crayons taken away. Why do you hate mage aesthetics so much?

[ronin sparthos]

Why does the Anwig Salade have to look like total shit.

Hopefully Shantotto Ascension has Leg pieces with augments, that slot is always one of the weaker ones.

Oh well, I'll see how this expansionette goes before buying... maybe the story will be amusing.

[Necronus]

I'm still debating the offensive BLM possibilities but if thats ruled out, as crazy as it sounds, I *MIGHT* make either the full Cure augment for when I toss cures from BLM or full Fast Cast for non-nukes, especially stun.

[Ahnuld]

Anybody know what the Snapshot is on Zha'Go's Barbut? I have one, but I'm just curious..

Good question.

I think it's cute, at least it will be for tarus

[Not Kuno]

Yup. I cry myself to sleep every night over my weak 25 mp, 10 int, 10 mind and -2 enmity.

I'm just tired of square making shit for mages. If they do legs next, there is 100% guarentee it'll suck compared to even jet.

[S N K]

I would rather they put more Combat Merits in the next patch than be able to get multiple helms, I would even pay £7.99 for an expansion that gave +16 Combat Merits.

This seriously. It sucks having so many 75s but being limited to what you can merit in Combat and Magic Skill.
