Anyway, gear question...
I'm trying to get out of darklight cowl and get into vanya body + some hat. I've seen a lot of WHMs wear rose gold circlet, but I'm not certain why. Here's the HQ stats of each.
So VIT and MND are the same
Rose gold has 11 DET and 9 Crit
Vanya has 11 PIE and 11 Crit
So now it's down to melds. Vanya will take 11 DET afaik, matching the rose gold, then another 15 SS. If we do 2 QTIII, we'll put it at 12.
Melding Circlet, you can do PIE7 and Splspd12
So post meld,
Vanya will have VIT12, MND12, PIE11, Crit11, DTM11, Splspd12
Circlet will have VIT12, MND12, PIE7, Crit9, DTM11, Splspd 12
What am I missing here, why are WHMs getting the circlet over the vanya hat? Is there some better meld combo I'm not seeing (TIV withstanding r/t insane prices)?
As far as gear progression, once I get these two peices finished, I'll probably go cleric legs before body. Went +1 Thyrus first obv. It seems to work out better that way, especially considering the legs are BIS and the cleric chest vs allagan chest probably goes to allagan unless you're stacking a SS build.
