Apocalypse Nigh BCNM Speculation

[aers]

It's conquest week.

been 2 days since i cleared bahamut still cant flag it.

[Nachtigal]

JP Midnight in 1 hour. I hope you guys that beat it set your alarms and get up and try to get your earrings @_@

[Suci]

Wondering which one i should get. The one with magic burst or the one with conserve mp.....

[mdn]

if the magic burst one gives the same bonus that blm af2 hands give, it would be the third best blm earring in the game (behind moldavite and novio)

[Kurp]

What's Conserve MP +5 actually do? Compared to the original trait, how much does it add? I guess the only comparison is the BLM AF2 feet, I don't know anything else that adds conserve MP.

When people ask I just say it owns cause it does.

[Blackdreamr]

BLM/SMN JSE body also adds Conserve MP

[Stanislav]

Our LS members just got earrings after JP midnight.

[Suci]

sweet grats .

Conserve mp when kicking in on say tga3 itll only take like 100 or less mp.

[aurik]

Yes, but what does +5 do? Increased potency? Increased frequency? Both?

[Raineer]

Yes, but what does +5 do? Increased potency? Increased frequency? Both?

this was tested insanely with the +15 conserve mp avatar ring (levi i think?)

It's increased activation. It was something like.... conserve mp is -7% average MP saved overall, and do to increased procs it was +15% to that 7%

so... 7 x 1.15 = 8.05% saved due to that ring

I would NOT get the conserve mp earring, but yeah to each his own

[Dezzimal]

I read about some tests on this, and the conclusion (Using Weskit + AF2 Boots) was that conserve mp made little to no difference in test results. Maybe it was just that +7 isn't enough to make a difference.

I'll probably get the magic burst earring. Will go nicely with my AF2 gloves. Then I'll need to decide to do with my abyssal *sob* earring.

Wow...overrated lol.
Have a link to the original study by chance? Or know where I can go digging for it?

[Angrydog]

i got my earring a sec ago, after waiting till jp midnight -> cs in norg with gilgamesh -> get your earring

[Posterboy]

Choose one out of 4 I take it?

[lagadu]

I remember reading some tests a long time ago that stated (using mainly the lv50 jse, the duende cotehardie) that increasing conserve mp didn't increase it's activation rate, but it lowered the average mp consumption when it kicked in. Can't say i've tested it myself tho /shrug

My question is, whoever gets the static earring: Is it better or worse than moldavite? (on magic bursting obviously)

[divisortheory]

I still can't decide which earring to get. In my opinion the order of awesomeness for their respective jobs goes

Ethereal > Static > Magnetic > Hollow

I'm not getting Ethereal because I don't have PLD levelled nor do I ever plan to seriously play it, even if I do someday take it to 75. I'm not getting Hollow because it only seems good for RDM, and aside from the sword enchantment spell damage is very meh. So I guess it comes down to Static or Magnetic. I'm not sure if I'll ever take WHM to 75, but I'm definitely taking BLM to 75. The Static seems the coolest just because that bonus doesn't come from anything else except one leg piece. But the Magnetic, while no individual stat provides a major boost, combined provides a lot of small bosts so you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. MP, Conserve MP, Spell Interruption, and hMP all in one slot.

[Lordender]

all i'm gonna say is lol if your a blm that didn't get static earring.

jpblm (do you need it?)

[Delekii]

Provided the magic burst earring adds atleast more damage than you get from +2int, I think most BLMs will go for it. Hopefully its like supanomimi, and similar power to AF2 hands ^^ it would somewhat lower the pain of choosing Abyssal which is really no better than a phantom +1

Not to mention the fact that its also a free communion earring with an added +2Mdef which is extremely nice for WHMs and RDMs on Wyrms and other things.

[Banigaru]

I just got static, trying to get a party to test this shit since the rest of my LS is still trying to beat the BC
