Yigit Crackows before and after

[Siatdiat]

Desi, how many times did you fight Maat again? Please, be honest.

[Kaylia]

After reading Nynja and Kuno "feeling" about Af2 I've came to the conclusion this AF will save you 1232mp per 1000 mp used, despite parsing and logical reasoning showing you will save an average of something like 20-25mp.

I will repeat again, yes, Conserve Mp is f'ing nice, but you get it as a job trait, not foot gears. That +5 will change almost nothing to it like it or not.


Those 2 gears are both situational, but it won't change anything if you equip one or the other all the time, because difference is so minor it doesn't even matter.

Except magnetic earring makes conserve MP trigger one job combos that don't have conserve MP which means 1 of 2 things

Good point. Althought, it's possible it is like Double Attack with certain double attack weapon. You can hit once, twice or 3 times if both weapon and ability proc at the same time. Maybe both earring and trait "stack"

Doing more damage is a bad thing cause you'll get killed faster. By that logic, it's stupid to merit thunder potency, and every BLM should merit Elemental seal recast so they can sleep wyrms faster!

I'm agreeing here, it comes down to preference (I'm not a blm so I have no prefernce in this matter)
use what makes you comfortable, the difference between all these feet aren't like the difference of NQ and HQ staves (where one is obviously superior)

[draxyl]

If anything, the af2 feet are definitly the prettiest, followed by yigit crackows, and rostrums last.

[Raineer]

Herald's Gaiters

nuke and kite

this just in! movement speed affects fastcast, discuss

[OctavoGilgamesh]

Nyn sig > all

[Flarega]

Personally I would have liked to see a Yigit turban vs. AF+1 hat topic.

[Toth]

I use my AF2 boots exclusively (Conserve MP is far from a placebo btw - I notice consistently that my MP is higher after several rounds of spells in Manaburns and overall, I save roughly 200 mp every 1k mp) but I would be interested in acquiring the Yigit Crachows because yes, they are the best damage dealing boots for a BLM now. I do not understand why people would deny that. A good BLM balances out his gear depending on situation (ie errant gear + thunder 3 mbing Fafnir for minimal hate and solid damage) rather than nuke with a tier iv to prove your e-penis is bigger than others.

[Flarega]

200 MP every 1k MP aint from AF2 boots.

I'm gonna laugh when SE releases Stone5 and Water5 from merits, and all those blm's who wasted 30 merits on thunder and ice potency just took it in the ass.



And um, if you doubt your gut feeling over anything else, you have some serious self-confidence issues.

I've always had this bad gut feeling that those people who merited Thunder out the ass are fucking themselves in the long run. SE will rationalize it as "give Black Mages incentives to use spells other than Thunder." I think it's a little retarded to go all out on Thunder potency personally, but I guess I just like being well rounded.

[SephYuyX]

You do realize you can 'erase' merits, right?

150k xp per isnt that much to redo, and in the mean time BLMs who merited thunder and bliz will do more dmg.. and honestly.. this is SE were talking about. Do you actually think theyll release tierV within 2 years? We all know the upcomming merits will be bio3 and dia3.

I will still take my dmg over anything else, go nay you naysayers, but I can and have done more dmg and lived longer than -enmity BLM, whether it be jourm or faf or an xp mob. I use River Gaiters, and I <3 them so.

But w/e BLM have their own playstyles.

[Eternus]

lol Water V and you will see new record killtimes on Tiamat probably.

[Jeryhn]

lol Water V and you will see new record killtimes on Tiamat probably.

Which will be due to a grip of Summoner's with Beast's Roll effect on, not a bunch of BLMs who'll get an automatic 50% damage reduction on magic.

[SephYuyX]

Mmm SMN teirVs are in the .dats atm as well.

Are there any smn mobs that use these >.>?

Yeah scratch Tiamat and replace with Nidhogg/Fafnir. Tend to forget that CoP wyrms have that dmg reduction to magic as well. Still will be better damage output. SMN need to be nerfed hard on Wyrms, either that or make more jobs viable as safe DDs.

Avatars don't learn tier 5 magic.
Unless you mean the Prime Bloodpacts, which are used by Prime Avatars.

Why laugh? Why not merit them and have them from the time they were released until they add new spells? You do realize it's been over a year since they added job specific merits right? Feb. 24, 2005 Update

You can easily erase them and re-earn them if / when it happens. Hardcore players will re-earn them rather quickly.

What are you going to use stone V on anyway? Based on spell progression I could imagine fully meritted thunder IV being near equal to the damage that Stone V will put out.

And more than likely cost less MP.
