    if you tank hnm get ethereal. No other earring even comes close to comparing with it. All depends on what job you find yourself on and what kind of stuff you fight.

    I have BLM/SMN/BRD/PLD leveled, and I don't really use PLD much, and I picked Ethereal and wouldn't have taken it any other way.


    Moldavite is irreplacable for blm imo.

    Ethereal is an easy choice. You give up very little. 5-10hp loss in exchange for the damage -> mp conversion. I would think that the usefulness of the ethereal earring outweighs the usefulness of the magnetic.

    In the crudest terms possible (and making some assumptions), if you spend all the mp recovered through the damage conversion on healing yourself, your PLD essentially takes ~10% less damage over time.

    Etherial is the closest thing to a Suppanomimi II

    When I saw the "Antivenom earring" I pretty much cried inside as it killed most of my reasons for picking Magnetic over Etherial

    I'm not even a PLD, but if I was a PLD: I'd regret not picking etherial, much in the same manor as people who picked other earrings over suppanomimi regret it

    PLD without etheral is gimp nowadays >>;
    everytime a PLD in my LS tanks that doesn't have this earring, it gets me upset it really limits them compared to a PLD with this earring

    conserve MP+1 is the dumbest reason to pick Magnetic, since you can already have a Boroka Earring + Relaxing.


    I still have not done this BC, dont really care for these earrings. If anything i'll go for Magnetic for my mages, or Ethereal for my thief/beastmaster.

    Pick Etheral, simply because you have PLD to 75.

    While Magnetic definitely is useful, best of its class, there are earrings out there that are slightly comparable. Nothing can match the utility you'd get out of Etheral.

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    Can insert the word "Suppanomimi" in place of "Ethereal" for the answer to Divine Might too.

    I didnt say that but I dont mind taking the credit ^_^, because I agree.

    It's like haste, who the fuck notices 3% haste? hardly anyone, but 3% here, 5% there, 4% there, etc etc and then you notice it.

    Yes, because the few times you do use Paladin, it will be way more useful than any of the other three earrings.
