Nashira Crackows vs Goliard Clogs

[yoshizz]

Hi,

I got Nashira Crackows last nite, making new macros for it. Wasn't sure which one works better for certain situation. I assume for tiamat and kirin type of mobs, I should use Nashira? As for Drain/ aspir, which one works better?

Well, if you have a Sorcerer's Petasos, you should have enough elemental magic skill for most mobs in the game. Goliard Clogs for XP, Kings & Goliard Clogs for Tiamat, Cerb, Khimera. This is assuming you don't have the sea cape. If you have the sea cape, you might want to try Clogs instead of Crackows since your close to cap on Tia/Cerb/Khi.

I'm sure someone will post the cap on elemental magic skill. It all depends on what your fighting.

i supposed he meant Nashira Crackows for Tiamat, Cerb, and Khimera.
Right Vagus? *winks*

As for Drain/Aspir, use crackows. Both give the same Magic Accuracy, but Crackows give haste (1%... But still, lol). As far as I know, Dark Magic Skill is the only thing that effects Drain/Aspir.

Only decent use for Nashira Crackows is Drain/Aspir/Stun, that is if you don't have Igqira Huaraches. I honestly wouldn't bother carrying them either way. Goliard is the best option for HNMs, and Yigit for regular level crap. Stacking super amounts of elemental magic skill is so 2006.

320 is hard to get. But i'm not sure on the resist rate on higher tier HNM. xP

uses are limited, imo, but i wouldn't say that they have no uses. DL for example, still resists me sometimes with af2 hat, full ele merits, etc. resists are painful when nuking as even the smallest resist yields a 50% reduction in the efficacy of the spell. still, a well geared blm should have no difficulty landing spells on most other targets.

Around 320, then stack INT.

When you start getting drawn in by kimmy, you'll know you're doing something right as far as resists go

tell one of your BRDs to /BLM.

I'm not suggesting that you have sufficient accuracy without the feet slot to nuke anything. I'm suggesting that Goliard Clogs will increase your accuracy+damage more than Nashira Crackows will. And on low level mobs, where you don't need more accuracy gear at all, Yigit wins on overall damage. Hence, Nashira Crackows are useless for nuking.

Around 330, then stack INT.

Fixed..
As for Nashira feet, they are still decent to use for nuking HNM imo.
For Tiamat/Ouryu I like using AF2 hat/ele torque/af1+1 gloves/Merciful Cape/Nashira Crackows for skill+ and for INT I'll use Mahatma Slops/Mahatma Hpl/Tamas Ring/Snow Ring, it works pretty well on high resist mobs with around +40 INT and 334ish skill I believe.

When you start getting drawn in by kimmy, you'll know your tank is failing on a mob that takes halved magic dmg.
