OMFG you just reminded me I could use that Star Necklace for my HP down set on Minstrel's latent! After staring at that pic for like 5 minutes wondering why in the hell you would use an Uggy Pendant for pre-Cure 3 I realized what it was and remembered that I've had that in storage forever, lol.

For string buffs, I use my horde setup + minstrel's coat, not sure which if any it effects since etudes and minnes are used so rarely but I use spellcast anyway so no harm having them equipped midcast.
Any suggestions besides wind earring/relic roundlet? Sandy hates me, I'll buy the earring soon enough though.
Edit: Realized Yigit Gomlek isn't pictured, I precast it in and idle in it on /nin. No manteel ;/
It's not going to have any effect on the potency really, just your normal capped skill will probably cap out the effect, March is the only song I know of that goes continually higher with higher skills. Higher stringed skill will make the range larger though, so it's really nice for Ballad in a mage party or Minne when doing supertanking or kiting etc.
A haste + belt for lullabys in dynamis/meriting/einherjar, obviously with a G-horn it lands easier, but i also use turban on lullaby.
Yeah I kind of just get lazy for Ein pulling and full-time W.Turban/Goliard Body/belt, the I've never seen a resist before so I don't swap out and lose my MP.
My blue mage cannonball setup at the moment.

Looking for improvements to my BLU cannonball setup.
I know Alky Bracelets, STR earring(s), HQ AF1 body.
What's Furions shield?
Wivre+1 I believe.
Okay, guys, I've been absolutely petrified to post here because I'm so self-conscious about my gear.BUT, asking questions is the only way to get better, so... My WAR. It's my first melee so I'm still sort of misguided about it. I do fairly nice damage as is, and I'm pretty confident about my TP gear (as far as knowing what I'm missing) or so I hope, but I really really need some help with my WS gear especially.
WAR Great Axe TP: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=37540
I know that I still need Fortitude Torque and Fire Bomblet, working on getting both of them currently.
WAR Axe TP: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=37534
Again, working on the Bomblet. Not sure if I need to alter anything else, barring HQ Dusk because there's no way I can afford that.
Raging Rush: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=37537
I'm up for the CoP Dynamis belt; it just hasn't dropped for me yet. Also working on Hecatomb Mittens, but my LS does sky very sparingly so it's taking me awhile.
Steel Cyclone: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=37538
STR+2 earring better (when I have more gil)? Also, I have Ares body 35/25, just waiting on more gil to pop the NM for the 15 and upgrade. Anything else?
Rampage (Regular): http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=37542
I use this when I have Aggressor active and the mobs don't have excessive evasion. Am I better off using Byakko's Haidate over Ares? Using the Ares feet temporarily to make up for the -DEX on Alky's until I get Heca Mittens. Working on the gear I mentioned above, etc.
Rampage (Accuracy): http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=37543
Used when I don't have Aggressor up or the mob has high evasion. For some reason FFXIAH keeps inverting my Juggernaut and my Maneater, I don't actually use Juggernaut in main.
I appreciate any help you can give me, guys; thank you! Be nice!![]()
Don't dual wield without at least offhanding joyeuse, preferably ridill.. even then it should only be on mobs with negligible evasion(city dynamis, some limbus). It's just not worth it to axe/axe when greataxe is an option :/
I typically don't use axes for anything if I can avoid it (or even /NIN really, typically /SAM) but I don't like the idea of getting rid of all my Axe/Axe gear. I'm weird about it. Ridill isn't an option for me, and I haven't gotten a Joyeuse because I never intend to put any merits into Sword. (Would Joyeuse still be more feasible than Juggernaut without Sword merits?) Thank you for the input. :D
Don't ever use Smilodon+1
