There is no ring with MACC on it. If I were an HNM RDM, I'd get an Omega Ring for a strong balance between MACC and MND/INT for debuffs. If you're not doing HNMs, you probably don't need accuracy anyway - in that case, I'd agree with you, but for an HNM RDM, I think an Omega Ring is a pretty good idea for debuffs.

Really? >_> I'd consider myself an end game RDM, and on the above listed spells, if i'm going for a "guaranteed landing", I just pack on full M.Acc and leave my Snow/Aquas on. I assume if 345 Enfeebling Magic + HQ staff + 6~9 M.Acc (Nashira Seraweels, Nashira Gages til the damn 25 Bodb's Cuffs drop) and a chunk of between 20~30MND can't land it, does anyone think -2 INT/MND +3 M.Acc is going to make any difference?

Generally speaking I try to land a MND heavy Tier II Slow/Paralyze first, and if it fails, I slap on a Tier 1 full blown Skill/M.Acc, then attempt to overwrite it with a stronger Tier II (in situations where I can afford to, shit is situational, etc)

RNG WS

That's a Buccaneer's Belt, not precise.
Only got lv15 Skadi legs and 16k/20k Pahluwan legs, rng is still a rather new job... Hate dusk -.-
Also want Novia Earring and got Scout's beret/Jerkin for some more -Enm.
My 4 +Enm merits dont exactly help my rng in any way

PLD MDB (lol)
http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/2674/pldmdbem2.jpg


List for need items is abit longer on PLD, as far as I'm concerned...
Aegis, D.ring, Homam hands/Askar hands, Ares' body, Shadow ring/mantle, M.legs (for 5/5), Relic legs etc. etc.
As for the MDB build, well, we got 2 aegis pld in LS so I'm not tanking JoL or Baha2 anyway, so who cares? Not I ^^
Just came back from a rather long vacation, so dont have much AN yet, but then again...

Oh yeah, got Blood Cuisses, just realized not pictured. And I got a beaver tail somewhere, haven't used in a year or so though...
10k/15k from Ritter Gorget and got Fort Torque for a Vit build I never use


Got War and Nin aswell, missing N.feet *still* for war and some HQ's.
For ninja I just need Hope Torque (for rng purposes aswell) and a better offhand katana (Mamushito+1 -.-).
Well, haven't done much salvage either, so I'm missing usukane aswell ofcourse...


Anything obvious I've missed in the need department?

@Reko

I would sell the Kyudogi and get a Eurytos' Bow unless the Kyudogi is signed for you etc, I'd definitely TP in Osode; I wouldn't give up 10str for 2racc/2ratk difference, can easily make up that in another slot without a deficit of 10str.

Also, I would expect CFGs to produce better results on WS than Seiryu Kote; AGI is a really poor modifier but increasing ranged attack on RNG can really produce beautiful results. Then again, the comparison does depend on how well buffed you are.

EDIT: Oh, and if you're not meleeing for TP I would definitely invest in some Dusk Trousers and/or Pahluwan (Legs). Both are very nice pieces for RNG, AF2 legs also an option.

[Faris]

yeah LOL, i'm lame.

I gave it away. I wasnt banned, honest.

The Kyudogi was a gift from my bro/ls, so not going to sell it.
Bow is just budget, dont have 2 mil to spend for the minor differance between Selene's/E.bow.
I'll try the CFG on some ws's though, see if I notice anything.
We'll do some city runs once they release blu/cor/pup AF2, so we'll see.
With my luck > 1/1 lol (Hi2u Valor coat+Koga tekko in same run)

[Raen Ryong]

Oh yeah, I appreciate the bow budget issue entirely, I was more speculating that if the Kyudogi were not a significant asset (which in this case, it is) then the money spent on that would have more impact on an E Bow.

Also, much hate on that Valor Surcoat QQ... my LS never lets me lot it <_< figures that after all of the other PLDs have one it stops dropping, eh? Now there's another rival in the shell too...

[homerun]

Anything obvious I've missed in the need department?

emnity and mdb sets can both be improved with the Iron ram sallet set

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ram_Sallet_Set

Edit: Just saw comment about AN, bleh

[Jones]

So I figure I'll post my gear here and ask for suggestions on improvement.

BRD - Idle:
http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...827_220335.png

I haven't finished MP merits (3 atm) mainly because I'm not sure if I'd ever finish NIN or take up PLD and thus want HP merits. I'd like to someday upgrade my Astral to a Serket or even an Vilma's Ring or Vivian Ring. Tamas is out since I like my Rajas too much. Astute Cape has been on my list for a long time now, but since that may never happen I'm looking into either an Intensifying Cape or +1'ing my Blue Cape.

BRD - Debuff:
http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...827_220417.png

I looked into Nereids and tbh I can't stand the thought of losing more MP for debuff casts. I already lose 99 MP, primarily from head, back and feet slots. +1'ing on the Cuffs will come eventually.

PUP - TP:
http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...827_221113.png

I have a Turban, but since completing my Somen, I don't even carry it anymore, unless I'm farming Too Weaks or /NIN for some reason. My TP set is all about stacking ACC, sneaking in attack or Haste when possible, so the Somen represents a nice blend of Turban and Pln. Head.

I'm not an expert at melee calcs, but I decided that on my Legs 3% Haste, 10 Atk, and 5 STR are surely better than 4 acc, 3 STR on Pln. Legs or the 6 acc on those Volunteer Brais. Is this a correct assumption, or is 2-3% hit rate that much more important? Earrings are Brutal/Ethereal. Back is Belicose and is the best PUP can do right now for back slot for TP.

I still need the 35s for Usu hands and body, but I don't view myself as next in line for either in my group, so those may not come for quite a while.

In the meantime, I want to attempt to get a Enkidu's Harness. I'd also like to upgrade to +1/Toreador's someday, but I feel like any gil I have extra I should save for Usukane Haramaki, in case we should be blessed by 35s from CC.

I'm hoping for great AF2 gear, but at the same time I'm worried that some critical Automaton piece is going to conflict with my existing Usukane, which will be sad.

PUP - WS:
http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...827_221453.png

Funny, since I netted those Enkidu Mittens, I don't blink on WS anymore, which is really unsettling somehow. I don't think it's smart for PUP to sacrifice acc nor atk for STR in too many slots (an example would be Usukane Sune-Ate, 7atk/acc vs Puppetry Babouches, 3 STR), but I'm not sure if I'm missing some alternate option available to me.

=============================

Suggestions on mods to these gear sets are welcome and encouraged.

Holy hell, how much do your WHMs hate you? Is all that blinking really necessary? >_>

Not THIS again. Refer to the last thread. Competent mages, tank macros, mage preference, etc.

There's a difference between tasteful blinking, and blinking for every damn action you take. I don't care how competent your mages are, that's not good for anyone.
