Morrigan's Robe vs Genie Weskit

[Ros]

Which would be better on blm?

Same with Zenith Mitts +1 and Morrigan's Cuffs

[pchan]

Morrigan's robe is like HQ4 of igqira weskit damage wise and give refresh.

[ZombieHeadshot]

I wish you were a Zombie.

Really, you can't work it out....

[Marokko]

Next time compare the stats and discard what is equal and then the remaining stats should make it clear.

Nothing beats refresh on a nuking piece.

[Aihree]

For meriting and nuking normal NM's, morrigan's robe is all. For things that resist heavily, like Ouryu, Tiamat, etc, use the weskit for its +skill.

Never had zenith+1, but in comparing Morrigan's to nq zenith hands, I would say that 25 less MP is definitely outweighed by the +5 macc.

In other words - It's situational. Try it out and adjust.

Kanican - Scholar Guide (Part IV)

not true if kaeko's info is correct. assuming you don't break the threshold where 1 int = 1 macc. based on that, and the figure he presents at 1 skill = 1 macc (or possibly .9, it's not locked down clearly) morg represents +8 macc from the +8 int on it. this is in contrast to the +6 skill from a genie weskit. therefore, based on the figures, morg body should outperform genie even on high resist targets.

as for zenith+1 vs morg, ignoring the mp and hp differences, you're looking at 1 mab vs 5 macc. that's just a judgement call. if you know you're not going to resist anyway, whip out the zenith+1, if you think you might resist, go with the morg. considering how costly zenith+1 are though, i'm perfectly happy to "gimp" along w/ my morg hands. also, if you have a full set (i do) they're required to trip the set bonus on the morg gear.

Morrigan's Robe > Genie Weskit on everything pretty much. I'll have to mention errant/mahatma body on the stronger targets if you need the extra INT; you want as much INT as you can get while having decent ele skill (320-330ish). Otherwise, Morrigan's Robe works just fine really.

Zenith Mitts +1 > Morrigan's Cuffs > Zenith Mitts if not full Morrigan's IMO. Of course, AF(+1) gloves > all for the skill/INT when you need the extra accuracy anyways.

Agreed with this. My mitts never hqed so I settled with the nq, and now Morrigans is much better then Zenith. The magic acc helps of course, but on things that resist my +1 af1 hands get put on first.

[Spekkio]

yeah. morg hands rather occupy a medium between the highly resistant which you use af+1 and the not resistant which zenith+1 are superior on. trouble is, that's a very narrow band. if you don't have zenith+1 though, morg are a great option, doubly so if you have a full set. also, the comment about refresh on a nuking body is somewhat invalid. refresh gear is for standing, not casting. the fact that they're one in the same makes for a more compact inventory which is nice, though.

also, morg hands are great for debuffing if master casters are off or not available to you.

[Kaylia]

Unless you're doing an epeen contest on pudding, Morrigan's hands are better almost everywhere.

It's so easy to put +ele skill and int in other spots (merciful cape, nashira feet, af+1 hands, af2 hat), if you have a morrigan's robe there should never be a need for errant/mah body outside of HMP and stoneskin.

[Ultimagi]

I use Wizard's Coat +1 for resting and will use Morrigan's Robe for Stoneskin just to save space once I get it. It's easy enough to cap it anyway.

[Fredjan]

My point was I easily reach the required skill range with AF2 hat, elemental torque, and AF(+1) gloves (even moreso when I nuke with ice, 324-334 skill). No, I don't have a Morrigan's Robe, so I ended up using my mahatma body on the harder stuff. It's only 3 more INT anyways in comparison. I'd probably prefer Morrigan's anyway.

Merciful Cape is a dark magic piece to me, and I only really use nashira feet for the haste on Stun.

[Fogo]

was just pointing out options, and yeah, i'm with you, merc cape is almost solely a dark magic piece (sometimes i'll keep it on instead of prism at events just as a kind of safety thing though). Also, my nashira feet only come out for my smn now too (yigit feet ftw).

[pchan]

If you are under the target's INT+10 and seriously need accuracy, mahatma houppelande is the way to go. If you are above the target's INT+10 and get lot's of resists then Shadow/valkyrie coat is what you need.

In all others situation (=90% f the time ?) ~ Morigan' robe. If you're lazy you can still get rid of errant body and keep morrigan's. 2 INT is nothing.

[Liseth]

Had this discussion on another forum recently. Morrigan's > all for everything. It's like the swiss army knife of BLM body pieces.

[Ultimagi]

Not better than Wizard's Coat +1 for Enfeebling and resting. Nor is it better than Nashira Manteel for Dark Magic.

[Alistaire]

It's so easy to ...af2 hat

No really, "it's so easy to" followed with af2 hat...not quite available to everyone. Getting there thanks to the boosted drop rate but still a lot of long waiting lists in a lot of shells.
