Post Your Augmented Items IV: NPC it.

[Tarubaby]

We'll see how it performs over at pudding camp, been working on a prototype nuke build to see if I can get more consistent solo chain 5's.

Setup:
Aquilo's Staff (INT +5)
Bugard Strap +1 (INT +1)
Phtm. Tathlum (INT +2)
Selenian Cap (INT +4, M.Acc +5, Conserve MP +3)
Elemental Torque (Elemental +7)/Swap to Ugg. Pendant > 50%
Moldavite Earring (MAB +5)
Altus Earring (M.Acc +1/MAB +1/Conserve MP +1)
Genie Weskit (Elemental +6/MAB +7/Conserve MP +2)
Z. Mitts (MAB +5)
Tamas Ring (INT +5)
Sorc. Ring (MAB +10)
Ixion Cape (INT +5)
Witch Sash (INT +5, M.Acc +2)
Mahatma Slops (INT +8)
Cobra Crackows (MAB +3/Conserve MP +3)

It seems like you're trying for the magical chance of MP proficiency (from Conserve MP; not from efficient use of MP) over the time-tested solid damage sets. Ditch the Cobras for Yigit Crackows; i hate seeing BLMs wear those at all. I'm guessing you're using Elemental Torque over say Prudence because you probably don't have it (so you're fine there). Now, the Selenian Cap. Either go with Demon Helm+1 for straight damage, use AF+1 (if you have it for hybrid INT+MP), or request that hat into something more exp worthy (INT+4, MAB+2, MACC+2).

Also, I'm sure that you're smart enough to figure it out for yourself, but to this day I still consistently see BLMs using AMII's in regular rotation (not just for ePeen dmg figures) in pudding exp. Tier III's, Tier IV's, and drain are your friend (I'm sure you know this, just reiterating).

It's not that great but it's my only augment so far that's at least an improvement.

Oh god I hate when blms use AMII when it's not like once (I've done it cause I like the extra damage for fun, but only on corresponding day) for kicks or they can't 3 hit with AM II and 2x tier IV (even then I'm not sure it's the best, I haven't really looked into it)

Oh, EM, Gee... THAT WOULD ROCK FOR MY SMN! >:O!!

[Guxx]

On my Erlking's Kheten I got.
DMG: +5 STR +4 Attack: +5

Not bad, would rather have had Double Attack vs attack, but it was my first try so I can't complane.

That is literally the exact same augments mine has.

I'm working on DMG+5 STR+5 Double Attack+2% =0

Congrats though o .o

It's just occurred to me that we have yet to see any signs of jpbutton'd Kyudogi's with STR+6 Snapshot+2 or whatever... I'm gonna start checking the JP rangers on my server hanging around in whitegate.

I'd take it, wouldn't have to worry about wearing any MP gear or eating something that gives MP. (Like Couerl Subs)

I just now looked at the jobs that could use Rune Chopper. What the fuck?

Not the best example that could've been done but hey

Someone mentioned the ASA pants with 3haste and 8movement speed.

I did that too, I use them for running and also macro it in for utsusemi or other spellcasting on PLD. The movement speed is pretty helpful in Nyzul I think.

I know! Me too!

My girlfriend was joking last night about wanting to get a great axe for her BRD.... and I can use it on my SMN so now I have to get one as a joke hah

[Byrthnoth]

You only get the effect if it is drawn can drain 3MP/tick. I believe it was shown at one time that you get the effect every other swing if it's drawn and drains less than 3MP/tick.

Anyway, it necessarily being drawn is why it's no good for BRD/NIN recast timers.

Makes awesome town gear though! I brought one years ago for my brd just for running around town for about 10k; then sold it during the RC Zerg phase for oodles of cash.

Out of interest, if you're casting in 3% haste, what are you TPing in?

Shinimusha Haidate for polearm (5hit) or blitzer poleyn for gk... I don't have Byakko's Haidate yet, as I stated before I have no sky shell. I meant I made those pants with haste and movement with the intent of using it as a casting macro / running piece. But the extra haste has made a difference in merit parties on my tp set as I've seen.

Get some friends to help farm a byakko set and get a merc LS to do it. In my experience the Haidates always drop for the outsiders, even happened with a speed belt once, which went to a total gimp.

I really hate people who put haste on the pants.... just a waste of an augment because its 2009 haidate isnt hard to get anymore, you can low man that shit and farm your own pops.


and it would depend on situations ect...

[Firedemon]

So 8% movement speed VS another augment that would help you perform better overall? I don't get it.
