Post Pictures of Your Gear X: Switch to SAM or WAR

[SephYuyX]

Shame, I bet youre the type of BLM that nukes in -enmity gear. I guess some people just arent taught right. No point in trying to give you good advice.

[Dooom]

Picked Rajas for SAM mainly, though I did originally have Sattva until recently.

I'd use Rajas in your atonement TP set instead of the +5 acc ZNM ring. I think it was in the last post your gear thread that a decent sized debate/argument raged over it's uses for pld, and how it can be better than even a +7 acc ring. Granted, it was in the context of picking Rajas or Tamas for pld, but it helped show how it's a good ring for pld to use on anything you can melee.

Now now Stun doesn't land 99.9% of the time. I'd say 95% just to be consistent with everything else. Stun is one of those spells with absurdly high M.ACC (Dispel, Flash, etc), there are few monsters you need dark skill on (especially as BLM), so in all actuality you should have a Swift Belt. There is no reason not to, 0/20? Grats go make it 0/21 until it's 1/xx.

You are a bad BLM if you do not pursue a Swift Belt for casting Stun.

[Dooom]

And failing that, Headlong Belt as a placeholder until it does drop?

Gavin has both better gear and a greater understanding of BLM than you, dark skill does shit all for stun compared to haste.

wtf is going on here, any stun should be enough time for ichi to be put back up, ANY stun. only thing that even resist's stun ..are kings and jailers (kirin but..lolkirin)

[Gosyac]

Pld gear

Your sets look pretty nice. Just off the top of my head, for ichi casting you could replace herc ring with jelly. The -5%pdt will do more for you than the +3enm assuming you get hit/block while casting. And for the -mdt/mdb set, look into getting a resentment cape. It's always active in Sea (great for JoL tanking) and it'd put you at the -25%mdt cap.

the topic of discussion is whether or not you should use gear that makes sure landing stun (which as you said hardly ever resists) happens or gear that makes you stun more often (haste gear). I'd generally use haste/-enmity over dark magic gear.

PS: SephYuyX, why are you using AF feet over avocate pigaches for enfeebling when you have them on your char?

i use fastcast>haste>dark for stun (rostrums/nash hands/turban/swift/loq/jupiters, dark magic for stun is absolutely last priority, maybe rdm/drk may use a little more dark magic...but even then...no just no. lol

[pchan]

At Tiamat when it lands? I don't understand at all..

For Tiamat there is this wondeful spell called silence that has to be paired with a non idle rdm.

It lands 99% of the time because it most likely has forms of partial resist, and seeing how rare "resist" messages are, I'd say more than 1 partial resist. So if full duration is 95%, 1/2 duration is 95%^2 so stun lands at least 99.75% (if only 1 form of resist exists).

[Thorny]

Stun cannot full resist on standard mobs unless it is earthsday or earth weather. Obviously this does not apply to mobs that build stun resistance or naturally resist it(khim, bv2, etc).

[Gosyac]

Guess I'll post my Pld; Only showing sets normally used while /nin.
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z.../pldgear-1.jpg

1) Normal atonement TP. Bwlt is swift, left ear is Suppa, Loq changes to ethereal after after using the mp. Iota puts me at even dex amount, so it's just like a 5acc ring.
2) Ichi recast. Ear is ethereal.
3) Ni/reprisal. Enmity gained from utsu is minor at best, so I add in defensive gear in the off chance I get hit while casting.
4) Flash
5) Atonement/Sent/Shield Bash. Relic feet for sent of course.
6) Rampart. Nice mix of enmity+vit
7) -MDT/MDB. If it's a kite fight or JoL, IR lance is equipped.
8) Cure IV kit. First equips morgana's and askar feet to drop HP, then everything is swapped in (belt should be trance, too lazy to fix pic). Gives 385hp cure.
Obvious stuff I need to improve of course is getting IR body, some enmity earrings (eff u ACP7), Hauby+1/Homam, Tor x2, Cuch mantle. All but IR body depends on if I can ever earn enough gil for them all.

[Despain]

Sattva Ring.

[Kidnoftle]

First off, I would highly recommend changing Sattva to Rajas since Sattva is basically useless (1 hit off an atonement build > 1emn over mermaids ring).

Cuch mantle for TP is highly recommended, but you already mentioned you had plans to get one.

I'm not sure how you handle casting (i.e. whether or not you use spellcast altho it's far from necessary) but it might behoove you to put stuff like buckler earring into your ichi set. Heavy gauntlets, Darksteel +1 (in all slots that arn't shield skill+) along w/ vbody or mbody for when you're actually hit during the cast then end the cast in full haste. If you don't do this then disregard.

Blitz ring for haste sets (can also benefit TP set if you have optimal conditions of buffs for tping).

For flash hades earrings +1 are handy, bahamuts instead of wturban for if you have 1 march up.

How is this for RR Wolf and Yu? 117 Dex without sacrificing much Str. Should I use Thunder and Hauby+1 for even more Dex instead of just using KJ on higher end mobs?

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...x/fasdfasf.jpg
Kj Set

Both sets Agg up, Hauby+1 when Agg is down.

[DAKPluto]

Birds, it's ok.

North Camp, you will want Thunder and Hauby +1 on anything not a WHM or BLM.

[Arximiro]

As far as Limbus, Dynamis, and Einherjar mobs should I use Hauby+1 and Thunder Ring and RR, or just stick to my KJ build?
