What's Better?

[requim]

DB is 30% str and 50% mnd. Before fstr that's basically 55% str.

Aqua ring gives you 2.5 damage from mind, 0.6 from str wsc, and 0.5 from fstr, total 3.6 ranging from minimum 2 to max 5.

Triumph ring is 1.5 damage wsc and 1.25 str, total 2.75 min 2, max 4.

alky/pallas bracelets over morri hands is what I do, albeit I don't have morri hands (but use them over tarasque or dusk).

Are genie weskit/mahatma pants better than acp and Asa legs for blm nuking in any situation? Merits are 8/8 elemental, 5/5 ice and thunder, and all the good ah gear I guess. No morrigans.

[requim]

I think genie weskit is better than the ACP body for higher nukes since you have 5int 4macc/mab vs ~6macc 7mab, which is essentially the int fighting to be better than 3 MAB.

The legs are the best nuking option since it's 4macc/mab vs 6 int, so basically the opposite case of the body with int fighting for MAB.

Granted ACP body and mahatma slops are probably only a bit lower damage and more accurate depending on how you view int above d10 or whatever the value is.

Both the genie weskit and mahtma slops can be augmented to get int/macc/mab so they would still be potentially the best option.

[NynJa]

have there been any mahatma pants auged like taht ?

[Demosthenes11]

seen mahatma pants with MAB+2

[requim]

iirc there were some slops with macc on them. I've yet to see mab on weskit or int on slops, but pretty sure they can get int/macc or mab/macc respectively.

[Callisto]

You'd probably have a much easier time taking ASA than NPCing 8mil worth of Resist Charm+1/Wind Resist+3 Mahata Slops, though.

[IronPandemonium]

Going to probably sound retarded asking this (help me out Vegetto?!), but simply: Capped accuracy on Monk, 1 STR or 4 ATK? Salvage particularly pretty much.

Astrolabe vs Black Tathlum in other words, and since myself I'm not too familiar with fSTR for lower DMG weapons (or hand-to-hand base damage on that note); my bet's on tathlum though.

Nvm, googled it and found the answer.

Just got goliard feet, soooo goliard or avocat for enfeebling on blm?

Spoiler: show

input /equip head "Genie Tiara";
input /equip body "Wzd. Coat +1";
input /equip legs "Genie Lappa";
input /equip feet "Avocat Pigaches";
input /equip back "Altruistic Cape";
input /equip waist "Penitent's Rope";
input /equip hands "Morrigan's Cuffs";
input /equip neck "Enfeebling Torque";
input /equip ring1 "Snow Ring";
input /equip ear2 "Morion Earring +1";
input /equip sub "Bugard Strap +1";
input /equip ring2 "Omega Ring";
input /equip ear1 "Loquac. Earring";

That's what I currently use, if it matters. Gut tells me to use goliard but someone tell me for sure.

[drwaffles]

Avocat have literally zero utility once you have Goliard.

Avocat have literally zero utility once you have Goliard.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear, thanks.

What's the hierarchy for end game Blu weapons? A friend of mine is telling me that an Erlking's Sword is better than the slayer-type weapons to offhand until you can get a Concordia. Will the Concordia be better than the Perdu Hanger to main? Would I be better off getting a weapon with spell stat modifiers instead of something like Dmg 3 Acc 3 M.Acc 3 on an Erlking's Sword?

It depends on your gear set up. If you need excessive ACC (You shouldn't though), Perdu/Erklings will be best since it nets 10 ACC total. If you're 3-5ACC short of cap, Concordia/Perdu wins. If you don't need the ACC or are 1-2ACC short of cap, it becomes a question of "style". That is, Concordia/Perdu will boost your melee DMG using the 15ATT, but Concordia/Koggelmander will boost your spell DMG by at least 1fSTR not even including spells whose modifier is STR or DEX. So in essence, what you're looking at is a comparison of your spell damage versus your melee damage. If your damage mainly comprises of melee, then I would opt to use Perdu. If your damage mainly comprises of spells, then I would opt to use Koggel.

Why is Concordia mentioned? It's garbage DPS.. Beast Slayer is even better.

Am I missing some sort of good awesome synergizing or something cause 10.3 DPS is not something I would strive for. Pretty sure none of them have hidden effects or am I mistaken?

Perdu/koggle seems like the best tp combo.
Koggle / ifrit|beast/wyrm for pure damage

Frag and Erklings for casting

[Andradi]

Concordia has some decent WS augments but that's about it. I agree with perdu/koggel, but why the crap are you even considering Ifrit's at 75?

Erkling's is a decent mainhand if you get a solid +DMG augment on it.

Concordia is mentioned because my friend put that at the top of the food chain in terms of DPS, citing that your sword DoT is just as important as your spells.

im thinking about lvling a 2handed weapon style job
the thing is this job is not gonna get any combat merits
so with that being said what job would you lvl to 75 for events if it wasnt gonna get any combat merits (yes i'll get cat 1 and 2 done)

oh yeah it would be for events not meripo

thank you in advance for any answers

[Yugl]

I didn't notice the delay difference, so that there will be an exchange of 18 Delay for 2 Base DMG and one hit off the road to 100TP (Not like that matters unless you get a double attack in) if you're subbing NIN and using Suppa.

SAM. One hit WSs that gain an ACC and ATT bonus (i.e. the stuff your combat merits would go towards) and great tools for damage.
