Aeyliea-Cartouche-Phoenix. 90 done.

Brewing 5 alfards with one brew made this trial laughable.

Curious to see how he did his testing, as you need more than 50mab to beat the current +2 staves. It would be nice if the mab on the staff itself was calculated outside of the MAB step itself, but that would blow +2 staves out of the water.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Was that assessment made before or after we discovered the way magian staves were calculated?

Still, I doubt any minor improvements in damage-per-nuke could compete with the casting time decrease, unless that's already easy to cap.

BLM MAB:

Trait: 36
Ammo: 2
Novio: 7
Hecate: 6
Body: 11
Hands: 8
Ring: 10
Cape: 5
Legs: 7

Total: 92 MAB

Going from 92->142 is ~ 54% increase.
Magian +2 Staves are 30% increase.

If you use magic of an element you have potency merits in thats another 10 MAB. 102->152 is 49% increase, and still wins easy.

So yea, it makes sense that Lv 90 Staff is highest magic damage.

In Abyssea you have way more MAB choices, but you also have to factor in Magic Staves being the same term as Element+ atma like Beyond. Lv90 Mythic Staff is hot! grats~

EDIT: You need about 170 MAB total for the increase in 50 MAB to equal current +2 Magian Staves. That means you'd need about ~70 MAB ontop of the setup I have listed. Since Minkin is a staple, you'd have to use Beyond + Ultimate I think? Which would be +80 MAB. (But the Ice+ reduces the increase from Ice Magian Staff.) In this case you'd get

182->232 = ~27.5% increase on all spells [Using Lv90 Mythic Staff]
vs
1.3->1.6 increase on Ice = 23% Increase on ice, and the full 30% on other Magian Staves you might have. [Using +2 Magian Staff]

note: If you're like most and have Ice/Thunder potency only, that means you'd have to subtract 10 MAB for other spells, which makes Lv90 Mythic Staff a 29%. increase. Overall I'd say that makes Lv90 Mythic Staff great. Will be interesting to see how the augment paths go for the Mythic Staff and Elemental Magian Staves~

How much extra damage would it have to do to compete with the cast time reduction?
