Idle gear! That's only 1/5 though...

[Zilong]

ZERO.

Jump macro!

[Dooom]

Yeah, am I being dumb, or is there something better than barone legs for Jump?

Jump macro!

Negative. If you have Aurum it's a moot point as you don't need anything but Rajas + Brutal for jumps, if you're using Askar you can (and should) jump in that instead for the better stats and increased WS frequency, ACP body has decent jump stats, and if you're using a Rose Strap 6-hit (Wyrm +1, Homam body, SH/Thrakon before getting any of the 75 gear) then Jump TP gear is completely unnecessary. Maybe if you had some really odd hodgepodge of gear including Ares's Cuirass that allowed you to forego acc in the body and leg slots without making undesirable swaps elsewhere.

[Khamsin]

Bison/Khimaira BST ?/5 (I never see it used...soooo)

Because it's a macro piece. 1/5 (bison warbonnet has -reward recast).

I know body is only useful for idle regen really, depending on other gear you have, but legs? (we posted at pretty much the same time, so I'm guessing you didn't see my post). I barely use drg, but still like to have a vague idea of what I should use.

[Nightfyre]

Legs fall under that too. You're going to need accuracy in one slot or the other to optimize your build in a set that isn't full Ares, else you'll have to cut damage elsewhere. Askar Korazin > Barone Corazza and Aurum Cuisses > Barone Cosciales, use the better pieces and still get the STP you need. As I mentioned though, the legs might have some use if Ares's Cuirass is in play but Aurum Cuirass is not and you're TPing in Askar Korazin.

Why does this shit keep coming up? When are ppl going to learn JSE is usually shit, with the exception of maybe one or two pieces of the set. Do I have to remind you of JSE's? Numbers are taken at endgame level as far as overall utility, I know some of the JSE may have greater usage at the level its obtainable. If any of these are wrong, please let me know

Chausable RDM 0/5
Barone WAR/DRG 2/5
Dragon THF 1/5
Igqira BLM 2/5
Bison/Khimaira BST ?/5 (I never see it used...soooo)
Unicorn WAR 1/5 (debatable due to the fact its a latent)
Hachiman SAM 1/5 (and thats generally requiring HQ hands)
Black DRK 1/5
Austere @50 they're mostly all good, @75 I think only HQ robe due to perp cost
Yasha NIN 0/5

Do you really want JSE?

SMN JSE was great... except it made me look like a hobo.

Blessed WHM? Granted it's not a 5 piece set, it's still JSE.

[Khamsin]

It was, except at 75 there's something to replace all of it.

The only unreplacable piece at 75, if you're lucky enough to have it, is Penance Robe.

Royal Redingote says hi

[Khamsin]

Royal Redingote says hi

Assuming you didn't have another use for ACP body.

[calinz]

Assuming you didn't have another use for ACP body.

I honestly prefer the hobo look of the Penance Robe over the ugly as sin Royal Redingote. Besides why waste a slot on -perp when you can get something more useful. Though I guess I'm biased since I do have penance :/

Sorry, I completely forgot about blessed. SE got one right.

Not this argument again D: Not even gonna get into it, there were already like 7 pages about it in another thread. I will say that even though RR isn't the most awesome looking gear ever, I think penance robe is way uglier. Maybe because I'm a girl but RR's color scheme doesn't really bother me that much, whereas looking like I'm wearing a bunch of rags is gross...

[Narol]

Neither of them really look that great. If I had to choose between them solely based on looks, I'd say Redingote.

Though for "badass hobo" nothing beats MNK in Mirke.

I town-gear on rdm in my smn-based RR =3 It's not down to your gender, lol.

[Chen]

4/5 of igqira is great
head/legs for enfeelbe
feet for dark skill
body(ideally HQ/INT augment)

only improvable piece is morri body, and you'd still get use out of a INT aug weskit for some HNMs

[Dooom]

I was also under the impression that blm jse was good for idling if you can't get PDT/refresh/regen in those slots, for the Curse effect.

[Nightfyre]

Idling in Igqira for the curse effect is debatable, since it really only does anything if you take damage prior to nuking and doesn't like to proc on anything of significance. That said you might as well, BLM's idle options aren't that great.
