Trying to build an ideal WS set for CDC and was wondering what people thought of this set?

The item set is a WIP, so I'm totally open to suggestions. The AT was just tossed in there since CDC is 60% DEX mod and for that slot it was the first thing that came to mind.

What's the name of the 5 DEX neck? The AF2+1 Hands might never be acquired... I hate dyna... The funny thing is I had a pair of those but I chucked them because I didn't have room at the time.

Really? Cuchulain's Belt better for CDC than Anguinus Belt?

Also this thread made while back:

Good reference for decent ws sets for CDC.

I'd probably put cuch a little higher. 6 dex vs 5 att and 1% double att meh.

Has that been confirmed? CDC is aligned with Snow Gorget/Belt?

Yes. Very easy to check if it's distortion. I make darkness with it and benthic typhoon which is gravitation all the time.

Also I wouldn't really use that over other belts. Your ftp is 5.25ish dual wielding. The average is a little higher but I don't really want to do the math to factor in acc then triple/double attack. That's less than 2% increase in dmg.

Input was sincerely appreciated Dasva, Ill definitely keep picking your brain...

Another thing to note is using att food. I mean I haven't used food in forever thanks to abyssea capping my acc and the sheer amount of refresh letting me spam spells alot... but since getting CDC I've been eatting curry buns a decent amount just because how much it helps it.

Also fun to damn near one shot xp mobs with a ws on a "mage" job. Really makes me want to consider getting almace to replace my WoE+2 swd.

How exactly are gorgets determined? Seeing as CDC is light/Distortion, wouldn't that make it work with everything but soil/dark gorgets?

Situational items noted in comments but generally speaking this is the ideal CDC build. Shamshir is STR, DEX if you need accuracy.

You guys got an endless inventory that I don't know about? Geez!
68/80 is standard on BLU with the swaps I need. To add a DEX build I may need to toss or revise a set or 2.

Here's another question from what I've seen in Abyssea a BLU's DPS is tied to this sword & CDC... so much for spells...

Now here's the thought.... Aside from say Delta Thrust, Occultation, Winds of Promy, Benthic & Plenilune Embrace which I find to be essential should the rest of my spell allotment be set for

1. DA Trait
2. Attack Bonus Trait
3. STP Trait
4. Rest give DEX?

I'm also wondering which atmas you guys prefer.

I've been going w/ RR/MM/Omnipotent for events. Just toying around w/ maxing out DEX, but I'm wondering if GH would be better, or maybe take out MM all together and toss in something else?

Also if anyone has the time, I'd like some opinions on my current WS set. http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/192818

I honestly don't use MM much when I'm focusing on the WS for dmg now. I find I am able to keep my MP up just fine with battery charge and meds.
