Optimal Gear Sets?
Optimal Gear Sets?
Still a bit confused on why Laevateinn though.
Mythic has some advantages to it, as well as dissadvantages.
One being inventory. It also WILL make bigger numbers if you can activate the gains from a 200tp WS. Meteor will also will benefit the most from it for the biggest épéen numbers evah.
However it does cost prolly 400-500 million to make and lost of the casting time reduction bonus will be more noticeable than you think. Gonna be interesting if SE makes a better casting staff in a future update.

How much Matk does aftermath 2 give?
Edit: Never mind found it on bg wiki.

eh so kind of a noob question but assuming you had an optimal nuking build how much mab would the laevatenin need to pull ahead of a magian staff (AM2 down and up) and why, was trying to figure it out by looking at the damage equation but a bit confused.

Using this set, which I believe is fairly optimal:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ao1w8f5obheMdG1IYTlBTjF2bE9wZkd0N3lJb1NmeVE&output=html
So around 81-82 MAB or greater would put Laev above ToM +6 staves.
I did Meteor at the end just for $h!t$ and giggles. The Laev has the ES bonus 10% applied to it. Looks pretty nice considering that also gets bumped up by 6.5x for the last caster in party.
If you're going to use Nares Clogs Nares Saio will beat that Robe.
What is the set bonus on those? I didn't take that into account because I don't know the values.
Quote:
Set bonus is +2 Stats for 2 pieces, +5 for 3 pieces, +10 for 4 pieces, and +15 for 5 pieces.
From BGwiki. Even without Nares clogs Saio is 1 Int less than robe, which is most likely from legion, and currently unobtainable.
Ahh, yes you're right. Nares Saio would be better. +10INT for 4 pieces.
Addle also affects magic ACC
So how much magic ACC do you lose from that cape?

Just wondering here...
Back in the day it BLM's used 320 skill/ 120 INT as the goal when gearing for consistent nuking vs. EG content.
I was wondering if a similar minimum skill/ int threshold was still needed for current end game content i.e. higher tier VW/ legion? At 99 that'd equate to 422 skill/ 158 INT.
I see that a lot of sets just cram in MAB in almost every slot. My own nuke set follows that same pattern.
Just looking for suggestions here... And yes I know I could easily slot in more INT gear. I already have pieces for such a set. Just talking aloud here and wanted feedback.

Nares Saio at 4/5 would be better.
Given the Vourukasha I that's your bliz set. Since /sch now gives hailstorm I would throw on a Hyorin Obi .

I'm here because I keep getting fluky numbers in VW and I'm wondering if all the INT I'm subtracting as I add in more MAB accounts for the variance. If that's the case then is there a minimum level of INT BLM's (especially elvaan like me) should maintain as was suggested in my first posting? :/
Nares would let you pump out that spell for greater (not by much) & more consistant dmg, but Goetia will let you spam it more often, winning over time.
On another note, BG now reports that the fast cast on the Nares head piece is 10!!! if you can obtain it, you can just about put away that Goetia for your precast set and only use it in situations that call for a HEAVY boost to accuracy. 10% fastcast vs. 12% casting time delay is nearly negligible, especially since its quite easy to cap on BLM with elemental celerity.

4/5 Nares = +10 to stats?
So now the optimal set for a blm is 4/5 nares and goetia legs?
If my poor math skills are right <.<...

Valk legs with mab augment would be better, but yeah basicly
Two questions:
Nares body vs Pharm body:
Nares gives +10 bonus but isnt that a +5 net gain making it 14int vs 15int? or is it +10 for every piece (which would be a net of +20 int)
M crit:
There are several options that give large boosts to m crit rate and damage. How big of an impact do they make? Also (and forgive my noobness on this question) does m crit give 100% boost if it procs? or is it some other % boost?

Wondering if Goetia would win outside of Abyssea and VW. Clearly there is not a huge press for MP in those two events and you normally get super buffs anyway.
However for something like Legion or playing around soloing DMG staves; would it be more wise to stick with 5/5 Goetia instead of 4/5 Nares and Goetia Legs?
I remember during the 75 cap a lot of different gear sets were necessary for a BLM i.e. Enfeeb, Nuke, Eledebuff, Hmp, Idle, SS, etc. I've started using BLM again but mainly for VW so it's really boring and sets don't really matter all that much.
My question is what are the more useful gear sets for an end game blm now?

Bump
anyone?
Idle, fastcast, nuke, stoneskin, cure, enfeeb, pdt and mdt
Just halfass the cure set and aim for around capped potency (blm can easily do that) not to take up too much space.

Also keep in mind you don't really need alot of MND(if any extra at all) these days to cap stoneskin.
Thanks Kvazz, how crazy do we need to get with macc in our enfeeb sets now? I remember bad things happening to Blms in dynamis who didn't have adequate macc in their sleep macros. It looks like enfeeb skill and macc are fairly easy to come by now.
A few VW can be quite resistant to certain elements, so I just *** as much as I can without completely killing my inventory.
