Nares Hand O Goetia+2

Which are better for normal nukes? Thank You.

Nares.

Actually, nevermind.

Must have posted this late! There is the m crit + dmg to think about though.

head - nares
body - nares
hands - nares > goetia
legs - valkyrie trews(perfect augment) > akasha chaps > goetia
feet - nares

The set bonus is too great makes them much better

Although it takes plugging into the actual equation to get exacts, the rule of thumb I use is 2int=1mab damage wise. 1% magic crit rate=.1 mab. It works pretty well at quickly comparing pieces. along those lines:

Nares hands assuming head and feet (3int/13mab) >> af3+2 (7int 8.5mab)

Akasha chaps (13int 6mab) >> valk w/ perfect augments (6int 9mab)

Pharmakeia Robe (15int 8mab) >> Nares body (14int 8mab)

I'd agree with your assumptions except for the last.

Remember nares has a set bonus and head/feet/hands are best in slot. Using Body brings you up to 4/5 and combined that's a better option that Pharma Robe taken by itself.

If folks don't have 4/5 and are building towards that then yes Pharma > Nares in the meantime...

14 INT is accounting for the set bonus.

I gave nares body 14 int in that comparison which is assuming you are getting the max +5 int from the set bonus.

Edit: If magic acc matters though, nares crushes pharmeka

So basically in terms of raw damage on blm I want to cast in 4/5 nares?

Assuming you are nuking a standard target and don't have any weather/day effects, I think this is the ideal set currently:



4/5 nares wearing body is a very close 2nd.

Sorc ring, you sissy little man.

Yes, and if you are stacking weather (I highly reccomend it):
