i apologise in advance i know there are so many gear posts out there including two i like but my question, as are they all, is slightly different.
I am trying to gear up for garuda!
my Ls is doing a lot of garuda just lately and we get to phase 3 before wiping.
As a blm my damage is constantly around for 14k with 29 spells cast and 1 or two misses the other 2 Blms from the ls are doing the same amount of damage but wth 100% accuracy. However a pickup blm was outdamaging us yesterday with a constant 16k and his accuracy was very low, i dont remember how low exactly. When i checked there gear (and asked them) their int was about 30 higher than mine acc was 50 lower and their crit.hit rating was +80
my gear setup is as follows
2 coral rings+1
zircon bracelets +1
mages choker
mages earrings
Felt cavaliers hat +35 int
spruce pattens +1 with lightning potency +25
boarskin ringbands of storms 2* sagacious might giving crit potency+84
body and legs are both af
ive been using att magic food instead of accuracy
im planning on double melding 2* Int and Mind onto legs
ive also been using a lightning brand with +24 acc.
My stats as they stand are:
int 303
mind 247
m.acc 484
m.att 472
m.crit.rate +20
Question time.
should i swap out my coral rings for Black pearl rings+1 for an extra 16 crit rating?
i have narrowed down the choice of weapon to:
Lightning brand (+16 acc and 16 int materias)
Electrum scepter (2 * 16 int materias)
Vintage cudgel +1 for the crit rate (not sure on the combination of materias but at least 1 int) will be ivory probably if melds fail
giantsgall, probably out of my short term budget anyway but....
basically i want to be doing as much damage as possible, i can switch in food for any lost accuracy. i always thought i had to go for int but this other blm doing so much damage and being resisted has me wondering.
