Give beastmaster more magic attack bonus and or lightning attack gear

[Mirage]

Aftermath on the Empyrean weapons does not affect pets. As for Lightning Affinity gear, as long as it is all jobs I think its a good idea, but at best you'd probably be giving up the sub slot, or if you are incredibly lucky, the waist slot.

Speaking of the waist slot... I wonder if the right elemental obi and a Scholar boosting it up would help boost WS damage.

Seeing as magic affinity is very potent, I don't think it would matter which slot you'd get it in. It would probably outperform almost anything else you would WS in. But sure, it would be best to get it in a slot where there isn't already something good to use.

According to this, even +1 lightning affinity would increase damage by 10%, and accuracy by 20.

So like, one or two pieces with lightning affinity, a few more pieces with MAB, and it's starting to sound pretty nice. Wouldn't want them to be all jobs though, cause the amount needed to boost up cloudsplitter significantly would probably be unbalanced if used on a pure mage job.

When I think about it, a few more pieces like that would be nice to have for several melee jobs, for use with elemental WSes.
