Bruiser's Earring at lvl 99

[Concerned4FFxi]

thank you, i was considering etheral to conserve space, but i have kemas also and will use that to ws in and etheral to tp in. I have to make mild adjustments since im gearing all 20 jobs and i have a moghouse full of furniture that i refuse to abandon, lol. I could get the odin earring but again its a matter of storage space.

SE, if you like to add a second storage space to our moghouses, or pehaps a "mogvault", that is put in the mogsafe and can be displayed as furniture but also grants a new inventory space of 80 in your home nation called "mogvault", i'd be thrilled.

Heck, the mogvault could come in different colors and be a craftable item, would go well with the proposed throne of bones or the sandorian royal throne from the furniture thread.

Calcitrant stole is complete garbage unless you're using savateur's gaiters, since you know, pup doesn't get kick attacks naturally, and even then with only 3% ka, increasing kick damage is going to be very minuscule increase to your over all damage

Completely correct for PUP, but I will note that Calcitrant is excellent for MNK (which has native KA, KA merits, and gear to enhance kicks like AF3+2 legs/feet and set bonus). Rancor beats it from a pure damage perspective, but the downsides for a tanking MNK might make Calcitrant more appealing.

The reason I bring it up here is that a lot of the time the discussion you'll see about Bruiser's Earring is directed more at MNKs, so it doesn't really apply cleanly to PUP due to different skill plus these other gear considerations that are more applicable to a MNK. H2H skill in particular is often tied to discussions of both neck and ear slots, since Bruiser's and Faith Torque both affect the total skill (as do Cirque head and Tantra hands).

Rancor Collar + Regain Moonshade wins for pure damage, in and out of abyssea
Faith+Regain Moonshade will win for high haste if you can't afford the +DT of rancor collar (such as in AoE heavy fights)
If you don't have either, Cirque Necklace + Bruiser's is probably the next best way to go, but bruisers loses a lot of it's luster if you've got faith torque, which is fairly even with cirque neck at low haste, and takes a decent lead at high haste.

haha i didn't even notice this was the pup forums
