not to mention the 25% acc i believe the elemental staves have. as a Rdm i need these staves to land Debuffs on VW nms. Slow needs earth, Gravity needs wind etc. Then if i want to nuke on rdm i need MAB gear. then some people use convert gear but as a taru and all the refresh available now, i dont use any. then i have a cure set. next i have enfeebling gear (int and mnd gear depending what im casting. mnd for paralyze, int for sleep etc). lastly i have a Dark magic set for drain/aspir and stun. this is a ton of gear, but i can actually fit it into my 80 spaces (although taking items from the VW coffer is a huge pain).

so this idea would pay off (if i can use those staves on rdm. atm i dont want to put the effort into getting them). however i'd still not be able to fully gear my Blue Mage. atm i have to store my MAB and gimp some of my spell mods (mostly agi/int/mnd/chr) in order to still hit 76/80. this is without utsusemi since blu doesnt have to /nin anymore.
