    Berserk:
    Attack:820
    Averaged as: 761.6

    JT's set were DWIII, TA, Store TP I, Auto-Refresh, Utility Spells were Battery Charge, M.Fruit, A.Burst and WoP for 52/60 remaining for whatever else is needed possibly sTP II. Could disable utility spells but lose out on self healing and aoe erase.

    757 vs 761.6

    That is the difference. No way in hell are you getting a 30% difference between those two unless your doing some really dirty manipulation. BLU wins hands down in WS gear, it has a monstrous amount of DEX due to Toci's, Oth Head and Atho's set. Both jobs can achieve capped critical hit rate on the "outside Abyssea Bukhis during WS. BLU will hit cap crits on anything with 102 or less AGI during melee, at 112 or more that tappers off. RDM on the other hand only hits cap on things with 83 or less AGI, fodder basically.

    What you did was give either give the BLU Dia III (or just Dia II from someone else) or simply not buff the RDM. You can get the BLU to capped haste by buying a ~6mil head piece or by switching out the body / head, which would yield less damage due to the DA/TA and dDex involved.

    This is all gear I actually have, and not even in the most remote elitist mind can it be called gimp or average.
