The Problem with Red Mage . . .

[ManaKing]

So essentially, the brigandine is the only thing interesting coming our way. Anyone has pics on it yet?

Forgot to mention: There is a Fast Cast neck for all jobs - couldn't see if anyone checked potency.

I hope the new brigadine isnt as terrible looking as the old one. That said, yeah, i wore one while leveling. Which is exactly why i want the new one to look better.

yeah pretty much that's why i wanted pics if they were different

The icon is the same. No one's posted a picture with it equipped though.

Hairpin would be a CDC or Extenator piece and slight upgrade from Z.tiara. If it had STR, DA or Attack then it would be a decent upgrade but as it stands your looking at 5 acc while giving up 2% haste. The evade isn't really worth it considering RDM's evasion skill (or lack thereof). The brego helm would be a better TP piece.

Cure casting time cape is nice because we can cap potency without using a main or offhand now.

I'm not really sure how I feel about that hairpin. 6% haste with some stats seems okish, but it's still in the catagory with the zelus Tiara for me. You better have a really good reason to give up the stats you can get on your head for stats otherwise, because you can cap Haste without it.

Not without giving up some really nice stats in other slots. The reason RDM's tend to use Z.Tiara is that it's 8% haste in a single slot that doesn't have any super awesome options. Putting that there means you only need to get 17~18% in other slots, most notable legs, body and feet. Only other head options are Brego Helm and Khthonios Mask, neither of which is particularly that good when compared to feet / legs / body.

The stats on any particular slot doesn't matter, it's the total stats of the build that are important. Also I've been trying to nail a capped haste + 15 Store TP set. At 30% DW and 454 Delay using CDC, you need 15 sTP to hit 100 in 16 hits or 8 attack rounds.
