That was sort of the point ^

I will admit to being one of the noob dd's in full perle. It's a temporary problem I am working to solve. Alas until after abyssea came out, I was a whm full time. So back in the days when I ran an end game linkshell and we were constantly gearing up dds, I didn't think to pick up a few of the shiny pieces for myself. I don't have sky/sea/dynamis gear for my sam. Perle seemed like the best choice for damage. I also have a tp build(not the recommended one, but it works). I also busted my butt to get the shiny atmas before ever thinking of using the job. I'm currently working on my empyrean set. I'd be more than happy to buy ah gear for sam if someone could point me to something better for sam until I can get the af3 +2(or +1 for that matter), but until then, it's full Perle or nothing.
