MAB vs DD Gear, Thoughts?

It does cap at 35 and 500 Skill, if your not at 500 Skill, it should not be at 35 for you.

OK, I discovered what the issue is with the formula I was looking at... It didn't tell you to take 300 from your skill, therefore allowing you to cap at 203, instead of 503. and the phalanx calculators only use the <300 formula, allowing you to cap at ~370. BG does have the correct formula though and I guess I just stopped looking once I found 1 formula >.>

So, capped + merited skill on RUN gives 31 phalanx, reaching 32 with +11 gear. +40 from gear required to reach 33. I think I'll maybe grab a couple of pieces just to get 32. All those extra gear slots are not worth 3 dmg. Unless we get something with +20 enhancing on AF or whatever. (+5 phalanx dmg reduction in gear would be better, SE... hint hint)

you don't need to take your /sam sets with you when you're not /sam, nor the DW sets when you're /sam.
same for all situational item: you dont need all of em every time = you don't need to have all of 'em in your main inventory
=> you don't need to carry the 100+piece in main inventory

unless none of your jobs are MDdealer you already have some MAB piece

and for "enrune" damage MAB doesnt affect it :still did rune dmg while double weakened (set mab @0)

I do believe I stated already that I choose my gear based on what I am doing~
