What is the best DD?

WHM DD FTW

Mdt is a bit old fashioned. We are in abyssea and play the easy mode game. Cure VI spam go, invo -10. Not to mention that atmas of the easy mode allow you to cap a given element's magic evasion, if not all all at the same time for elites, if needed. Pdt is still useful for cleave.

Or you can have a MDT set and use useful atmas.

In which case it means that you can afford taking 50% more damage which means that reducing magic damage is useless ? Just for your info you can easily macro single element meva and paired with the appropriate barspell from a whm you will easily sit at 250+ at which point you have 50% resist rate at worst and 25% mdt from shell which destroys your lol mdt set. Stop trying to find excuse for having a mdt set. Either it saves little magic damage (200 damage is nothing, not worth the invo +10) in which case both meva and mdt are retarded, either magic damage is a threat in which case single element meva is THE way to go. There is no inbetween. Except maybe multiple element nukes, but that's when you can use multiples atmas for little damage speed sacrifice.

With as much storage we have now, really no reason to not have a mdt set esp since it doesnt take that much to cap on a job like say MNK.

Using 2 Atma just for resist is going to cut into your DD output a lot. And I really hope you wouldnt use 3 Atma for resists.

Are we playing the same game?

Also why are you complaining about "invo +10" (which btw is a huge exaggeration) for a multielement MDT set while advocating single element meva gear? That's a lot more of an inventory leech...

bacon mage is the best

Any monster that would like to eat you can easily be distracted by your bacon magic

Why are you complaining about element sets ?

[Neisan_Quetz]

Are you seriously trying to advocate 8 element resist sets and bad atma over MDT gear which isn't even 10 spaces and good atma? Seriously Pimpchan? I thought you knew better.

[Kimble]

How much inventory would you use for meva gear? Would you have one for each element or only a few?

I sincerely hope that's sarcasm?...

Any DD/tank with a bit of a brain should have a -MDT and -PDT set. When you duo/trio NMs that cast high tier elemental magic, a -MDT set is essential. In this day and age, it's separate meva (wtf @ that abbreviation btw) gearsets that's obsolete, and not -MDT. Not to mention the fact that those really hurt your inv!

And ffs Andy, stop making Solara look bad by putting words in his mouth.
