Wildfire Modifiers

[Yinnyth]

Equipment: Depends on your situation. If you're outside of abyssea, pretty much always go for more MAB. Inside abyssea, however, it depends largely on the atmas you're using. If you have 130 MAB, any AGI you add would add roughly 230% more damage than it would if you had 0 MAB, so suddenly AGI becomes more attractive. The opposite is also true: if your AGI is very high, MAB becomes more attractive. The basic rule of thumb I follow when choosing equipment is that 1 MAB = 4 AGI. It's not perfect, but that's the cutoff point I choose.

Atma: In general, the rule of thumb is to stack the terms which multiply with one another. Use one MAB atma (ultimate or hell's guardian), one fire damage atma (smoldering sky or lone wolf), and griffon's claw (bonus to WS damage while wielding a 2h weapon) if you're using a vulcan's staff, or just a second fire bonus atma if you're using 1h weapons. If you plan on using a brew, go for smoldering sky, griffon's claw, lone wolf, and equip a vulcan's staff. Orrrrr if you want to play like I do, ultimate, smoldering sky, and sea daughter, so you can just stay back at a safe range and pop off wildfires every minute or so.
