So in the wake of all the craziness with Fell Cleave etc, I was taking a good hard look at Cataclysm as another option. First thing that struck out to me is how much it sucks that BLM can't use this WS, thanks a lot SE.

So I've narrowed it down to either PLD or MNK for the ideal job to do this on, leaning more on PLD for Phalanx and Cures etc. just in case (and A+ skill rating).


The real problem, is what weapon to use. Martial Staff has just shot up to 1 mil on Bismark (along with a bunch of others, way to go jerks. Keep gouging the playerbase) which leaves me with Pluto's staff for the time being, as I don't have a Yama's +1/+2 geared for Dark Magic Damage.


Which would win out though? And is it even worth going for? I've already checked in another thread on BG, and Martial does indeed beat Pluto's due to the massive difference in fTP at 200 and 300.

But does it still win out against Yama +2? Obviously not if you build up a lot of TP beforehand, but Yama +2 does still provide a huge +30% Dark Attack.
