Has anYone made bis for crit without the sword and scepter? Use the zenith rod still? Everyone doesn't have excess to those sword and shields, have a crit set for the rod, one for sword and board, and one for elder staff.

Same exact 2.0 Crit BiS in Puro Document (It is down under 2.1 section you will find the old 2.0), just switch relic with elder staff.

Edit: Sorry I forgot about the addition of extreme primal drops. Yeah it might be different .

For the Elder Staff or Relic+1, prioritizing INT (so assume all i90) > CHR > DET > SS:

Sorcerer's Petasos
Sorcerer's Coat
Direwolf Gloves of Casting
Allagan Rope Belt of Casting
Allagan Breeches of Casting
Allagan/Myth shoes
Hero's Necklace of Casting
Allagan Earrings of Casting
Hero's Bracelet of Casting
Vortex Ring of Casting
Hero's Ring of Casting

197 Critical Hit Rate
78 Spell Speed
89 Accuracy
50 Determination
Food used would be Deviled Eggs, stats above not reflected

For Allagan Scepter + Ancient Shield (this is my personal BiS), same priorities:

Sorcerer's Petasos
Allagan Tunic of Casting
Direwolf Gloves of Casting
Allagan Rope Belt of Casting
Allagan Breeches of Casting
Allagan/Myth shoes
Hero's Necklace of Casting
Allagan Earrings of Casting
Hero's Bracelet of Casting
Vortex Ring of Casting
Hero's Ring of Casting

171 Critical Hit Rate
104 Spell Speed
94 Accuracy
48 Determination
Food used would be Buttons/Deviled, stats above not reflected

For both sets above, if you're not into PvP, replace the gloves with the Allagan Gloves of Casting for +11 DET and +21 SS, and subtract 21 CHR.

FML. This is like my 3rd month running Coil every single bloody week and still no breeches from turn 4. I want to just jump off the Coral Tower in Limsa.

Yep same boat for me and my 3 other FC mates. What sucks is those pants are pretty crucial for the BIS gear to work. It seems as though if we don't have ALL the BIS then it messes up the rest of our gear slots esp when it comes to acc or a specific build toward SS or crit

Also thank you sleigh.

So do we have a definitive answer as to what is best for us as far as crit or SS? I just decided to just try do SS just so I would not have stats everywhere.

It doesn't matter whether the BIS is SS or CC, both have their advantages. What sucks is the myth pants is just inferior in every single way. That huge amount of accuracy from the Allagan Breeches enables you to use more accessories that do not have any kind of accuracy.

Oh my fellow BLMs...I feel for you. 3 months of coil, no pantzu for me. I was so desperate, since it'll be my last piece outside of T5 neck/T5 wep, that I rolled on caster pants from CT this week. I'll be grabbing the myth ones here in a week and will never bother worrying about them again (unless I main SMN instead).

The myth pants are quite good, though. SS and CRIT on one piece. You can get enough ACC through accessories like I have. You'd just have to not use the Allagan tunic.

All you need is the T5 weapon to make it viable..which, sadly, has yet to drop in 7 kills for us.

So much for not relying on drops from coil, huh?

Anyone else have gotten an absurd amount of MNK belt in T4? We have gotten 8+ so far, I don't think it is RNG when it is this constant from the chest that drops the legs.

I have this feeling there's a pseudo-random thing that goes with the server time/day, just speaking gibberish with no proof though. Try changing your coil timings or day. Ever since we changed to Monday night, it has been consistent healer gear drops. Probably going to change the day.

Isn't the loot distribution between chests all screwed up? Like how one chest only holds 4 items and the second one 10 or something like that in T1. At least you're hunting for that one final piece, unlike my group. We just got our first healing drop ever last week after 8 or 9 weeks. The healing ring also somehow got turned into a wedding ring after it dropped, and I was told I should get one now...
