i100/110 BLM Gear, What's the deal?

[mayonnegg]

I came out of turn 7 today, got my Weathered Laevetein and upgraded my weathered casting ring and was on 515 accuracy. Turn 12-ready, baby!

I removed every piece of acc I could possibly remove and I'm at 473.acc still, laev gives way too much acc

Also, I believe firmly for BLM that a BiS build full if i110's would benefit more from 1 piece being an i90 with piety melds to hit 251 (needs varying by race), than that i90 piece being an i110. The dps boost when you hit 251 piety is said to be 2.5%. That's pretty big. And then on that piece (I chose gloves due to good stats to start, possibly belt would've been a better choice for less int loss) I melded some acc as well.

nope

Ill advice to be honest. Because our bis pants comes from turn 9 i can see investing in the crafted pants but melding crit and spell speed is more beneficial. the 251 piety only works in a perfect enviorment where you will cast your rotation with nothing ever interfering. Because we should be casting at all times, we may have to move and use scathe occasionally. this alone ruins the rotation of a 251 piety build causing you to improvise. which you should do regardless of your piety. If you need to cast thunder 1 instead you do so. There is no huge dps increase from using thunder 2 over1 just more convinience. Due to the fact we do have to move you just make sure you have enough mana to do the following.
If 398+ mana, Bliz 3, then thunder 2. (or just 400+ if you cannot compute fast enough
If 291 to 397 mana, Bliz 3, thunder 1. (300 to 400 to be safe)
if 290 mana to 185 mana, Bliz 3, bliz one then thunder 2. (290 to 190 to be safe)
if less than 184 mana, use any ether or take your chances on casting bliz3 waiting for mana to tick which is what you want to avoid then cast thunder 2, best save ethers if you ever bump this low.
Adapting to what you got > striving to get 251 mana and losing potential dps for convenience. You are better just getting a phantasia and going dunefolk lalafell if 251 is your goal then no gear will hold you back in groups with a scholar but that should not be something you should do. Point is we can be whatever and still preform our dps to the best of our skill. we cannot just sit back and follow our rotation to the core because if you do, you are potentially crippling your dps.
