The Ultimate Black Mage Resources with Damage Calculator

They do. The Crafted Earrings pre T9 are also really good.

Only super, super expensive.

Jealous of the T4 overmelds, I can only afford to overmeld T4 Spellspeed on mine.

Though, i'd put accuracy over piety.

Would it be possible to add food to the calculator? Add an additional line for the stats from foods as they aren't affected by Selene's buffs. I'm having some issues deciding between HA Chest + Crafted belt (15 acc 15 crit 3 det melds) + Soldiery Earrings + Ponzecake vs Soldiery Chest + Soldiery belt + HA Earrings + Omelette.

^ Food is affected by selene buff (see this post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2232729 )

So, you'll be putting in total base stats as always.

Everything is pretty much in place. I'll have it out by the end of this week.

If that's the case, then I actually believe this set http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/N8VO is BiS since it ties with a different set for DPS under Selene's buff but offers slightly higher DPS without it.

Soldiery Earrings are pretty bad, you'll be better off the with the crafted earrings. The HA earrings drop from T9 (if you've got them, use them and run some accuracy on your wrists)

I simply don't see how the crafted earrings can make up for the 5 lost int when it only comes with one secondary stat...

This question pertains primarily to i100 gear, but it's partly cause I'm still trying to work out the difference in priority between crit and det. Which is better? The weathered evanstar hat/gloves or the scylla head/gloves? I feel like the scylla pieces should be better because slightly higher SS and det instead of crit (and I've already got a very large amount of crit), but stat weights I keep seeing seem to favor the weathered evanstar pieces.

Because you have 5 meld slots.

Crit is better, but there are plenty of better pieces to get your accuracy from. Running a det + acc piece means you lose so much crit and spellspeed that its not worth the increased Int.
