Another quick question: Ast secondary stats.

[BloodRubyXII]

Here's a world-first AST; http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...cter/12172164/

I can't make sense of all of their choices but the left side is similar to what I'd go for, and as you can see, lots of PIE melds, with 1571 PIE. Though they likely don't consider their own gear to be "BIS", rather the best they could get before hoping into the new savage content.

Don't just blindly copy world first players like the above post has just suggested to, especially if you don't know why you're doing it; because I highly doubt you have this kind of gear to warrant it and you aren't clearing content at the level he is.
