SSPD/DET(CRIT)/ACC is probably the best bet for not breaking the bank.

Now that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you kindly. One final question since this whole thing is rather confusing for me.
11/11/11/11
Does that mean 11 I, 11 II, 11 III, 11 IV?

Edit: on a funny note, with the new gear from Final Coil we get to be the Dark Magician from Yugioh.

To answer your question, yes. 11/11/11/11 means 11 Is then 11 IIs, etc. Lastly, is there an album you got this image from? I'd love to get a better look at the sets. If that really is our new BLM gear, I like it, at least in its blurry rendition we get of it here. It might in actuality be way to fanciful like High Allagan gear looks on us (it aint bad, but I like the simplicity of the original Allagan Robe better).

IMO that new caster set looks absolutely terrible.

The wing is what kills me... no way in hell will I be wandering around with that sticking out of my ass. I'll keep my Allagan Tunic of Casting thank you very much. =P

Well we can at least get the gear and glamour it :P

Can somebody help me with a gear loadout? I need to know what gear should I use with my current inventory.

If you don't want to open link, here is my general loadout. (all evenstar gear unweathered)

Weapons - Laev (110), Animus
Head - Evenstar
Chest - Evenstar, Scylla
Hands - High Allagan(HA) Gloves, Evenstar
Waist - Evenstar, HA belt
Legs - HA breeches (just got them ), Evenstar, Scylla
Feet - HA boots, Evenstar

All ACCs are Evenstar with 1 Judgement Ring of Casting.

Questions:

1. What would you do if your thunder dot drops off while you are in astral or in the middle of your fire rotation? Just recast it in astral? I'm low level so maybe it doesn't happen at 50, but just wondering.

2. When should you use surecast ideally?

Thank you!! Been searching internet and can't find clear cut answers.

1) Wait for ice.
2) Almost never; the few situations you do are barely worth noting / are intuitive enough that you can figure it out.
