I have the ring already actually. What's holding me back from buying any more poe gear and waiting on coil drops because i dont want to mess up my stats. Think I have like 1600 poes or somewhere around there.



At the moment, 11. Soon to be 12. I won't be getting the tomestone either.

Why won't you be getting the Tomestone? I'd prioritise that, all 4 DPS should be getting tomestone weapons (unless you have a summoner).

Okay, so we just beat T12 yesterday, but I've some glaring issues.

I only possess 5700 HP with Food in Party. I only have 506 Accuracy.
Any specific ACCs I should adorn, Vit Melded to help meet ACC + about 6,200+ HP?

This is my set

6200 HP is unnecessary, if you die with anything above 5800 (I say 5800 even though it's closer to 5500 to consistently survive but you will most certainly die a lot in progression) it could have been prevented. More is nice, especially while your healers are getting their rhythm down, but at the end of the day it's enough.

You can use Flint Caviar to solve your ACC issue without changing gear at all while giving the most VIT possible, if you can afford it. Shouldn't be too expensive (subjective I suppose). If you want to beef up your DPS a little you can go for crafted i110 gloves, melded would let you ACC cap and raise your stats while simultaneously letting you use Sachertorte.

*shrug* well i should said i won't be first but mostly likely the second run or third. we've been trying to push it to only one cloud before it transitions at the beginning of the fight. we are always really close like 0.5 or 0.8% before it transitions. i'm thinking it's me because i don't have that much poe gear (only 2 pieces with shiva bracelet).

Skeith used Cut! It's Super Effective!

I could meld another Acc to my belt and with the Carbontwine next week, I'd meet ACC I think?
I'll look into the Melded gloves. Until Coil is kind, I'm kinda hopping around with items.

Any general tips for BLMs in T13?

[Skeith-Adeline]

Oh, found a fair solution .

Lava Toad Legs + a Diamon Ring in place of my Evenstar ring with 2 Vitality 4 Materias, 2 Quick Tongue 3 materias, and an Accuracy 2 materia would let me meet the cap, have 557 Spell Speed and have 5800+ health in party I could also meld another Spell Speed to my belt and maybe a det/crit to my head piece for even more DPS

Got Lilith Rod with maxed DET. It has a bit more raw damage than i130 tome weapon, about 1%. DET's really strong with this iLVL, from my damage range testing it's more like 1 to 3 INT to DET ratio rather than 1 to 4.

Yeah a bunch but you should really feel around for yourself first. It's a fun fight for BLM, dare I say more so for casters than any DPS.

Two questions~
1. Is Spellspeed/det Lilith rod better than the Augmented Ironworks?
2. Can you change the stats via sphere scroll once you obtain the Lilith Rod or does it have to be done while still a Nexus?

[Odowla]

I beleieve a piety set with Lilith Rod is much better, actually.

as for 2, yes, you can still respec.

[Nemhy]

Is it not worth it without the 6 Fire setup? (assuming that's what you mean by Piety set)
