CNJ/WHM gear question.

[ForeverZero]

Hi, I am kind of new to CNJ and want to make sure I am doing this right. Should I be using a wand/shield combo or the staff? Which works best and why?

Whatever set of weapons make you heal more. That's the only thing that matters until you get your Relic.

Go with whatever weapon you have access to that has a higher magic damage rating (it also affects heal potency). Some levels there will be a staff that is better than wands around that level range and vice versa.

Wand vs. Staff are not really much different from one another, although you will want to find a decent shield if using a Wand to make up for the stat difference. Staffs have higher stats to make up for the fact that you can't equip a shield with them.

Cool, thanks for the advice guys!

In general until you hit 50, on any class, just do the following checks:

1: Does this match my class? I.E. you're not putting crafting gear on your WHM. Generally just see if your main stat's on there, and generally GLD/MRD should prefer gear that's only usable by the two of them, or possibly lancer too.

2: Then pick the one with the higher item level. It'll have higher stats overall. Do note that stuff that can't be crafted like dungeon drops and unique quest rewards trump crafted stuff, unless the crafted item is high-quality in which case they're equal.

Sometimes, that will be a staff. Sometimes it'll be a wand and shield.
