Subject to change, but this is what I'm working towards (rings are Allagan and Hero's): http://xivdb.com/?wardrobe/2755/SMN-Goal

This is the true best set for high end content, imo. I don't buy those stat weights, btw, and there is no situation I would ever use ilevel 70 gear over 90. People who would use crafted gear over Allagan/Myth are just desperately trying to delude themselves into thinking crafted gear can be more than a mere stopgap. It can't.

Don't buy it? Either the ratios are wrong or not, but the weighting is based on that. Is was merely meant as a guide for what you can substitute for what, in order to meet the 100% accuracy for Garuda cap, with the smallest sacrifice possible. The AF2 Legs and Shoes represent the largest sacrifice of DPS for a gain of accuracy of all the possible trade-offs, overmelded i70 items included.

Edit: What I'd like to know, is what the true accuracy cap for SMN is, to maintain 100% on Garuda. I know my 459 accuracy is definitely more than enough for T5, I'd just like to know by how much. I _think_ it is in the high 440 range, but I'm really not sure. If we knew the cap, or a very close estimate, it would be a lot easier to figure out definitely, what is the best SMN set to hit that cap without food.
