    Black Mage BiS after 2.15?

    Please excuse my noobiness regarding black mage and I thank those who read this and contribute.

    I remember reading somewhere that in the long run, determination, crit, and spell speed all equal roughly the same the longer the fight. With all the primal accessories available via farming now, what is the bis for black mage after 2.15?

    Is there a good gear set for black mage that uses all three primal accesories?

    I was hoping to use all my left over myth for the armor pieces and farm the accesories.

    Thanks

    Warning: Good 'Nuff Opinion Ahead

    After looking around for a while, it seems that people pick a build based around their secondary stat of choice, while admitting that they're pretty equivalent. With that mindset, you're..... pretty much saying that it doesn't really matter whether you do a singular stat focused build at all. Just make sure you're not over-stacking accuracy, and you should do decent damage.

    I'm personally leaning towards spending some myth on the right side (where I think the accessories are better than those available via extreme primals), so it's all interchangeable with SMN, should I ever play that. But I do really want Myth body, coz it's friggin sweet.

    All 3? No. Too much Acc, more SMN benefit than BLM I imagine.

    Best one is the Vortex Ring, the rest are place holders until you get Allagan/Hero. This is true for BiS SS, Crit or Det.

    Have a read here:

    Edit: The three BiS are not the same IMO. Each have an advantage.

    This is not the Crit BiS set.

    I think having all the primal stuff, myth, and allagan makes it easier to change things up in the future when different acc caps are needed. While your collecting all the stuff, try to stay close to 435 acc the best possible. Anything over 435 acc is wasted currently. Once you collect all the items from one of the sets swap to it IMO. Some items have priority over others though, but that's really based on each individual, their acc, and rng.

    I had almost full allagan on the left and re bought all the myth for the left so I could be ready for future content.
