So really what you're doing is losing a ton of mind and vit to meld pie on a bunch of stuff.

Did I ever even mention Cashmere?

What it boils down to is: if you aren't already capable of doing Second Coil for the High Allagan gear, you're shafted no matter what and will have to make some tough choices w/r/t gearing. My objection was to the sentiment of "The stats on Daystar don't matter! Just do better!" when the stats on Daystar (and Cashmere, and every other option we have) directly hamper a WHM's ability to "do better".

Having heals crit isn't going to give you aggro problems. If it does, get better tanks, their enmity should be so far ahead of yours that the occasional crit overheal will mean absolutely nothing.

You assume that I will always have access to tanks that are as geared or more so than me. Considering I will have to do things like roulettes, carrying people for leveling (or just new to the fights and/or lesser geared than me) etc etc every single day, that's an impossibility. I'd love to live on Ragnarok, where apparently there is no tank shortage and all of them are i110.

Cashmere's viability vs daystar mostly comes down to whether or not your doing 2nd coil and can i110 daystar. If your not doing coil then cashmere is a real option vs weathered daystar as few pieces such as legs and feet really don't offer anything much to whm. Yeah it's expensive but that's a personal choice and you don't have to get whole set. Some people rather spend their solidery on something else and use gil. Best slot to cashmere would be the legs as the massive det plus other stats beat few mind from weathered daystar.

I've been playing a whm with 0 mind specs and have been doing well so imo if you can live with 0 mind specs, u should spec 30 into peity to make up for some of the peity u lose in full daystar.

? don't understand sorry^^
