Try Accuracy Foods.

Accuracy foods are OP and let you get rediculous stat weights.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OJ13 <- this is one build i made with Flint Caviar - is this any better? and what actually is BiS for current patch? o_o

All that aside, what kind of skill speed i should cap at?

Are you planning on using crafted gear at all or just purely i130? From what you've posted it just looks like you plan to use i130 only from the other set you linked. BiS with no crafted gear is this http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OUKD. This results in a 0.72 str increase over what you linked. Either set would be extremely capable.

I do plan to use crafted gear too. Thanks for the full i130 no crafted gear link though - what is the BiS with crafted?

I haven't really sat down to look at it since once you get multiple pieces of crafted gear pentamelded you're looking at 10's of millions. My belt alone ran me 6 million between getting crafted and all the materia. You need to ask yourself how much you're willing to spend, and then adjust your set according how many crafted pieces you can realistically afford. I wouldn't really suggest going after more than three or so pieces. You'll have to be fairly loaded to get that alone...or some insane luck.

RE: Lucrezia's opener (and any opener that has B4B directly before Demo):

At my current SkS (434) I have to wait a second at the end of Twin's GCD to apply Demo with B4B up every time after the initial application. Is there something I'm doing wrong here or is it just my SkS? I'm not actually sure if I'm messing up the rotation somehow or what either. For reference, I go:

PB -> Snap -> PPP -> Snap -> B4B -> Demo -> Twin -> Pot -> DK -> IR -> Touch -> Boot -> True -> Snap -> DK -> Twin -> Demo -> Boot -> True -> Snap -> DK -> Twin -> Snap -> Boot -> True -> Touch -> Demo -> etc.

And then I reapply Touch when it falls off and Demo every 2 Snaps. With the Lucrezia opener I let Touch fall off when IR comes back up and then apply it after B4B -> Demo. But having to sit there and wait doesn't seem right, I feel like I've made a mistake somewhere. Anyone know what I've goofed up? Or is it my SkS?

Edit: To be clear, If I apply Touch as it falls off instead of applying it during B4B, I can use B4B just fine. It's when I save it that I have the problem. Should I not be saving it? I'm not really sure.

Are you talking about waiting after the bolded Twin for the Demo to drop to reapply it with B4B? Then yes, this is because you have so much skill speed. Anyways, if Demo is under like 3 seconds, I would just overwrite it anyways, you would gain more damage by not clipping your GCD at all and also ensuring that Demo gets the B4B.

Other than that, I don't save, or recommend saving B4B Unless its maybe 1 or 2 GCD away from Demo. My rotation and SS is set up so that you don't even get the optiion to save B4B, its going to come up right before Demo, and if its a little slow you can pop a fracture to buy it 2 more seconds. Pretty much every B4B I do now has 2 Demos in it, the only time my rotation messes up is due to mechanics at this point and even then I just pop B4B whenever it comes up. Also, keep Touch of Death up, you want to get it up in the Internal Releases. Its a strong skill and it cost a lot of TP, you want to get a bang for your buck.

I'm concerned about my DPS. I'm pretty sure I have a near perfect rotation (I also use fracture on occasion, wisely to reserve TP if necessary). I did t10 with this gear set up: 115 shiva weapon, 120 poetic gear EVERYWHERE except: belt was from t10, one ring was 110 from t7, and the earrings were augmented ironworks. My DPS in t10 was 414, with one death that lasted a little over 5 seconds, and I got targeted for wild charge twice losing my stacks. I keep reading that everyone is dealing 580 damage or ridiculous shit like that. How the hell am I supposed to do that? Did the rotation change? Is it really just gear? Or did dying and weakness and charges really make that much of a difference? All of these things? Thanks

Wanted to clarify, I didn't have a dragon kick bitch and there was no bard or ninja for TP XD I didn't use food, poison or strength potions either. I think I answered my own question lol
