Ironworks vs WoD

[KamikazeMan]

I always go after the main stat as long as my accuracy is fine. The other secondary stats matter, but it's not worth being stuck with lower ilvl gear because of it.

Depending on the job and what stats you're looking for, the Demon set is more or less a mix and match for the Iron works or a place holder until you can get poetic upgrades. Mostly some of the Demon set is a better choice for an i120 compared to Iron works. Unless the Demon set can be enhanced in a future update, the i130 iron works is the only reason to farm poetics. I've been looking for tank and Drg pieces and I'd rather have the Demon body over Ironworks at 120 for tank and Demon pants over iron works for drg. That said bard might want Iron works over demon for hand gear (if you don't need the need the skill speed) but i130 is iron works. If anything Ive been using that Garland tool thing just to compare sets and nit pick between the two for the stats I'd have more need for. As for Summoner I don't know what the main stats are for it, but the top row seems to be the same on everything. Looking at the two side by side, I'd choose the demon feet. Unless Acc and Spell speed are better used on Blm or Summon pet.

Ps: Does any Summoner stats influence pets like the summoning skill and MP pool did in FFXI?

Even with spell speed being "useful", you still dont wanna trade SS for crit and det on your Build. Losing crit and det for SS is a losing battle.
