Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

Hello fellow blms which bis you going for with the gordian staff and food?

[Maero]

Well i still use HQ Sohm Al Tarts (and draconian potion) but have been trying out different foods to see results.
It will be more of an impact for me i think once i get my Relic done because such the huge loss of ss

It will be more of an impact for me i think once i get my Relic done because "SUCH THE HUGE LOSS OF SS."

I really, really, REALLY hope SE lets us change the stats again, like they did the first time around. I didn't think SS much back then, but started changing my ideals when I saw the impact it really had. I would GLADLY trade the Determination for SS any day. So until that day, if it ever comes, I will only keep the relic around for that moment while using Primal/Raid weapons.

^ I could not agree more, my Zeta was full ss and determination but in HW ss is so very important, i actually question decisions made on the gear tbh.
I am taking my sweet time for this Relic, lol

Sometimes I think they make these relic stats in a way to force us to farm and be good at the end game content so we can get the gear needed to have close to BiS stats. I was playing around with ariyala the other day for BLM using the BLM relic and you'd need like half of the Gordian items, eso items, and a pretty good 210 ring from Diadem to have pretty decent spell speed along with everything else.

What is the BiS SS? Right now, at ilevel 191 with the ilevel 200 Anima, I have around 650 SS/760 Crit. With the gear I'm looking (like the Eso Coat and some Prototype Gordian and Void Ark pieces), at ilevel 197, I'll be 768 SS/701 Crit. With Ariyala Tool, I noticed more I will ilevel up with Eso gears, more I will drop in SS. I suppose I'll need Savage Drop to gain more SS while I'm ileveling up.

This is the most logical BiS considering so many caster pieces are just straight junk this tier (ACC DET hat gloves choker, namely) and the pretty low ACC cap in general for casters in A1-4S. It comes out to 717 SS if you use the Gordian staff, 748 SS with the Lunaris rod. Once you bust 700 SS you're pretty golden for Enochian QoL, although I'm excited for 3.2 gear to possibly let us settle on 800-900 or so SS by the end of it.

Something's wrong with that. 527 Accuracy is too low for A3S (~530) and A4S (~540). I'm using the Gordian Earrings and the Fabled Bracelet instead, which will also put you at 761 SS with Gordian Rod, 792 SS with Lunaris Rod.

the food isnt marked. Add a baked pipira

[Sleigh]

Yeah I change the food depending on the fight. That set stays static though, it's basically the zero excess ACC set (minus earrings which I just take the CHR with instead of DET) which is kind of weird for nearly capping ACC.
