Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Myon88]

I'm just following my usual rule of avoiding sks at all costs, so crit/det > acc/crit > acc/det > crit/sks > det/sks > acc/sks, only choosing worse itemized gear if there's too much accuracy.

That said, even taking all the acc/crit and acc/det pieces for this tier, we are still under accuracy cap for sure (its not even enough for A8S), so I think we can safely ignore all the crit/sks pieces and meld accuracy as needed.

For Scripture tome gear, the chest and ring seem quite easily BIS, and no risk of getting an early drop from A9S and A10S in these early weeks that will replace it (chest is BIS, and you can wear 2 rings) - so that's an easy choice for a week 1+2 and week 3 purchase. I'm not in a hurry to save up tomes for our weapon, it's itemized pretty badly (det/sks urgh) so I'll let the other dps in my static get theirs first.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/VOGJ seems like a good candidate for BIS if you ask me. Will almost certainly be under accuracy cap (even though those are the best options already) so just swap out Det V for Acc V materia as needed once we know what the accuracy caps are.

The only question for me, is whether we should do the same thing as last tier and use the 270+260 Scripture ring at the same time. Our alexandrian one is det/sks so you're basically weighing 6 more dex vs inferior secondary stats, same dilemma as in Midas.
