Question in regards to end game gear (Healers)

[Ghishlain]

So I looked through of the higher iLvl pieces of gear i.e. Genji and Lost Allegan and there seems to be a lot of piety. Should I forego some of these pieces for lower ilvl pieces that do not have piety?

There is one niche case I'd consider dropping ilvls in the current healer gear list and that would be taking an Allagan Ring and Augmented Allagan Ring over Genji Ring and Augmented Allagan Ring.

Genji Ring is Piety > Spell Speed secondaries while Allagan Ring is Determination > Critical secondaries.

Spell Speed would be the lowest of the three secondaries for total boosts and Piety means nothing if you're comfortable with your MP pool. Determination and Critical would give you more overall benefit in this case despite the loss of Mind.

So Augmented Lost Allagan and just Lost Allagan can both be used at once?

Yes; Augmented version is a unique "ID" and counts as a different item.
