    AST Items Genji vs. Lost Allagan

    Hi. I'm have a bit of trouble deciding what the best items are between the two. I thought I was making the right choices, but then I see people not wearing what I thought was the best, and it just makes me EXTREMELY confused. Like, why would someone NOT wear the Genji helmet?! It's got a bit less crit, sure. But at least it gives Determination instead of Piety. So like, WHYYY?! =__=

    Anyway, I'm pretty decided about some of the slots (like armor and pants, duh). But then I get to some of the other slots (LIKE THE BOOTS) and I'm torn between what I should take. More importantly, I couldn't seem to find this information ANYWHERE (which surprised me A LOT). So hopefully this might help someone else as well.

    So could someone help me out here and lemme know if I'm on the right track, please? Here's what I think are currently the best choices:

    Helmet: Genji
    Armor: Genji
    Gloves: Genji
    Belt: Lost Allagan
    Pants: Genji
    Boots: I DON'T KNOW??? HALP!

    Earrings: Genji
    Necklace: Allagan
    Bracelet: Genji

    Rings kinda don't matter. p:

    If you are a healer who cares about dps and/or one that doesn't care about healing that much (aka doing speed kills/"off healing") then Allan Gloves and Genji boots combo are best (considering that piety doesn't have any Stat weight).
    Some top healers also use pentamelded i320 bracelet with DH, because it has crit/det instead of det/pie from genji (as I said before, piety has no weight). Obs: ring bis are both 340 and 330 Allagan.
    Although, if you are not that comfy with your piety, I'd recommend using the genji bracelet and Allagan boots and if you want, genji ring.

    For speed-running/dps-heavy/farm status type of play, healers tend to pick gear without Piety since those types of runs typically do not require much MP usage. Piety does not directly give you damage stat increase. However, if you are doing progression/"I need to save the run" type of play style, you typically see healers choose pieces with more Piety.

    Gear does not matter that much for healers in my humble opinion, although I suggest favoring gear with more Crit and Determination.
