    Gridanian Gear: I want your opinion

    Option 1:

    Gridanian Scepter:
    +10 Attack Magic
    +20 Magic Accuracy

    Gridanian Square Shield:
    68 Block Rate
    46 Block
    +10 Magic Accuracy

    Option 2:
    Gridanian Staff
    +20 Magic Accuracy
    +20 Magic Critical Rate

    Seeing as I am a Twin Adder, both of these options appeal to me in lieu of the Electrum Scepter, etc.etc. Opinions?

    Magic Critical Rate is something you can't add with meteria.

    I would go with the scepter and shield for that little bit of extra defense for in case you generate more hate than you intended. The attack power is great, but you have to have a good balance between offense and defense.

    I'd go with the staff personally. As was said, Magic Crit Rate can't be added with Materia while Attack Magic Potency can. Also, since the staff has a heft amount of Magic Accuracy, you can devote your Head slot to INT materia.

    [Electrum Scepter with more macc], (Electrum Scepter/Lightning Brand with INT) would be preferable for [Ifrit] / (everything else). For unmelded "raw" options I guess gridscepter+shield is fine.

    These two are winners.

    Gridanian Square Shield:
    68 Block Rate
    46 Block
    +10 Magic Accuracy

    Gridanian Staff
    +20 Magic Accuracy
    +20 Magic Critical Rate

    As said before, you can't materia Crit Rate, making the staff a worthwhile and +20 M.Acc is nothing to sneeze at. I like the shield the most, +10 M.Acc on a shield is awesome and I wish I could put on up. I think you can never have too much M.Acc.

    Staff is 2H though, so you couldn't use the shield.


    I was unaware Magic Crit was un-materiable. That makes the staff seem very appealing.

    20 Magic Crit Rate = 4% on even level mobs. On higher level mobs that % is reduced making Crit Rate a horrible thing to stack in boss fights.

    Get yourself a Lightning Brand and meld it with an INT and get the Grid. Square Shield. That is your best route.

    Shield is legit, but like said before in the thread: Lightning Brand with INT or Electrum with MACC.
