... so you're still losing out on it.

Like the magic crit with - magic attack acc.

Sure you can counter it with some rings, but now your still losing stats that you could have had added to.

I don't want to get into a gear argument, but as a healer, you don't really need Magic Acc. Compared to all of CON/WHM's current weapon choices, it's the best. Hence best in slot.

I don't doubt that at least one of these new weapons is going to be more useful. Then THAT will be best in slot, furthering my argument that the only reason people will be wearing other gear will be for aesthetic choices.

It's a staff geared toward WHM. What the heck are you going to need M. Acc for when your job is healing and buffing your party? Leave nuking and sleeping to the BLM.

Which is why Whm/Cjn shouldn't have Aero/Stone spells.

lol, then CNJ wouldn't be able to hold its own solo without outside help, and that would be silly. Besides, WHM always had those elements in the classic FF games.

hhmmmmm seems ass backwards to me.

Comparison, take any mage weapon and compare to another. They all have crappy stats or some kind of bonus we don't use on it.

Moogle weapon MP proc on melee and has what 20 Macc?
Vintage Cudgle unslotted has more Mag acc.
Ifrit weapon has ok Magic attack potency, but has extra damage on melee attack. WHHHHYY!? Why can't ad more fire attack potency by a %.

I said that in the context of a WHMs role in a party, where you generally won't be nuking or sleeping. That doesn't mean a CNJ's nuke and sleep spells are useless though, because they're fundamental when it comes to other situations, like soloing.

As far as your weapon examples, not every weapon can be the best. This goes for any class. You asked for a best in slot weapon though which is why Chiran Zabran's Tempest was pointed out. It's the best in slot for a healing/buffing role.

That staff is great and personally i use it when doing content so i am usually not attacking with magic cause i have to keep everyone alive, but when its time to solo i bust out my Ifrits staff for that extra dmg.
