How to gear BLM best

[Churchill]

Problem is, if I change out my choker my MACC goes under cap, and I'd have to change foods. As it is, I'm using Crowned Cakes which give me 34 MATT, instead of just 10/25LIT.

Crowned cake gives 34 mab, choker gives 35. I think choker is a bad choice, but logic goes with choker if you're worried about mab.

Also saw that someone claimed MAB is 1:1 for Thunder/whatnot and that isn't entirely accurate.

In fact, every monster is different and you'll see a different return for fighting Coincounter vs. fighting Darnus vs. fighting Darnus(Hard) etc.

A parse done for Darnus showed MAB to be worth 0.47/point in a MAB build, and INT to be worth 1.24/point in an INT build. That's really the only data anyone has posted for boss mobs, but from other testing (On R52 mobs) MAB has a different yield, and I imagine INT would as well.

MATT 568
MACC 450

seldom see resist even using crown cake

Okay, I finally got the last piece of BLM gear that I plan to use until I get a Relic. Currently my stats are, with buttons:

INT 371
MIND 261
PIE 262
Attack Magic Potency 521
Magic Accuracy 477

Other Stats
Emnity -38
Magic crit +84

And here is my gear
Main: Lightning Brand with +23 Magic Accuracy
Grid shield
Felt Cavalier's Hat +1 with +49 INT
Grid officers coat
Raptorskin Satchel Belt +1 with -33 emnity
Boarskin Ringbands +1 with +84 magic crit
Woolen Tights with +12 INT and +12 Mind
Spruce Pattens +1 with +25 Attack Magic Potency

I wish I could get the militia body piece, but this is what I plan on using till the level cap get increased or I get better dropped gear. Any critiques or suggestions?
