Granted I don't know the ins and outs of magic damage, and my inexperience shows in that I don't really know when it's best to gear for max damage, or elemental skill or whatnot. But I come from a melee background, and I know that you'll generally get the best benefit over time by maxing your acc.

Because of this, I don't see any reason what so ever to drop 15skill and 3 int(hq).
For HNM, we can barley hit 320/120 with AF+1 as is, would it be wise to toss the 15skill from 1 slot?
For weaker things like puddings, would 4mab trump the 11int from mahatma? (real question, I don't know)
Adding macc to this when you're tossing 15skill seems like backwards logic, so fastcast ftw?

As far as healing or buffing goes, we've got argute, errant/mahatma and goliard which covers everything already.
Goliard matches -5 enmity, and 4% haste can kind of cover fast cast. Converve mp and the 42hp/mp are gravy.
For anything not important or taxing, you can stand around in argute and charge sublimation faster.

I just don't see this as a great option as a piece to get if you have a different job that can benefit more from these custom pieces.

Some one please educate me if I'm horribly wrong.

with the AF+1, AF2, and Errant body, I will use it for SMN. I'll feel really bitter if they let you double up on the stats to get like MAB +8% or something.

It has the potential to be halfway between Sch. Gown +1 and Morgana's Coat, with Errant/Mahatma and Ixion already in between.

Not much for SCH in this piece except Town Gear, and thank god my SMN can use it too, because coattails are badass.

You should apply the last words yourself.

You know, when somebody restates what you have said; and then compliments what you are saying by backing it up with data: It means they agree with what you say and are further elaborating the point.

Heck, I wasn't even arguing about where it stands as a nuking piece. My beef was with "Rare occasion where we don't get resisted"; which is false as almost all endgame can be done in Full Damage gear.

But hey, good job at using something we both agree with as some attempt at flaming an argument.

I don't find someone completely altering a statement I made to say something entirely different as complimentary or a form of agreement. Granted, you completely contradicted this "correction" as you typed yourself in circles afterward, but that's beside the point.



For the last time, read again..... I said "on the rare occasion you're fighting something that just 'barely resists'". What that means, since you clearly don't understand, is when you're fighting something where the extra little Macc from Redingote will actually help, but you don't need a full skill build, in which case you would be using AF. I never made any statement whatsoever about how often we can use a nuking set and how often we have to use a skill set. You simply created that in you mind and refused to ever read what I was actually saying.....and you even quoted me. *sigh*
