AF2+2 as a nuke set:
128 MP
23 -Enmity
43 Ele Magic
10 MAB (weak)
18 INT (weak)

AF3+2:
100 MP
16 -Enmity
15 Elemental Magic Skill
23 MAcc
25 MAB
25 INT


My initial reaction is that's a whopping load of meh, let's go piece by piece:

Head: Slightly more base MP and nuke potency than AF3+2 at the cost of 1 -Enmity and set bonus.

Body: Slightly more Elemental Magic MAcc and -Enmity than AF3+2 body at the cost of a lot of nuke potency and set bonus.

Hands: 3 more Dark Magic Skill than AF2+1, but still less nuking MAcc than AF1+1. MB boost TBD but I never personally bothered.

Legs: They removed the day/weather correlation bonus. THEY REMOVED THE DAY/WEATHER CORRELATION BONUS. Moving on, slightly more nuke potency than AF3+2, more -Enmity than AF3+2, at the cost of a 10~ MAcc.

Feet: Less nuke potency than AF3+2, 5 more Elemental Magic accuracy.

TL;DR: AF2+2 weak sh*t, up your hands for dark magic set.

I agree, this update is pretty lackluster.



I noticed that too. Do you think they really removed it, or was it just left off of the post on BG? I still carry these around with me for that sole purpose.

I don't know the specific details, but I recall reading that the method used to scan the dats doesn't show effects that weren't modified (or something like that), so there's a very good chance that the bonus wasn't removed.

That being said, I'm a loser and haven't bothered with Spellcast yet, so it wouldn't affect me much even if it was removed. We nuke so damn fast now that I sometimes have trouble even hitting a macro mid-cast to equip my elemental day/weather gear.

af+3 will be trade af1+2 and af3+2 to get af+3

Looks like a few Goliard +5 pieces will topple Goetia +2. All good things must come to an end, hopefully at least 2 pieces stay legit so the set bonus may live on~

Goliard as a nuke set:
21 INT
33 MAB
22 MAcc
-10 Enmity
5% MCrit
5 Conserve MP
10% Fastcast
10% MP

AF2+2:
128 MP
23 -Enmity
43 Ele Magic
10 MAB (weak)
18 INT (weak)

AF3+2:
100 MP
16 -Enmity
15 Elemental Magic Skill
23 MAcc
25 MAB
25 INT

Best mix-n-match looks like Goliard Head, Body, and Feet, Goetia +2 Hands and Legs. Goliard hands beat Goetia hands by a small margin, but I'd rather have at least a little AF3+2 set bonus in my life. Happy about the -Enmity on body, always thought SE should put a little -Enmity everywhere instead of asking you go out of your way and sacrifice potency.
