Well, now I need to figure out a set. I doubt I'll be using Meteor that often (several blms in my ls's have meteor, so I might get to use it with other blm) but I need to figure out a casting set. Mind, I do have a chatoyant staff, which might do until I can get something better.

Any ideas on gear for Meteor? I could even do a flat +mab staff if that is any good at all for the spell. Tho I wouldn't use it for everything ^^.

A Chatoyant Staff will do little for the overall damage from Meteor, given that Meteor is a non-elemental spell. Its damage is affected by Magic Attack Bonus, INT, and Elemental Magic Skill (despite its non-elemental nature) and your gear should factor into that. Since it is being cast under the effects of Elemental Seal, Magic Accuracy is something you don't need to worry about much at all.

I'll give what is probably the best set right now for Meteor, and you can adjust your gear accordingly based around that. I'll also exclude the BLM mythic weapon, since while it is the best weapon for Meteor, it is also really hard to come by for obvious reasons.

Weapon: Ankylosis Wand (w/ Latent activated), Dorje (other options include Maleficius and the final stage of the INT/MAB Ice Magian weapon)
Grip (when using Dorje): Wizzan Grip, Elder's Grip
Ammo: Witchstone, Memoria Sachet
Head: Nares Cap
Neck: Stoicheion Medal
Earrings: Novio, Hecate's, Strophadic
Body: Morrigan's Robe +1
Hands: Morrigan's Cuffs +1
Rings: Sorcerer's, INT +7 Rings (Strendu to a lesser effect)
Back: Romanus Cape
Waist: Maniacus Sash, Othila Sash
Legs: Akasha Spats
Feet: Morrigan's Pigaches +1

I'll have to see about morrigan's and the akasha chaps and any Nyzul V.2 gear (I'm currently a full AF3+2 blm; delayed doing nyzul v.2 b/c I didn't know who was using illegal tools and who wasn't. Have been doing both Legion and Ein, and I also do Meebles) but I have a witchstone, a novio's, a Stoicheion Medal, a Hecate's, and a Oneiros Sash. I'll see about doing a flat MAB staff since dorje is really stupid high on Quetz. Oh and rings, I normally use a strendu and a icesoul ring. ^^ (Got lucky in vw there; it likes me for accessories, hates me for bodies.)

Tho yah, any affordable suggestions would be welcome. Also I never used the blm latent ring; I've seen blms get KILLED using that so never bought one. ^^

Predominantly you're going to want INT and MAB (moreso the MAB), so any purchased pieces of gear should be heavy in those stats if possible. Empyrean +2 pieces can act as stand-ins during the interim of acquiring those gear pieces I listed earlier.
