Kaboom! A Guide for Black Mage
Atinian has more magic damage, more magic attack bonus, more magic acc... why is this a question I keep seeing being asked?
[+]
I was able to get Reforged BLM body Spaekona Coat and after casting a few stone spells (4mp) on mobs in Morimar I noticed that I wasn't getting any my back. Does the 2% magic dmg dealt back to mp have a cap up to the cost of the spell? Might as well switch back to my bokwus body for refresh and more dmg.
Thoughts? ^ Nevermind. realized I can't get more than spell cost. Kinda lame now.
It'd be broken otherwise.
Yeah, cuz 100% free nukes are lame. Pffftt

Pffftt I don't see why not when it comes to being MP efficient, that is if other armor slots have lots of MAB and stuff. How potent is Magic Damage+?
I did wildskeeper reives on my mule and want to buy something to send to myself, not sure if i should go with Ixtab for a WAR i hardly play, or the Buremte Hat... I want to get Buremte for Nuking on BLM but as i started opening the menu to buy i noticed i'd be losing Fast Cast some INT Haste (and a list of things) I know 10 Magic Attack beats 10 Magic Damage. But now im not sure if its worth replacing Nahtirah Hat with Buremte hat? Or if Nahtirah is better overall for BLM. (I really feel like its Nahtirah but i'd like second opinion) Buremte Hat is certainly better than Nahtirah hat for nuking unless you're having macc issues. Augmented Hagondes at a certain point- which will change based on your other gear, beats Buremte Hat.
Is Spaekona Coat even worth the upgrade to replace Seidr? Of course has stat vomit but it has 3 less Macc, sadly no MAB or Mag Dmg.
17 Int > 7 MaB so it wins but its not as good as it should be. Im still going to make it cuz i love Blm and free spells. But how much does 17Int beat 7Mab on T1 T2 spells?

Something I wanted, but I looked at it's stats and I think Atinian is better, unless I am using Elemental Seal or need some -enmity. The real question is Bagil Staff or Atinian Staff? Inquiring minds want to know. Atinian easy but Baqil staff is nice for those those jobs that can't equip atinian or a mule or part time blm.... itchi508 said: » Is Spaekona Coat even worth the upgrade to replace Seidr?

But how much does 17Int beat 7Mab on T1 T2 spells? No it isn't. Not yet at least. We are all crossing our fingers for 119 gear though. The comparison of gear varies so wildly it's kinda silly to speculate since most people have such variance in hagondes augments. I'd recommend you go to a lair reive and try different pieces of gear while casting stone 1 over and over. Repeat the process for stone 2, 3, 5, and aja if you can. ouch ouch ouch my poor eyes :((((((
Magic damage is a flat number added to your damage before all other factors. If a naked stone 1 does 500, and you add a piece of gear with damage +10, you will do 510. It's more potent with tier 1 and 2, since it provides a greater percentile increase in base damage than with tier 3+.
At least, that is how it has been explained to me. Stack MAB in ever slot except grip and ammo, where mdmg+ items are simply superior.
Well from my understanding you should use magic dmg where you can for low tier nukes 1-2, and for higher tiers use straight MaB/Int?
Hagondes with decent augment is better than mdmg+ slots. For me, toro cape is always better than bane cape. I also have some luxury items that changes the paradigm.

Having even decent augments will make a lot of pieces way better than alternatives. Can blow nq/+1 stones if you're really set on not spending gil.
Really though, you can spam ***stones and still get pretty high MAB augments. I wouldn't advise skipping out on hagondes.
For augs i have yet to use a +2, only +1s and not many to say the least. I have 17-20 mab on all peaces except feet.
I think like someone said above tho there is no real "best build" atm since everything varies on you MaB Int Macc Mdmg. Everyone has different bonuses and hard to consider what is enough MaB or Mdmg etc. some may experience better results with Mdmg wile others favor MaB. Its pretty confusing atm since its not even worth casting anything above a T2

Out of 24+ +1 stones not a single fing MAB augment so far ugh. Barely anything worth keeping over pdt 3% >.>.....
Sylph.Nikia said: » Ok, i didnt know that, I thought it was +2 or bust. Just looked a bit more, I assume using the NQ stones is best since the pool of augments is lower? Which Hag. items should I try and upgrade? All of them. Evenly. Augment the piece with the lowest MAB. +1 augments can reach the level of +2 augments, it's just much less likely. |
