I'm currently weighing my options in regard to Shantotto gear. The jobs I have to think about are Rdm, Blm, and Mnk. All have fairly decent gear, Byakko haidate and Mahatma slops for example. I do salvage so I wouldn't want to create a piece that would be replaced by salvage gear in time.
I have a d.legs abjuration that I was waiting to uncurse until after the gear from Shantotto was released. So these are my choices:
1.)Dex2 Agi2
Attack7 Accuracy7
2.)Int2 Mnd2 Chr2
Movement Speed 8% Physical Damage Taken -4%
3.)Int2 Mnd2 Chr2
Cure Potency+5% Mp+25 Enmity -4
If I pick any of the mage pieces I'll be getting Shura Haidate +1. So the real choice is how would the Shantotto legs compare to Haidate +1 for mnk? I assume they would be a bit better for AF considering how little STR modifies that WS.
Thoughts?
