Owleyes and Geotia body for idle, chrysopoeia torque if you have a regain source. Dark skill is sometimes needed to land stun when resistance builds (caturae in prov).

Gladr Ring is nice, but I managed to get a Demon's Ring with MaB +3 and Mag crit damage +2%. This is not easy to get, took me days of gold box farming for Glavoid pops but still might be easier and arguably better esp. with Nares Cap + Hecates

I would put haste over fast cast on the prioity list for Stun it does a lot more for recast until you cap.

And why do I see people talking about things like maniacus sash and saevus pendant for best nuking gear and not mentioning Romanus cape?

It's easily better damage than a searing cape if you can live with the Addle +6%, unless there's something I'm missing.

*Possible Necro*

If I don't have a pair of augmented Valkyries trews, is there any other alternative that's still better than Goetia +2?

Relic Pants +2 should be the best there are aside from a well augmented Valk/Shadow Trews.

MAB +5 & INT +5 beats MAB 7 and MAC 7 in terms of dmg. Only reason to keep Goetia +2 legs is if you're still nuking in the body (assuing you have 5/5 nares) and you'd rather have the recast bonus and chance the +2 proc over the INT stat bonus from the Nares set.

I think it'd be like this...? Would need people to come in and clarify, but if wiki's right about Elemental Celerity II (@lvl90) being -25%, then with this set and Dark arts, should be at 68%.
I'm stupid.

72% Fast Cast on nukes without Dark Arts Active, if you have Dark Arts active you'll want to remove the Ring/Earring/Neck to bring you down to 75%, if you have a slow computer, you'll want to take the cape out too so you don't cast your nuke in your fast cast gear.

Elemental Celerity V @90 BLM is 30% fast cast.

Could Magavan Mittens + Nebula Slops +1 be more fastcast?

Also, Prolix Ring, Witful Belt, Jeweled Collar.

Or does it cap at 68% lol D:

Nah, 80% is the cap, just tired and couldn't think of anymore FC gear, don't know how I forgot Prolix ring though. <_< Witful belt would be bad, cause of the instacast chance, don't want instacast, just want fast cast!

How good does Wizard's Coat +1 hold up, in the enfeebling department? I just got my Yarn from Apollyon and I'm debating for either body or legs. Eventually (and if lucky) I'll get both, but for now I was thinking the Coat would be more important.

Bear in mind that I have no access to gear beyond Abyssea, so I am not factoring in VwNMs, NNI or Legion stuff.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I would honestly do neither.

Goetia Coat +2 covers your enfeebling, with a measly 1 macc less than Wizard's +1 for the bargain price of inventory +1 and the legs offer virtually nothing over the NQ, where the main draw is the Dark Magic Skill that is equal on both pieces.

Well I knew about the tonban, but it was more about having both the items needed and having an overflow of Anc. Beastcoins (that I have no other use for). I guess you're right, I'll do the body first, since I haven't gotten the Goetia Coat (+1 nor +2) yet.

Thanks for the input!

I posted this in random question thread but got no response so trying here.

I'm curious to know, if Sorcerer's Tonban +2 loses it's 5% same day/weather bonus over n.q. should I get another pair of n.q. to use when the bonus would apply (the game would allow me to own n.q. and +2) or would the +2 outperform anyways? Also if I could only have one piece of Nares gear would the hat still be the ideal option for the slot? Thanks in advance.

That's what I did. I stored my NQ with the Porter Moogle, and did Qufim to get another set, which I +2'd. That's what I currently use for nuking, while switching to NQ for Day-bonus. Also I think Sorcerer's Tonban +2 is better than AF3+2 legs? Not sure, but I just went for the one I had an easier time to obtain with what I had available.

Good luck!

Necro again (I think).

I don't play blm a lot, but I would like some advice on my nuking set, since I've been farming mainly morrigans +1 in salvage II, I'd like some advice on which pieces should be used in a nuke set as opposed to nares pieces etc etc.

What I'm getting at is I'm looking for a nice bump in the right direction if possible, thanks :)

Here's what I'm using at the moment~

The Taubran Cape from the new Meebles is a better choice I think for back. Then the Skrati Grip is a plus to the Wizzan Grip.

you don't use the elemental obis? But the new meebles legs that came out ~6 months ago or so are very nice

I never farmed them, I never even thought about them to be honest lol
It's something I can do in my free time though, I would assume the same for Twilight cape as well then?

Also Sorc Ring. +10 MAB can't really be beat in the finger slot.

I assume your Diamond ring is aug with +3 Int and +2 MAB. Sorc ring beats either one of those.

Erlene's notebook, Taubran cape, twilight cape, elemental obis, morri feet+1, akasha chaps, maniacus or othila and strendu/sorc ring or zodiac/sorc ring depending on if weather up or diamond/sorc if in a situation where using sorc ring is unfavourable. 3 int and 2 mab on a diamond ring dont exist, 3 int max to make 7 int or alternatively there is the galdr ring also.

Besides I already posted the current max dmg build in another thread.
