Fiddling with my enfeebling macros and stumbled on this.

In Dark Arts would Praeco Doublet (INT+15 MACC+5) or Scholar's Gown (Enfeebling+15 INT+1) be better?

My gut says the gown for the skill but I thought I remembered INT/MND having a big impact on potency for their respective spells while the skill was for accuracy/duration.

I know there's likely better out there but I'd like my macro's set with the gear I currently have.

Edit: And on that note how about legs for Light Arts? Would Savant's Pants +2 (MND+11 Enfeebling+10 (MACC+15 in LA mode)) beat out the Scholar's Pants (Enfeebling+15)

Depends on the debuff, because para/slow are mnd based (though those are "light" magic). I think more or less the gown is better for the magic acc (especially for things like sleep). This link is good.

As far as legs, yes. Savant+2 are pretty damn beastly.

Savant+2 over Scholar's Pants for all light spells always.

Praeco Doublet for Blind, Scholar's Gown for all other dark spells.

Thanks a lot guys!

Doublet for Blind and Gown for others makes sense. And good to know about the legs, looks like I'll just be using them for Enhancing magic now. Thanks again!

Carrying praeco for blind seems like a waste of an inventory slot to me. I would recommend just using af3+2 body. And yes blind is affected by int, but it caps very soon. I think it is 25(?) after passing the target's...I want to say mnd, but it could be int. At any rate, 160 int should cap you on every thing and 99.5% of mobs are much lower.

BG has no info on it, but ffxiclopedia has the following:

Quote:
Spell accuracy is most highly affected by Enfeebling Magic Skill, Magic Accuracy, and INT.
Accuracy down is calculated with the formula (Caster_INT - Target_MND + 60) / 4, and has a lower floor of -5, and a cap of -20.
By rearranging the equation, we obtain the INT necessary to reach cap. (Caster_INT = Target_MND +20). Therefore the caster's INT must be 20 points greater than the target's in order to cap at -20.

How much of it is proven, I can't say. It's supposedly based on some testing by some JP fellow though I don't think the original info exists anymore.

Ok thx for the info :) i only looked on bg wiki :x but it indeed seems a waste of inv to carry a Preaco for Blind lol. Af3+2 Has 12 INT and 11 Macc. It weaker accuracy then Scholar's Gown but tbh.. i dont even carry that lol I just use Af3+2 or hedera cotehardie when i want some haste

Well the Praeco Doublet also serves for my Slow/Silence/Paralyze body so I can justify it's use on Blind haha. Thanks for the input!
