Guess I'll be first to say: Situational.

Why is it situational? They have almost the exact same stats. Skill vs. Accuracy is quite literally the same thing...

You must be new here. Hi, I'm Haseyo, one of the site trolls.
Anywho, depending on the latent on the Corona, could be the better of the two. Not to mention would look spiffier, depending on your hearstyle + good against pots and stuff. If you have it, then I'd wear it. It's new, show it off D:

Short Answer: Elite Beret+1 is better.
Long answer: 1 skill equates to about 1 M.ACC, so just based on that fact, Elite Beret would be better. On top of that, skill also increases potency of magic, i.e. Paralyze would proc more with high Enfeebling skill. That being said, if you were a BLM and the MAB was easy to activate, that's what you'd want to go for.

Sure is situational.

Summoning buffs, right? mACC bears no effect, but that skill does.

At least I thought that's how it worked >_>

To me, Elite Beret +1 is useless and Diana Corona is clearly better. Then again, I'm a BLU.

(They gave it the doublet job set instead of the robe job set for people wondering why BLM is missing)

Correct

Wrong

M.ACC and Skill dont play any part in proc rate or slow potency. That is based on your dMND, and an unhealthy dose of random.

Skill/m.acc is only needed to land the spell

This is why you will see some RDM casting slow/paralyze with Errant body rather than AF on 'easy' targets

Yes landing is skill and MACC though ive certainly noticed increase in landing with int... yes even paralyze. That being said it's generally accepted though kinda hard to prove taht skill is slightly better then macc at higher lvls. So if your casting something related to Elite beret yes its better if your casting something else that needs macc that isnt one of those say idk dark magic or blu magic yes diana better. As far as the MAB goes well as a rdm the int and +10skill(not to mention fast cast) on af head probably gonna be better unless you really completely don't need the macc/skill. Now whm nuking nowadays might even be worth while so this might be best for them. Of course assuming its not some total pain in the *** to activate. Know SE i wouldnt be surprised if it only activate say during night time when the moon is showing given the name and SEs Dev teams sadistic tendencies.
