DRK37 and

3 Anniversary Ring charges and one Empress later, 37!
Soloed 32-34, made my own gimp NIN DRK/NIN SAM/WAR BLM RDM(later BRD) WHM party. Selling all of my old DRK shit and Blessed hands (which was sitting in my MH anyway) got me a pair of Mahatma Pigaches. With this sale I ended up taking my AF head out of my MH and buying a 2k Ajari Necklace. Rounding my total MND+ to 50.

As of 7/1 (holy fuck its July), normal Curing gear.



Main: Templar Mace
Sub: Nmn. Shield+1
Ammo: Fortune Egg =(
Head: Nashira Turban
Neck: Beak Necklace+1
Ear1: Novia
Ear2: Loaq.
Body: Noble's
Hands: Hlr. +1
Ring1: Ether Ring
Ring2: Tamas
Back: Rainbow Cape =\
Waist: Penitent's rope
Legs: Blessed
Feet: Mahatma

Head: To be fair, and on a budget. Errant/Mahatma head is technically better than Nashira Turban. Ugly as fucking sin, but still better. Why? Nashira only offers Enmity-5 and MACC+5 (for stun). Whereas Errant/Mht. offers MND+3/4 AND Enmity-5/6. It's a nice little debate, but I'd still keep the Nashira because it's free and not as fucking hideous.

Ammo: Hbomb. I'm too poor, deal with it. Next best thing is a Holy Ampulla which is MND+1 and like 3 MP less. Not worth buying, definitely worth camping.

Neck: Only thing I'd ever replace it with for normal curing would be the new Einharjer thing. But thats Einharjer, so fuck that in the butt.

Body/Legs: Obviously HQ would be "better"

Ring: Serket/Vivian/Vilma would be better.

Back: Errant capes are cheap! For now, Errant > Miraculous > Rainbow

Feet: The reason why I chose Mahatma Pigaches over Blessed pumps +1 is simple. Pigaches offer 3 great things, MP MND Enmity-. More MP, More MND, 1/2 less Enmity (but thats really negligible). AF2 feet is mediocre to cure in, same with Cure Clogs. Overall, its the best feet for my case. Marduk would be optimal for this, but thats salvage, and I'm not that homosexual like Aurik and Wafik.


Cure V

Based on my lolCalculations (ffxiwiki's setup). Add the [boxes].
Healing Magic (291/3) [97] + MND (78+50) * 1.5 [192] + 430 +20% = 862.8.

Based on this gear
Carbon copy of my healing gear with Ajari and AF head swapped in for the +50.

Ammo: Ampulla would be prime for this, but at the same time I really don't feel like macroing in and out an Hbomb.

Head: AF+1 all the way, +3 more MND and hMP+1 = :D
Neck: Einharjer would be nice to keep in for this, but Ajari is best for now.
Ring1: Aqua.
Back: Miraculous because it's cheaper than Prism.
Feet: Optimal would be Marduk, but again, Wafik and Aurik, tsk tsk.

If I had my "optimal" gear I should be at.

97+210+430 * 22% = ~900.

Which is presuming I don't merit MND and Healing Magic.

On a side note: Lakshmi is quiet, too quiet.
