HQ staves for BLM?

For elemental debuffs maybe? Stoneskin? I couldn't see it being better than an elemental staff on a standard nuke.

Kirin's pole is good for Elemental Debuffs in a max INT setup, but I've only ever used it to push my DoT up in something like Excavation Duty.

necropost go! >_>

Kirin's Pole is a MNK weapon (Chi Blast Tool)

Kirin's Pole is for stoneskin and elem dots.

Re: HQ staves for BLM?

As stated, you want Kirin's Pole for Stoneskin, which helps as MND is factored into how much HP you'll absorb with Stoneskin. Same with Elemental dots, though I think its based on INT for how much HP it takes away... or how much stat it reduces.

As for Priority: Dark then Wind... the rest are kinda not worth getting unless you have other jobs leveled like BRD or SMN. There are quite a bit of spells that are Dark element such as Aspir/Drain/Sleep... with Sleep being the very important one! Wind is very situational as I believe you would only use it on Kirin... not sure about anything else. So, considering how often you would nuke on Kirin, Dark surpasses it but it's a good honorable mention.

As I've learned, HQ wind staff is very very good for gravity. This is only really good if you do a lot of low man fights. Since I duo apollyon with a friend, I cast gravity a lot and use this HQ staff quite often.

This post makes me smile.. Good to see other people using items that aren't typically needed on a job for a specific task.

Stoneskin and for braking 150 INT for elemental dots.

you can brake 150 INT without K pole but its hard.

Hehe.. it is particularly tough for us Elvaan. Right now I'm maxing out at 141 as BLM/RDM, using cream puffs and with one INT merit. Capping the merits out will put me at 145.... not that far to go!
