  • Sj usage with bcnm 30 earrings

    The bcnm 30 earrings latent effect would be activated when you have the sj corresponding to the earring.

    Check here for info : http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.htm...021999&num=24. Also posted on another thread on this board.

    this lead to some interesting things with SJ.

    war/bst : the +5acc from the earring is pretty nice, also the killer trait are usefull especially if you fight vs insect mobs like flies, cralwers or beetles so mob will be intimidated. Also i heard that using charm does generate some amount of hate and since charm is on a 10sec timer i might be better than boost. On the other side you might get a pissed party is you manage to land the charm, but that shouldn't happen often vs IT.

    war/drg : only thing you will get is jump. Earring has a +5% haste making it nice for using a GA. Don't know if 5% will be better than SA for attacker war.

    war/thf : earring is +2 dex making it nice to have, thf is a potent sub.

    war/mnk : earring is +30 hp, currently it goes for 15k on my server. The bloodbead earring with +25hp goes for 200k, so this one is a bargain for a war/mnk.

    war/sam : +5 parry, good if you're tanking, otherwise not great. Depends what other earring are available at 60 too.

    war/pld : +5 def, pld sub isn't too great, i think the +30 hp from war/mnk is better.

    war/drk : +5 att, i would say bad, +5 att isn't much when you can have over 200 with meat kabob and berserk at lvl 30.

    war/nin : +4agi, goes for around 50k. I would say save your cash and buy drone earrings for 15k each. This is good for thf/nin or rng/nin.

    The nin belt with enhancing DW sounds attactive especially since you can offset this with a viking axe. I don't know if the dmg output at higher levels would be worth it still. Also it's not confirmed yet that the belts activate with the correct sj.

    For the sam belt with extra tp store, if the belt latent effet activate with sj, well i think it's better to use a lifebelt with the great axe since war/sam is only viable post 60, unless you can get the +acc from another source (like haubergeon or haubeurk)
    war 55 - drk 49 - whm 45 - blm 33 -nin 31 - rng 30 - Mnk 25 - sam 21 - thf 19

    This is my opinion.

    No peice of equipment will ever improve someone's stats to the point where that person should go out of their normal sub/race.

    For example; just beacause Galka's RSE gives a bunch of MP+, dosen't make them the best RDM, WHM, BLM nor does it bring them at the same Lv as a Tarutaru. Except maybe for those few Lv's...(Galka WHM's MP was equal to Taru WHM for those Lv's, then, when the Taru started gaining Lv's, he overgrew the Galka's RSE and therefore retained his title for MP king. So, maybe as soon as the Galka got his RSE he was just as good as the Taru, but, the Taru will soon outgrow that RSE and go back to be the MP tank, this same idea applies to us WARs.) now, I'm not racist because I static w/a Taru MNK and my good friend is a Taru PLD, who also I PT w/, and occassionally if I'm able to catch up to my Galkan BLM friend, I'll PT w/him.

    Those BCNM30 Earrings don't, and no other peice of equipment will make DRG sub worthwhile, I mean; hell's yeah I could use some Haste%+. But, will the DRG sub w/the BCNM30 equip ever make me change from my MNK sub? Nope, nope, nope!

    Just because my Hume RSE gloves give DEX+3 and STR+3 it dosen't make me as strong as a Elvaan or, as dextrous as a Mithra, case closed.

    In conclusion, no peice of equipment should ever make someone change their mind about what sub/race they should pick.

    Unless the equipment is uber enough... but, that will never, ever happen, and I'm sure of it.

      Ya, I'm intrigued by these. The /NIN belt is good stuff, also, the prices here on Fairy were like 500k.

      I'd pick up a Grappler's Earring but I very rarely tank.
