What To Improve On My GF's BLM

I'm DD person so i know very little about blm i know what good in some way but i don't know what gear is out there so.


Any gear advice on this nuke setup ?



please note she only swaps staff so a little of swapping is not her but advice for swap gear is still appreciated.


---- EDIT ----
Wrong item in itemset she is actually using Hecate + novio earring
corrected itemset

diamond rings has +2int aug btw

Moldavite, or better, a Hectaes earring for sure. Searing mantle off Turul for back. I believe the 6 INT 2 MAB hat off of dominion trophies wins over AF3+2, but it is probably a small difference. If you spellcast you can do neck and waist pieces dependant on MP%, Moon, weather, and day.

Also, you really need to be swapping for at -least- enfeebles and whatnot. Sleeping in what you have is silly, and an idle set could bump you up a few tics of refresh and give you some PDT for when you are getting wailed on. I personally never understand people who don't make even basic gear swaps..

Moldy earring/hecates instead of whatever that is. Int +7 rings. Magic attack waist, searing sash or the new +4 belt, and searing cape. New magic attack ring.

Edit:beaten. But he priorly said she only changes staves.

Vivid Strap +1 if you have the gil and can actually find one for sale, very minimal upgrade but it's an upgrade none the less. Everything else stated above as well. Hecate's earring is 100% drop, just cost ya 200k cruor for a brew to get it.

Really odd that she has novio and not moldavite.

Pretty sure there is INT/M.atk on the Diamond earring.

I was assuming that as well, but a Moldavite would still beat even the best Diamond earring augs unless they go way higher than I thought they did.

You can get a Novio without leaving Jeuno.
You have to go all the way(lol) to Onzozo and kill a NM 1-??? times to get a Moldavite.

Personally it took me a long time to start doing basic ones, and I keep telling myself I'll make sets of good (or great) ones, but I guess laziness sets in...

To those who play vanilla XI (and even to some who don't) they find it too tedious and would rather just play the game, even if gimp.

Some people don't consider being the best they can be part of "fun" and yeah...

However there's less long-term players of those around still...

whats a good belt for blm? witch sash over cognition?

Main: Varuna's staff
Sub: Elementa strap
Ammo: Witchstone
Head: Goetia head
Body: Goetia Body
Hand: Goetia hand
leg: Goetia leg
feet: Goetia feet or Theuria feet
Neck: Goetia (neck piece)
Back: Searing Mantle
Waist: Searing sash
Earrings: Moldavite earring, Hecate's earring, Novio Earring
Rings: Demon earring 2x with augment MAB and MAC (I farmed my ring at Abyssea Tahrongi Canyon from the gold chests)

Atmas: Atma of Beyond, Minikin M, Atma Ultimate

Consider Artemis' Medal or Genesis Locket for the neck piece. I think everyone has covered everything else.


Witch Sash is alright if you're going for a Crit build, but Oneiros Sash or Cognition Belt will net you the most damage over time.


That grip is doing nothing for you. Bugard Strap +1, Vivid Strap, Wise Strap, or Ossa Grip (for ice magic) - anything but Elementa.

GDI i missed the earring its hecccat + novio

i corrected it mset to this which should be correct

Why MAB 3 when cognition belt got int7 which is 3.5 MAB and helps on landing debuffs right ?

7 INT is nor 3.5 MAB.

Oneiros Sash on waist is about all I would recommend. Otherwise, looks real nice

There is a MAB+5 neck whose name escapes me at the moment, would be great in low-resist situations (same situations you'd use Searing Cape over Goetia). New rings would be a small boost, at least replace the Tamas.

thank you for all the input so far.

I though 1int = 0.5mab hence why buaggard would outperformw wise strap
Which with critate of 3% gives an average of 0.3 or 0.45mab (with the improved critd amage from blm +2 gear)

--- edit ---
she is taru btw with fully merrited int

Genesis Locket.
