Returning

Hey guys,
Just returned a month or so ago, and decided to dust off my blm. I see there is the new Chatoyant staff. I have completed the Ice dmg staff, and am about half way through the thunder dmg staff. Wondering how these compare to to C. Staff? I have not, as of yet, used blm for anything that I have to worry with resists on, because I have a geared whm for that stuff. So mostly interested in the dmg aspect vs the magian staves.


Also, trying to rewrite my blm xml, and I can't remember the rule to lock the goetia sabots in the feet slot if mana wall is active, lock it through any other rules/gear changes.


edit: Forget the first part of the post, the first time around I missed the post asking that question already. Could still use some help on the xml question though.
