voltsurge/orunmila/psycloth lappas are all fairly accessible and better options for fc, and amalric doublet can be obtained fairly easily as well- i've 3 boxed it geo blm sch with 3 trusts in a couple of minutes.
Also I did tests versus NQ amalric and found that amalric feet/body are pointless for death compared to my Merlinic Jubbah with 26 MAB/7MB and crackows with 30MAB/10MB for my alt.
Also Mephitas's Ring (+1) is better than Mujin Band, supposedly (and I think would make more sense than switching Seshaw +1 out for Bane Cape)
That being said, now the precast/idle sets need to be amended to account for the extra 110 MP. Here's what I went with
Don't have Etiolation Earring, I forgot it existed until the other day. 2057 MP
ItemSet 340343
2059 MP
ItemSet 340353
2059 MP
ItemSet 340342
2098 MP
ItemSet 340344

It's important to note that just using those sets alone can possibly still reduce your MP due to the order in which they are equipped. This can be avoided by setting up priority on which gear gets swapped first(the order the gear is listed has no influence and what's swapped first/last)
Example of a precast using priority to maintain 2122 MP(you'd need to do this for idle/precast/midcast): Code
sets.Precast.FastCast = {
main="Lathi",
sub="Niobid Strap",
ammo="Ghastly Tathlum +1",
head={ name="Merlinic Hood", augments={'Mag. Acc.+21','"Fast Cast"+6','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+12',}},
neck="Orunmila's Torque",
ear1="Loquac. Earring",
ear2={name="Etiolation Earring", priority=2},
body={ name="Merlinic Jubbah", augments={'Mag. Acc.+9 "Mag.Atk.Bns."+9','"Fast Cast"+7',}},
hands={name="Otomi Gloves", priority=6},
ring1={name="Mephitas's Ring", priority=5},
ring2={name="Mephitas's Ring +1", priority=4},
back={ name="Bane Cape", augments={'Elem. magic skill +3','Dark magic skill +2','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+3','"Fast Cast"+5', priority=3}},
waist="Witful Belt",
legs={name="Psycloth Lappas", priority=1},
feet={ name="Merlinic Crackows", augments={'Mag. Acc.+4','"Fast Cast"+5','CHR+4',}}}

Slightly off-topic, but since you probably copypasta'd it, you might want to know about it: You misspelled etiolation earring.
#spellingnazi /edit: QQ, he ninja fixed it! Curious, but would Niobid be better than Alber for Death? 5 macc and 20 more MP for the loss of 2 MAB.
It is, I just use Alber now for the PDT during Mana Wall purposes. Niobid is technically better.
Thanks for all the advice from everybody. Want to maximize my BLM for endgame, so appreciate any and all information.
I'm going to try and work on updating some of this guide on my next day off work. I don't have the newer gear for my blm yet to test it all, but I'm sure if i screw something up one of you will kindly correct me. xD

How does that compare to MAB?

It adds to the base value of the spells cast. High tier spells have such a high base damage already its not good unless you're using really only tier 1.
100 base damage + 10 magic damage is a 10% increase for a theoretical tier 1 1000 base damage + 10 magic damage is a 1% increase for a theoretical tier 5 Numbers are way off but the point is made. Okay, so in general MAB is still better than Magic damage?
Fenrir.Ramzus offered to update sets as well I saw a couple pages back
I would definitely need a helper (preferably Ejiin, if he wants to) if I were to start maintaining this page, though.
I wouldn't mind helping too ofc. It'll be easier to maintain I think once it's actually updated since it's so far behind lol..
I'm more than happy to provide input and help answer anything, but in terms of keeping a guide updated and current, I'm already failing at that task quite miserably with the WAR guide ;_;
How does this look for a High Tier Nuke Set? Can adjust just wanted to discuss. As I said previously - just came back, so kinda rusty.
ItemSet 340445 Ejin~ Update your war guide Min needs to copy it when he's done with Whm xP lol
Priority on AF, Relic, and Empy to 119? I have AF coat to 119, now looking for the next. AF feet? Relic gloves, Empy legs? Or is everything basically out-classed now? Maybe some niche enfeeb/dark?
@Forsake I'll send some itemsets your way when I get home tonight to use for the guide, and whoever can amend any mistakes I've made or items I've over looked
What path is used for Amalric HQ body? Keeping in mind it would be used to death.
On page 22 I put sets for precast and normal nuking if you want to use them.. Best in slot could be some of the HQ abjuration pieces but the set I posted is easy for a casual player to procure. I will post my myrkr set as well when i have a few minutes.
ItemSet 340454
Of course HQ abjuration for legs would add more mp. Lathi is path with mp and mab. Otomi, kaabnax, and psycloth boots and orvail with MP augments Moonshade with mp/tp augment. This is what I currently use. Have a spectrum of free nuke and magic bursts sets- obviously they aren't absolutes if you don't have all the pieces, just a guideline. I may have gotten some of the lower quality sets wrong so feel free to correct me if I over looked better alternatives. Explanations for each set can be found on the itemset page itself.
HQ: Access to all the best pieces in the game NQ: Access to all endgame content pre-Reisenjima T3 Standard: Access to everything pre-Ru'Aun T3 Low Quality: Have dabbled a bit in Ru'Aun (i.e. Warders/T1s) but nothing past that. Starter: Haven't done much outside of Skirmish
Edit: if someone wants to do lower quality sets, I would be very grateful because I will probably kill myself making like 7 tiers of sets for every situation

Oops, did the OCD thing. Have some more sets
[+]
jesus christ that is a cluster *** even with tables. feel free to use what you want for the OP and then i'll clean out whatever is not used afterwards.
For Myrkr, if you really want to min-max the crap out of it, dualism collar +1, Weatherspoon robe +1, psycloth boots, and TP bonus Moonshade should win out over other options.
How does metamorph ring +1 compare to Globidonta? 25% death burst set is a new thing?
