For example should I be using Balder’s Earring +1?
I'm not sure why's Balder’s Earring +1 is brought up, because I don't remember I ever recommend it. I even went back to the guide and made sure it wasn't in it. ;/
But yeah, it's a 70m earring that consistently lose to dedition 90% of time depending on sam roll values. Even during single wield when 2nd ear isn't suppa it still frequently lose to brutal depending on sam roll values.
And when it finally win because Sam roll value somehow hits that magical number, it's like 20 DPS ahead...
I'd rather donate my gil to returning player or spend them on hq food for better DPS than paying 70m for that earring lol.
