TLDR; what ideas do you guys have of the best nuking sets for DNC/BLM?

---
Hi all, another one of my fun overworld builds I'm working on. I run around DNC/BLM a lot and figured subbed BLM does half decent nukes for random mobs at i119 or below, so was working on a dedicated spell set.

It's mostly the challenge of finding something that beats Nyame since each piece provides about 30-40 MAB, 40ish MACC and 32-42 INT, which isn't amazing for a mage job, but for a melee job it's probably by far the best option.

JSE Cape is an obvious bonus, other little pieces I've found include: Pemphredo tathlum, Friomisi earring, possibly stikini rings? shiva rings might be better. Null loop / waist provide 50 MACC which might be nice, though sure better options exist. None of the JSE really beat Nyame from what I've seen. I think any of the main daggers like Tauret / Twash / Aeneas give some magic stats so can be dual-wielded unlike Gleti's knife.

I've been rolling herc gear for refresh since there's barely any refresh gear out there for DNC, though I doubt it's worth rolling for magic damage on herc, don't think it'll beat Nyame (unless I'm wrong).

Can't think of anyhing else but interested in thoughts (thanks). Again, just for fun, no meta etc.

Maybe augmented metamorph ring +1 beats stikini. Taming sari has 14 magic attack and 12 INT.

No clue why they excluded DNC from malevolence considering all the other jobs on it...

That's basically down to augry cuisses+1 r15 which has a decent mab lead, but loses the burst dmg. Nyame wins pretty much everywhere else for dnc afaik.

I suppose if you're lucky you could get one of the herc pieces to a high enough MAB level to outdo nyame with DM augs, but think there's better uses for those rolls
