Huh? I might be missing something here, but if skill is giving 0.5 macc, and chr is giving 0.5 macc surely it would be better to use the piece that gives you the overall better Macc.

Hence using AF 1 legs over Sha'ir legs for wind based debuffs
CHR is only giving .5 MACC if your CHR is capped. I said if it WASN'T capped, your CHR is doing twice as much as your skill.

Has this been proven anywhere? I'm pretty sure skill gives 0.9 Macc at all times, regardless of cumulative skill.

CHR is simple to cap too. Really it should go Macc > Skill > CHR

And if skill only gives 0.5, it gives the same amount of Macc as chr does

Removed quote train, but you're both right (and wrong). It hasn't been proven anywhere that I know of, but you do get decreasing returns from skill > acc/att for melee jobs as your skill goes up, I would assume it is the same or similar for bard. It's highly unlikely that it is a static 0.9, because ~450 macc from skill alone is not plausible given the degree of resists bards can get. There is no "cap" for Chr where xtra chr becomes useless.
Personally I gear my debuff for MAcc > Chr > Skill

Well I've always tried to follow the 500 skill 100 chr diagram and I've always had favourable resists

I'm pretty sure CHR gives you a static .5 MACC regardless of how much you have

Last I read,
CHR gave 1 macc up until your CHR was 10 higher than your target's CHR, after that point it gave your 0.5 macc.

The thing is you should be stacking chr in the appropriate places, so you dont have to sacrifice in others.

Well I'd always use the Jester cape +1 > Echo / Astute to debuff in, and I'd always use the Gleemans > Marching belt.

But I use AF hands and legs for debuffing in (Other than finale and Lullaby) and I've never had a huge resist problem ever.

I use Errant Houpelande and Nereid rings too, Personally I prefer Nereids than heavens but I think that's more personal preference

That was one of my fiance's first augments. I was hoping for a good augment at the same time and my Haubergeon got Ice+3 >.>

My nereids got - eva, +9 earth (use it on pld for ouryu o.o) and vit/agi+2.
I don't wanna toss either of the last two, and I don't have inv space to warrant getting an extra nereid.
Besides, even with a chr augment, the new Veela ring would probably beat it.
Veela/Omega is the best debuff combo atm i think.

So, the skill of macroing in CHR gear?
EXPing by yourself, learning how/when to swap, when it's okay/not okay to melee, when/how to use JAs properly, dying and getting used to it... everything to help you prepare to actually DO things on BST75.

A person who AFB'd RDM to 75 might be able to get the hang of Refresh/Haste whoring pretty quickly, but they're not about to go out and start soloing ***. Granted, you can easily say "but a RDM doesn't have to!", that's because they're used for other things in endgame. BST doesn't have the luxury of being a high-demand endgame job.

That said, there's no real "rush" to get BST to 75. You're only cheating yourself by AFBing it.

This is where my ongoing assumption that AFB makes noobs comes into play...
Not old players with experience on some jobs... new players without the experience -.-

True, I was just pointing out that they don't necessarily have to do it on BST to get BST to 75.
