This is my currecnt setup. Any suggestions?? input wanted :D

Use the Str+4 neck + 15 atk. peice. *justice torque?)
Use a eponas instead of 2 thunder
use tocis harness and Ocelemeh head peice
use the dex+10 belt or the one from the last VW boss.
use the NNI feet item or the +10 dex feet from AH.

Been gone like a year so sorry i cant recall most of the items names.
If you know that your atk is capped switch neck piece to that +6 dex neck piece and ammo to that +4 dex bomblet.
and use the Ghille earring +1 instead of pixie, unless again, your atk is capped.
And if youre lacking acc for any content, chances are its got vert high def and you should be using victory smite instead of shijin.
Edit: and if you dont have vere change jobs.



And if you have the GIL to spend and dont need the Byakkos haidate spend money trying to get DEX augment on Byakkos... It took me like 150 scraps to get +2... but i had about 400M and nothing to buy so i aimed for the best. Hope this was helpful.

thanks I'll look into the gear!

If you have any questions just PM me. Id love to help. I know a lot about the job since its the only job ive played since 2005. I have some fun tips for your Spharai too thats not utilized often enough. Just pm me.

Where does str fit into the formula with shijin? Trying to decide if the new legs with 12 str and dex beats byakkos hiadate with aug?

12 dex 12 str on them. It would outdo the byakko's haidate. Expecially if they have atk on them (can't recall and too lazy to check.)
