This is an interesting way of analysing a DRG only wep... Also, not sure I would agree with "way more powerful" vs naegling on fencer WAR or Rng with kclub/tpbonus bow/DI arrow.
Point is every other DD prime is a nice upgrade or sidegrade, but Gae Buide is in a different league vs the next best polearm.
War's and rng's Savage is nowhere near Drg's at the same tp threshold. War fencer dps is also nowhere near Drg's unless you pair WAR with DNC's Haste samba. Rng can kinda keep up with dps because it has 1000tp bonus advantage, but it's still behind and neither war or rng can't simply do regular 90-99k Savage without Aria by reaching higher tp thresholds. Also DRG doesn't really need KC or any specific subjob, meaning it can do it on any content.

I also would like to buy a Jinxed Mithra.
Well not buy, but rent

Those weapons are a decade old and work now the same as they did.
Differences are:
* Setan is mostly used for flourish recast reduction during zergs, I think
* Twashtar benefits much more than Terpsi from augmented Nyame gear, but if you don't have that then it doesn't affect the math.
* Terpsi is fun and probably benefits more from Air Knife (you may use Centovente offhand with Twash), but maintaining AM3 is annoying.
If I was getting one of those three today, it would be Twashtar

Those upgrades are basically given so it doesn’t make any sense to NOT get them.
"If you spend a bunch of time farming a pulse weapon you get it for 'free'".
It's not free if you're spending time on it.
Any upgrade in XI is going to cost you time.
Whether it's time spent grinding potpourri while doing other things, time spent farming gil to buy cells or HQ gear or anything else.
Unless you're whipping out a CC to buy gil, of course.

I hope you have been well.
Would love to catch up with you old friend
You bumped an 8 year old thread to ask someone how they were doing INSTEAD of using the PM system?
Are you an idiot?
I love the thread police around here. Go back to reddit.

I'm not sure what you don't understand about RoI. I don't set the meta.
OP asked about which necks are worth +2 over +1 based on their usefulness for the job, not based on job usefulness to meta. Your answer is basically off topic and while being off topic it's also wrong based on your own criteria. BRD neck is amazing and BRD is on top of the meta and you put it in D, same for GEO. Tell me you grew up under Soviet control without telling me you grew up under Soviet control.
The way you think everyone on this forum must post under your T&C is the dumbest ***I've seen in 20+ years on the internet. Have you ever had a psychological analysis to try and understand why you're so pedantic and anal and think the world revolves around you?
Someone asked a question. You answered a different question noone asked and framed it as if it was an answer to OP's question. Ooooor, you're an idiot and got caught being stupid and are now desperately trying to save face. Either way, *** off idiot.

Most, if not all of the JSE+2 Necks are only marginally better than their +1 Counterparts so a +1 or even a NQ will usually do just fine. Abju-1 equipment is just marginally better than its NQ counterpart, so the NQ will do just fine.
Ambu weapons are just marginally better than their NQ counterpart, so dont waste time getting a pulse weapon.
Sortie+2 earrings are just marginally better than its NQ/+1 counterpart, so stop chasing the +2.
lol Bad Take: All of those are free and easily accessible with an Asterisk on the Ambu weapon because of Pulse Weapon; you can Farm a weapon yourself, buy 5 cells to make a weapon or farm up 15,000 potpourri to outright buy one. Those upgrades are basically given so it doesn’t make any sense to NOT get them.
These JSE Necks however are expensive and some folks make Gil much faster or slower than others so if one neck is only providing a tiny performance boost, it’s worth looking at to see if you REALLY NEED IT or if you can just skip it. WHM Neck is a great example, yes the +2 is better but at the end of the day you’re only using the thing for Erase so a +1 or even a NQ will do perfectly fine.

pretty much all primes get switched in and out with other RMEA or naegling as they are only situationally bis.
Same can be said of Kusanagi - that you stop using all other GKs after.
You can stop using them because kusanagi is always up there, but masa is stronger for standard double light (fudo kasha shoha fudo) and doji is stronger for jinpu spam (two common GK use cases).
Its more of DRG being DRG, not only weapon. Naegling and Savage on DRG is also way more powerful than on any other job.

Your tier list is dogshit tho. Regardless of what you think of other people's personalities, it's not even consistent with what you claimed it's based on.
How about instead of random ad hominem attacks, you respond to the points being made.

AF+4 head+feet, rest empy+3 is
Macc 71+56+63+63+63+30 (set bonus for 2 af pieces + regal earring) = 346
CHR 48+38+39+43+50 = 218
Sing 24+22+28 = 74
Wind 15+24+22 = 61
Total: 346+218+74+(61*0.3) = 656.3
and you have the duration bonus from empy body + AF feet.
Is this the winner?
Idk what the absolute best macc is, it might be this set, but personally I have inyanga pants in all my debuff sets. It's extremely unlikely that you will save a resist by adding macc pants, and the extra duration is nice.
Being honest, 99.99% of the debuffs are gonna land without even considering what your macc is. In the super rare situations where your effect is gonna resist, I doubt the extra macc from 1 piece will make a difference often.

Gae buide is S tier - easily the biggest bang for buck of the DD weps. I regularly get a chance to play with multiple prime weps, and pretty much all primes get switched in and out with other RMEA or naegling as they are only situationally bis.
Gae buide is relentless and has a hidden effect that your wardrobe of R15 RMEA polearm now collect dust.

Also your argument that BLU neck is just 7stp or BRD neck is just 3%QA is simply amusing.

Many, most including Mithras. Definitely not Tarus, not my kink.
What was the question again?

My list also accounted for actual use of the jobs. MNK neck is great, but when near no content uses MNK it cannot thus be high impact for investment.
Here we go again. You tier items based on jobs meta again. Among necks OP mentioned were those for NIN BST PUP and SMN and he even mentioned he is doing stuff solo and lowman. Why would you tier necks based on job usefulness in meta then? It doesn't make sense. What makes even less sense is tiring necks based on jobs meta and putting BRD and GEO to C, COR, WAR and WHM to B, Sch on the same tier as Blm, NIN on the same tier as MNK. Also your argument that BLU neck is just 7stp or BRD neck is just 3%QA is simply amusing.

I know everyone is hyped for potential Ultima / Omega, but it's been more than 12 seconds since they released new Caturae.
Now with Fetters!
