Unfortunately. Sort of like the geniuses paying in excess of 1m gil for the 3skill cape.

I had to pay around 700k for mine. Seeing how badly most groups struggle with that NM, I don't think it will be in stock all that much after people get their wins.

Question on Mirage Keff+2. How much of an increase in damage is it vs Aias in HS and QS? I assume its the best thing to cast in except when CA is up. I'm going to get it regardless due to +skill for debuffs.

With CA: +0.85%~1.5% for QS, +0.35%~1% for HS
Withotu CA: +1.60%~2.5% for QS, +0.85%~1.5% for HS

Miniscule difference either way. Both Quadrastrike and Heavy Strike being capable of critting diminishes the small bonus to attack a bit as well, plus I have been suspecting that Quadrastrike increases attack by 50~100% on top of its ability to crit; numbers suggesting a ~33% crit rate with 150TP, however they do not match up with projected damage without a very large attack bonus.

Not related to the question itself, but fun facts nonetheless.

Finally a dedicated Amorphic spikes belt?
http://www.ffxiah.com/item/10834/wanion-belt

I think this is this also a good replacement belt for CDC; Trading 6 attack for 3 base damage.

This should be our best, if not second best by a very small margin, physical spell set. Swap belt out for Warwolf or something for Delta Thrust/QC.

My one reservation about Wanion for CDC is potentially overcapping fSTR, but it's definitely a strong option overall.

STR:
11 sword
3~4 earring (optional), can be swapped to Thunder or Jupiter pearl
13 body
7 hands
5 rajas
6 feet

+15 from braver's
+13~20 from spell set

= 46 + 15 + 13~20 = 74~81

90 Alamce fSTR cap at 14
14 = (dSTR+4)/4
dSTR = 52

with my BLU/WAR base STR : 93, I'll be sitting at 167~ 174
If most of the monster VIT is at max 115, then I'll be overcapping STR for any additional STR gear.

I wouldn't put the highest VWNM's VIT over 125 tbh. Rex's INT seems to be an anomaly.
