Royal Redingote / Selenian Cap For SMN?

Hi,

I'm new to SMN and wanted to ask if these two items are worth it for SMN?
I thought maybe a BP Rage body and haste/DT head?
If these items are any goot for SMN, what augments should I choose?

~thx

macc and mab used to make a decent body, but the af3+2 body is better now. it adds a flat 10% dmg increase i believe. relic body gives more crit, and the attack you can get from it wont do much either. fastcast and enimty - for cures and erase might be the best you can make?

it's probably gonna be better used on other jobs, but if you really want to make it for smn and nothing else, go with one of these...


Pet: Macc/Mab +7, Blood Pact -4

or

Pet: Att +15, Pet: Crit/DA +2

yeah, just realized that af3+2 gives 10% dmg to BPs.

And what about Selenian Cap?

depends on what you want to use it for.

pet: att+3 and regen, pet: att+3 and damage taken -10%. is a good augment for pet tanking.


pet: acc+3 and crit% +3, pet: acc+3 and haste+5% are pretty decent for avatar melee and especially good if you're going to be using a crit body. you might want to swap the acc+3 and haste+5% for blood pact timer reduction if you're just gonna bp and dismiss.

I'm more a dualbox type guy so if I use SMN then it will be for NM tanking I guess.
So for NM tanking the haste+5% and damage taken-10% are good for SMN too?

i think the regen augment is better than the haste augment.

whoa whoa whoa whoa. i just checked your job list, and i see you have a 90 dancer? i highly recommend you get the waltz delay reduction augment on anwig salade. even if it's the only thing you swap when you use waltz, it's going to give a higher boost than anything you can make for smn.

the pet damage taken augment is more beneficial with bst. anything that wont require you recasting your avatar at some point is easy enough that you should go more offensive with your build. in a situation where your pet is taking enough damage to warrant needing the headpiece, you're probably better just running off and recasting before your pet dies. if you need the damage reduction so you have enough time to recast your next avatar, then you probably shouldn't be tanking that mob on smn.

for smn tanking, regen/damage taken augments on the cap for sure, but it should be an anwig with waltz timer reduction. it's the best use of the headpice for the jobs you have.

Thank you very much for your suggestion/input/time!
It's very appreciated!
