My bad was looking at wrong piece, and wrong about cap. Without looking at magic acc you have:

Azimuth legs: Magic burst dmg +15, magic dmg+33, mab+58, int+55.
Agwu legs R30: magic burst dmg+9, magic dmg+20, mab+60, int+54.

Agwu legs vs azimuth legs is magic burst dmg -6, magic dmg -13, mab+2, int-1.

I don't see any way for agwu legs to be superior, other than the FC7 on them.

What I was trying to say is that magic burst dmg does a lot more than magic damage since it's a percentage increase.

So agwu legs will effectively drop magic burst damage by 6% compared to empy, even ignoring everything else.

You can't just say "they're the same since they both have it". One has 6% more, the other doesn't.

Also magic dmg+ will start to matter more the lower the tier, so bursting t5->t4 then t3->t<whatever is up> on the next will favour the set with more magic dmg for the lower tier bursts. And recast, of course.


sure, it drops 6%, but you'll already be at 46 MBB using the set posted, so losing 6 that's already over capped does nothing.

Sechs, so you're specifically asking about using agwu legs and feet, as opposed to azi legs and agwu feet correct?

i don't have the app you're referring to, but the setup i use for bursting is as follows

Bunzi's Rod
Ammurapi Shield
Ghastly Tathlum +1
Ea Hat +1
Azimuth Coat +3
Agwu's Gages
Azimuth Tights +3
Agwu's Pigaches
Sibyl Scarf
Hachirin-no-Obi
Malignance Earring
Regal Earring
Freke Ring
Mujin Band
Nantosuelta's Cape

I've seen solid returns on that set, and there really isn't much room for improvement. on the rare occasion where I do need more int, I 'll swap out the mujin band for the metaporph ring, but with entrust int up, that's not usually a problem.

one final bit I'm curious about though, is there a reason you're trying to lock and leg/feet slot together? I can see the mild argument being made for the agwu legs over azi, it's +2 mab in the long run, but when that was asked, you said you weren't talking about that. I think it's pretty well understood that even at lower RP levels, agwu feet are just the superior piece. again, I don't have that app to see what you're talking about, maybe it was just the person who made it and their personal preference for empy gear, or maybe they didnt have agwu.

Technically Azi Legs+Feet vs Agwu Legs+Feet!
With the former lined up as "best" by the app.
But I guess even your combination of Azi Legs + Agwu Feet must be pretty close.

Thanks for the input you provided though! <3

In my first hand experience azimuth legs far out do agwu legs. Azi legs+agwu feet out do any other combination on Sortie targets but are very close to azi legs+azi feet.

Which is where the FC on the agwu set comes in.
I was also going to tell Sechs to split the difference and do azi legs/agwu feet.
