@Eremes Mederi Brogues augmented with STR+6 (and if you're lucky, combined with Blue Magic Skill+2) beat these boots out. If you're not a fan of dominion augments though, these are alright I guess.
Not sure why Leviathan.Quetzacoatl (YOUR NAME CONFUSES ME) has been rated down. Mederi Brogues are, indeed, the highest STR boots a Blue Mage can wear, and they would be superior to these for most physical spells.
This is a nice item for gear swapping on RNG weaponskill. It's letting me do more damage w/archery weaponskills than +10 ratt AF2 boots, but it's pretty much only a gear swapping piece for me as RNG as there are much better pieces of EQ to TP in.
And I doubt Marksmanship RNG's would see much HOORAH from this piece though, due to the fact Sidewinder uses Str + AGL WSC mods, vs Slugshot's only AGL mod... it might be like a mini-hoorah.
But all in all, it sounds like BLU can use this for some important things, so it's certainly worth the 40k spent to buy them! (On Gilga AH)
These boots go great in combination with Delta Thrust (Plague effect). Giving your mob less TP + -10tp/tick Plague and they'll probably never get a TP move off.
Not sure where you all are looking, but these are the highest STR feet a BLU can wear. These are arguably great Benthic Typhoon shoes, assuming your fSTR isn't capped; in the case, there are higher AGI feet out there.
