Actually Datruthuhate, unless I did that math wrong, a SMN with max MAB gear (counting augments, Nirvana) 300% TP and MB can break 3k dmg. I've never seen a BLM break 3k, but I'm not a BLM.
Granted this is 1 attack and DoT wont beat BLM but you're statement is still stupid since every job should aim to max every useful thing they have. So saying this is worthless to a SMN when it's the best magic damage neck piece they have is like saying BLM shouldn't own HQ elemental staves cause NQ exist.
The name "Eidolon" was first conceived in FFIX. Later it was used to rename the summons of FFIV in the Nintendo DS remake. Finally, it was used as the name of summons in FFXIII.
I don't see why it is such a bad thing when people decide to spend their gill ~ Making gill right now is kind of hard things that used to sell for millions are very quickly going down in price.
Smn may never be able to outdmg a blm with MAB then again if a blm ever nuked as hard aa a smn right off the bat he would get eaten by the mob, at least in endgame where the smn would just release his avatar, can't wait to get this piece.
