For my Stormwaker nuking set I was using 2 pieces for legs and feet:
Legs: Desultor Tassets with Pet: Macc+7
Feet: Pantin Babouches
Now I've been wondering about other gear.
Legs: Cirque Pantaloni +1/+2 vs Desultor Tassets. Basically Magic Skill (which should provide both accuracy and damage?) vs Macc.
Feet: Cirque Scarpe +1/+2 vs Pantin Babouches. Basically Int+X vs Mab.
I have no clue if these things work for our Automaton the same way they work for, say, a BLM or a RDM, but we can assume they do? And if they do then Cirque (even just +1) should always be better than Desultor and Pantin, right? Anybody did some tests or math about this?
