Grips?

I'd use Pax or Magic crit grip. Pax grip actually gives the biggest boost for a grip (-4 enmity). Ppl shouldn't underestimate that. Can easily cap Enmity - with full af3+2 set and this grip and vates cape and MM atma. But who isn't a number freak..

So is the magic crit. 3% grip good to use?
Get a grip.....
sorry. No, as 3% of the time 10 mab bonus is not impressive very much
Stacked with AF3+2, Hecate's earring etc, maybe?
you're still only pushing towards a 10 mab a partial amount of time if i understand magic crit hit correctly.
alone that grip is 3% chance at 10mab. you'd be better off with int buff I use the Wise Strap full-time. You may get some criticism but nobody is perfectly geared and I try to stack magic crit. personally

I've been using the 8 elemental grips for quite awhile but i've never seen a real need to replace them. I've seen blm use the pax grip and the elemental + 3 grip from time to time. I've thought about getting the elemntal grip but trading 20 mp just for 1 more magic acc didn't seem good to me so I never got it but I could be wrong about this. plz tell me what grips you use for your nuking sets and why so I can get an idea of what I need for myself. To be honest, I don't think choice of grip has much impact on BLM performance. So, use whatever you want. I use Elementa Grip for nuking and Macero Grip for enfeebling. This. I still have my dark grip. Honestly, it was with a huge sigh of relief when I sold off my collection of elemental grips. The elemental grips are perfect for the lower level mage, but honestly aren't necessary at higher levels anymore. There's a lot out there to choose from, you just have to look at your needs and skills. i use the magic crit grip. witch sash, af3 gloves, and hecate's all add crit. wearing a 1 int grip isn't going to do anything for you, especially in abyssea.
Bugard Strap +1/Vivid Strap +1 for nukes*.
*Elementa/Elemental Grip(s) if you're going to resist. Macero/Elemental Grip(s) for Enfeebling. Caecus/Dark (or Thunder for Stun) Grip for Dark Magic (Caecus being potentially better for Bio due to its tier system) Reign Grip for anything you need MND+ on (Stoneskin/Cures are the first things that spring to mind for me, though Stoneskin is a push now with so much MND+ and Enhancing Magic+) Grips are like staves, none of them should be "full timed". EDIT: Wise Grip is a suitable choice for nuking too, but not one I would personally go with. I prefer consistency over potential, but eh, I doubt anyone would care much if you did. EDIT #2: I just re-read Hevans post and I agree that inside Abyssea 1INT won't do much (for some reason I always forget about Atma and Cruor buffs XD), Wise Grip will probably work out better over time. |
