Below is my current CdC set. I would like some constructive feedback if possible:



For reference, my Almace is level 90 and (obviously) in the main hand.

My feet are currently fail for CdC'ing, which is largelly why I made this post. I am concerned I am nearing a DEX cap so need some some feedback before investing in an improvement. If I can be bothered, I usually pop a Bison Steak before going on any extended playing on BLU.

At some point I am hoping to get an Aias Bonnet for head. I'm debating investing in a Rancor Collar for neck (would this even work with CdC?) if one was ever available. I'm told a snow gorget would we an improvement over Fort Torque as well.

I'm probably opening myself up to "zomg you suck on BLU" but I can take constructive criticism if it improves my gameplay. BLU, PLD and RDM are my three favourite jobs (so finishing my Almace to 90 was a well thought out, well intentioned measure on my part). I realize there are probably some other marginal improvements (Enkidu Mittens versus Alcide +1?) But I am most concern about redundant DEX where I could be improving other stats if necessary.

Thank You in advance.

Let's see...

Aias and/or Moogle hat (for inside abyssea)
Aicide's Mitts +1
Snow or light gorget
Epona's ring
Tumbler Trunks
Lithe boots or Alcide+1

You can also get a pair of jupiter's rings with attack on them if you feel like spinning the "augment roulette wheel".

I have an Epona's now - Would it be preferable to a Thundersoul Ring?

Wouldn't an augmented AMKD head be better than everything else?
Granted, AMKD heads have other uses.

Yeah but I don't like suggesting augmented gear from expansions, since those are user specific. If he already had one, or requested augments for it specifically, then yeah I would.

If you are able to augment Moonshade earring with Atk+4 & TP Bonus+25 instead of dex earring, it would be superior for outside build, and great for SS/RR/Apoc combo.
