While we're (kind of) on the subject of min/maxing Elemental Siphon, has anyone looked at Ligeia Sash over Lucidity/Kobo?

Ligeia sash is a 1 mp improvement over kobo obi. I tested it just in case it had a different effect from other types of +siphon gear and then dropped it immediately.

I have JSE from oboro and didn't know if it was even marginally better because SU5 just plain looks cool to me.

Would Glyphic pigaches +3 (relic feet) be a viable option for physical BP? It offers no DA or BP damage but the attack on them is massive and a good amount of acc too. Just started smn so i know little about it yet but are trying to learn
In underbuffed situation maybe, and for BPs where fTp don't transfer. Where's 1Bp~2,5mab, 2,5atk isn't counted as any BP multiplier. Start with af+2 feet, and since campaign started easy to get cards.

For max ward buffs / 21 second BPs, is there a set that isn't expensive as getting all +1 Baayami? Really don't wanna spend up to 150+ mill.

ItemSet 366354
But involves staff changes, which only is an issue with AM³ up.
Since ward duration is based of smn skill, max duration is the +1, but can get close with the NQ set.

You don't need all HQ baayami to hit 21s. In fact it's even easier to hit that tier than ever thanks to the new DI earring. Also max ward duration and 21s BP timer isn't the same thing. For my BP precast I use empy head, baayami body legs and HQ feet, espiritus, evokers ring, stinkini ring, Cait and andoaa ear, and another piece or two I can't think of atm. I'm sure there are sets posted around the smn forums if you look around.

For wards I use max skill and empy head for the bonus to favor tier. Ward gear and precast gear is basically the same gear. You don't need a ton of skill to cap out alexander duration if that was one of the things on your mind but more skill will add to the duration of some of your other wards such as hastega. You can max out 21s precast at a certain skill tier and adding more won't reduce that further (as of now) but it will keep your wards up longer if you want. Since you don't want to HQ the full set (and you really don't need to anyway) just aim for enough to hit the 21s tier. Before you only needed one piece of HQ gear but now you may not need any at all. Sorry I can't give you a full set of minimal to obtain gear. This is my precast / ward set.

I literally started playing SMN like 3 weeks ago. I've been slowly building, and there are a few items I still need to get. But, based on what I have, kindly provide tips on the following gearswap file:

-- Also, you'll need the Shortcuts addon to handle the auto-targetting of the custom pact commands.
--[[
Custom commands:
gs c petweather
Automatically casts the storm appropriate for the current avatar, if possible.
gs c siphon
Automatically run the process to: dismiss the current avatar; cast appropriate
weather; summon the appropriate spirit; Elemental Siphon; release the spirit;
and re-summon the avatar.
Will not cast weather you do not have access to.
Will not re-summon the avatar if one was not out in the first place.
Will not release the spirit if it was out before the command was issued.
gs c pact [PactType]
Attempts to use the indicated pact type for the current avatar.
PactType can be one of:
cure
curaga
buffOffense
buffDefense
buffSpecial
debuff1
debuff2
sleep
nuke2
nuke4
bp70

Wot,
Dumb question: My summoning magic skill tops out at 694. Is that too much? Like...is there a cap that I can't pass, like Haste or Curing Potency?

Every 1 skill over 300 is +1sec to duration. But for precast 670 is atm "cap" for 21 sec. Next Favor tier as probably somewhere around 750 skill which we cant reach. And BP Ward Cure potency is based of Avatar Max HP/TP

It's gonna take me a while to get the Beckoner's set. I only have the feet for now. TH seems broken today in Abyssea. Collecting papers is proving difficult. I confess I have a difficult time comprehending WHAT I'm reading in terms of the mechanics of SMN, but I'm working on it. I do have Merlinic Dastanas, which I added in shortly after my last post, but the BP augment is only like 5. It's still, altogether, better than my Apogees for BP. Also, I carry multiple sets of Apogee gear. I have 2 each head, body, and hands.
Only need one set of apogee which is for magical / hybrid BP. Helios is better for physical blood pacts plus it doesn't tank your hp.
Dont need the Beckoner's Set either, Head/Feet is good enough. Where head is most important.
How are people valuing the augmented Assiduity Pants these days? I was gonna do some cursory tests with Nether Blast or something to see how valuable the raw stats+ are.
As far as I can tell, the augments are pretty much 100% irrelevant since any BP you would use would have different pants on.
[+]
Wind's Blessing is really the only BP to use them on, as far as I can tell, because it has a mod on Pet:MND.
I wouldn't use it for magic accuracy, Convoker's Spats +3 are Pet:MAcc+65.
Edit: If you already use the pants in your idle build, it also gives VIT+20 AGI+20 MND+20 INT+20 to the avatar which is a nice little bonus to their pathetic defenses. It doesn't substitute for a proper Pet:DT build though, and I still use Enticer's Pants in that build for the Pet:DT-5%.

Well not just Nether Blast, but I should also check out the BPs that have multiple stat mods.
I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing this.

I mean pretty much all Rage BPs have a mod of some kind.
The question is, will the INT+20 or whatever other +20 stats from Assiduity Pants +1 beat the stats on alternatives, such as Enticer's Pants BPDmg+12 TPBonus+650, or Apogee Slacks +1's BPDmg+17 Pet:MAB+35?
The answer is no. Not even close. You're welcome to test it to confirm, but I can already tell you the results won't even be close. BPDmg and other multipliers are just way too strong.
It would be like a melee DD choosing STR+20 over WSD+12% and TPBonus+650 for their WS, or a RNG choosing STR+20 AGI+20 over WSD+17% MAB+35 for Trueflight. Most classes would kill for the kind of bonuses we have available for our Rage BPs.

But the TPBonus is only effective on magical BPs no? Wouldn't something like Rush benefit more for the stats in this case?
TP bonus effect most if not all BP:Rage, however Leg slot where we get access to TP bonus, Apogee Slacks with it stats are better.
Yeah like Wotasu said, for Rush you want Apogee Slacks +1 path D. (23 BP Dmg and 4 Pet:DA.) fTP carries on that BP, just like Volt Strike, so Pet:DA is pretty good. Even if those slacks didn't have Pet:STR+20, they'd still beat Assiduity by miles.
Those Rage BPs which don't benefit from Pet:DA tend to benefit from TP Bonus. Those that don't benefit from either (which is mostly just Flaming Crush) still benefit massively from BP Dmg, and again, Assiduity Pants has none at all. And all those stats are damage multipliers, which is very important.
It's the same discussion that happened when people thought Glyphic Pigaches +3 would be great for Volt Strike because of all the pet:attack. Raw stats just don't compare to large quantities of a damage multiplier.
