Apocalypse Nigh earring.

If any of you wouldnt mind, I dont have the bandwidth to access somepage.com-
Could someone post the stats on the earrings and the details of the BCNM?
Thanks ;)
 
I hesitate to give BCNM details because of spoilers, but suffice it to say that the requirements are that you need ZMs complete (ALL ZM, not just sky access), CoP complete, AND you have to have done the forst Bahumut fight.

Here's the earrings:

I say get the etheral earring. It's so godly for pld and on blm if you get hate you lose 3% less hp and gain mp if you macro it in.

You also need to do a quest that requires you to go back into the original three promys to check a point at the top.

Stats.
 
MP is simply not a concern for BLM, we can get MP back quickly. BLM wants to get max damage per nuke and lowest resist and hate possible.

Blms wants max dmg per mp spent, I think that is a better way to put it. That's why whms don't nuke, we have a poor dmg/mp ratio on anything except undead (which we can equal blms on). The static earring increases the dmg side of the ratio during mbs while the magnetic with its conserve+ will decrease the mp side all the time.

Like Fire gets into, it is a extremely situational piece, and difficult to macro in. Short of creating a seperate macro(s) solely for mbs, you either have to do it manually or screw up your normal equip setup.

There is no way static would surpass moldavite. Moldavite is +5mab all the time, every time.

I thought someone who got it on this board said it didn't actually reduce the dmg taken. Anyway, 3% is insignifigant for a blm. If a blm takes 600 dmg he's nearly dead and only got 18 mp out of it, not even enough for a cure 2. Good for tanks who take dmg in large amounts all the time. Worthless to everyone else.
 
Wait until the expansion when all the job changes occur and possibly level one of the new jobs before choosing your earring =)

The OP is a high PLD as well as a high BLM. I'm pretty sure that's why they were looking at the etherial...

Yeah I know, but I was specifically responding to a statement by Eulore...the part I quoted.
 
I'll macro in static on the element of choice pretty easily takes 1 line.

/equip Ear1 "Static Earring"

and when i'm not using that element for bursting i just comment it out

//equip Ear1 "Static Earring"

otherwise it would have /equip Ear1 "Abyssal Earring" or I could even put it on my resting macro since I dont wear hMP ear gear and have empty slots.

simple, and pumps me up to +12 MAB on bursts (static + moldy) which is better than +5 MAB +2 int with abyssal.

And if I ever manage to get my hands on novio (+7 MAB) ill be all too happy to simply switch static for moldavite on bursts to the tune of +14 MAB
 
Well if it was me I'd go for the blm choice. You said your gonna level paladin, yet your blm is ready to go. I'd just go with what your gonna get a lot out of right now.

That would work fine if the only thing you did was mb all the time or none of the time, except mbs are always mixed with regular nukes. Which leads us to the problem fire discribed. If you equip it everytime you cast that nuke element, you are going to be equiping it even for regular nukes where it does you no good and is wasted the majority of the time. Its an extremely situational earring that requires a lot of effort for small effect.
 
meh you should see what I have to do to situationally use my sorcerers ring consistently.. be easier when i can get 3 zenith items SOLELY to macro them in and out to drop myself to yellow HP so any wandering mage cant ruin 5min of work with a stray cure.

Yeah, sorcerors ring becomes pretty easy once you get enough hp->mp gear you can swap on and off. Just hit one macro to put it on, then a restore macro and you're set.

and i wouldnt call +7 MAB a "small effect" =p
 
Static isn't +7 MAB

Static is +5% Dmg which is = to 5 mab

Thought i would clear that up
 
Well thanks for the replies, I chose Ethereal. I figured my BLM had enough stuff as it is now and it was time to pimp PLD a little :P And besides, i can merit for dmg on BLM, but i can't really get anything like Ethereal gives through merits for PLD

Thanks for answering :)

And you can always get those novio/a earring from JoL for blm!!

gratz on earring
 
Ethereal is, and will be probably forever the best hands down earring for pld, period. Tanking EXP mobs gets me 2-4 mp per hit I take. Each time the mob hits me, it's like getting 1 tick of refresh, I'm never out of mp, ever.

Don't even get me started on HNM, I can get up to 10 MP per hit on those.
 
Didn't SE say something about giving PLD some refresh JA or something? Man, I might just wait till expantion to choose ><

I'm trying to choose, the +conserve MP and the damage>mp ring. Hard desition, RDM don't have any +conserve MP items, and other ring is totaly uniqe
