Blue Mage - Diffused Orcish Counterstance - useful?
My brother and I were helping someone with the G10 fight and he went pld/mnk with counterstance and I diffused O. counterstance during hundredfists. It was pretty epic but it's incredibly situational.
1) Atmacites for DDs? I don't expect to be going as DD to VW...well, at all, really, but I want to have atmacites ready just-in-case. Although the DDs I'm most comfortable on are THF and DNC, I'm assuming I'd likely be going as MNK, or possibly RNG once I finish skilling it.
2) Which NMs that drop Wieldance Coins and Voyage Jewels are most easily solo-able? I'd be doing this on DNC or BST, probably.
3) Does anyone have a good macro set for BRD? NOT Spellcast xml -- I'm looking for something like the Scholar Macro Guide.

1. Sorry I always mage it up in VW, so no DD atmacites
2. Coin of Wieldance from IC Executioner in Vunk. You can solo on dnc, but be prepared for amnesia. BST might be better.
3. I have my brd macros set up similarly, but don't have it mapped out like the guide and am at work atm.
Coercion for regain, Dark Designes/Latitude for tp bonus, Valiant for allaround stats. A very general overview, then you'll have to ask for specific jobs for the best combos.
Finishing up WotG soon and not sure what to augment for moonshade.
I have MNK NIN BLU and recently playing SMN a bit. MNK NIN BLU are my main loves however.
I was thinking either Att/Regain and use on MNK?
Or MP/Refresh and us on BLU SMN?
Or is there any options I havent considered, like TP bonus or others?
Any insight would be nice. Thank you kindly.
TP Bonus.
Sources of refresh are more abundant than ever.
Regain earring is never a good decision, arguably maybe OK if the only job you ever play is RNG or COR or something.
TP Bonus is basically best in slot for things like Chant Du Cygne, Requiescat, Victory Smite, etc.
Refresh earring is okay if you only play mage jobs, but who does that?
Maybe I should change my question to what grip should I use that people know how to get. :P Thank you for taking the time to respond, though.
If you have a drk dps spreadsheet you might be able to toss some options in there and see what it does. I'm not a drk so I dunno how accurate my drg info would be but some contenders might be Sword Strap(provided it doesn't break your hit build) and Claymore Grip. You don't have a huge amount of DA but the OAT weapon might devalue DA to a point where Crit rate is better? /Bad at maths.

Well regain would be used to replace the +9 attack earring, i know a 5attack loss just didnt know if regain was worth it. Refresh i can see being usefull for idle set for BLU SMN(pet or no pet)
For TP bonus I dont use Vere, like my Spharai so not sure if earring for just 1 WS is still worth it.
Not trying to argue with anyone just wanted to give little more info.
I am grateful for the advice.
As far as BLU goes, between Battery Charge, and the 4 MP refresh I already have in my idle set, I'm never hurting for MP. I just can't see refresh earring being very useful, considering it only works when unengaged.
For those of you that visit Bg you already know the premise of this thread but for those that don't, it's simple.
