Main: Corresponding HQ StaffHead: Sorcerer's Petasos ( Elemental Magic Skill +10 )Body: Igqira Weskit ( Elemental Magic Skill + 5 , MaB +6 )Back: Merciful Cape ( Elemental Magic Skill +5 )Sub: Bugard Leather Strap +1 ( +1 int )Neck: Elemental Torque ( Elemental Magic Skill +7 )Hands: Wizard's Gloves ( Elemental Magic Skill +15 )Waist: Penitent's Rope ( +5 int )Ear1: Moldavite Earring ( MaB +5 )Ear2: Magnetic EarringRing1: Snow Ring ( +5 int )Ring2: Snow Ring ( +5 int )Legs: Mahatma Slops ( +8 int )Feet: Yigit Crackows ( +3 int , +2 MaB )Ammo: Phantom Tathlum ( +2 int )For bigger, badder mobs, I stack on my elemental gear. This is not to say that you want to use full out elemental gear for all higher level mobs! Some mobs you can get by with more MaB and intelligence. Others, it's almost required that you stack all of the elemental magic gear that you can. I remember fighting Kirin for the first time, back when I had very little in the way of Elemental Magic Skill gear. I noticed that my nukes were almost always getting full out resisted. However, when I started adding more to my elemental gear arsenal, I notice that I'm getting less and less resisted on him.So it pays to have a decent elemental gear setup! Especially if you're a part of an HNM ls. Less resists = Less wasted nukes = More MP = Happy Black Mage.For some higher level mobs, but not quite HNM's, weigh your options accordingly. I usually just toss on the Sorcerer's Petasos and leave the rest of the gear alone, but it's different for each person. If you get resisted a lot, stack on more elemental magic skill. If you don't get resisted, try your luck with more MaB and intelligence.
