The meat and bones of Black mage. Simply put, it's always good to have a standard nuking set and an elemental set for higher level mobs. As you can see, there's not much to the standard set. All I really do is stack intelligence and MaB. Intelligence ensures that you have a higher base damage per nuke. MaB add's a percentage to that base damage. So like everything else, it's good to have a balance. Too much int and no MaB will mean your nukes deal generally more, but don't have the extra potential due to little to no MaB. Stacking MaB without intelligence means you're adding a percentage to very little base damage nukes. So it is imperative that you find a good balance between the two.I do admit, I'm missing a few pieces of gear that could increase my MaB. I'm working on my Novio earring, but the sorcerer's ring, I wouldn't think of buying right now. Just as with everything else, gear is very situational. I'm usually the one to take hate with my current setup, and forcing myself to be under 75% just wouldn't be to my advantage. However, for manaburn situations, it can be very fun to see how much you can push the limit to, so maaaaaybe I'll get one when I get more black mage gear. Also, the tamas ring I used to have, but I'm currently playing with a rajas ring. So stay tuned!
