Next question lol. . . There are a lot of options for BST gear in the 70's (it seems). I plan on doing a lot of lvling as /nin. What gear would I be looking at as best?
I use apollo's to charm so CHR isn't a huge concern. My current tp/ws build is around +40 acc and + 27 STR and I've been happy w/ the results. However, I need to upgrade now that I'm 70. I have an IR pick and a maneater in my mog, so I'm mainly asking about armor items.
It looks like i'm gonna be dropping Pallas' bracelets for Bison Wristbands or Ogre Wristbands. Beyond that, would you recommend bison gear or ogre gear? Any other suggestions?
My playtime is limited such that I can't get much R/EX stuff so what's the best gear I can buy (reasonably, I can't afford osode etc.)

Thanks for the input! I'm currently trying to get a set of those feet that you have (camping AH lol). That's the same type of setup I'm going for, do you find that the woody is better than IR pick?
I also noticed you use a flame ring instead of 2 sniper's. I grabbed myself a pair of Ogre Wrists +1 to rep. my pallas' (just couldn't part with all that STR lol). So i may stick with the sniper's to maintain my acc.
To be honest it doesn't look like I'll need to change that much gear after all. A lot will depend on what type of build is most effective when I go to sky.

I use the maneater/iron ram pick combo, was reading about it a while back and it seemed like if anything it was slightly better than the woodsville/maneater combo overall (I have no idea of the exact specifics) and the iron ram pick is easy to pick up with allied notes.

When you have capped Axe skill acc shouldnt be too much of a problem if you using a few items - I just have the flame ring in my setup because I dont have space for a 'Rampage' gear macro anymore.

Prolly contrary to popular opinion, I dual Tabarzin's, 49 dmg, +2Dex, and +2Vit. The delay is a bit long, but a decent bang for your buck and they won't cost alot, unless you want the hq.

let me see if i can remember what i use
for meleeing on BST/NIN
axes = maneater + woodville's
Head = askar zucchetto
Body = askar korazin
Hands = af+1 hands or askar hands (use to use dusk but i sold)
Legs = Byakko's haidate
Feet = Skadi's jambeaux, adaman sollerets, askar feet
Earrings = Brutal and ethereal
Rings = rajas and iota
Neck = temperance torq (justice torq if i use scythe)
I also use other gear swaps for /nin such as: Gaudy harness and rune axes x2, and i also have an enmity down setup that includes Novia, troopers ring, and soon Delta ring. I really like using the Enmity down setup as it lets me just beat on the mob alongside my pet from the start of the fight instead of having to let my pet build hate
BST is my favorite job and i have a lot of gear for it. If you ever want to see my different setups just hit me up in game and i'll be glade to show you all i have.
