I love this belt! though, Seraph Server, it's like 1mil... i don't have the money to throw down on it... But, being a RDM, this belt it great! It's hard chosing armor and other pieces when you need to focus on both MND and INT, and mithra's mind is lower then the INT, so it's kinda nice to have this! Also, other mithra's should realize, we have the BEST AGI, so the -5 AGI prolly wont show much during battle!
Don't really see why they would say that, I don't see any other belt that level that gives that kind of MP boost (or at least I like it :-p).
Yeah, it gives -5 Agi, but I really don't care since I really don't aggro that often and even if I did, I'm probably going to get hit with or without that 5 agility (SMN).
Only reason I can see people giving you grief over it is because at 70, you can now wear the Jungle Rope, which is +45mp, +4INT -4DEX. For BLMs this is a better choice than this one.
Actually, any BLM worth his MP would be using Penitent's Rope. INT/MND+5 and Emnity-3 far outweighs the +45MP you'd get from Jungle Rope, and the 9 MND difference does make a difference with WHM-based enfeebles.
I use the Stone when recovering MP and when playing SMN. It's nice to have MP+30 with 50-capped missions/quests, and it's also the only decent MND+ waist equipment for when I'm playing Chi Blast Monk.
I'll pay one INT point (remember, at 75 you have over 100 with good eq) for 45 MP. Enmity down is nice, but it just means you have to be a little more careful with your hate production. Nothing too hard for an experienced BLM.
Not everyone lv70+ knows what they're talking about. >_>
Sure, it's a lot of gil (1.4 mil on Cerberus), but it's +30MP, +2 int, and +3 mnd. It's excellent for any mithra mage. About the only exception could be smns who can benefit almost as much from a Powerful rope(+20hp/+20mp).
