Sooooo... i left ffx due to some real life drama shortly before toau was finished. I had a few 75s (whm blm rdm brd bst) and was involved in some decent end game things. I was also extremely blessed to be in a shell that allowed me to use my bst on occasion. Truthfully out of my whole ffxi experience i miss bst the most and would like to return. Im kinda confused about all the new things i see coming out for bst and was wondering if the stigma behind it has gotten any better. Also any new "Must have" gear?
Heres a pic before i got my decent gear but sadly its all i can find due to many hd wipes.

hehe turning away on cerbs blaze spikes because we were low on healers for this fight. being bst i didnt want to cause any more extra healing than was really needed
