From the ones you listed, I'd probably use the Rostrum Pumps. They're all good choices except the Cleric's Duckbills, which should only be used on Barspells.

Most people aren't going to have immediate access to Marduk's. Cleric's is fine for +MND, particularly for enfeebles. I use blessed for -enmity and haste most of the rest of the time. Goliard also is a very nice piece for resting and enfeebling.

Blessed+1 for most things, Clerics+1 for barspell, Marduk for cure5/enfeeble, Goliard for hMP, gaiters for idle/running obviously.

So for example.....

/equip feet "Cure clogs"
/ma "Cure V" <t>
/wait 1
/equip feet "Blessed Pumps"


Do I need the /wait 1, or does it need to be more?

I pretty much fulltime Blessed Pumps, but I'm a taru and I don't want any more penalties to my HP. Otherwise I'd wear Rostrums.

Everything will change when Marduk's are mine *rubs hands together*

I'd actually go so far to say to write off goliard, with the exception if you happen to have marduks (very few whm fall into this anyway)

Not too bad for brd also and other jobs that can use this, but it's not a huge reduction, although every little counts at times.

WHM = barspells, the higher the numbers, the greater chance at resists.

Hook this up, with a swift belt, goliard saio, walhara turban, blessed trousers and blessed mitts that's a fair bit of haste, now haste yourself and get a perdu wand, now you're talking. Sub rdm for the enspell effect too.

Actually, you don't even need a /wait in most cases. However, if you leave it out in the specific macro above, it might interpret as an equipment toggle. What I mean is if you put two "/equip" commands for the same slot adjacent to each other, it will treat it as a toggle and ignore whichever one was already equipped. So if you take the "/wait" out, and start the cast with Blessed Pumps equipped, then it will probably ignore the last line re-equipping them. However, if you did something like this it would work:
/equip feet "Cure Clogs"
/ma "Cure V" <t>
/equip ear1 "Roundel Earring"
/equip feet "Blessed Pumps"

This would work with no /wait. Kind of a minor detail but I wanted to throw it out in case you're hurting for additional macro lines. This can save you one.


Even when you have Marduk, Avocat Pigaches still work as equal a resting piece. However, Goliard Clogs can be nice for things like Aspir as well, as they have INT and Magic Accuracy.

True, however if you have marduk feet use those. It has been widely believed that 2 points into a stat = 1 magic accuracy with the corresponding spell. It has also been believed that 1 skill point into skill = 1 accuracy. Therefore the 10 mnd would = 5 magic accuracy on paralyze, slow, silence, and whatnot. If you don't have marduk feet then yes you should be using them for enfeebles, however if you do, use them for HMP until you get goliard. Then you can just use those for both.
