Also, updating the V2 budget fireheart setup, as some actual testing has revealed a few nuisance points that changes a lot of the gearing:

- Minefield gives 60 pierce, IOTSS and level charm give 10; Jinns provide around 35 pierce, and that double dips as the totems snapshot, so you end up with totems effectively having 140 pierce before even considering other items. The gearout thus requires us to stack as much spell damage as humanly possible instead.
- With this in mind, that means we just want nothing but zod-craft jewels in our gear. Leave those rha runes at home.
- The earliest you can get 3 fireheart totems is 132 factoring in the +max sk charms available at that point. Inadvisable to respec until that point, but can still run dunc if you do.
