I've been recently thinking about trying to solo certain NMs on BLM and have been looking into a standing set again.
Here's what I currently have: Terra's Staff -20% Goliard Trews -3% Igqiara Tiara EVA+10, Physical DMG: Curse Morrigan's Robe Refresh Goliard Clogs EVA+5 Morrigan's Cuffs
Easily Obtainable: Umbra Cape -6% (-12% during Nighttime) Sorcerer's Earring -30% (active only when HP<25% and TP<100%) Jelly Ring -5%
Not so Easily Obtainable: Herald's Gaiters EVA+8 Movement Speed+12%
Out of my Reach: Defending Ring: -10%
Note that this setup is for -Physical DMG Only. I'm debating about looking gear that gives status effects (like Igqira gives curse) or more evasion, 'tho BLM doesn't have very good evasion.
Is there any gear that I'm overlooking or do you have any suggestions for other gear or setups?

ZNM Back piece that gives -x% spell interruption. More -spell intereuption stuff? Do You plan on blink casting?

Spell interruption is nice, but you cant bank on it to save your life. Blm solo-ing is all about, not getting hit at all, which isn't always possible. My advice would be to prefect your strats. When soloing harder things, its What you do thats most important, not What you do it in. Personally, I would rather have my most needed spells stick over anything else. I guess it depends on how you plan to use this damage eduction gear. I hope its only to be macroed in for when your getting hit. And not for casting spells in. The other issue I have with this kind of gear set-up, is you will still need space should your NM drop anything. Knowing the gear Ikonic has available to him he could easily be maxed on space. Enfeeble gear, elemental skill gear, damage down gear, max damage gear, is alot to walk around with plus 8-9 staffs and whatever else I'm missing.
I guess in the end "Shits situational" it really depends on what your fighting. Soloing fenrir prime? might want to have that damage down gear for his 2 hour. Trying to solo a beastman king? you will need to have your enfeebles stick every time! Personally I prefer to solo NM's as rdm, but blm sure has its uses. Its just when your out of MP your kinda screwed. Just remember "if you can sleep it, you can solo it"
I want herald gaiters too! >.>

The standing set I plan to use when kiting or when I take hate (like pulling hate on a MNK that's 2hrd in dynamis). I'm wanting to solo mobs like Ix'aern (MNK) where it's an endurance fight and most the time is spent kiting only stopping to toss a quick DoT.
The standing set is never used to nuke in, only to swap to after nuking. As for gear, I generally run with 11-13 free spaces unless I need my elemental gear set.
