Given the refresh options we have at the moment. Is it even worth bothering with sublimation? In the same vein, What would be a better option for those merit points to be allocated into?
By monkey33333333 2018-07-29 21:00:18
for someone like me who solo a lot on sch Sublimation is worth it for me. but if your just doing sch for NM fights where your going to SC and stuff like that then ya I would not wory about sublimation (you will most likely have Refresh 3 anyways)
By Elizabet 2018-07-30 00:18:53
Mostly, I'm either /rdm with Amalric+1 head for refresh+ and / or using Koru-Moru which with his Refresh2 overwrites Sublimation...

What's the general opinion on Chironic hose vs Acad. Pants +3 for light magic enfeebs? Is immunobreak worth passing up the extra macc from maxing out AF set bonus? /conflicted
(Gada vs Grio is tripping me up, too)
ItemSet 360663

Max chironic still have more macc than af+bonus, just a matter of keep trading stones until you get 35-40macc on them.
I'm a big fan of gada/ammu.

academic's pants +3 (w/ set bonus)
MND +39 | MAcc +64 | Enf. Skill +24
chironic hose (perfect pellucid)
MND +39 | MAcc +60 | Enf. Skill +13
Isn't that a +15 macc edge to AF+3?

I managed 15 MND and 34 macc on my Chironic Hose, but its the Immunobreak+1 that keep them in my set
I use gada with magic acc 20 on it (just so happens to be enh6)
1 suggestion i see is drop the Bark earring for Digni. Earring. I also use Regal Cuffs/Kishar for the duration on everything except wave3 Dynamis. Just because that stuff is so stubborn you need every bit of MACC you can get

Gada/ Ammurapi shield (perfect pellucid)
MND +29 | MAcc +83 | MAcc Skill +215 | Enf. Skill +18
Grioavolr/ Enki strap (perfect pellucid)
MND +44 | MAcc +54 | MAcc Skill +228 | Enf. Skill +15
Gada has a +29 pure macc edge, but Grio makes some/most of that up thru dStat and MAcc Skill. In the end, Gada does have a negligible Macc advantage, but a marginal disadvantage for variable potency spells, too. /sigh

Personally I couldn't so I have one with Regen+10 and another one with Helix+20 and INT+4

You would use this cape over an ambuscade cape?

For Helix or for Regen?
It depends, I have a toggle.
I have a regen set focusing on full duration and another one with a bit of duration and +potency in the other slots.
For Helix I have a set with my nuking cape and one with my JSE cape.
If you can get close to the damage cap (10k) AND you know you're gonna benefit from the additional duration, then JSE cape will outperform the Ambu cape.
BUT if your helixes are hitting for real low, most of the time you're better off with less duration but stronger tocs.

I started working on my Mythic For SCH and I am wondering what the Helix MB set would look like.
Code sets.midcast.Helix = {main="Akademos", --10
sub="Enki Strap",
ammo="Pemphredo Tathlum",
head="Peda. M.Board +3",
body=gear.merlinic_burst_body, --5
hands={name="Amalric Gages +1", augments={'INT+12','Mag. Acc.+20','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+20',}},
legs="Amalric Slops +1",
feet=merlinic_burst_feet, --11
neck="Mizu. Kubikazari", --10
waist="Yamabuki-no-Obi",
left_ear="Barkaro. Earring",
right_ear="Regal Earring",
left_ring="Mujin Band", --5
right_ring="Shiva Ring +1",
back=gear.nuke_jse_back}
Id be losing the 10 MB on Akademos so would i go about replacing amalric hands or slops? I guess slops? Also probably need to reroll Body and slops to have 20 between them?

yes when you drop the 10mb on the staff your helix set really changes
This is the set that you want to use the Raetic Staff +1
ItemSet 356832
but again with all the REMA changes just 4 days away and Su5, you need to wait until those are known before making any educated decisions
With Musa already having a MONSTER high base MDmg value of 310 vs Raetic +1 267
Akademos 217
Its looking like it "could" shape up to be the next helix choice staff

I went to clear zitah yesterday. I am woking towrds improving my set like some of the above. Not sure why but I coudnt get any helix on that was more than 3k. I suspected my lua doing something weird but id id check show swaps and it WAS changing everything so no idea why. I have gone there before and easily hit the helix for above 10. Current set :
Code sets.midcast.Helix = {main="Akademos", --10
sub="Enki Strap",
ammo="Pemphredo Tathlum",
head="Peda. M.Board +2", -- 2
body=gear.merlinic_burst_body, --5
hands="Amalric Gages +1",
legs="Amalric Slops +1",
feet=merlinic_burst_feet, --11
neck="Mizu. Kubikazari", --10
waist="Yamabuki-no-Obi",
left_ear="Barkaro. Earring",
right_ear="Regal Earring",
left_ring="Mujin Band", --5
right_ring="Shiva Ring +1",
back=gear.nuke_jse_back}
even at 36 it shoudnt have been hitting that low ?
Body aug has 40 Macc and 15 dmg. Feet have 36 MAB and 35 MAcc. Not sure what happened.

Regen V
Base 64
Staff 25%
Empy head 15%
Bookworm 10%
Telchine Body/Legs/Feet +3

For things like dynamis... It seems sch can be a great buffer... Then once we get to bosses can dark arts the SC's... Finally content where back and fourth on arts seems doable.
