Did you do this test on Lightsday or something?
SCH gets no MDMG from Gifts, but they do get 36 MAB.
50*1.36 (36 MAB from SCH Gifts) = 68 Naked
94/1.68 (36 MAB from Gifts + 32 from Feet) = 56 base damage
104/1.68 (36 MAB from Gifts + 32 from Feet and Lightsday Penalty) = 62 base damage (no match)
94/61 = 1.55 MAB (19 MAB implied from feet if there's 11 MDMG)
94/70 = 1.34 or 1.35 MAB (-1 or -2 MAB from feet if there's 20 MDMG)
Neither set of feet stats seem correct.

Kaboom! A Guide for Black Mage
Just tested using Ghastly Tathlum +1 (11 MDMG) and it didn't affect Bio II damage at all. This implies that Amalric feet +1 are giving 52 MAB (32 + 20 from set bonus) even without any other pieces of the set.

Hmm just tested again(lightningday)
Same results Naked 68 Boots +1 94 (80mp/20macc+20mab path) Forgetting about the probable 20 additional mab from feet augment?
Are you maybe not adding in the augments?
Ah, 20 MAB from the Augment. Well, nevermind then.
Also, apparently Bio doesn't work for testing m.dmg. I bet Dia is the same, which means that I don't know of any spells affected by magic damage that aren't affected by base stats. You could try using Stone with an INT build (~180 should be enough for level 0 mobs), but you'd need to verify that sources of Magic Damage still affect base damage in that case (Zuu grip or something).

I have to be honest I am a bit at lost with the merlinic augments, which augments does your sets are based onto? click on the item set you're interested in, it usually has the assumptions listed there. Clicking the item didn't worked but clicking the set did, thanks! I should of thought about that lol Thanks again for the contribution. Fenrir.Ramzus said: » personally I think hmp is a useless set because if you run out of MP on blm with all the tools available for MP recovery, you're probably doing something wrong . . . although if you want me to be useful, it might be something like this? ItemSet 340819 Do you know off the top of your head how many refresh would end up equaling heal while resting? Like which is better than the other? I know I saw it in one of the mage guides...I'll have to hunt it down. Might have been whm or smn.

Refresh x3.3 = amount gained in 1 tic
How does GS differentiate between normal and death aspir?
You can use a different casting mode.
Hmmm, how would you code that?
Would this work? Code state.CastingMode:options('Normal', 'Resistant', 'AF', 'Proc', 'Death')Code sets.midcast.Aspir.Death
[+]
I haven't actually tried this yet, but I believe you could also make a job_post_precast callback to check on your MP after changing all of your precast gear. You could use this to determine whether or not to use a low MP or high MP Aspir set. I'm not sure how useful this might be though given that you can often burst 2k+ MP using a non-optimal Aspir set. In those cases, you'd want to be in your high MP sets. The multipliers for Aspir/Aspir II/Aspir III are different (I don't even know what Aspir III is), so that's another factor to consider. I guess what I'm getting at is that finding the optimal solution for Aspir is probably somewhat difficult if you need to worry about high MP issues.
That will probably work although I recommend using something like 'HighMP' as your casting mode instead of 'Death' given that Death is also the name of a spell GS will search for sometimes.
I will try that, thank you!
This is how I have mine set up if it helps. I have a toggle to change idle sets from a normal idle set to a death idle set. I then have a check for aspir in precast and midcast to see if my idle set is death. Currently my index for my idle death is 2, so this is what my midcast looks like for example for aspir.
Code elseif spell.english:startswith('Aspir') then
if Idle_Index == 2 then
equip(sets.midcast.deathaspir)
else
equip(sets.midcast.aspir)
endYou could of course also just do a toggle like you do a toggle with everything else, I just found this the most simple route for me personally, just have everything switch based off my idle set.

Heh, I may not be the best choice for a lua atm. Just started BLM recently and my lua is only like half down, if even that and as odd as it sounds, I would feel terrible sharing a lua missing stuff.
Would that code go into function job_midcast?
How does idle_index work? Yes it would. If you look in the GS folder, bryth has a lot of great examples. That is where I learned a lot of the stuff I did. All credit goes to him, but mine looks like something like this.
Under function self_command I have something that looks like this. Code elseif command == 'idle' then
Idle_Index = Idle_Index +1
if Idle_Index > #Idle_Set_Names then
Idle_Index = 1 end
send_command('@input /echo ----- Idle Set changed to '..Idle_Set_Names[Idle_Index]..' -----')
equip(sets.idle[Idle_Set_Names[Idle_Index]])In the top of my lua I have something that looks like this Code Idle_Set_Names = {'default','death'}now you can change your commands to actually be a keyboard command or w/e you want. I prefer to type it out and like it that way. You can also remove the equips at the end, I prefer it as to make sure I know my set switched. You can do it that way too although almost everything you did is already built into motes. Why rebuild the wheel? I currently have the following sets defined.
sets.idle sets.idle.HighMP sets.precast.FC sets.precast.FC.HighMP sets.midcast.Death sets.midcast.Death.HighMP sets.midcast.Aspir sets.midcast.Aspir.HighMP sets.midcast['Aspir III'] sets.midcast['Aspir III'].HighMP I have also defined 'HighMP' as both casting and idle modes. Ctrl + F11 and Ctrl + F12 will cycle through them. Aspir III is defined because mote-mappings is out of date and doesn't have some newer spells in there. Maybe I'll try and get windower github access and push some updates. I consider adding a function that controls both your idle and casting sets as one to be too restrictive. There may be times where you'd want to mix and match (perhaps not these sets, but others.) Pushing F11 and then F12 once in a while to change both modes isn't really costing me anything. Aye, I already use Mote's LUA's for all my jobs. Thanks for all the info guys!
I've already updated mote-mappings myself with missing spells like Aspir III and storm-II etc. Fenrir.Snaps said: » sets.midcast.Death sets.midcast.Death.HighMP Are these two the same exact sets, just defined due to different casting/idle modes? Who is rebuilding the wheel? I don't like using motes lua (you even gave an example why in your own post) and gave the user an example that would fit his needs.
I have a Precast.FastCast.HighMP set defined and when I toggle to IdleArray = HighMP I would like to universally use my HighMP precast for death most importantly but for all spells so if im buffing/debuffing, i don't cannibalize all my MP

Necro Bump Detected!
[35 days between previous and next post]Anyone get/test any REM for BLM with the update? Or is that still not a thing? Lol Empy had once been so good too! lol
