Back with some questions:

1) AF1 Body, pants and feet worth reforging? I already reforged hat and hands, but not sure how they fare compared to my reisejima/escha stuff I have. For AF2, I reforged hands, body and feet. Missing pants (For Dark Magic) and for AF3 i reforged feet and I need to reforge hat and hands yet. Missing anything?

2) Does JP MBD bonus break the cap?

1) Unless you shooting for the +3s from Omen no AF1 is really worth reforging to +1 at this point other than the legs for an easy access to +20 enhancing skill. Other AF1s are useful in fringe cases at best.

2) JobTrait and Gift Magic Burst bonus is seperate from the MBI cap of 40%

Quick question for all you SCH folk.

Friend who plays SCH is saying light arts is additive to 80% fast cast cap and caps at 80%. Another is saying its multiplicative and breaks the cap. Who is right?

Trying to find out as a WHM/SCH if I need 70% or 80% cure cast time/fast cast in my pre-cast gear to cap speed.

I believe it's multiplicative and doesn't break the 80% cap... so neither friend is right. :)

Agreed !

SCH is a great job but doesn't break the Cap unfortunately :(

There is nothing about the +2/3 set for SCH that would make me want to upgrade it. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but as of right now, nope.

The Academic +3 set basically is all big MACC in combination with great INT/MND. However for the work needed to get them and compared to other jobs nothing makes me want to upgrade them for now.

Will be a few days and we should know at least a ballpark on augments from someone finishing some +3 Feet.

The only pieces that would be improvements over already existing options would be:

  • Head +2/3:sublimation bonus

  • Body +3: highest MACC in game (74 total vs for instance 60 off a perfect merlinic jubbah) for Dark/Elemental/Enfeeble spells during DA.

  • Feet +3: highest MACC in game (66) with spells matching active art



Hands have high FC but it's easy to cap FC already and same for cure potency on legs.

Sch AF1 +3 hands are god tier for stun set you will not find any other hands with Macc 48 and fc 9% plus stats

That's how I felt too, there's nothing atm where having that extra M.Acc would push me into wanting to upgrade them NOW.

body dark arts bonus
feet Gives an additional -8% Cast/Recast without Alacrity, Manifestation, Celerity, or Accession.

relic - body sublimation
legs extends TR

empy - hands perpetuance bonus
feet for nuking with klimaform up

might have missed some, relic legs can just be 99 (+2 and augmented for the bonus)

I was doing Emputa for ring, when I realize SCH can actually equip Kaykaus.

What pieces are worth getting? Considering I already have Vanya for everything except hands. Also for healing Body I'm using Chironic doublet. I'm going to guess Kaykaus Bliaut is worth getting at least?

Last time i poped Plouton i used 2 SCH, and both just used my usual native macro using wait 1 after ja and wait 4 after spell. It worked so i guess you just need to adjust the timing between your casts. Scripts seems to have different timing than native. In my script macros i use wait 1.1 after ja, and maintain 4 after spell.

So unless using 2hr for free stratagems, a SCH can't do 6 step solo.

That is incorrect. Pop Immanence, wait until your stratagems have recharged, then begin. You have the initial spell plus your additional 5.

Hands are pretty much the best enfeebling hands you can get as they have a great balance of skill Macc and big MND on them.

My LS mate did some testing on his SCH regarding -Grimmoire Spellcast time on Academic Loafers +1 and Pedagogy Mortarboard +1. We had long lasting suspicions that these items could indeed break the FastCast cap of 80% as MBing on SCH seemed easier than MBing comparable Tiers on RDM.

Casting RR3 with capped FC makes the spell go off around 20%. However using either of the above mentioned items seems to make it cast at around 13%.

We tested this on 3 different SCHs and also made sure to cap basic FC with Casters Roll.

Any further input / testing is welcome.
