On Healing Hands - A Comprehensive WHM Guide (v3)

Okay after having that egg on my face with the SIRD precast set.. I'm happy to post my curaga midcast set:
Damage Taken 47, Over Capped SIRD 105, Cure Potency 48, Cure Potency II 17, Enmity -50, Fast Cast 30, Healing Magic Cast time 15 (Not sure if HMCT does or doesn't affect recast times.)

QUESTION: So, for Asclepius Healing Magic Recast Time, I've been told Asclepius goes in the precast set. Does anyone know if this is true? I had assumed it went in midcast set which would totally change this set.

Things with "recast -" on them would go in midcast, and would not help at all in precast as far as I know.

-casting time: precast
-recast time: midcast

if you are using gearswap then there are 4 things you should put in precast
- fastcast
- spell casting time
- HP
- MP

everything else including recast goes in midcast

Just as a general goal guidance
This is approximately what i would be going for in SIRD cure set



The highlight are unrelated
They just shows changes compared to my base set

I really wish we had a nice way to cap sirdand DT without having to use belt so we could combined with weather easily

-- edit --

Genbu for DT and backpiece for SIRD is also an option.
The reason i did it this way is to save a backpiece.
I used the same piece for idle sets and in idle set i use diamond aspis / archdukes shield. so need the DT in cape

unless you have 15 mobs attacking you i dont see why you wouldnt just run aquaveil and put the sird/HP/DT into the veil set. It casts quick, overwrits itself and has a fair few hits before it is removed

Its because you haven't been reading the conversation



You can have more than 1 cure set

and for this
You still have to delay your next cure with 4 secs for getting up aquaveil.

By applying multiple sets you can better choose between curing now and aquaveil later. or aquaveil now and cure later.

Hope that helped your lack of vision

[edit] turns out I forgot the formula and can't read.

Are you a master WHM? The "Cure potency" gifts, as well as the Afflatus Solace JP category, despite being called cure potency is actually a flat bonus to cure power. This would be significantly increasing your base cure value.

The combined cure power+ total for Solace up master WHM would be cure power +60, which would square pretty well with it about doubling.

How the cool WHM handle SIRD

An early reminder that the only correct choice for Rank 1 Mogbonanza is Yagrush. “But I don’t play Whm” is not an excuse.

Enhancing skill beyond 501 does nothing for Aquaveil, so depending on your Master Level you can drop some combination of Incanter's, Mimir, and Stikini +1.

Just recast Aquaveil before all of its charges are used, there isn't a whole lot of need for a set like this. This is coming from someone who painstakingly made SIRD sets for V25 Gaol fights, I used them once and never again.

You will need all the enhancing gear unless your around Master Level 30+

You don't like the set
Good
Don't make it

Do you idiots do that when you eat food
Don't like it
Don't eat it

The main thing STFU

I am mastered, and have been for some time. I must simply have been misremembering how it worked. I could have sworn the JP +63 value was added to Cure Power, not to base Cure amount, but the math checks out when I do it that way, so I must have just been misremembering.

its cure potency just like cure potency
its just the value is NOT a percentage its a static value.

BLAHBLAH +1
and
BLAHBLAH +1%

Are different not because they are not BLAHBLAH but because of the mathematical symbol.

But people are bad at percentage math so they started coming up with new terms when it mathematically was not needed

Imagine being so thin skinned as to freak out when anyone offers the slightest, polite, friendly criticism of your set. After posting the set on a public forum for all to see.

Sir, we use these forums to discuss FFXI, including giving each other constructive criticism and advice. If you don't like receiving feedback, or only enjoy positive feedback, you're in the wrong place. This is the internet.

Such an angry response from someone that is supposedly a "COOL WHM".

Nuh uh, you gotta get the bubble crab, bubbles for everyone!!!
