Macro for use with Noble's and Marduk?Follow

No. Both of them function at the moment the spell fires.

Bumping an old thread just for clarification.

So the timing for this would be like a DRG's AF/Relic macro for healing breath?

Sort of, but still different. Timing will depend on the spell, whereas for DRG the timing never really changes at all, unless you're doing something unorthodox like casting Cocoon and also trying to get a HB out of it (Cocoon has longer casting time than your standard HB triggers)

Well, in the case of Fast Cast gear specifically, you'd have to have the equipment on before you start casting the spell, whereas Conserve MP/Haste/Potency/Stat gear would only benefit you at the culmination of the spell's casting. Sorry for the nit-pick.

Regardless, your point, in a more general sense, is definitely valid and accentuates the sole benefit of such an expensive and niche item as Marduk's Jubbah, that being that you can benefit from a Fast Cast body by starting to cast in it, and retain your auto-Refresh, before switching to something that provides a specific boon to the spell in question.

Excepting this singular offering from the Jubbah, a Royal Redingote with the appropriate augments offers the same benefit. In fact, if you play frenetically enough, or utilize third-party tools, the difference between the two bodies becomes a 1 MP loss occasionally, when you start casting a spell. I say occasionally, because you'll frequently switch between your Redingote and Noble's/Cleric's so quickly that you won't miss the tic.

The insignificance of the difference is precisely why I haven't been working on my Jubbah with any amount of conviction, if I get a Khroma from an ISNM, I save it, but I'm not pushing too hard to complete it, the Dastanas were my sole priority, for Medicine Ring maintenance, I've just been building the other pieces over time, with the Jubbah being my last piece.

It is damned pretty though, that's for sure. As much as I love the classic look of my Aristocrat's with a mix of other equipment, or the subdued aesthetic of Shadow Coat with Nashira mixed in, Marduk's is definitely an eye-catching set.
