SCH gearFollow

I was Wondering if anyone could provide a gear list of stuff that has the best int and MAB for SHC, like the ultimate nuking gear set we can wear.
any help is appreciated, thanks!^^

You might want to add the Vicious Mufflers (Lv 70, MAB +5) as a Hand option when you consider pure MAB over INT.

Vicious mufflers should out perform yigit on non helix spells. 3 MAB typically out weighs 5 int, especially on a job like SCH with low base MAB.



Hmm, interesting speculation. Well, let's backward calculate it, and see how much int the target would need for a 1500 Thunder IV (w/ ebullience). Also assuming /rdm:

1500/1.2 = 1250 (damage before ebullience)
1250/1.1 = 1137 (damage before weather spell)
1137/1.15 = 989 (damage before staff)
989/1.44 = 687 (damage before MAB)
(687-541)/2 = 73 (amount of int more than target needed for 687 base damage)

Analysis: to pull off a 1500 Thunder IV (non MB, conditions described) it seems you'd need about 73 more int than whatever you're nuking. 49 of this is coming from gear; the other 24 would have to come from simply having higher base int (from your race/job) or from buffs/food.

For fun, /blm would look like:

989/1.48 = 669 (damage before MAB)
(669-541)/2 = 64 (amount of int more than target needed for 669 base damage)

And with vicious mufflers instead: 44 int 29 mab

989/1.47 = 673 (damage before MAB)
(673-541)/2 = 66 (amount of int more than target needed for 673 base damage)

*Note, with mufflers you'd only need an additional 22 int; yigit needed 24

And with vicious mufflers and /blm:

989/1.53 = 647 (damage before MAB)
(673-541)/2 = 53 (amount of int more than target needed for 673 base damage)

You'd need 4 more int than the mob you were nuking. Food should close the gap in this case most of the time.

Thanks, some of the gear mentioned i hadn't thought of, like the cape. Mostly i was asking so I'd know what to put on my Wish list (I have five slots) and other than ixion's cloak for soloing i couldn't think of anything.
And mostly when i need to nuke like in certain LS events i'll go /blm if no healing support is needed.
