Augment Posibilities for SCHFollow

Here is the list of mage friendly augments we get from the fancy Bruce Lee pants.

MP+25 Enmity-4
Magic Accuracy+4
Magic Attack Bonus+4%
Haste+3%
Physical Damage Taken-4%
Magic Critical Hit Damage+10%
Magic Burst Damage+10%
"Cure" Potency+5%
Movement Speed+8%

Here are some list of possible combinations I came up with.

For the nuking SCH:
Magic Accuracy+4/Magic Attack Bonus+4%
For the healing SCH:
MP+25 Enmity-4/Cure Potency+5%
For the soloing SCH:
Physical Damage Taken-4%/Movement Speed+8%(If no Gaiters)/Haste+3%
For the HNM SCH:
Magic Burst Damage+10%/Magic Attack Bonus+4% or Magic Accuracy+4

There are a nice amount of situations we can use these combinations. I think personally I might go for MP+25 Enmity-4/Cure Potency+5%, or Magic Burst Damage+10%/Magic Attack Bonus+4%. I have Mahatma and think that's a fine nuking piece as is.

I am a Hume SCH so i dont know about you guys... but when i am Sch/Rdm for nuking i am really short on MP. I know I need a Serket Ring or Hedgehog Bomb but that craps expensive.

So i was thinking MP+25 and MATK +4.

I have scholar AF pants +1 for healing so no need for anything else there.

Whatcha think?

EDIT: i cant spell

With only 3 MP merits, my MP goes around 700~. That's more then enough as a Hume SCH/RDM only using parsimony. Never had a problem with my MP, and I gear for INT/Magic Attack/Magic accuracy only.

Here is my nuking with low skill: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=118478
Here's high skill: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=118481

I substitute the argute belt for Obi's when I have weather. And I also macro in Ugga Pendant when my MP is low. The Augments on the cap are INT+4/Magic Accuracy+2/Magic Attack+2/HHP+3

Fine Fine Fine. MACC and MATK it is.

I just started nuking at lvl 74 and this is my first mage job so i am still learning. If i am main healing for sure i will sub whm and have plenty of MP (i have 3 MP merits) but /rdm hurts the pool.

Or would Magic Crit +10% be better than MACC?

I think I might go with cure potency, and pdt. I'm a little worried about the lack of enmity, but I don't think it should make too much of a difference in my playstyle.

I really don't care about +4 mab/mac, since mahatma isn't too far under them. But for sure cure potency, that's hard to come by, and now I can hit 500 on a neutral day, so I'm looking forward to that. And I guess pdt for my idle gear. Another 4% in my idle set sounds nice.


The difference in /rdm and /whm mp totals is not worth the loss of /rdm spells, and traits. Phalanxga will easily make up the difference in mp over the course of a few mobs, not to mention a whole party. And the lack of fast cast is visible, and frustrating to me.

Quick, someone, whats the difference in /whm and /rdm mp at 75?

Sea I have issues with Aerns and RR. Does your Limbus group ever do restore chests? As to Nyzul I always get Dusty Ether and Elixir for just in case moments or Soulflyers.
For these events I guess a better question would be what kind of support do you get?

For a Hume, /WHM has 582 MP and /RDM 563 MP. So yeay, 19 MP difference, not worth at all the loss of Phalanxga and Fast Cast (and in case of a dual wield heavy party, enspellga).


Truth is, 5% cure potency is really tempting, paired either with -4% dmg taken (for my cure IV -aga spams in Campaign :P) or the +25 MP -4 enm... But if I get the expansion, I'll probably get the nuking augments.

Thinking of going with the cure potency option. Partially because it also helps my other jobs, but even for sch, it looks like a pretty significant upgrade over anything else we can wear. Any possible nuking option seems like only a minor upgrade from errant/mahatma pants. By swapping from mahatma to macc/matt augment pants, you lose 6 int and gain 4 macc/matt. You're likely to see about a 1% damage increase on tier IV nukes and gain 1 magic acc (except against very high int targets, where mahatma will pull ahead on magic acc).

On the other hand, we don't have anything with even 1% cure potency, let alone 5%. It's like adding half a noble's tunic in the leg slot. This looks like the more appealing upgrade to me personally.

+Movement speed equip doesn't add up, you'll end up with +12% if you wear both the augmented +8% movement pants and the gaiters.

Funny enough I haven't chosen any of the minisodes gear thus far, and now that I know what the pants options are, this is what I plan on choosing for my SCH.

This will be my choice for Nuking gear:

Selenian Cap
(Head) All Races
DEF: 19 MP+20 "Conserve MP"+3
"Magic Attack Bonus"+2 HP Recovered While Healing +3
INT+4 Magic Accuracy+2

Royal redingote
(Body) All Races
DEF: 40 MP +20 INT +5 MND +5 CHR +5
"Magic Attack Bonus"+4
Magic Accuracy+4

Tatsumaki sitagoromo
(Legs) All Races
Def: 31 INT + 2 MND + 2 CHR + 2
"Magic Attack Bonus" +4
Movement speed +8

Goliard Cuffs
[Hands] All Races
DEF: 18 Accuracy +4 Attack +4
"Magic Atk. Bonus" +4
Magic Accuracy +4
Set: "Magic Def. Bonus"

Cobra Unit Crackows
[Feet] All Races
DEF: 10 HP +22 MP +22
Magic Atk. Bonus +3
Conserve MP +3
Set: Increases Magic Accuracy


This should give me Armor Stats as such:
Def: 118
HP+22
MP+62
INT +11
MND +7
CHR +7
Conserve MP +6
"Magic Att. Bonus" +17
Magic Acc +10
Movement speed +8%
Accuracy +4
Attack +4
HP Recovered While Healing +3

Mostly Thinking about the Magic Attack Bonus stuff being +17, but the added benefits of Mafic Acc +10 and Int +11. I think this is pretty decent.

ummm... V. Muffler is +5 while Goliard (hands) has 1 less M. Att but ADDS M. Acc +4.. I think thats a GREAT trade off. As far as the Cobra bs. Yigit (feet) I have Goliard feet to take care of Helixes, but I think the conserve mp+3 AND the MP is a better fit for the OVERALL set I have planned.

Got it.. I will take the advise thanx ^^
