Scholar Discussion #3 (post March patch)

[cdgreg]

It's funny, I started looking into that before I saw your post. I don't know much about dat moding, but I'm going to say no, it's probably not that easy. There *is* a mod for dances where they play the audio, but no dancing animation (those can't be blinked out like normal JAs -- you can find it on ffxidats). So my plan was to take the dancing mod and swap in the SCH JA audios.

This?

o.O.o Final Fantasy XI Dats o.O.o - Motionless Dances

[Ohemgee]

So I figured it out, and I added a really cool effect! I just replaced the SCH Elvaan stratagems with a random "effect" and it continued the animation without lock and bam, effect came up and what not.

E -M SCH

Light Arts- 1/195/112(-116)
Dark Arts- 1/195/120(-124)

I need to remake my scholars macro's. I really miss playing sch. I just hope their do more to the job or add some better sch specifc items ;;.

I do have a question though is it true that the grimore recast merits lowers the recast of all types of grimores. like does it affect the stratagems as well.

[Yugl]

Just the Grimores.

[Miroku_Asura]

God how awesome would it be if we were able to merit down stratagem recast x.x

I'd jizz in my pants at that.

hehe yep. I'm suprised no one has started talking about the sch thing with av in this topic as well. ;o

shut up fag

[Yugl]

Most of the people here (Aka SCHs) aren't as ignorant about the functions of SCH as the people in the AV thread.

[EternalSnow]

shut up fag

Heya how ya been?

[Aristio]

I'd jizz in my pants at that.

I would Jizz more if we were able to merit the effect of sublimation. 1 Merit turns it into 1 extra tick. A total of 9 HP->MP a tick if you have both AF and AF2 on. Or, 180 MP per minute.

I would jizz more if SCH got access to Morrigan set from Salvage.

Ive been off again / on again with SCH, right now I am 63 and I really wanna dedicate some focus to the job. I am an Elvaan, and SCH is seriously my only mage job. I know I have heard so much about 300/120 split of Elemental Magic/Int, but as Elvaan is it safe to assume that this is gonna be a long road to travel? If that is the case, should i try harder hitting the 300 or the 120? Anyone with experience playing Elvaan SCH would be great to hear from. I know each situation is difference, but my main concentration would be a straight nuking set, and a helix set. I really doubt I will be using SCH for any HNMs, but I hope to use it for events like Dyna, Limbus, Ein. I still gotta work on finishing WHM and BLM to 37, but it is my understanding that I will be /RDM most of the time (which is 37) or are there certain benefits and situations where im gonna wanna /WHM or /BLM over /RDM?

[EternalSnow]

I wanted to ask a question. What gear set do you guys think would be good for a sch to use on most wyrm type mobs? Also im an elvaan and I was wondering if you guys think maybe a snow ring would be better to use over an omega ring.

Don't know elvaan base int but here's what I would use if I had some awesome luck Q_Q

- FFXIAH.com

77+28+7(food)=112 INT

272(DA+8 merits)+37+16 M.Acc=325 Skill

The number for Macc is off because of the campaign effect so don't take that into account. gotta remember with Sch you'll usually have an obi active unless you're one of the few with the relic belt.

Einherjar you won't nuke (If so, rarely!)
Dynamis mobs don't require too much resistance gear so INT is likely to be better
Limbus mobs don't resist too often unless they're special cases (Omega or the Gigas from 4th floor NE Apollyon)

If these are the only events in question, a full resist set (Elemental skill out the ass) and a full DMG set (Maybe AF Body + Hat in there for checks) should be fine. Someone else can probably explain this better though.

Edit: Helix set is straight INT with the noticeable exceptions being: Moldy Earring, Novio Earring, Obis for duration, and the Moogle Hat with INT+4 and MAB+2. For the most part, just stack as much INT as you can.

Anyone know what the INT is for an Elvaan 75 SCH/RDM?
