New year, new you edition.

For discussions related to FFXI. Do not post about private server drama because no one cares. Also, no one cares about Phoenix vs. live servers - play what you like. Keep your delusions in a journal. Yes, this includes you schizos posting about random names in a FFXI thread and staff trying to damage control under the guise of anon.

IMO Catseye CW mode is better than anything else currently.
Tier 1 incursions are just so perfect. They replace dunes parties with level capped fort ghelsba, giddeus, and Palborough mines.
The level 20 weapons you can make with currency you get from doing it are extremely overpowered and perfect for doing level cap 20 and 30 garrisons every day.
No AH so you have to earn everything you have on you.

Most people dicked around and got stuck in the 40s-60s or a couple of years until square made the game far easier. Probably the biggest change to the games difficulty was sneak/invis being added desu. Completely trivialized all dungeons
Reminder that people uniorionically got hard stuck by cop missions because they had bad gear, ate wrong food, had wrong subjobs and only had slots for 1 job that was probably supbar.
Go watch any 15 year old 240p rare clear of these missions, it's pretty much the top 1% just realizing how to get 95% acc and have /nin unlocked lol
>>
>>2164057
It's not that bad, it really just means you will have to travel back to town more often and not AFK farm/gather in one spot for 12 hours, will have to prioritize inventory slots more. Brings value to a ton of items

Basically encourages "playing the game" more
>>
>>2164108
I remember a lot of the CoP fights being real cockblocks for the community. Starting with the Promys and then the Aqueducts. I had LS members getting cucked by the Snoll fight and then 6-4 was truly the great filter. I remember beating 6-4 with only our Black Mage alive at the end but it was on our first real run with polymers.

There was barely any documentation about what to do afterwards as well, we had to use babelfish to translate some JP blogs and it was like having to solve a riddle because the translation quality was so awful. Even figuring out the next steps to complete missions could be hard back then.
>>
>>2164129
Yeah. The game is just a lot easier with knowledge and community tools
People do just output far more damage now with gear swapping becoming standard practice, and understanding how acc/attack works instead of tping in str gear.
I feel like it was far more common to see 0 damage hits back then.
People actually have sneak invis pots on hand now, and maps/walkthroughs so less waiting on someone lost.
People know how to get gil easier now to afford meds, and up to date weapons. A haub was rare in xp, now it's standard gear
For instance that comment about linkshell members being stuck on snoll is completely gone if they just could afford icraus wings and had proper tp, ws sets setup which I doubt for the era.
People also just gravitate to better jobs in larger quantities, it's easier to get ahold of brds mages and dds with /nin today than having to make do with dd/mnk or some shit because they were your only actual choice. It's a million little things that made the experience easier before we even get into the p server shit
>>
>>2164110
This isn't gonna make crafting any less of an afk activity though. Walking from town to town for vendor items is already as mind numbing as watching flies fuck for 10 minutes, you might as well be afk. Now that time is doubled. Is it really a fresh and exciting experience and "playing the game" for you?
I get that unstackable items and no inventory space makes them more valuable, how is slightly higher skill up rate going to ruin that?
I only care because I like ranger, it's always an awful experience in the beginning of all servers, so I prefer to craft/gather for my own ammo, I don't care about selling to AH.
Dudes in this thread yap about not wasting time with 10k EXP parties (like it wasn't 90% of parties in era) then turn around and say this is the peak ffxi experience. If you still had to pay $15 a month for this none of you would be here.

Incoming Phoenix implementing all of ToAU on LSB and Horizon magically being ToAU ready. Phoenix being open source is nice and all but they're just helping Horizon. They should go exclusive with their ToAU content for awhile so Horizon can't mooch off of other people's hard work.

That’s why Phoenix is based because they are helping everyone even at their own expense. It’s about time. All these retards hoarding shit has fucked progress.

They should make Guilds only open for 8 hours a day.
They should give Guilds a 2 day weekend. Imagine working for 7 days a week (Vanadiel weeks are 8 days) and only getting a 1 day weekend (you still have to show up to work). I think the guild vendors need the me-time that a 2 day weekend provides.
Hell, you can even make the guild workers take time off too. No Advanced Synthesis Support for you pal, I'm on my smoke break. Oh and by the way, I got 15 days of vacation time that I plan to use for Vanadiel December, so you better prepare for when I'm gone.
Then they should delete the AH and make it so that you have to walk to each person's bazaar to buy anything. That way you don't get 7 free inventory slots in the AH, and it encourages you to walk to more places and for people to stand in the marketplace, making the game feel more alive.
They should make it so you have to barter with the souls of the deceased enemies in order for them actually drop loot. You gotta trade them money or an equivalent good to have a change to get their loot. Imagine just getting free items when you kill enemies, that hurts the economy, won't someone please think of the poor little Bottom Line!
>>
>>2164673
never cook again
>>
>>2164673
Make it so ONLY main accounts can buy from guilds. It's disgusting that some subhuman can login on an alt and perfectly get premium items priced cheaply. Actually I'd rather they just make all guild prices always at the maximum, OR make it so the more skill you have in the synth, the more reduced prices you get. I would do the same for standard NPCs, but make fame more dependent for those, but no fame gained from repeatable quests, you have to do every quest for maximum gil gained from buying/selling. God, I would fix this game
>>
>>2164722
>no fame gained from repeatable quests
actually good idea
>>
>>2164404
I thought you wanted unlimited. 21's not bad that's good actually. That's good to increase flow and to give space for the NPCable things which is good for more craft production/accessibility/spread, which is better for all players in the server.

2 days is fine if it does actually increase productivity (and means faster refreshes/higher stock of items so I don't have to camp it like an NM at store open).

this, it's literally just fags logging their alts at NM spots, fucking gay, literally just fighting with demons 24/7 if you want to get ahead

they should just make it so no guilds restock automatically. All stock is based on players selling to the guilds. Bump up the sell price to encourage selling to guilds and not just pawning everything to the AH

why are the names in my LSB fucked up occasionally, for NPCs that is. It's like the list in the game all got shifted up/down by the same amount entirely. NPCs called sign posts, vice-versa.

Actually it's worse, even the models are swapped? I just remembered a taru NPC in a cutscene was a Mithra and xe was doing taru animations in the Mithra body. pls respond
>>
what if we decreased movement speed to 3
>>
what if we put a daily craft limit depending on your rank like how we have limits on fishing and digging. Level 0 can craft 10 times, Level 1 can craft 11 items, Level 2 can craft 12 items, Level 70 can craft 80 items, Level 100 can craft 110 items, etc. etc.

>>2164792
This but reverse it

what if you could only craft at certain places, like how you have to cook a galkan sausage on a specific fire pit, make it so you have to find a loom to do clothcraft, and only one person can use the loom at a time

Phoenix should only allow players on Windows XP and dialup modems

instance them all off too for good measure so you have to wait 30 minutes for someone else to finish crafting.

what if we had crafting levels like how they work beyond level 70, you only get a limited number of levels
so we give everyone 150 levels total they can allocate, so you can put 100 into one craft and 50 into another, or 50 in three different crafts, or like 20 in every craft

>>2165514
Definitely seems an agenda there. I'm late to the convo but did someone get offended or uncomfortable that Phoenix is building momentum?
>>
>>2165527
Scared Horizon staff had to rush to make this thread to whine about Phoenix.
>>
Phoenix has a lot of momentum and the support of key parts of the private server community. Horizon is losing steam and much of the private server community folks hate them and don't want to help them. So yeah, they're scared. They've been operating for three years and still can't release TOAU. If Phoenix gets it before them, the server may as well shut down.
>>
I play retail and I really couldn't care less about any of that bullshit
>>
>>2165365
Yeah but keep in mind on whorizon, emperor costs 1100 cp to refresh, that's 11k exp just to break even.
>>
>>2165639
Chariot gives 12k and requires 1200 Conquest Points, they all break even
>>
>>2165556
I don't think it matters, the slow rollout of ToAU will still bleed players to a new server because all the no lifers have had 3 years to max their characters and they have nothing to do other than farm Dynamis on alts.

Any non-mentally ill folk here? You're not allowed to post ITT.

you fucking retard

>>
>>2166036
You fail to see the people schizo for Horizon are the same people who schizo for Phoenix. I've studied months of posting by these people and it's just nonstop obsession with pserver staff thinking they're "friends" and "inner circle". They sit in every Discord hoping to catch a glimmer of subtext so they can rush here to post about "being in on it". Think anon. All it takes is the servers failing and this person not having an outlet before they finally find another game. They will move to FFXIV.
>>

Who had the ultra detailed lower jeuno HD textures? I remember a dat swap where you could read all the posters on the wall and all of the bricks on the floor in certain zones. The shop where you get the tarut cards had stuff you could read.
It wasn't ashenbubs and I can't find it anywhere now.

It bleeds out as well I was watching some old british guy play on twitch and there were younger guys you could hear in discord literally talking about the drama we see on this thread, name dropping setsuko and kipling etc even though I am 99% sure they are turbonormies that don't actually come here

Honestly not surprised. It's even crazier when you consider Setsuko hasn't played pservers since 2023 and Kipling isn't in the pserver community at all. People bring their 20 year old vendettas and think they garner favor by trashing talking literal whos thinking there's some elaborate scheme and they know when it's just parroting schizos. It gets even worse when you look into other names mentioned here. Some aren't even players on FFXI.

sneak attack from behind is 100% hit rate no matter if you are main or sub THF, plus a forced crit. If you are main THF your DEX gets added to the base damage or some shit

Is the dialogue and story mostly press-to-continue, or is there stuff that progresses without user input? I'm wanting to play for Japanese practice and tried looking up a video to get an idea, and the opening cutscene after creating a character seems to progress automatically and doesn't seem pausable, so I'm wondering if that's common throughout the game.

Any server that wants to put wings content in that isn't just sch is retarded
Wings didn't have content outside of a storyline which just play retail and dnc is a meme job as main and ruined the game as sub

dec 2022
dec 2023 1 year
dec 2024 2 years
dec 2025 3 years passed
3 Years in the same expansion (COP). Now in year 4 of the same expansion (COP). More and more relics, HQ gear, and BiS sets, and mountains of gil have been made. Even if Aerec's server gets TOAU it has already been ruined as a result of heavy content droughts and literal YEARS of merc-selling gear to lesser players.
>>
>>2168269
aerec's dogshit server has too many relics

there should be like 3 by now not hundreds

>>2168271
It’s almost as if letting a dude make up random shit and calling it era+ fucks up game balance. Shocking
>>
>>2168269
yeah, cop was september 2004 so it was 1 year and 7 months as well. by the time toau launches, horizon will have been in cop for 2x as long as retail was and that gives people way too long to gear.

making a progression server was admirable but they didn't stick the landing.

More and more casual players are fully merited
Everyone has their cop ring
Not including toau stuff that would be sold to death as a result.

The entire server has been compromised due to reaching year 4 of cop. TOAU is DoA for Horizon. The content will quickly become unfun even after Aerec's server gets it.

I decided to try FFXIV and it was one of the worst games I have ever played in my entire life, so I decided to play FFXI instead and was instantly hooked, but I haven't interacted once with another player in 90 hours of gameplay. How much different was this game when people actually had to socialize to play the game?
>>
>>2169200
Are you playing private or retail?
Private you will be playing with other players within the first 12 hours typically, retail you likely won't until end game stuff
>>
>>2169200
you couldn't do shit alone beyond level 10 and would even need to party up just to travel to jeuno
>>
>>2169254
back in retail this was true when DCs gave 50 exp and getting 188/200 exp a kill in a party was preferable. All the private servers now have WoTG exp changes and you can easily solo to 30 if you really feel like it.
>>
>>2169254
People usually skip to 15-20 by grinding on ep-dc mobs thanks to wotg exp rates, which mainly affect ep mobs.
Ghelsba parties exist for a reason.

this except easily solo to 75

Give me one reason other than haste for picking rdm over sch in 75 cap era.
Haste is not even that good on a tp burn with a brd using march the sch will never have mp issues the rdm eventually will if hes spamming haste on 4 targets constantly.
SCH can also boost WS damage and auto attack damage.

As a new player what should I spend my Ochre and Red Mog Pells on? I was considering Trust: Moogle or Trust: Kupofried for my Ochre
>>
>>2169475
I'd lean towards Echad rings from the Red Pell. Kupofried is ok, but I'd rather have a good acting trust rather than a static Geomancer while leveling. Thankfully some good ones are available this month from the login points, such as Shantotto II. Normally, I'd argue her with your Ochre pell and if you can't get her via login points use your Ochre Pell on her. Both Moogle and Kupofried I think are handed out every so often, once or twice a year. Qultada, although flawed, is mightily useful even at 99+. Karaha-Baruha was my favorite 1-98 healer trust as he hastes and closes skillchains quite well. Mumor II, Ullegore, and Teodor are sort of lesser versions of Shantotto II, so good for 1-98 too. Mayakov, Uka, and Mumor I form an 'old dynamis' farming trio if you want to solo build relic weapons. I used Moogle and Sakura for skilling up, but this is in the context of skill up macros and scripts while I fuck off irl.

Many trusts become useless at 99 ilvl, but this might change in the coming months with an their planned Trust upgrade systems. Who knows though. Hopefully this helps some.

>>2169645
SE gives out echad rings like candy, Moogle and Kupofried are rare trusts but all the other trusts given by Mog Pells are easily obtainable through either daily login points or conquest points. August Fablinix and Ingrid are also available through some far off compaign mission if you just want them early, and some special event trusts like babaan and mumoor II are probably more worth than qultada since they're only available once a year, as opposed to Qultada's two entire real life Seasons worth of available time.
I don't actually know if Moogle and Kupofried are rare, but I've been playing for 4 years and I haven't managed to play while they're available so I'd say for anon to choose those

Needing to level a mage is based. But it needing to be 90% black mage is cringe. Skillchains should be able to replace black mages when dealing with endgame mobslop, or give whm/rdm some tools too. Horizon could have been cool for at least one thing, on letting SMN join BLM in endgame slop, if that job wasn't overtuned trash.

BLM is the nigger to endgame as NIN is to progression. Shit needs to have other viable options or otherwise get culled entirely. The sovl of FFXI is not having everyone being funneled into being carbon copies of each other in one same thing. It's no wonder those were the 2 most popular jobs for RMTfags.

Speaking of skillchains, do you time your next weaponskill 3 seconds after someone activated their weaponskill, 3 seconds after the weaponskill animation finishes, 3 seconds after the skilchain procs, or 3 seconds after the skillchain animation finishes?
>>
>>2170154
I'd say up to 3s after their animation finishes, though the real, or perhaps only consistent, hook is probably after the damage enters the log. But usually the damage doesn't show until the animation is done afaik (meaning if you blink out the damage will instantly log). Some endgame animations get much much longer than initial ones. But, good question, who knows with how these japs programmed shit, let alone with how pserver fags lied about being era accurate.

This is strange to me. Back in 2022, Dec., there was a free login campaign period where they offered these direct-to-inventory upon login. It was a multi-day thing that took maybe a week to get all the login rewards.

Anyways, Trust: Babban is the most rare trust hands down so if we're talking attainability, grab this one even if you never summon him.

Sch can also do enfeebles. This argument doesn’t work.
People invite rdm just because its 1 or 2 extra hastes. Sch gives you +7 to any stat or +3 to all stats and maximum enspell damage also boosted by weather while having 100% better mp efficiency and better regens and better dots.
Just fucking admit already that sch > rdm in merits. Why the fuck are you inviting drk and blu anyway?
>>

Enfeebles is for aoe sleep content, solo shenanigans and one strong nm monster
A congo line of weak standard mobs you kill one at a time do not need to be paralyzed or slow lol
Genuinely just kill it. All your healer should be doing is throwing out haste dia and maybe a regen or cure to top of /nin users or cures if it's a /Sam party

Melee fags still pretend like they have a single point to exist in this game
Out of a 18 man party the objectivity best number of melee to have is 2
Melee make up 1/3rd of the jobs in cop lol
33% of the jobs 5% of the alliance size and that's only if you bring the full alliance to like an hnm. The second you start low manning something like dyna hahahaha
The difference between a standard alliance and a "melee" burn is 2 more melee, and even then the brds are still the most important
Rdm brd blm smn nin are the best jobs
Thf and bst are extremely useful jobs for outside of endgame
Don't bother if you main any other jobs
Retail it's just geo run brd blu cor, everything else is a meme job related to one specific piece of content or just solo slop who cares

Sch can give targeted stat buffs and enspells boosted by weather, which i think is far better than 1 haste per target.

If haste is truly that important then the ideal meritpo healer is smn even if their haste is slightly weaker

Sch is not better than rdm at anything but being a pretend BLM.
Even on Catseye where SCH gets some retarded OOE shit like immanence and Embrava, and a bunch of custom gear that bumps the tick of sublimation by 4 maybe 5 points it's still inferior at healing.
Whm mogs both. On retail sch gets regen 5 and that retarded su5 staff that makes big PP regens and then suddenly it's great.

>>
>>2171240
>Sch is not better than rdm at anything but being a pretend BLM
Better enfeebler when it comes to doing it aoe so that means better sleepga and better gravity or bind when it actually counts. On a single target the only thing rdm does better is paralyze and slow.
Better DoTs, best DoTs in the game after all and more damage overtime than BLM while at the same time being the ultimate BLM support.
Better cures, regens and mp management than rdm FAR FAR BETTER mp management. Anyone who thinks refresh and convert were better than access to actual regen and sublimation is a retard who never touched scholar or likely an era larper. All this is before we even consider them being able to AOE aspir.
Better barspells than rdm thanks to actually being able to do the aoe version of all of them.
Can phalanxga
Can enspellga (can also max damage on this with weather spells)
Can aquaveilga (relevant for caster melee like nin)
Can boost stats directly by +7

The only thing rdm does better than SCH is giving refresh to drk/blue, paralyze/slow on single targets, and access to haste.
Don’t even think about bringing up Frazzle thats irrelevant when SCH also has access to aoe Klimaform.

SCH has this little problem called their stratagems take for fucking ever to refresh. Unless you have Tabula Rasa active you have a huge recast on stratagems and in an aoe heavy fight like king behemoth you might be using them all for stoneskinga or regen 3ga, that's where scholar shines.
No, sch with accession cure 4 is not better than white mage with curaga 3.
>>
>>2171321
In era sch only got 3 mp/tick sublimation which meant no refresh only evokers, refresh gear, and ballads. If you had more than one of these yeah sch is very good at mp management even compared to a white mage in a 5 man party, especially if your DDs are subbing ninja and not being retarded. You might be able to get by with just sub and ballads. I've done both in era.
Sch doesn't really shine until accession weathers and everyone wearing obis with chatoyant staves. Then you really want one, SCH has a lot of utility like Animus minuo and later on it gets immanence.
Sch in the 75 era with immanence would be a game changing class, but actual 75 era sch was just a fancy BLM alternative that did much less damage with MB
>>
>>2172114
4 stratagems with 1 minute charges is a long time? Nah I don’t agree. Thats 4 curaga 4’s.
>not better
It is when its:
>more mp efficient than whm thanks to aoe regens
>can be casted on outside parties.
A white mage can’t cast curaga on an alliance.

>>2172131
>In era sch only got 3 mp/tick sublimation which meant no refresh only evokers, refresh gear, and ballads
I really want to know what makes retards think sch needed refresh when sublimation was literally better and returned the same overall amount of mp as refresh as it was the same tick rate while at the same time being in effect constantly without an mp cost. This is not counting the mp efficiency they passively get from stance either and how insanely efficient it is to be able to aoe a regen.
Storms weren’t just elemental damage boosters either at 75 cap, not sure why you keep ignoring that or all the utility that came from accession and manifestation at 75 cap.
>>
>>2172267
>4 stratagems with 1 minute charges is a long time? Nah I don’t agree. Thats 4 curaga 4’s.
You're not going to be using these on Curaga 3s(Not 4s) and you're actually using more mana to do it than a white mage would be. If you're not maintaining regen 3 aoe or stoneskinga for your group, you just won't be using them. If you're taking incoming damage that could need a curaga 3 you could be using stoneskinga and preventing that damage for a lot less mana.
>A white mage can’t cast curaga on an alliance.
Neither can SCH, and also you can't cast stoneskinga or regen 3ga on another party, so what good is an aoe cure 4 going to do? You think a single scholar is going to be healing an entire alliance?
>I really want to know what makes retards think sch needed refresh when sublimation was literally better and returned the same overall amount of mp as refresh as it was the same tick rate while at the same time being in effect constantly without an mp cost.
It has an HP cost, and if your hp goes too low which it often does it wastes your sublimation, meanwhile a red mage can refresh you and you can sit to rest without having to stoneskin yourself.
>not sure why you keep ignoring that or all the utility that came from accession and manifestation at 75 cap.
You can do one or the other, if you think you're going to be maintaining stoneskin, regen 3, and still have stratagems left for aoe cure 4 i got news for you.
>>
>>2172267
I'm going to go ahead and sum up SCH 75 in a few sentences
You don't get Shellra 5 with merits
You don't get bliaut and relic leg barspells

You are a supplemental black mage who does the utility for the nuke group OR a stoneskin bitch.with aoe regen 3, live it up.

What's your guys' Wyvern/Automaton name? My Wyvern is Solaire and my Automaton is Asuka. I've been keeping track of all the different names people use, but PUPs are so rare that I can't find any automaton names. I've noticed that a lot of people don't seem to realize that you can change the names beyond the initial 30 they give you when first naming your pet, so most people just have it set to the first options given. (although changing your pet's name costs money, so maybe that's why). I legitimately believe there are so few PUPs that there's at least 1 name that has never been chosen

Unironic skill issue, especially for you who seemingly seems to be talking only about exp parties. This has never been an issue ever for anyone playing scholar or white mage because of stoneskin.
>You can do one or the other
You’re not very intelligent if you think that you can’t maintain either of those when the buff timer of them is longer than a stratagem charge, even at the level you get accession. Moreover you don’t use accession on stoneskin, not in an exp party and certainly not in endgame alliances, unless your black mages are subbing /sch which they will be too pussy to do.

>>2172286
None of those are an actual important advantage unless you’re talking about some specific hnm where you’re getting passed around in parties like the bitch whore that you are just for that.

Do people in this thread seriously believe that whm didn’t sub sch in era because of refresh? Sublimation was one of the strongest buffs to whm and SCH got a 3 tic version of it and merits to the store capacity.

>>2172284
Also to you specifically, before you go talking out of your vagina, research the eras you did not play.
Pic related.
>>
>>2172284
Theres exactly only one thing you will be dedicating a stratagem charge for out of your 4 to maintained and thats regen and only in something like a bcnm or endgame alliance event as spamming that on an exp party barely taking damage to begin with is overkill.
Aquaveil lasts 10 minutes so this is like saying that using a charge on protect and shell is a problem if this has to be maintained.
Every other buff you’d use last either 3 or 5 minutes and you get a stratagem every 1 minute at 75.
What does this mean? Well if you passed 3rd grade math you’d be able to tell that you have many more charges available to you for use in other things like your potency buffers or your mp saving stratagems, which means that yes those aoe cure 4s you’re calling shit are much better than curaga 3’s especially since you can stack stratagems.
>>
>>2172286
Bliaut is only +5 resistance. Did you mean the af2 pants? Thats more noticeable but I don’t really see a world where 25 more element resistance makes a huge difference.
Scholar gets skill levels between A+ and A thanks to their AF armor so if you really want to compare resistances then Scholar is adding around 92 while the white mage can add around 111 thanks to their armor, 86 otherwise.
Shellra 5 merits are less than 5% increase to the effect so maybe you’re glazing this a bit much considering SCH also gets aoe Shell V?
I’m not saying that extra resistance on barspells is bad but it is kinda really niche, you don’t really need it in most scenarios.

I'm talking about the only private server currently active which has scholar, which is CEXI, and in CEXI it has regen 3 at 59, i know they didn't add it until 2012. Maybe don't be a little faggot and assume I didn't know that.
What other point would there be to discuss 75 era scholar?
>Unironic skill issue, especially for you who seemingly seems to be talking only about exp parties.
Are we talking about exp parties? I'm talking about endgame. For exp parties, play whatever, SCH is a good merit healer.
>Moreover you don’t use accession on stoneskin, not in an exp party and certainly not in endgame alliances
That's bullshit, even the nips used SCHs for aoe stoneskin for fafnog, KB, Khimaira, cerberus, etc.
>Do people in this thread seriously believe that whm didn’t sub sch in era because of refresh?
Yes, because sublimation as /sch only gave 2 mp/tick and you didn't always have 10 minutes for your mana battery to fill up before a fight. Aside from coming with a pre-filled mana battery, why would you not sub black mage instead and use a red mage for refresh? You're just gimping yourself to prove a point. 5 minute recast Sub stratagems are aids.
>you have many more charges available to you for use in other things like your potency buffers or your mp saving stratagems
you're not using multiple strats on a single healing spell. I hope, anyway.
>I don’t really see a world where 25 more element resistance makes a huge difference.
Blessed Bliaut gives 5 mdb to elemental barspells
plus the 10 MBD you'd get from meriting barspells. Plus the 3% more magic damage resistance(and 5 MDB iirc) you get from merited shellra V vs Shellra IV
Sch gets AoE shell V on retail, not at 75
>>
>>2172685
Nobody ever mentioned CEXI in this entire discussion, its not even worth discussing since that server has trusts.
Sublimation on SCH main is not bad in endgame unless you have a skill issue or your alliance has a skill issue.
>why would you not sub black mage instead and use a red mage for refresh?
Probably because scholar also has conserve mp and the Light arts and Dark arts buffs not only reducing mp costs but also improving spellcast times and cds. Lets not forget Penury and actually being able to use Aspir, even if you have a hateboner for sublimation letting whm be self sufficient, its still a better sub job than Blm.
>you're not using multiple strats on a single healing spell. I hope, anyway.
Assuming you are a main healer I don’t know why you wouldn’t. What else are you spending them on? You’re using at best one for an MB if stance swapping. Staying at 4 stratagems and only using them when you need them is a waste, might as well use Penury during downtime.
>>
>>2172685
>Blessed Bliaut gives 5 mdb to elemental barspells plus the 10 MBD you'd get from meriting barspells.
That is still only about 29 more magic resistance than what you’re getting from a SCH with max enhancing magic.
Like I said I don’t think its a bad thing but I wouldn’t say its the difference between whm and sch in a lowman situation since the amount of magic damage white mage is reducing compared to the scholar is only barely noticeable. In an alliance situation you’d be using both anyway since scholar has its own brand of mitigation to stack with white mages and that is assuming you even need to minmax the resistance that badly to begin with.
Its not really worth discussing whm vs sch in an endgame setting anyway because you usually have at least 1 of every job in that sort of situation. White mage in any type of lowman content sucks compared to the alternatives imo and you definitely need sublimation in situations like that. You’re also wrong about /blm being a better sub since /sch gives the same benefits and more.
But sure you got me on Shellra 5, i completely forgot about that.

Like I'm assuming we are talking about horizon because why else are we even discussing 75 sch which will be years and years from now, but I haven't seen a single person talk about what sch could bring to henm or it's version of hnm hq fights which is the hardest content on that server.
That would be the interesting discussion of what the job could do
Xp and merits is actual zombie content
>>
>>2172663
Did they ever get AV working?
>>
>>2172847
The buffs, crowd control and extremely efficient heals. Like I don’t see enough people talking about this but sch is very powerful in dynamis when used properly for example. In lowman content as well, i don’t see how red mage is better just because of haste, but even so they are also a blm alternative while also being very versatile. I don’t see how they can’t be useful unless aerec nerfs them like they did red mage like adding more spells to addendum, nerfing the af bonuses or just the grimoires in general, removing spells from the accession and manifestation list, etc.

Haste is a necessary buff for any melee or tank and still extremely sought after for mages
Half of the endgame is chasing down haste pieces
All that matter in either melee or mage dynamics comps is sleepga
It's an okay job but clearly people get by perfectly fine without it existing
Rdm not existing removes a really useful sometimes objective best tank for tons of fights, the objectivity best stunner and sleeper,, the only decent enfeebler on level 86+ monsters, a good healer, and a top 3 lowman job in the game
You keep comparing just healing and support of rdm vs sch when those are just very minor parts of rdm
>>
>>2173049
Lol rdm only heals in content where healing isn't really that important and you just need someone to top you off sometimes
Good job sch for epic owning the rdmtards on that
>>
>>2172930
It'd be cool if they actually finished CoP despite being stuck in it for 3 years. The most iconic boss being unavailable and pushing out random ToAU breadcrumbs instead is so weird.
>>
>>2173049
Red mage is not casting haste on 5 targets. I get that its important but so is action economy.
You are not using red mage to stun AND heal in lowman but this is something several jobs can do, including sch, red mage just does it beat because of chainspell and thats just a specific strat.
I was comparing their healing from an lowman standpoint because its pointless to compare from an alliance standpoint where both are taken and both have different roles to take.
>>
>>2173059
Horizon? Finished... it's over.
>>
>>2173103
Rdm absolutely can keep up haste on multiple targets and stun
Lol this is no longer"guys actually sch is really good because" and just "secretly rdm the most overpowered job in the game is le bad"
It's not
Sch is good, it's a mage job in ffxi. It's just completely and utterly not needed, and rdm is just better overall
>>
Why am I even bothering replying to the schtard. Arguing haste is whatever when it literally the most important buff and stat in the game should have told me everything I needed to know.
>>
>>2173146
>not needed
Incorrect in an endgame context.

>better than rdm
In a lowman context yes.

You haven’t actually argued either of those points.
>>
>>2173146
Its not about sch being better than rdm as a stunner or whatever you’re arguing. Context matters and in endgame context they aren’t comparable as both are needed for different things. That being said rdm is a stun bot or an enfeeble nuke, sch is more versatile while still having its own niche in the storms.
The only point of comparison is exp or bcnms or whatever other 6 man content.
>>
>>2173303
Whatever sch can do other jobs can do just fine
Only rdm for many years could actually land enfeebles, best healer with convert, and a better tank than pld in a lot of content to the point horizon nerfed it's eminty
Tired of this discussion, rdm > sch and you're actually retarded if you think otherwise
> just a stunner
As if stunning isn't like one of the only things that actually matters in terms of clearing a fight

While its glazing the sch one point that he didn’t mention is that SCH is still the fastest stunner and also the one with the lowest cooldown without giving up their spell list thanks to addendum.
I get that people probably didn’t use this in 75 era probably because most were afraid to try new things but sch could aoe stun and also use alacrity with it for a faster casting stun and lower cooldown than usual.
Rdm is the absolute best at keeping the mob stunned for 30s thanks to chainspell, outside of that tho, i can admit sch still outdid it on that role.
To be honest most of this conversation just shows how little people actually tried sch during the 75 era period. The only thing people used it for was modus veritas and storms which were probably the most obvious applications.
I loved aoe gravity in dynamis though, and they are also technically the strongest sleepga 2, stronger than blm even.
Idk man, maybe he does have a point, it was so versatile that they decided not to give it haste so people wouldn’t dogpile it.

MDB vs magic resistance is a different equation, and for most fights you're going to want a white mage even if you also have a scholar. Scholar doesn't replace a white mage except in merits and for certain(easy) fights.
You want that +20 MDB white mage brings to the table. You're going to have DDs kitted out in 100+ FR for things like Cerberus and Bahamut, but it's never enough. You want to turn all your party members into rune fencers, you need fire carol and barfira, that 20 MBD, and optionally -DT gear for when the resists fail so you don't eat a 3k damage giga flare.

so just bring a blm.
>Its le better in lowman
It's not, low man already is just 2-3 blms and they get along just fine
Sch is a mage job in 11 so it's always going to be good, but it's not necessary and never was. Any job it can do, other jobs do better. People only play it more on retail than other mages jobs because whm is boring, and you usually already have a multibox on it

Nobody said this. This is why I am making fun of your intelligence. This entire reply chain didn’t even start as a comparison to WHM, much less a comparison to it in endgame content and it has been said multiple times that endgame is not a good point of comparison because its all alliance content.

>>2174619
Theres no misunderstanding just you being stupid or gaslighting. I don’t know if you are pretending to be retarded but its been made clear several times that you use both at endgame for different purposes, SCH is just way more versatile in what it can do. Nobody ever implied you’d use SCHs barspells over WHM in HNMs only that in lowman content you’d probably prefer having a more varied healer.

I have to question why you’re both bringing up white mage when the last point of this conversation was stunning. Unless you’re both the same person.

in lowman content you'll prefer having the healer with as many benefits to it as possible.

Sch overlaps in its role with other casters, a sch will take the spot of someone else especially if it's a lowman

>Sch overlaps in its role with other casters
Depends on the context but lets say lowman, a SCH isn’t overlapping with anything in endgame.
>I have no idea how you think you can argue any other way
To be frank you keep ignoring every single point made.
>it doesn't do anything special outside of minor buffs which lol just get a brd geo or cor
It doesn’t do a single buff any of those do. More than anything it second best at everything caster related while also transforming spells AOE opening up possibilities that are not available to other casters. It has a niche in quickest stunning (chainspell aside), most mp efficient healing, most self-sustaining mage beside rdm, crowd control and strongest dots. To pretend that it wasn’t used to buff blms or that it wasn’t the best lowman healer is just being retarded, especially with a brd or cor.
