Re: SCH as subjob for BLM?
Back on the topic of BLM/SCH...

Though lacking in defensive measures, BLM/SCH looks like it may have higher chaining capability than BLM/WHM or BLM/RDM when soloing BST beatmen's pets, one-shot style.

Sublimation: Once per chain; before start of first nuke, let it gather some MP. Toggle after AM, get MP back.
Parsimony: Once or twice per chain, depending on level. Halves the costs of the AM.

Watching my sister getting chain#4 consistently on BLM56/WHM28, I couldn't help but wonder if on /SCH, she just may be able to stretch that to chain#5 or #6, if the re-pop speed supports it. She runs down to ~60MP or so at the end of each chain, while Quake is 377MP. Dark Arts would cut that down to 340. One charge of Parsimony would essentially give her 170 extra MP, so at ~230 after chain#4, before Sublimation is account for. If able to get 110 MP from Sublimation (and maybe a little bit more rest time), that looks like chain#5 to me right there.

Of course, if anything goes wrong, one is more likely to eat an RR than on either /WHM or /RDM, due to the lack of Stoneskin and Blink. ._.



I’m in pain, but I’m happy.
It hurts, but I can smile.
That’s why I can tell you from the depths of my being…
