Your actions are making the entire FFXI community suffer

Learning a job is fulltiming a staff with no relevant mage stats (woo MP!) and a weaponskill that restores MP when half the time you could suffice by riding JAs and utilizing easily acquired refresh pieces to idle in?

Oh really now? That's the best knowledge you have to share with us? Seriously if you think mage class is easy to play I question what your skills are as a DD?

You're making a dig at Abyssea when clearly you've as much to learn as the rest of us.

I freely admit im not the best SCH but I know well enough that fulltiming Hvergelmir is a horrible decision akin to wanting to melee BLM to utilize the aftermath of the Mythic staff. It sounds good on paper just like taking certain jobs to specific events sounds good until you're knee deep in the event and realize just how ineffective things become.

The benefits of +1 refresh using something as simple as an Owleyes in combination with Genbu's Shield for idling and swapping into Magians/Tefnut/Soothsayers trumps any benefit being able to fill your MP bar will ever provide. Your heals will be better, your nukes more effective, debuffs will stick more frequently and this in your main slot, arguably the most powerful slot for any job.

Again, provide an event where padding MP is so crucial and with some combination of gear and proper JA usage you can do better than using Hvergelmir. Delve EXP? Use Regen, Sublimation, Penury Cures and most of the time you should be able to maintain a safe buffer MP-wise and that is before you factor in the songs/rolls you should be receiving from someone.

Easy refresh/idle build. Orveil, Bokwus or Nefer gear are all easily acquired bodypieces and I tossed in the Nefer Khat since its easier to obtain than a Refresh hairpin for most. The Serpentes pieces are easily acquired, Sublimation gear can be idled in when you aren't doing anything for even more Refresh. Access to Convert and Refresh from /RDM give you further MP saving options on top of the ones native to Scholar. The hardest piece in that build to get is Nares and you can replace that with Subligar from Abyssea.

Yeah I see your build is for refresh. And that's fine if it works for you. But then I never have to depend on Bard / Cor to keep my MP up which provides them an easier job by only focusing on DD.

Penury is good I admit but would rather use the strategems for Perpetuance and Accession. And when I don't have 2 strategems to use on Regen V. Accession is enough to help you keep them healed.

You are dealing with 99 who are well geared for these events. So there is no reason to be "overgeared" for every thing.

I barely find the need to use Nefer khat and mostly keep AF3 headpiece on for most occasions unless I'm desperate for MP then ill switch over with Serpentes set.

However...

Why on earth would you ever replace Nefer Khat with a refresh pin when Hekas Kilasiris is only 1 tick and both as set give you 3MP per tick? These are small details that matter >.>

And well why you fill up valuable slots with refresh gear....
