SCH Storm Question

[Malithar]

SCH's main benefit to SMN was Reraise, but now that Cait Sith provides it RDM is by far the better subjob.

I'd argue Sch is still better, as you're capable of using Dark Arts and nuking with the best. Smn is on all of the nuking staves, Hagondes, and 119 plasm set. Granted, it depends on the content you're doing, solo or party, and whether or not you really need that refresh.

I hope you're joking about nuking on SMN, but if you're not then kudos for playing in a creative way. Wearing MAB/M.Acc gear would mean your avatar is costing you 10+ mp/tick depending on how much gear you swap out, all while you're losing even more MP nuking. I just pull out my staff and whack things with Haste/Phalanx on when soloing. To each his own.

Not joking at all. Precast switch to MAB gear, switch back to -perp gear after the spell completes, back to MAB when nuking again, bonus points for watching for your perp tics and nuking inbetween them, to avoid the large jump in tics. Stone 1 is pretty much all I ever use, as anything else is generally a terrible use of MP. But an extra 1-1.3k-ish damage for 4 MP is well worth the effort IMO. It's hardly an issue in party play. However, in solo play, it can be iffy because avatars still lose hate rather quickly.

smn/sch gets access to some insane nuke sets (hagondes etc etc.) your tier 1 should do at least 1.5k+ upwards depending ontarget and your gear... YES SMN/SCH CAN NUKE
