Level 50 Scholar... What to get next?

Hey all,

I am a level 50 scholar who's about to reach 900 mytho again next week.

My highest level gear are an Allagan head piece, and the level 90 argute gown. everything else is darklight bar the strategos ring.

Now the obvious thing to spend my mytho would be to make my book +1. However I will only gain 6 points in stats and +3 dmg (which affects healing I know) so is this really worth it? Should I spend it instead on the level 90 scholar shoes + belt/ the pants/or gear up on accessories?

Your suggestions are welcome.

Get pants as the upgrade for pants is T5

Thank you for your suggestion.

Will this, however, offer me the biggest buff in my healing capabilities?

+1 Always gives largest buff but pants will yield greatest survivibility which is what you need for T5 (T5 book being best in slot)

Get the book then pants

Book will give you about 60hp and 30 hp per heal. For you and your fairy

Since this thread is similar to what I'm about to ask, might as well just ask here instead.

After getting +1 Relic and Pants, what would be the next optimal one to buy?

That depends on you + your coil group

I would say don't buy head (Allagan gives the EXACT same stats and drop turn 2)
Body is better then allagan

So i would go maybe get Allagan Head + Vanya body HQ (till you get argute)

For SCH here are the BIS imo


Weapon Allagan (turn 5 so get Omnilex +1 first)
Head Allagan or AF2 (allagan is free)
Body AF2
Hands Allagan (yay turn 1)
Legs AF2 or Allagan (same stats but Allagan turn 5 so i would get AF2)
Boots AF2
Accessories ALL Heroes

Exept ring that is Allagan + Hero


So the order you should buy if you get a good coil group imo

Weapon then legs then body then all accessories then boots (boots are the one that gives the less significant upgrade vs allagan)

Currently using this actually,

Weapon : Omnilex +1
Head : Allagan
Body : Vanya (+27 Crit, +6 Piety meld)
Gloves : Darklight
Legs : AF2
Shoes : Darklight

As for the accessories, I was thinking of going fully i70 for the sake of having VIT materia. Currently using i70 Earring and i70 Ring.

You dont need, you have more AF2 then me so you should have more then me (I have 4k with pt and food)

Just get Body next then go on ACCessories and keep boots last

Just hope you can get Allagan gloves soon

Actually if the soft crit cap really is around 450, you'r better off getting the Allagan chest.

SCH - gear if 450-ish crit is soft cap

Book - Relic/AG (Unless you can get AG one for sure within 3 weeks from now get your Relic +1. It's just the biggest stat upgrade for your heals, and you will reach that 450+ crit even with relic)
Head - Myth/AG
Chest - AG
Pants - Myth/AG
Gloves - AG
Boots - Myth/AG

Neck - AG/(Myth more PIE)
Bracelet - Myth
Earring - AG
Rings - AG + Myth

um making research

For scholars, always get Omnilex +1 first. The weapon damage will give you the largest healing increase possible. After that, get Argute Pants.

From there, you have a decision to make based on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...=sharing#gid=0

I personally advise people to go with Det+Allagan. You'll get good crit, capped Det, and you'll only lose about 3% crit. I personally believe the race to crit is an attempt to maximize Adlo, but it seeks to really circumvent Scholar as a sustained class to make us a burst class.

The only place where Crit-heavy shines in a statistically significant way is spamming Adlo. You should never spam Adlo. You'll get roughly 15-20 casts before you're OOM. 4:1 Physick:Adlo will keep you casting about 10+ minutes.

Spamming Physick only, the stats are roughly the same. Weaving in 4 Physick, 1 Adlo, a more realistic healing rotation, the scholar will do about the same with Crit and Det (crit provides a larger return, but it's only a couple thousand healed/shielded). A scholar with Det weighting will heal less on the crit, but they'll heal more on sustained. I prefer sustained, others prefer crit for the big Adlo number.

With that said, after you get Omnilex and pants (both can be used in either set), you can fork the decision tree here, in order:

Crit - Argute Gown
Crit - Hero's Belt
Crit - Hero's Neck
Crit - Hero's Earring
Crit - Hero's Bracers
Crit - Hero's Ring
Done with Myth.

Det - Hero's Belt
Det - Hero's Bracers
Det - Hero's Ring
Done with Myth.

Det will require more Allagan. Crit will require more Myth.

I would not advise anyone stack speed as it does lower output in every single way due to the low values of speed right now. When speed is more prevalent, it could overcome Crit and Det.

Thanks for the advice folks.

I only went with the gown first as really I could not continue to run coil with strategos chest...

I have my +1 book now and will be saving for my pants next.

Cheers,

Take pieces that give hp first. Then the rest !
