For all thse posting about SCH having to use strategems to get close to BLM casting speed:

SCH can reach 80% Fast Cast cap now with some Rubeus set pieces. This means THEY CAN CAST AS FAST AS A BLM; HAVING THE SAME 80% FAST CAST CAP ON NUKES.

Thankyou.

@ Dramaica:

Read the OP, I said in context of a proccing free game after this update.

Also BLM JA bonuses still give Thundaja less than SCH Thunder V, + Thunder V is about 70% more mp efficient than Thundaja from BLM.

Please dont refer to "you" (i.e scholar). I have both jobs levelled.

tch!
Why you keep talking about thunder? what about ice? and the rest of elements?

There are extremely few fights in which BLM damage is relevant, and botulus rex is probably the only current one. Arch Dynamis lord will likely use a BLM party for groups that want to spam it, as it opens up a possible strategy for non-2hr with a meteor volley to finish it. BLM not being restricted by stratagems is what gives it the advantage, and meteor will pretty much destroy any bonuses SCH had in the damage department. You also lose out the ability of doing aga damage, which is a fairly big deal sometimes.

BLM > SCH simply because a blm doesn't have to make these threads trying to sell it's usefulness.

I remember, back in the old days, taking two BLMs and a leech to this thing called a burning circle. We would spam the spell Stonega II in order to kill the mobs and hopefully get a decent treasure coffer for the person leeching so we could make some money.

Days of the dinosaurs.

SCH is an embrava tool that can be a make-shift healer/nuker, there is nothing current that benefits much from SCHs nuking besides occasional physical resistant nyzul mobs.

the fact that you structured the OP so poorly pretty much derails your point. You list all the pros for sch, pointing out things that blm can do as well, but fail to list that in the BLM pros. Its pretty hard to take you seriously when you cant even be serious about the benefits of both jobs in question.

You are missing the point, the only use nuking has at the moment is in a proc reliant setting, or for aga killing.

In Nyzul magic related DoT is near worthless. Even at 75, you brought a mage to keep everyone cured and statuses clean. Melee DoT can't be touched, there is no reason in utilizing a job that is MP dependant in a timed event. There were a few mobs that were melee resistant, but the RDM could handle it.

And even then, if you are blasting something to bits, a SCH will run out of stratagems and nukes while the BLM will keep on going due to a greater number of nukes available.

How can i list the same pro's I have listed in SCH when the comparison is between the two? If you want to talk and deal with semantics then please understand the very nature of a comparison.

That's right SCH is only better with DOT and Buffs that's how Tanaka wants SCH to be ..the buff/dot master keep bragging SCH nukes better than BLM and you'll eat a BARANCE hammer lawl ..

If you can't list them in the BLM section because they are shared by both, then you can't list them in the SCH section either. Equality.

sch does in fact beat out blm in terms of endurance fights with higher DoT, but the biggest thing that made sch good was it's mp conservation which was vastly better than a blm. BUT as we know that in cases such as abyssea and voidwatch mp has stopped being an issue thus the decline on sch's potential. While yes sch can throw out bigger numbers than blm it's limited by it's strategems while they can recharge at a decent rate they wont really compare to a blm who is free to rain as if none of it's spells cost mp due to temp items.


to put it simply: in situations where mp items are rare and the best you can get is a vile elixer +1, sch wins hands down. in situations where there are easy mp restoration such as atmas and ether temp items, blm wins.

SCH is a great job it's strong if used correctly but were way past the 75 days and SCH has been dropped down the list of useful severely, no cure 5 limits us to that gimp cure 4 and with the adjustments to cure potency it still wont out do cure 5/6 unless you're gonna rapture, SCH nukes are overpowered but highly limited to single target's and you will get your squishy *** squashed fast once SS and phalanx drop, And finally our best buff requires our 2hr ability and since WHM can do boost spells and give you +25 to stat there goes our stormsurge.

Any Scholar worth their salt will know to not just nuke. If you only wanted to nuke, level Black Mage.

the BLM will keep on going until it runs out of MP; which will be long before the SCH.

Greater number of nukes are utterly irrelevant as Tier V & IV can be spammed on SCH with occasional Helix.

You fail to see any of the OP's points methinks.

Pretty sure it's clear that he says he has 10k+ nukes consistanly is that he is on the test server with a maxed out Tupsimati with maxed out stats, etc.

Btw if you are spamming T5/T4 you are gonna have to switch elements thus negating your weather advantage ie much weaker than BLM. And if you are spamming, you will run out of Stratagems. And the only time where spamming really happens is when MP is not an issue.

Its obvious you aren't good at this. You list the pros of each job, period. Listing that Sch can get 80% FC, but failing to list Blm can get 80% FC, is going to result in everyone pointing out that fact, which is exactly what happened in this thread. If you want to argue for sch fine, but showing the blatant bias and disrespect towards BLM in your OP is pretty much going to illegitamize your stance.

To answer your question, NO. No one is going to jump on the sch bandwagon to nuke things, because what exactly does sch nuke? Nothing. No event needs a sch to nuke things, they just need you to cure people. Better off comparing sch to whm.

If a SCH wants to conserve MP, they'd use Parsimony. If you really want to out-epeen a BLM, you'd Ebullience, right?

Okay, so... Since you are saying SCH can manage mp so good and out-nuke a BLM, I'm going to assume you are using Parsimony+Ebullience every nuke. In that case, you'd only do maybe 3 nukes before you are out of stratagems. What then?

Black Mage will still be able to throw out nukes while you sit and play with your thumbs until you get stratagems.
