Ive been using /sch on my blm just for the dark arts + in elemental magic, but Ive been seeing alot of people still use /rdm or /whm saying its better for blm. Any opinions here?

/smn, auto refresh is baller, you get an extra sleep with shiva, and diabolos can give you mab.

/WHM if you need to heal (lowmanning seals perhaps), /BRD if you need to for procs, otherwise /RDM.

I prefer /rdm, but since my group is lowman (2-3 people +1 mule) I usually have to /whm for extra healing.

That being said, I don't yet have my sch sub leveled, so I have not tested that out personally. :-( I hope to have it decently leveled real soon.

Nuking: /RDM for fast cast, extra INT, Convert, and extra buffs like Phalanx.

Lowmanning: /WHM for more MND and healing.

I wouldnt recommend /SCH for BLM. Doesnt really add anything BLM innately has or anything the other subs adds.

By lvl 99 BLM/SCH will be able to use the weather spells up to Hailstorm, and who knows, maybe they will lower the remaining 3 weather spells simply because it would seem pointless to leave them out.. then again, SE will always be SE.

With the ability to trigger the weather effects on the Obis though /SCH sub shouldn't be too bad, no?

It's not really that bad now. Like 1-2 more int. Slightly slower casting then /rdm and no gravity and not as good healing as /whm but meh. Of course once we lose omfg refresh /whm probably wont be as popular either while the enhanced sublimation keeps /sch near rdms capabilities as far as mp recovery.

But yeah weather with obi/twilight would be good alot of the time. Heck could always help out and weather other people too. Give that cor firestorm :). Strats always useful.

expect they prolly will make the weather effects sch main only.

I don't think SE is that stupid to let you exploit a triggered gear like that so easily.

On the contrary, I believe they'll keep it /SCH able. Remove that and there will be little to no reason for SCH sub at all.
Try imagine /RDM sub at 75 had phalanx or gravity been RDM main onry. It would've made a lot less sense.

Remember also we are now in EasyMode

Sorry but shiva nor Diablos will be of much help since your subbing it and if your needing shiva to land extra sleeps something is really wrong here. The auto-refresh isnt that great either u loss better traits from /SCH and/or /RDM.

As the Level cap increases I see /SCH being the most common sub for BLM to use due to Weather spells while using Twilight mantle/Elemental Obi. Under Dark Arts You get cheaper/faster and lower recasting time on BLM spells. Then with you got Alacrity to make your casting time and recast even lower. Sublimation isnt too bad either. Another added bonus is Manifestation giving you many more AOE enfeebles, Manifestation Aspir and Sleep is rather fun
