i dont think it was meant to be about sch vs blm. i have both leveled and geared well. when i did the Indra+2 staff trial. I was able to Parsimony + WaterV. sneak up. move to fomor nms kill mousses on the way rinse repeat. If waterV timer wasnt up. I did stone5+water2. and still didnt have mp issues. 1 shot mousses in Bostaunieux Oubliette.
Also im kinda curious where u happened to find 8 mouses together. Theres 4 by the Jelly ring NM. another 2 on the way to the fomor NMs. Theres also 2 haunts which do aggro to sound, by those 2 additional mousses. so unless u pulled those with your batch... umm yah....

Get some damn Hmp gear, sublimation w/ stoneskin up, have your refresh body + serp set + owleyes + hairpin + subligar.
The point that several us were making is that SCH doesnt require a hmp set or much refresh gear at all to maintain a full mp pool OUTSIDE abyssea. The fact that u suggest an hmp set, requires that u rest, which slows down ur performance. I never rested at all.
Also with the owleyes. blm/sch pulling 10+ mobs will eat through ur phalanxless stoneskin in 3-4hits. owleyes contributes to a refresh set not a PDT set. its +10% dmg taken. huge diff than fulltiming terra's/earth. Even if u had cheviot, darkx2, twiglith, ud only be reducing -14% pdt. I'm assuming u used refresh subligar since u mentioned that...
Bottom line in abyssea. BLM/rdm is great for trials if the mobs are in abyssea.. If they dont exist in abyssea like weapons. SCH will be much more efficient because ur able to 1 shot mobs with no resting time.
