PERMA Weapon Choice. What's Your Favorite Flavor?

Thank you for sharing your sets. Once I reach Home I will share my set. but if your macro is working as shown below:-

/equip main "empy staff"
/equip merlinc
/equipset midcast <wait 1>
/equip idle/dt

if the above macro register ur mid cast set it will be better than mine but if it dont register midcast set, it will just work as dt and will not affect cure spell. however if your macro is working I will switch to it without a doubt.

the benefit of staff is clear for sch it make it easier to cap fc without needing a whole set as shown using only 3 pieces of equipment to cap it.

Yes. This is exactly why I made the staff and what I love about it. I use it in every single SCH macro I have, it's insanely good.

It just has no place in a midcast macro, IMO. Maybe Death or something, but beyond that it's just a macro swapping piece for me (and a lockstyle).

Even though it's not relevant to the topic of Hvergelmir, for WHM I use: Inyanga Jubbah, Cleric's Torque+2, & Piety Cap+3 (requires you to have Hygieia clogs, FC cape, & Ebers Pantaloons in idle set)

For BLM it's easy since Elemental Celerity is absurdly good, you only need 42%. Wicce Petasos+3 is already a good idle piece and has another 18%, and I idle in a 10% FC cape as well so it only takes 2 pieces of gear to get to FC cap (for elemental magic).

RDM also has an easy time since they have strong traits, I use Atrophy Chapeau, Vitiation Tabard, and Merlinic Crackows.

I haven't implemented a similar strategy for some spell categories for some jobs (enhancing for WHM, curing for BLM, BRD, etc.), or at all for certain mages (GEO, SMN), but it's probably possible to do the same thing for nearly every situation, at least reasonably well. I very much prefer having proper potency sets on for my spells rather than making hybrid nonsense which sacrifices potency for convenience (or for no reason)

Good we had this discussion, cause the vanila limitations or what works and don't are not clear, or I would not make a hybrid set if i knew just adding it as 3 line of equip in macro works and midcast will work and wont be locked. I play BLM and i use it for Death.

People overcomplicate the equipset restrictions. Here's how it works:

You cannot use /equipset for 1 second after using any /equipset

That's it. /equip slot item is fine, you can do that 1000 times a second if you want, you will never throw an error. It's literally just using /equipset after doing another /equipset.

I see valuable information, Thank you very much. I will have amend lots of macros today.
