Immanence helix midcast:
When you don't mind dealing some damage as well.
ItemSet 369397
11s~ recast with haste.
When you want to deal as little damage as possible but still recast quickly.
ItemSet 369393
*merlinic FC+7% aug
13s~ recast with haste.
Helix for damage: (Helix II)
ItemSet 325975
ItemSet 369343
not sure if merlinic hood + amalric body is better.
ItemSet 325978
sacro cord & mujin band swap for noctohelix.
Also not sure if freke ring beats mujin band for either helix; it probably does though for kaustra thanks to the low base damage (no mDMG boosting).
edit: merlinic feet are better than jhakri with a very nice augment.For the first 50 ΔINT, it's 2dmg=1INT, the next 50 is 1 for 1, so enki is king until you're over 100 ΔINT, at which point you could wear Zuuxowu grip for dmg or Khonsu for accuracy.
for ammo, outside of the first 50 ΔINT, dosis probably wins in damage, but I like accracy too much to pass up pemphredo: especially since the difference is probably 50dmg or less.

Curious if anyone could show me their helix sets? I am trying to decide between a few pieces of gear currently. Mainly the zuuxowu grip and dosis tathlum.
Should I be aiming for magic damage+?

But what's the gap between this and your best akademos setup? There is a whole lot of "is it worth the inv space / money" here I feel could be left to each person to decide.
It's one thing to say it's better, but the real question is by how much.

T1 helix: recast & haste if you use them for your skillchains.
for dmg: affinity > magic burst > magic damage > mab > int
T2 helix: 9999dmg > duration > reduce inventory
affinity > magic burst > mab~mdmg~int
base damage is probably going to be 450~500. MAB in the above set is (probably) just over 500, so mab & mdmg will be close to 1 for 1. and dINT from 51~100 =1mdmg so might as well think of that as mdmg. (assumed 25mab on the head in addition to the MBB+11)
If his merlinic hood only had 7MB, mallquis trews +2 very well could beat amalric in that slot; but that's an extra inventory space that is not going to be used for anything aside from helix. (honestly it might win by a tiny bit even with MB+11 hat)

So appearently the adjustments are "just" Sublimation restoring more MP and Klimaform lasting longer.

What would you want instead?
If they had reworked tier 2 merits some, taking the /jas off, and kinda giving us a mix of blm, and rdm merits, like:
Elemental Magic Accuracy = +3 /merit
Elemental Magic Attack Bonus = +3% /merit
Helix Duration = +1 tock /merit
Enhancing Magic Duration = +10 sec /merit
Klimaform Duration = +12 sec /merit
Would take a return to mb strats to do that, or an overhaul in its ability as a healer, still bit of a meh update for sch, looking better than bst though.

And boy did it show with those augment placements.
So unless it's something that's a tweak to a single merit JA/T like Desperate Blows or Strafe, there's not going to be a wholesale removal of merit JAs for any job.

I was kinda also hoping for merited stratagems to become normal stratagems, so we could get different merit categories (enha duration, stratagems recast, max number of strats, macc, mab, I dunno stuff like that)

Well that’s genuinely disappointing.
Saves me from bothering with a video though, clouds and silver lining.

Was hoping for adjustments to the enmity and TP lone of sch only spells.
SCH geting an adjustment, yay!
eh ok ic
eh ok ic
Can still hope for an adjustment to enhancing magic spells to come in the future I guess but I wouldn't count on that at this point.
Just like I wouldn't count on them removing the merited Stratagems and putting some useful Merits in their place.

Body is excellent for Magic Bursts if you need the accuracy. Feet for grimoir fast cast
Asura.Kusaregedo said: »
what's the consensus for order of upgrading af+3? i was looking at head and hands but might be overlooking something, still new to the job.
Asura.Toralin said: »
Relic or artifact?
Af - feet break the fc cap
Relic - body for enhancing
Af - feet break the fc cap

Chimerawizard said: »
Feet are great for above mentioned
Hands are BiS FC.
Legs are great for cures and cursna. also enhancing skill if that becomes relevant after the update.
Head is ... sublimation idle
Body is ...
All pieces are amazing for magic accuracy.
If you're using the relic head to break the FC cap, remember Grimoire: Spellcasting time cap's at 15%, so you're getting almost nothing from wearing both. (base 10%+gear 15% for a total of 25% reduction)

These are just my personal views on af/relic pieces:
The AF set itself will provide you with top notch macc set.
Head- Sublimation set, as well as solid fc piece however better options such as merlinic with augment or amalric
Body- Idle set with high meva and refresh +3/mb piece
*Ambu +2 gives 1 extra tic refresh at cost of meva if you prefer that
Hands- mentioned above
Legs- Cure piece IF you don't use kaykaus +1
Feet- mentioned above
Relic Set has some nice uses also.
Head- MB set
Body- Enhancing duration/sublimation set
Hands- paired with 4/5 af +2/3 and regal earring make for great enfeebling set with tons of macc

Earlyer i used Fire > Thunder II (iirc) to make fusion, now i swaped to Fire > Ionohelix for longer MB window.
But now i havnt been able to make light out of it with Shark bite, have i just been "unlucky" with my timing or is it a different timing cause of clsoing with a helix?

wait a bit longer before you close with shark bite.
helix has a long animation.

It's definitely longer. Been that way for a while now (forever maybe?).
This guy is the best player of all time.

does HM normally have that much HP or is that just a result of trust campaign?

Orpheus's Sash work for helix's. Seen a decent boost in Damage from it. I knew the Hachirin-no-Obi did not work, so I never tried to sash until this morning.
