5080 WHM and the JP

Recently 5080 WHM subject was brought up in NA community, so I decided to take a look at it.

5080 is a basic JP WHM delve requirement, which means 50 cure potency and 80 casting speed. However, without 3rd party tool in like Ashita, it is not possible to use traditional precast/midcast set for this, as the cures will fire off before the player swap in midcast set if the player uses windower or default macro.

As we all know that JP does not like to use tool, they basically just make 1 5080 set and full time it. Something like this:


Further more, they also often rely on /RDM to reach 80 FC cap, since /RDM has 5 more casting speed than /SCH. 

That being said, it IS possible to make a 5080 hybrid with /SCH. But from what I've seen, majority of the JP WHM still prefer /RDM and save the extra slot on MP HP items or refresh. If you do search delve zones on JP time, almost every WHM sub RDM instead of SCH.

This is quite different from NA, since in NA community /SCH is considered the best. I honestly don't understand the logic behind /RDM too,  accession iz too gooood D: Even with Yagrush, accession cure IV SS always help in delve AoE spam hell. Let alone WHM without Yagrush. IMO, trading /SCH for 5% more casting speed and refresh isn't worth it.

I guess this is just the cultural difference thing. Maybe their COR BRD are too good with -na that they don't need /SCH, lol.

Or maybe it's just the fact that WHM is a job that you don't need to play absolutely perfect to have a fast run, unlike DD jobs that you must squeeze out every extra dmg to kill fast.

---------------------------------------
Speaking of which, I need a FC set for my COR/WHM too :X I can't always cast THAT much slower than a WHM right?
