Choi's SVS Arch Mage Guide: Difference between revisions

[[Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO]] has a very useful section for Gear Progression and Useful Cards, so please check that out! The information I will provide for Gear Progression will be more specific to Magic Damage Classes, particularly SVS Build Arch Mages. As you read through, you can look at the [[Choi's_Guide_To_Magic#Magic_Gear_Progression|Magic Gear Progression Table on my Guide to Magic]]. This table will have links that will guide you to the relevant pages.  

At Level 150, you can start using {{#item:470021}}, which can be obtained after completing the [[17.1_Illusion| 17.1 Questline]] from the [[Grace_Set| Sentinel NPC]]. The boots are the easiest way to obtain some Fixed Cast Reduction, providing .5s at Refine Level 7.<br>

At Level 170, you will have access to the [[Illusion_of_Labyrinth_Equipment| Illusion of Labyrinth and its related equipment]]. The Illusion Morpheus Set will provide a good boost in damage, and a +9 {{#item:19428}} will give you Skill Cast Interruption Protection. <br>

| Armor || {{#item:450186}} or +7 to +9 {{#item:450110}} || Crimson Bolt is a good secondary ability while you level.  

Zeny Tip: [[Rudus|Rudus F4]] will be a great place to farm Zelunium and Shadowdecon until you're strong enough to farm in [[Niflheim|Niflheim Dungeon F2]] and [[Clock Tower Unknown Basement|Clock Tower Basement]]

{{#skill:5235}} Build is a very powerful build that provides both great damage and supportive abilities, and it thrives in party settings with multiple DPS. This build is especially useful for difficult bosses like {{#linkmob:20994}} and {{#linkmob:22174}}. With Comet and All Bloom, you can increase the overall output of your party's damage by a significant amount, especially if they are using fire element. Generally, most concepts from the SVS build will carry over in this build. However, here are some additional details to help you with the build:  

{{#skill:5235}} has a 1.5s FCT, .3s cooldown, and a .5s aftercast delay. To maximize your casts per second, your goal should be to get 1.5s fixed cast reduction, 100% VCT reduction, and at least 40% ACD reduction and 185 ASPD. Additionally, you can opt to get 100% VCT through stats. [[Choi's_Guide_To_Magic#Stats_and_Traits|More information on VCT, ACD, and ASPD requirements can be found in the Guide to Magic]].
