* Spell Fist also doesn't need high DEX and HIT rate since it ignores FLEE for it is a magical attack in nature. | * Spell Fist also doesn't need high DEX and HIT rate since it ignores FLEE for it is a magical attack in nature. | ||
* Any direct buffs made to the three elemental bolts whether they are skill modifiers (i.e. {{#icon:300267}}{{#linkitem:300267|Crow Baron Card}}& {{#icon:300268}}{{#linkitem:300268|Crow Duke Card}}combo) or the EM's High Elemental's Passive Mode will always be translated into Spell Fist's individual hits. | |||
* Ideally, you'd want to have an FCT lower than 1 second or VCT lower than 90% so you can't instant cast your bolt skills. Yes, that may sound absurd but that's because you'd need to not completely cast your elemental bolts so you could apply Spell Fist as an active skill. Aim your bolt skills on a target, cast it, then immediately press Spell Fist. Instant casting your bolt skills will make it impossible for you to activate Spell Fist. | * Ideally, you'd want to have an FCT lower than 1 second or VCT lower than 90% so you can't instant cast your bolt skills.

If you're looking to spice things up and wanting a different flavor in your builds, then well maybe '''{{#skill:2445}}''' is the build you're looking for! This build is more of a 'for fun' build and you can never expect it to keep up with the meta build now for Elemental Master. EMs are flexible with their choices of elements, they use all of their elemental AoEs in a skill rotation, and even their own ultimate can be endowed. But if you want to bonk monsters to death with the power of knowledge then this section of the guide is for you! Spell Fist won't be getting gear progression stages though as I expect that by the time you invest on this fun build, you're already done with your main build as you should be. | If you're looking to spice things up and wanting a different flavor in your builds, then well maybe '''{{#skill:2445}}''' is the build you're looking for!

Spell Fist build hasn't changed that much since its implementation during the 3rd job era. It's only gotten stronger like most skills that came with it and before it due to the 4th job traits. Spell Fist gameplay remains the same wherein you'll need to aim and cast your chosen elemental bolt skill first on a target then immediately apply Spell Fist. Though for the 4th jobs skill tree, it's gotten a blink skill in the form of '''{{#skill:6517}}''' which made farming as a Spell Fist EM much tolerable. All of our High Elementals on Passive Mode also complements Spell Fist. When in Passive Mode, your bolt skills corresponding to the summoned High Elementals gets increased base damage | Spell Fist build hasn't changed that much since its implementation during the 3rd job era.

All of our High Elementals on Passive Mode also complements Spell Fist. When in Passive Mode, your bolt skills corresponding to the summoned High Elementals gets increased base damage by adding a value of +400% on its base MAtk%. For example, if a '''Level 1''' '''{{#skill:19}}''' skill does 100% Fire property magic damage per hit/bolt, this would translate to 1000% at '''Level 10'''—effectively 5000% (100% + 400% x Skill Lv.10); on top of that, you will also have a chance to autocast the highest level learned of that bolt skill. And that's the extent of what's improved with Spell Fist so far; most of the 4th job skills complement the caster build of an EM. | ||
I've tried Spell Fist too and built the gears needed to "make it work" but it's still haunted by the curse of being in melee range and lack of wide AoE making it hard to use while farming. Its main source of damage will be coming from outdated 1st Job Mage skills with the likes of '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:14}}''', and '''{{#skill:20}}''' and even though these skills will get supplemented by your '''{{#skill:279}}''' and '''{{#skill:482}}''' skills it still won't be enough as the elemental bolts don't scale with your base level and their MAtk% is comparably lower than your 4th Job or even your 3rd Job skills. There are little to none existing equipment that give Spell Fist modifier too besides the {{#icon:18793}}{{#linkitem:118793|Sorc Night Cap}}, which gets outshined by {{#icon:400662}}{{#linkitem:400662|Furious Crown (Elemental Master)}} that lets you autocast the 4th Job skill '''{{#skill:5373}}''' when paired with {{#icon:540091}}{{#linkitem:540091|Furious Grimoire}}. It's also discouraging to use strong garment cards like {{#icon:27362}}{{#linkitem:27362|(MVP) Polluted Spider Queen Card}} because of its side effect of you receiving more damage against all properties. With all that being said, I advise you to play this build for fun and if and only if you really know what you're going into. It'll always going to have that charm as being a unique build to play. | I've tried Spell Fist too and built the gears needed to "make it work" but it's still haunted by the curse of being in melee range and lack of wide AoE making it hard to use while farming.
