For some endgame dungeons such as [[Forgotten Time]], [[Varmundt's Biosphere]], and [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]], it is finally possible to farm these two areas with Psychic Wave with much better efficiency since the arrival of the {{#icon:480351}}{{#linkitem:480351|Circulation of Life Autumn}} and {{#icon:490485}}{{#linkitem:490485|Signet of Circulation Autumn}}— (2) two new additions to the Hall of Life series equipment. For comparison, every time I would farm [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere#Biosphere_Temple|Varmundt's Biosphere (Temple)]] I get significantly higher yields of '''750'''~'''820''' {{#icon:25731}}{{#linkitem:25731|Zeluniums}} and '''955'''~'''1060''' {{#icon:25729}}{{#linkitem:25729|Shadowdecons}} than when I am using the usual autocast Elemental Buster build which I would only get '''650'''~'''700''' Zeluniums and '''850'''~'''900''' Shadowdecons; this upscaled performance is reasonably attributed to the fact that PW is a lingering DoT skill, has a wider AoE, and is easily more spammable which give you plenty of opportunities to cover more grounds and kill more mob. However for [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2]], PW build falls flat and you're better off using your 4th job skills here. You don't really need to follow this build if it is not your cup of tea but if you're among those people who played the class as a Sorcerer in the past and played PW build like me; well, this is genuinely my love letter to them. As of today this is still my favorite build to play despite being here now in the 4th jobs era. I hope you'll consider this build and have fun with it just as I do. | For some endgame dungeons such as [[Forgotten Time]], [[Varmundt's Biosphere]], and [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]], it is finally possible to farm these two areas with Psychic Wave with much better efficiency since the arrival of the {{#icon:480351}}{{#linkitem:480351|Circulation of Life Autumn}} and {{#icon:490485}}{{#linkitem:490485|Signet of Circulation Autumn}}— (2) two new additions to the Hall of Life series equipment.

Since the implementation on 20 June 2025 of [https://forum.muhro.eu/d/3963-patch-notes-1168-20-june-2025 Patch #1168] which fixed all classes' skills involving their CD, ACD, FCT, and VCT requirements, an {{#icon:300377}}{{#linkitem:300377|(MVP) Ultra Limacina Card}} is now a must for PW build to be played to its best capacity. {{#icon:25420}}{{#linkitem:25420|Sorcerer Stone (Garment)}} can't be replaced with the combo {{#icon:25170}}{{#linkitem:25170|Minor Casting Stone (Garment)}} + {{#icon:1000521}}{{#linkitem:1000521|Minor Casting Stone (Dual)}} since the Sorcerer Stone (Garment) is needed to reduce PW's CD when paired with a {{#icon:25419}}{{#linkitem:25419|Professor Stone (Low)}}. | Since the implementation on 20 June 2025 of [https://forum.muhro.eu/d/3963-patch-notes-1168-20-june-2025 Patch #1168] which fixed all classes' skills involving their CD, ACD, FCT, and VCT requirements, an {{#icon:300377}}{{#linkitem:300377|(MVP) Ultra Limacina Card}} is now a must for PW build to be played to its best capacity. {{#icon:25420}}{{#linkitem:25420|Sorcerer Stone (Garment)}} can't be replaced with the combo {{#icon:25170}}{{#linkitem:25170|Minor Casting Stone (Garment)}} + {{#icon:1000521}}{{#linkitem:1000521|Minor Casting Stone (Dual)}} since the Sorcerer Stone (Garment) is needed to reduce PW's CD when paired with a {{#icon:25419}}{{#linkitem:25419|Professor Stone (Low)}}. When wearing drop rate shoes, you will now need to substitute it with either {{#icon:470094}}{{#linkitem:470094|Hero Boots-LT}} with {{#icon:310911}}{{#linkitem:310911|Knowledge of Wise Man}} or {{#icon:470204}}{{#linkitem:470204|Moan of Corruption}} to achieve 1.5 FCT. Other options to supply the missing FCT include the combo of Thanatos Accessories consisting of {{#icon:490052}}{{#linkitem:490052|Sinful Sapphire Ring}} + {{#icon:490053}}{{#linkitem:490053|Sinful Sapphire Necklace}}(0.3 FCT), {{#icon:490064}}{{#linkitem:490064|Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring}} + {{#icon:490065}}{{#linkitem:490065|Brilliant Light Sapphire Necklace}}(0.2 FCT), and wearing {{#icon:24747}}{{#linkitem:24747|Spell Caster Shadow Armor}} + {{#icon:24748}}{{#linkitem:24748|Spell Caster Shadow Shoes}} (0.3 FCT when both at +10). And though you will encounter a noticeable damage loss and instant cast problems with that set-up by losing key parts of your HoL set, it will still be good enough to let you farm low to mid game dungeons but not endgame dungeons anymore. | ||
