Just make sure you're not doing anything stupid like Ongo with this set.

Add Ninurta Sash for haste and subtle blow in addition to some Pinga +1 to get recast down with minimal damage increase. If you're using no weapon, this set will do next to no damage. You should be closing all skillchains with helices.

ahhh low damage helix for closing skillchains, I had no idea where you were going with that at first lol. Because well... a low damage helix would just be wearing no gear at all lol

You can go empty on the weapon and gear the rest for subtle blow and fast cast (since it's likely that helices are involved). This is my set but I don't remember if it actually caps recast. Or subtle blow for that matter lol.

sets.buff['Immanence'] = {main=empty,sub="Chanter's Shield",ammo="Sapience Orb",
head="Lenore's Hairpin",neck="Bathy Choker +1",ear1="Assuage Earring",ear2="Digni. Earring",
body="Zendik Robe",hands="Arbatel Bracers +3",ring1="Chirich Ring +1",ring2="Chirich Ring +1",
back=gear.lugh_fc,waist="Ninurta's Sash",legs="Kaykaus Tights +1",feet="Peda. Loafers +3"}

If you're helixing for skillchains, you want the recast nice and low. A stun set should work just fine for t1 helix spells. Can make a set for helix2 spells to use a real nuke set.

remove items from this set that aren't helping hit haste cap or boost Fast Cast.

I can optimize it if you have a list of gear available to you. I will focus on subtle blow and recast like mentioned and then minimize damage if that's your goal.

I'm just wondering why you want a low damage helix set.

So it doesn't contribute to nerfing the following nukes

Also a 0 damage nuke/helix set for 6 steping on Bumba/Aminon for 0 TP feed and 0 damage Nocto/LuminoHelix 2 on B/F boss first SC.

Big fan of Ovate Rope to help accomplish that.

I wouldn't bother with a mode swap between helix for dmg & helix to not dmg.
once you get access to helix2, just make your gearswap or sets tell the difference between t1 & 2 helix spells.

obviously you could do better than me w/ t1 helix spells if you feel the need. doesn't monk's roll cap subtle blow on its own or does the roll count as SB2?
Code
	sets.midcast.Helix = sets.midcast.FastRecast
	sets.midcast['Pyrohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Cryohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Anemohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Geohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Ionohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Hydrohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Luminohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {main="Daybreak",sub="Ammurapi Shield",waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})
	sets.midcast['Noctohelix II'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {ring1="Archon Ring",waist="Skrymir Cord +1"})


edit: tried thinking up a set w/ cap subtle blow & haste. don't think it's cap recast but should be enough for skillchain spam.

Is there a reason to be concerned with SB helixes in sortie? I thought the only restraint would be the damage on B-G bosses.

It's nice for Aita and Aminon, otherwise inconsequential. You also probably have Monk's Roll for both of those things so gearing for it doesn't necessarily matter. I think low/0 dmg is more valuable overall

I mean, you still want to avoid any extra tp moves, cause why not. It's costing you nothing as you're purposely avoiding dealing damage.

And aminon, of course

I use this for B/F Bosses (I think it's why you are asking)
Nothing fancy and super lazy putting w/e I had together while doing ~10dmg helix and no recast issues.
Code
    main="Malignance Pole",
    sub="Khonsu",
    ammo="Sapience Orb",
    head={ name="Blistering Sallet +1", augments={'Path: A',}},
    body="Vrikodara Jupon",
    hands={ name="Gazu Bracelets +1", augments={'Path: A',}},
    legs="Doyen Pants",
    feet="Regal Pumps +1",
    neck="Voltsurge Torque",
    waist={ name="Shinjutsu-no-Obi +1", augments={'Path: A',}},
    left_ear="Magnetic Earring",
    right_ear="Loquac. Earring",
    left_ring="Defending Ring",
    right_ring="Kishar Ring",
    back={ name="Fi Follet Cape +1", augments={'Path: A',}},
