The Black Sacrament -- A Guide To Black Mage

What does a modern Khatvanga Occult Acumen nuking set look like?

There hasn't been any new occult omen gear, so exactly the same as it has been, no?

Khatvanga is a very poor nuking staff compared to other options. I'd bet Mpaca's Staff out-nukes it and has refresh+2 on top as well.

Use club/shield and moonlight. Need more mp, switch to staff and AF coat, cast one impact in an OA set -> Myrkr -> back to club/shield.

AF coat won't ever give you back more MP than the cost of the spell. It cannot be used to entirely refill MP.

Most gearswaps have a setup for auto-using AF coat when MP is under some threshold, usually 40-30%. The same setup can be used to auto-swap to staff on that same threshold if you want.

Then it's just nuke as normal, when you see yourself in a staff wait for TP and use Myrkr to get back to full MP.

Occult isn't for damage, it's for myrkr and khat is the best (2nd best... 3rd best) myrkr staff

magian staff and 119 hvr are kinda silly though

You need to nuke to get TP to Myrkr. Which is where impact comes in, one cast and you have >1k TP with a good OA set.

How is nuking for ***dmg with one staff so you can get slightly more MP on Myrkr better than nuking for more dmg while waiting for slightly more TP with another staff.

Idk how much MP a 500 TP bonus works out to.

You don't need OA sets for staff nukes, just nuke normally if you're not doing impact. As long as the dmg is comparable to club, it won't hurt you much.

The occult nuke is already going to be bad comparatively, in occult gear, so, yeah

The 500 tp bonus would be worth 300~350 mp or so. Extra 10% of max mp, whatever that is in your myrkr set

(Only applicable if you're not full timing staff) If youre already maining staff then it's not a thing you do.

I'm saying you don't need to nuke in occult gear for ***dmg just so you can get TP.

You can nuke normally, in a staff, for very close to club dmg and get TP at the same time.

And for the people who DON'T nuke in a staff

Want the optimal set to switch for an optimal myrkr.

It's not complicated. It doesn't matter why.

"Then just use moonlight"

Which I always say.

Nothing says efficiency like changing weapons every 6 nukes to get your MP back, thus dropping all of the TP you gained from those 6 nukes.

If someone asks you what kind of condoms they should use to swallow razorblades, you shouldn't give them a recommendation, you should tell them not to swallow *** razorblades.

Use a GD staff, lock it, and then use Myrkr (with a proper set) when your MP gets low.
