On Healing Hands - A Comprehensive WHM Guide (v3)

Correct which is why these changes for refresh is part of the hybrid idle sets (one that balances refresh and safety for when mp is below 75%)
and daybreak + genmei is used for the general idle set.

however these sets needs to be updated since they haven't been updates with since before null gear.

I just returned to the game like 3 months ago so have some catching up to do

Can someone please post an updated whm.lua?

Mine's pretty basic but it's up-to-date with BIS: https://pastebin.com/QFDNyyY1

Keep in mind, WHM is one of those jobs that has a lot more room for personal touches than most jobs and not everyone agrees on what's optimal. (e.g. I'm extremely anti-Raetic Rod, but most on here seem to love it.) So some of your sets may look significantly different from mine, and still be perfectly ok if they cover the important stats.

Is sroda necklace the same effect as staunch tathlum +1 and Gurebu-Ogurebu's ring or is it something different?

Sroda gives +20 to bar-status spells elemental resistance. Eg +20 to ice element resistance when casted with barparalyzra and so forth.

It's bar-status specific.

It's different from the Resistance gained from gear like Staunch Tathlum.
It's basically just magic evasion, limited to that status effect. As such it's underwhelming and will never cause a 'resist!' message, only 'resist.'

So I've been sitting on this wonderful set I've just finally put together tonight. The only thing is you need to use merrits to cap SIRD.

ItemSet 401230

WHM Capped SIRD 73 FC and -25% Healing Magic Recast Time

sets["WHM Capped SIRD, 73FC, and -25% Heal Magic Recast Time"] = {
main="Asclepius",
sub="Culminus",
ammo="Staunch Tathlum +1",
head="Piety Cap +4",
neck="Clr. Torque +2",
ear1="Magnetic Earring",
ear2="Mendi. Earring",
body="Inyanga Jubbah +2",
hands="Chironic Gloves",
ring1="Medada's Ring",
ring2="Kishar Ring",
back="Alaunus's Cape",
waist="Embla Sash",
legs="Bunzi's Pants",
feet="Theo. Duckbills +4"
}

Casting in Inyanga Jubbah +2 over empy +3 or af +3/+4 is certainly a choice.

No one's picking up medada ring either.

its a precast set not midcast set.. my midcast set for cures is potency 75 and for curaga is potency 82 i think if i recall correctly. also I only picked this ring for this toon due to the fact I started out as whm lol went through all of tvr as whm and entered sortie as whm. it was a decent choice :)

Long as your midcast keeps the sird too, its where it actually matters anyway. PC SIRD is unlikely to get used since you're in that set for less than a second

I've got the perfect SIRD set. It's called aquaveil buff with the following equipment:

vadose rod
chironic hat
regal cuffs
emphatikos rope
shedir seraweels

That set lasts > 15 minutes (with a duration set in other slots) and can take 7 hits before it wears off. More than enough to almost never need to recast.

Edit: Even for odyssey gaol fights. Matamatas and crabs are super super slow auto attacks, so very easy to cast in between. Only problematic one there is the grasshoppers on Xevi.

Okay i guess that makes sense! hmm imma have to edit my lua to switch midcast sets somehow. potency and sird lines.
