Cure clogs...Follow

Hey,
Im a fairly new whm, just hit 58 and wondering if the cure clogs are worth it,
this is for now and 75...

I have the Blessed feet ready, and working on the rostrum pumps,
should i use em for just macroing in? or all the time? not at all?

lol

thanks :)

FTFY

I do, however, macro in Rostrums for non cure spells like haste, regen, -nas etc.

If your going to get technical, the haste on the blessed pumps will not make your cures go off any faster. However, the Rostrums will make the cure go off at a slightly lower spell cast %.

Soooo, the real winner would be

/equip clogs
/cure
/wait
/equip rostrum

Edit: Guess I have played whm wrong all these years, I was under the assumption haste worked no matter when you equipped. But see below post. Even if he is a bit harsh in how he approaches a relatively calm converation.

Cure clogs are my favorite overall WHM footwear, and IMO never replaceable. Definitely worth keeping.

What you said wasn't hash, people just get butthurt when they're proven wrong. Anyway, out of all the feasible endgame feet gears for whm, what would you consider the best combo? Please explain your reasoning, as I'd really like to maximize my cure cast/recast time. Thanks in advance to anyone offering good advise

Im a bit lazy and i use official client so I pretty much sit in cure clogs for resting and healing (so if I have to get a cure off whilst kneeing I dont miss the fastcast bonus even if i miss my cure macro), switch in better gear for enfeebs and buffs obv

Don't forget the haste as well. Every second of lowered recast time helps, and with the Blessed pumps (+1 better obviously) and other gear whm has available, you can definitely shed some time off cure recasts to pump out cures just that much faster.

Exactly

I, for myself, wear Blessed Pants and Hands on for Cures. Besides Cure V, which I use Jet Seraweels. I wore Blessed Trousers for a while, but then switched back to Jet Seraweels.. It's pretty rare I bomb spam V, and need it to be up as soon as possible. I'd most likely alternate between V and IIIs. That said, I'd rather get the MND than the 1 second.

Anyhow, last I checked, wearing the Blessed Feet wasn't lowering recast timers on any Cures but V,

You do want a Haste build for Haste and Erases cycles, as well as Esuna now;

Capricorn Staff, Goliard Saio, Blessed Hands, Trousers, Pumps, and I added Swift Belt. I got Capricorn staff because I hate Walmart Turban with a passion and avoid as much as possible to wear it.

Also, if you aren't the type of WHM that haste themselves (I'm not, I only do it in two situations: Dynamis Xarcabard and what I'm about to say.); you need to Haste yourself in situation where you will constantly need Esuna. I only have one situation coming to my mind when I talk about this and it's Einherjar.. Leeches, Wivres, and/or Flyers, but mostly Leeches and Wivres. They SPAM Acid Mist/Demoralizing Roar. You need to take Attack Down off as soon as you can, since it could cost the run, especially if it's a Wing three.

To answer the original question. Cure Clogs. Don't bother with anything else. You've got all the other slots (aside from Body and Weapon) to do that.

If anything, just haste yourself full-time. That should probably even lower Cure IIs and IIIs.

i remember when cure clogs were 70k and i was considering buying them but figured i wouldnt play whm that much once i got RR3

Looking back at that now it would have been a wise investment seening as how they are now 350k on Odin

You could go from Cure Clogs to Rostrum Pumps and possibly reduce your recast -- Fast Cast will still reduce your recast time, if it's equipped when the spell fires... >.>

It's just, depending on the spell (and your other haste), it may only be a fraction -- so you may not get a reduction of 1 second on every spell.

Close, but not really. The recast reduction is going to be greater on the Blessed pumps. I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that %fast cast translates into recast reduction at a rate of 1/2, meaning that the 2% fast cast (I think that's what Rostrums have) will have the effect of 1% haste for recast timers, so the Blessed are still superior in that regard.

Well I obviously meant with other haste gears that wouldn't interfere with cure potency (i.e Body and Weapon)

I guess if I was using windower macros, I wouldn't mind trying to macro all of those lines. But with 6 lines a macro, I already have 2 macros to hit for cures.. let alone others like enfeeblings and what not.

In my opinion, unless it's Marduk Crackows (Yes!) on Cure V, it's a waste of efficiency to macro something else.

How are all you people doing this?:

/equip clogs
/ma cure
/wait
/equip whicheveryourpreference

If I macro a gear change just before a spell, the blinking 'breaks' the macro by losing target.

For obvious reasons, I don't want to put a /wait between the clogs and the casting.

And no, I don't want to use Blink Me Not.

Edit: Oh, I figured it out using <stpt> instead of <stpc>. /sigh I've been stubborn up to this point and refused to start using <stpt>, simply because I learned with <stpc>. I guess I'll have to change my ways. :(

I did the <lastst> method on my DNC. Works nicely :D

Fortunately, for most dances, only one piece of gear (usually an AF piece) needs to be macroed in and out, so the 6 line limit was actually sufficient. (If you have relic stuff, that may change, but relic is something I'll never have anyway)

/facepalm

I had completely forgotten that <lastst> even existed, as I've never used it before. I actually don't find your old macro a 'nightmare' at all, as I already hit another macro mid-cast while curing because I have so many gear swaps I like to do.

However, I already spent an hour changing all my WHM and RDM macros to <stpt> and <stal> earlier today, and I've been hearing how easy it makes things once you're used to it. I just hope not too many people die while I'm making the transition. lol

Thanks for your help!
