I could care less unless they make it cost decently more than refresh or shorter duration.

I mean as is the number of situations where using accession on refresh is a smart and not just lazy thing are limited to being in a blm pt pretty much

There is little need for it right now.

The only reason to use it vs keep up a cycle is to save mp. And since it doubles mp cost and you could've saved more mp using parsimony on cure IV for example it means you really need to hit at least 4 people to even give it a chance of being worthwhile. Not including you since you will be on a composure cycle

the reason i use it, short of being in an all mage party, is to save time. if i can fresh all 3 people with one cast it lets me have more time to worry about haste and cures and such.. i don't NEED that extra time, but it's just kinda helpfull.. you could argue its a waste of a stratagem though but kinda depends on how many buffs you need to/want to AoE XD

I suppose. Though even then you are only saving the time of 1 casting. And put it all in one cast lol instead of spreading it out.

Plus I find AOEing self only things to be so much more useful

Why does everyone keep mentioning accession? Switching between arts and putting addendum: white on isn't very strategem efficient. SCH sub isn't really as good as people think. And how many people do you really need to refresh at once that you need accession? I'm not saying /sch doesn't have its uses, but I wouldn't put much thought into accession and refresh2. /WHM is still best imo

If I want to cast a black magic spell I don't want to deal with mp penalties or have to use one of my OMGaccession strategems to go back to light arts and have access to status cures.

the ONLY thing i can think of would be stona >.> you'd be surprised at how little you need to switch arts in a party.. a mob link and you need to sleep it? k... just cast sleep, pay an extra 5 mp >.>

*EDIT, and that extra mp you gotta pay for black magic will under light arts. you save more mp from casting all that white magic on light arts

Before accession I'd just save strats for addendum. Now I mostly stay in light arts unless I know nas are covered. Needless to say you save more mp staying in arts and sometimes casting out of them then if you went /whm even if you cast more Mp worth of spells in the wrong art.

Not to mention the mp saved thru your strats.

What you described is a minor annoyance is all

You do know when you switch arts you don't have to put up the addendum yea? The addendum usually only gives you access to spells other members in your ally are already covering 95% of the time. The increase in light or dark skill is still gained without addendum. If you feel the need for addendum you put it up at the beginning of run or in downtime between actions. /whm besides stona and divine seal is completely worthless now.

Again you don't need to use addendum when you switch arts. you can switch arts freely whenever you want and have 2 charges at your disposal(if the timers are up). {insert sarcasm}I can see what your saying though. /whm is awesome at casting dark based spells.{end of sarcasm}

You all forgot the fact it highly affects the recast/cast time of the spells you cast on different arts .

The problem isn't in MP cost , but crowd control , main SCH is more effecient than RDM/SCH in crowd control .

Also Accession + Refresh is plain dumb & comes from people who are utterly lazy *** , you basically never save MP unless you're casting on 3 people NOT including yourself , since it *** up with composured Refresh .

Refresh II + Accession "that if it worked in the first place" just precipatate that fact , dumb & lazy.

I am curious as to this also, though SE will probably help the market by making it sold by an NPC like they did with the previous updates scrolls. I'm not expecting it to be a very cheap scroll as almost everyone has RDM levelled, but if they do make it sold by an NPC it would help cap the cost of it on the AH. (still expecting to see the idiots who cant wait to find out where to get it buying it for 1mil+, only to have it drop down to about 100~200k overnight)

Hopefully they won't gimp it like that, annoying enough doing refresh cycles without them shortening the duration.
When SE gives us something nice, there is always a price to pay. ;;
$10

For this spell, I'm personally hoping for a 60-80 MP cost, same duration, higher return refresh, maybe 5-6/tic. Self target would make me smile on the inside yet being party target-able would be nice as well. Accession is doubtful, but I'm used to keeping refresh/haste cycles w/o Accession so it doesn't really matter (that said, would be nice for the times when refresh 5-6 people). We won't know until it comes out, so it is all speculation until then.

Oh well, w/ a potency increase JA, Refresh II, Aero IV, Gain-MND/VIT, and Addle (curious about this one) I'm very pleased about the update. Going to be excited to see how SE lets RDM utilize these.

tl;dr Just wait for release to see what happens.

Perhaps, but outside of buffing, they are useless. It's all about combination, and Red Mage does it best.

Solo - Check
Party - Check

and so on..
