I see. Thanks for the reply.
Also, I am currently using an AAW with Heal 4 enchant which increases my SP consumption by 10%. If I also want to use Spellflow Shadow Armor set (let's say +9 Armor, +7 Shield, +7 Shoes, which will equal to +12%) will an AA card be enough to not run out of SP? Or should I not use +SP consumption equipment?
You should be able to cast skill fast enough to avoid using Spellflow with 120 DEX, Temporal DEX boot, and Sacrement. On the other hand, you can actually use Spellflow piece to reduce SP consumption. Just don't wear the entire set. Only wear the piece that gives 2% SP cost reduction, and if you need cast interruption in some scenario (rarely) then you can switch out and wear the full set. I leveled my AB to 175 without any cast interrupt gear on DEX Boot and Spell FAW. My AB was a glass cannon in TI, but I always keep KE on myself and never tank a mob. No issue.
I'd personally go 120 DEX first to wear Temporal DEX then the rest goes to INT at level 99. Just leave un stat points there and you can point it to 120 once you become an AB, or you can just reset. Fast cast time is more important than heal amount in TI party. 1 VIT means you shouldn't be tanking, but casting so slow will ensure that you will be left behind. Everybody seems to be on the rush to 400 counts. Anyways everybody have their own AB playstyle, so I just tell you what worked for mine.
You shouldn't need Arc Angeling if you're not using something like +9 Recovery Light. When low on SP, you can always rely on sanctuary. Temporal DEX makes Sanctuary cast very fast and you can even do it in a moving TI party. Santuary then Offeritorium gives a very nice healing at fraction the SP cost. Nevertheless, Arc Angeling is cheap right now (400m or so), and they do come in very Handy once you reach bio4 as you will be spamming heal non-stop.
Another alternative to AA card is to use 2x Pendant of Harmony. They gives out same effect as AA card without 77 LUK requirement. It stacks with AA card, if you really need that much SP regeneration.
