I would still use bio 5 hat or celine ribbon for WL depending on skills/circumstances. The FCT is rarely a bottleneck for WL, cooldowns and cast delays are what make skills unspammable and the Sorc hat wont help with this. For Crimson Rock, you have to cope with 5 secs cooldown if you dont wear bio 5 hat. For other skills, you lose the 50% Boss damage if you dont wear celine ribbon. The Sorc hat has 25% boss damage bonus only if you learn Elemental Shield lv.5, so this bonus cannot be applied for WL.
The good news is Fenrir Card price is expected to drop, so more WLs should be able to afford it, its not a certainty though. But anyway this Sorc hat is a serious game changer as it makes Sorc stronger than WL, something that has not been the case since the OCP gears buffed WL in 2017.
I agreed Maybe if MVPing or bio5 stick with Celine Ribbon + Celine Brooch combo
for maximum dmg output is better for WL
since most WL skills are have cooldown or delay like you said
But on normal monster , non-MVPing is it worth enough ? maybe it's depend on play style
Example :
CR build with max freezing spell for storing 4x CRs
Example set up
+10 SKC
Lich red Sunnie + Mob
Flat int
4X T.KK Valk knife + MBS or Gaia / Anemos *
NAM spell FAW or Cloak survival
(for Flat robe combo)
Temp Int Spell 5 RM
or SOL if you don't like RM sp burn
or N.Verit
1x Temp Ring combo w/ enchanted Temp Boots
1x Alchemy Glove
(or 2x if use slotted Temp Int N.Verit)
or cheaper idea for CR build (expensive only core gears)
+10 SKC
Lich Red sunnie + Mob
Mora Crimson set Shoes / Robe / Orb
+10 Normal Mora Crimson Staff [2x True KK] < This is a forgotten weapon
since people always mentioned to 4x True KK Valk Knife (so expensive)
or 2x True KK SFB (req lv. 170 to use , can't share to low level WLs if you have multiple WLs
+9 or higher NAM carded FAW Spell or NAM carded Cloak of Survival if you don't want to buy FAW also can switch to Survivor set when using other specific skills
1x Alchemy Glove
-----------------
BTW Overall summary this hat is for Sorc especially combo with 2x SKRs make Sorc stronger
(because the hat already give 100% MDEF bypass and 25% boss dmg you're free from Celine Brooch / Mdef bypass accessories)
But I think not only Sorc can get benefit with it
other class (not include WL I mentioned in this topic) maybe need this hat too
mostly on leveling purpose , not MVPing
Example
Magic Oboro Exploding Dragon build who sacrificed accessory slots for 2x Shinobi Sash H
so they need 100% MDEF bypass from other gears
Magic / Support Dorams leveling with CN Meteor
since +10 hat give 70% FCT reduction and 100% Mdef Bypass
will make Magic Doram stronger , easier leveling
Magic Doram have problem about gears which stick to Armor+Shoes+Garment+2x Accessory to get highest CN Meteor dmg
and Magic Doram lacks of full MDEF bypass gears , CN Meteor have 3 secs FCT even high refine set
(about 47% FCT reduction total if using Lv.175 set with +9 whole set ?)
or get AB's Scrament still slow as hell...... (1.5 sec FCT remaining)
w/ +10 hat CN FCT maybe reduce to 0.9 sec I think ......
