I need to cap my elemental skill for Maat fight coming up soon. Currently 186 with no +elemental gear on. It should cap at 215 for a 70 RDM. I was wondering if I can get the same skill ups casting Aero I, water I, etc as casting the III type spells? Only time i really ever nuke is for a skillchain in exp parties :? . Any tips on how to get it up so maat doesnt laugh at my aero III would be helpfull. Thanks

Yes, you will still get skill-ups on the tier1 spells. At lvl186 you should still get skill-ups on the Orcs near monastic cavern and the Demons in Castle Z, so if you see any blm/pld/drks/brds yelling for help with one of these to coffer key, you might want to join to skill a little. I believe you should be able to get to at least 200 on these mobs.
Also, consider an elemental torque for the fight possibly. Bear in mind as well that elemental skill does not determine damage ( +Int does) it only helps determine if you are going to get a partial resist.
Good Luck on Maat! I give that old cute a /slap everytime I run past him. :lol:

You can also get elemental skillups in party if you have BLM sub by casting the elemental debuffs. You can probably work out a deal with the BLM where you cast one of those debuffs for elemental skill, while letting him cast one of your regular debuffs for enfeeble skillups, heh.
