What is a good katana combo to use on nin not barring abyssea/woe weapon? Thinking of taking mine back up again but not sure what is good to use for main hand /off hand now

Hocho/kamome is probably best non totm/woe. Non abyssea/woe weapons would probably be x2 str katanas i would guess. but hocho/kamome would be easy to get.

I knew I shouldnt have passed that Kamome, thanks, lol.

I've been offered the chance to join a low-man WoE group by players I respect. However, I was never interested previously because there didn't seem to be anything I wanted/needed from WoE as a person that only plays/enjoys BLM and RDM (Played as a support, not rdm/nin or rdm solo). Is there gear/upgrades/magians that I am unaware of that I should be interested in from WoE?

[Byrthnoth]

RDM with WoE Sword could be fun. If you will do it anyway, you may as well collect the Sword and Staff coins.

I went in to Abyssea - Mis[tab key] and got the All Buffs option. I turned in a Murex Spicule I had on me to Yurim and then proceeded to kill some Murex for a Blue Chest to finish the Medical Supplies quest for the Abyssite of Merit (I didn't have it yet, at this point). I noticed that I had something close to 1900 HP. It was more than I was used to seeing. I think I normally hovered just over 1600. So I finish the quest and get the Abyssite, my HP doesn't go up any. I figured maybe it doesn't take effect in real time and it only kicks in if you have it when you activate your buffs. I didn't wanna waste time/cruor zoning in and out and redoing buffs and all that, so I moved on to my next objective (Bhumi in Tahrongi). I get there and buff/Atma up and I only have ~1725HP WITH the Abyssite. I started to wonder if maybe it was fame based or something strange. After my business is done in Tahrongi, I decided to check it in Attohwa to see if it had something to do with fame (0 in Tahrongi, max in Atto), but it was also ~1725 (and Vunkerl). As the last step, I decided to go back to Mis and check it again... it was back down to 1725.

So... anyone have any ideas where that extra HP came from during my first trip in? I only have Synthetic Atmas and none of those give HP, so it couldn't have been a misclick on that. Sole Sushi was on at various points of the trips, but that only accounts for 20HP. All of my gear sets are around the same HP, and my spell sets (BLU) were the same for all instances.

[Deader2818]

Do youhave Abyssite of Furtherance? I think that adds greater buffers depending on the zone/cores, etc

[Raenil]

Certain martello core(s?) increase the potency of cruour buffs, iirc. Only in scars zones, though.

It came from martello cores, that all the Scars zones have.

Edit: I srsly need to refresh more often.

[Sylvrdragon]

Martellos, right. Forgot that those give buffs and stuff. Mystery solved.

[arus2001]

SMN T2 merits: I went 5/5 on Heavenly Strike since Atma can push it up pretty well if for some reason I wouldn't wanna RR and PC with Garuda, but unsure on the rest. Just unlock the others or maybe split between Geo Crush and Wind Blade?

[Fereydoon]

It really depends on whether you wanna see the other animations. You're gonna be using HS the majority of the time your magically BPing anyway.

How long would it take for +6 mp while healing to overtake 3mp/tick refresh?

How long would it take for +6 mp while healing to overtake 3mp/tick refresh?

6 seconds.

Edit: Read it as 3MP/tick overtaking 6 hMP, the correct answer is never. The correct-er answer is use both.

[Nitrous24]

guy above me is wrong.. it takes at least 20 seconds.. since that's how long first healing tick takes.. 3mp/tic is 6mp for the first.. which would be the same.. so technically it would take 30 seconds for it to overcome it.. 20 seconds first healing tick -> 10 seconds after that.. The real question is.. Why wouldnt you use both

[Kidnoftle]

You meant to say, the real question is, "Why are you resting?"
