[Innuendo]

Looking to improve upon Ascetic's Fury, current set with Fire Taipans+1:

I'm about to build a set for it myself, but to begin, according to wiki fury needs light or fire gorget.

edit: yay beaten

Having a complete brainfart while trying to rewrite my WAR spellcast since my main PC is broken. How do I write it to lock in Cavaros Mantle while Mighty Strikes is active? MS's buff id is 16.

Edit: would this work? I'm fairly sure it would activate it, but would it unlock it as soon as MS wears?

<if buffactive="16">
	<back lock="true">Cavaros Mantle</back>
</if>

Unless something's changed with spellcast (I haven't played in months) you don't use the buff ID for such a purpose, buffactive="Mighty Strikes" would be the correct code.

Afaik the only time to use the buff ID is with Cancel in a console input.

I know its probably been asked to death already, but has anyone figured out the spawn conditions for the 4 caturae mobs yet? Specifically asking about Kutharei but if the other 3 are known I would appreciate that info too :D

Assuming I don't have access to a stp body, Hauberk +1 or Perle Hauberk for War?

[Andradi]

Perle Hauberk I think.

Not really, but JPs have reported the three Scars ones's spawn conditions are related to the avatar mobs. I tried to pop Yaanei by killing the Ifrit mob and it didn't work, but I could have gotten unlucky.

If you're in Abyssea with Razed Ruins, use Perle

Roughly how long does it take the Special Task Force to ban RMT crafters/selling mules once they have been reported, assuming that they are in fact RMT?

[Byrthnoth]

A random amount of time between 24 hours and never.

Yeah we tried that with Jala in mis too but it didn't work

1-85 what does BRD sub?

[Byrthnoth]

You should have NIN and WHM as options. SCH is competitive with WHM from 70-81, but at 82 /WHM gets Cure 4. Realistically that's 1-2 Abyssea parties, so I wouldn't bother leveling another sub for it.

That sounds good to me, thanks.

What's a good target mob to solo as NIN/DNC in Abyssea - Attowha?

[Byrthnoth]

War skeletons or murex maybe?

Bumping this question. I tried what I had, it didn't work. I tried the suggestion to change it to buffactive="Mighty Strikes", didn't work. Tried changing it to buffactive="44" (16 was Mighty Strikes ability ID, not buff ID. Actuall buff ID is 44), didn't work. So, what's going on?

Any Amorph family mobs in any aybssea that dont give ruby lights?

I have 2 questions about BST. One is if you are using dipper yuley to tank would rather use 2 -PDT axes or 2 EVA+ axes or a mix? Also I see a lot of bst's using Nursery Nazuna is it just because he is cheap I think a lot of the other pets have great potential too (fungar, courel, lizard).

/RDM for fast cast is fun at some levels if you happen to have it anyway...only in parties where you don't need -na spells

<if buffactive="mighty strikes">
	<equip when="precast|midcast|aftercast|engaged">
		<back lock="yes">Cavaros Mantle</back>
	</equip>
</if>

Put that near the top of your rules, before any other rules that might lock your back piece. Also, I would make a rule for MS that says to equip Cavaros Mantle precast, so that it equips it on use, and then every action after that, while MS is up, it'll parse that rule I wrote above and lock it on your back. Once MS wears, the next command you send to the game will unlock the back and go back to normal rules for that slot.

I recently picked up the glyph axe and the onslaught axe form amhuluk (spelled wrong i know). Is it worth it to make some sort of onslaught build for bst, or is the ws garbage?

If so, what type of gear would I want?
