Motherfucker...

Sedna, low-man strat? Any major concerns etc? With a solid MDT-% set can pretty much any job tank it? How about kiting in the tunnel? Possible? Spells might be an issue?

Speaking of fell cleave, I already know about chigoes in attohwa, but what about in other zones? Specifically Konschtatt.

It was mentioned earlier that wivre can be cleaved, sapling work too technically but don't link or aggro. Murex at minimum works in miseraux and i honestly have no clue about the other areas.

Loki or Hauby +1 for Blade: Jin?

Loki's assuming your crit hit damage isn't capped(it shouldn't be).

Everything I've read about him makes him sound like a wuss, but when we popped him, he was a complete rape machine. Constant spam of 6-800 damage aqua spout through shell V. Though we didn't have all our merit abyssites at the time, didn't have Minkin for our WHM, and we popped on watersday, so maybe it's not so bad now.

Also, he sucks because grellow is almost impossible to land, his normal attack is an aoe WS that blocks it, and there's not anywhere good to kite him. I think he has movement speed, or my memory might be playing tricks on me.

CDC is the best sword WS for RDM/BLU/PLD atm.

Motherfucker...

You can do less plate turn ins once you past fame 3 and can do martello upgrades. There's a martello right next to the turn-in person, and you can do it once a day so basically just grab upgrade quest from the machine dude at 01 before you go to turn plates in, do both at once, run back to 01 to finish, zone back out. Saves a game day worth of trade for 2-3 more mins running.

Well if not 2-3 attack sword what do you recommend? i really just wanna Spam Zoro on the mob with a bit o dmg

Double attack sword or a STR magian are both far better than oa23. Maybe DEX for RDM, dunno what kind of TP gear they get as far as acc goes.

[Cream Soda]

Edit: figured it out

[Azuark]

Thanks guys i guess ill go for the Poor mans Almace and the Dex sword cause thats CDC's mod.

question about spellcast.

If I manually swap gear or do so via macro after spellcast has taken effect. (Let's say I have Bkote set to engage monster, but then I decide I want to use usu gloves). And I hit my acc macro. Will spellcast auto swap back to bkote since I'm engaged, or does my manual input override it?

Manual overrides it spell cast will only swap gear on action, so if you hit your macro it will change to USU but lets say you WS, then once the WS is complete it will swap back to Bkote. And do more WOE i need glories.

[Novax]

afaik it won't change untill you do another action.

I want to say to just be patient and see what the update brings to magian paths. I have a hunch we'll be seeing 2-4x weapons coming this update, and while the 2-3x sword's base damage may be undesirable, if the 2-3x DRK scythe is any indication in its early phases (Seriously, mid-40s D without any multi-hitting), it may be the actual damage rating SE in had in mind for these later steps. Only thing that's left to decide is how the multi-hit spread is determined. For now, I don't think the 2-3x is useless, but that might just be me defending myself for making one back in the day with later multi-hitters in mind.

Ideally, you should be striving for CDC if you at all care for RDM melee. I'm not sold on off-handing a STR sword since RDM also has enspells to consider for making that up on normal swings while their base ATK isn't too hot and the ideal Haste builds aren't exactly ATK heavy either (Probably unlikely you'll break 400 ATK without food or buffs), of which swinging more often for enspells could do more for you. Can't really go wrong with Joyeuse for now, though.
