not sure if serious...

[Seoin]

Sorry for noob question, but yeah, it was a serious question

Mainhand TK, drop Rapidus.

[Khajit]

put th on the mob then wear a real weapon after.

[Seoin]

Thanks for the replies. I just always used THF+Sirocco until now. Always assumed you wear the lower delay weapon offhand. But now that my lower delay weapon has higher dmg, I was confused. Cheers~

Speaking of wardrobe. Anyone, have updated lists for gear? My auto updater isn't working, before anyone suggests that, lol.

[rog]

No, you're not supposed to use either of those, since they both suck.

Oh, there was another page...

Delay doesn't matter. Main hand the highest damage weapon, unless there's something more important (ie dual wielding two different weapon types, or at 75 using senj/fudo on nin, the crit+ outweighed the extra D1 on fudo for jin, etc).

Do I need to use Savant Legs+1 when I use Parsimony, start the cast, or land the spell?

[catfat]

Has to be on when you end the spell

[Andradi]

Is storms of fate soloable?

[Kohan]

Yeah, i guess it's hard to look allllll the way down to the second link. As with all of wiccaan's non olde programs, it doesn't need any memlocs, and will never break.

The download isn't available to anyone who isn't registered on their forums. I also already had v3, hence the request for a memloc or the program itself -- either would have been acceptable.

Cream's already given me a link, though, so I'm good. Thanks, Mr. Soda.

Oh, i guess to be fair, it is pretty hard to register.

a "timeout error in the card authentification process" when trying to change CC information is a problem on SE's side, isnt it?

[Byrthnoth]

So, the safest lowman Cleave-like setup I can think of would be DNC + BRD using Aeolian Edge with Razed Ruins / Atma of Gales. Fan Dance (and evasion gear) before Aeolian Edge, Horde Lullaby after. You should be able to consistently break 1k (huge AoE) and do it on any target because it won't mess up your lights. Could use RDM/BLM/SCH for Azure generation purposes, but it would be better to have them change to BRD/WHM for double March + Haste and Horde.

Assuming the wiki mods and formula is approximately correct (and that alpha applies to magic WSs, which isn't specified):
((90+2+(200*.3+150*.3)*.85)*2.75+(16+150-80)/2)*MAB*1.4 = Damage

Including two MAB dagger, Novio, Moldy, Ugg Pendant, Denali legs, you would have 41 MAB. That would give you 1084 damage + Ascetic's whenever you have it, which would likely be frequently if you're doing this right.

Costs:
Fell Cleave does more damage
You don't Retaliate, so you get TP much slower. Often on WAR I find myself back over 100TP just from Retaliations after a Cleave.

Benefits:
Fan Dance and ridiculous Evasion make Dancer much more durable than Warrior, so it requires much less support.
You can Aeolian Edge burn any type of monster because it makes Amber.

In a situation with support, obviously it would be better to use Fell Cleave. If you were duofarming gold boxes with a friend, it seems like this might be the best way to do it.

It's that time of the month.

I wonder how BLU could manage with some AOE farming. They have a ton of AOE Damage, Stuns, and Debuffs and finally enough MP recovery to really spam them, plus they still have the capacity to negate a ton of damage with Cocoon and a PDT set for the times when mobs are actually swinging (between said stuns and Flashes and whatnot). I think I might look into making a build for this...

The only problem is that we can't really cover Amber lights with this setup solo, so we'd still need someone to cover something like Aeolian or Cleave. RDM as the duo partner could possibly cover the WS while lending a PhalanxII to the BLU tanking. Hmmm...
