Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[Obsidian]

If I'm using RR+GH, what would my best choice for a third atma be for MNK? I'm assuming it would likely be Atma of the Dark Depths, but I thought I read somewhere on Alla crit rate+ from atma caps at 50%?

I've never paid much attention to Kparser parses outside finding my own accuracy. If I were looking for my critical hit rate % where would I find it?

[Nemesio]

I believe its Crit Hit Damage caps at 50%, not rate.

[Cream Soda]

Montonen's spreadsheet put SS at the top for third atma. Even though you only gain 20% crit dmg instead of 30%, your crit rate is now 74% instead of 54%, which makes it do a good deal more than when paired with RR alone.

I was using alpha and omega as my third last night, and it just destroyed things. Ascetic's Fury only once did below 2k dmg, and the norm was 3800 (roughly) on t2 NMs.

Where can one download the custom maps for the new zones?

[Juxtaposition]

Wasn't there a thread that compared Enhances Duel Wield with equipment haste and found out there was a cap to DW? Can I have a link to it? Or am I making that up?

[rog]

The current hierarchy of dds thread?

[carmancilla]

New Enhances stoneskin items add 30 each?

[barber2006]

Can I do the final cutscene at Grauberg for the new missions without having to choose an earring or will it force me to choose one?

Iratham repop time?

Not sure of exact time, but (assuming all Caturae were given similar recasts) we killed Yaanei yesterday, then 20min later after killing some other NMs he was at 60% being killed by some other group.

I'd venture a guess that they changed all timed spawn NMs to 10min repop, as I haven't seen anything taking longer since update (including VNMs). I wouldn't say that's a definite claim, just my observation in the last few days.

Can avatar T4 nukes proc grellow? I'm assuming no.

I don't know about the caturae mobs, but all the old 30-60min repops are 15minutes, not 10 minutes.

[Raen Ryong]

I've gone 1/1 on a Clionid, Marvin and Chasmic Hornet since the update.

Just a comment on this in case people are really interested: droprates may be increased but they are still not 100%. 0/3 on Chasmic Hornet since patch.

Just got a seal from doing a resistance op. Did they always do that and i was really unlucky or did i miss the news that they give seals now?

Like, as in, Scars area Resistance Ops Bastion etc. etc.? Fairly certain if you got one from an Op in Misareaux/Vunkerl/Attohwa, that is new.

[Avarice]

Is it known if the Doom Screen temp. item bought with Dominion Credits also prevents Death? I'm willing to bet that it doesn't, but I wanted to be sure and see if anyone had any comments on it.

You sure it's 15 on the dot? From camping VNM pot it seems to be more like 10-15.

Got paged on my Q:
Lizards in rain weather? Tried piestes in pash (S) hoping but that didn't work. Is my only decent bet Ifrit's Cauldron or Den of Rancor? Idk which would be better?

edit: i meant if either are -ga safe. I know they share weather

Did they nerf chests from aoes? Did 10 pearl vnms, and 2 ephemerals, and averaging 5 chests per pull of taurus (~20 mobs).

getting normal chest drops by 1shotting with bliz5.


ANNND just got a 250 exp chest...wtf?


Just had a 0 chest pull. Dropping 90% of the time when i single kill. Definitely something up.

[Yugl]

Have you never taken a 6th grade algebra class...?

That depends. Was I supposed to learn how to figure out mob's MDB without having to backtrack for each and every mob?

Note that the goal of my questions is to derive a general formula where I can plug in player's stats without worrying too much about mob stats (i.e. I need a generic MDB).
