Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

[Hitoseijuro]

Could someone share a good Ascetic's Fury set?

Are you limited to anything ?

[Byrthnoth]

Not my set, but this is coming from byrth who I posed the question to.

Twashtar/Whatever/_____/Charis
Aias Bonnet/Aqua Gorget/Moonshade*/Brutal
AF3+2/AF3+2/Thundersoul/(Thundersoul or just stick with Rajas)
Atheling/Aqua belt/Tumbler Trunks/AF3+2

(I do make one suggestion, perhaps epona is better on thundersoul/raja's spot but not a math's person here, so not sure.)

"Well, if you use Striking Flourish -> Rudra's with the AF3+2 body, you get about a 50% crit rate on the main hit (and probably DA). I've been doing some one-shotting with my Rudra's. It's probably still not a responsible WS to use, but I pull a monster or two between ??? re-pops and build 300TP/5 finishing, pop the NM when the ??? respawns, toss up a Samba and Saber Dance, build back up to 300TP, and do a Striking Flourish -> Rudra's -> NFR -> Reverse Flourish -> Evisceration (Darkness). Then I have AM3 up and the monster is missing a laaarge chunk of life. "- Byrth's quote

This is just to demonstrate that whoever who said rudra is suboptimal without SA/TA is inaccurate, friend has used that above strategy and got very impressive results. Don't forget if you're getting the real deal, the aftermath is amazing too with RR atma.

The fact is DNC probably makes the 2nd best self SC behind SAM, given how they got skillchain bonus and can readily make self SC themselves.

Yeah, Epona's was better. I didn't consider it at the time because I didn't have it. There are also situations where Matre legs are better than Tumblers, though they're very rare for DNC. The Moonshade was supposed to be TP Bonus+25 augmented.

THF stuff

Atheling for TP/WS jumps out at me immediately.

[Aelfinn]

Can you proc on a spell that gets resisted/immune? I've heard both ways so far, but have yet to actually see a resisted spell proc…

[Massimo]

No, you can't.

If you're gonna skip out on Smite, go with:

Str taipans/-/-/tantra
Genbu/sea/brutal/kemas
Tantra/heafoc/rajas/spiral
Atheling/warwolf/hachiryu/tantra

Osode, usu legs, foragers, etc are all options too until you get the other stuff. Ws damage anwig might beat genbu's.

[Eldelphia]

In abyssea: Cure Cast + Bar Spell for G1, ShellraV and w/e you want for G2. I went 3 Devotion and unlocked the rest.

This, and not just in Abyssea...

(You can also pick a specific eleatt+ atma if you have a card in mind)

Wildfire
Smoldering Sky

Could drop an Atma for Sea Daughter if you wanted greater WS frequency on the magic weaponskills.

[Odin'sLaw]

for RA set most people i know go Stout/Drifter/Sea Daughter (everyone likes Regain)
for QD i know people just stack MAB Beyond/Baying Moon/Ultimate are the options CORs in my ls use

Smoldering Sky is an option if you ever get a Wildfire gun

Do the various abyssites that effect the caskets make them appear more often, or just make you gain the lights faster? Wiki isn't very reliable since depending which you look up its one or the other...

[Bootykilla]

How much of a difference would the 100 Earth Resist Atma have on Gorge/Disgorge if any?

[Iremire]

Does anyone else have issues with getting disconnected from ff but nothing else with verizon has there isp?

Personally I think it's just a chance for a chest of varying strength to appear with little/no light (TE with uncapped azure etc.)

I believe they give initial lights or just increase the threshold at which you start lights , from my observation before Heroes release with 2 abyssite of any given chest , people used to have 30 killshots with magic for any light to be considered "capped" , I remember this time I was in alliance PT where I as the only BLM/exclusively the person who is getting magic killshots , I got TE @15th kill & I had 2 kismet , which leads me to be believe every abyssite give initial light of 5 , so it's like if I zoned in with 10 azure lights in my pocket .

Alone ? it won't make big difference , but with barstone , will make huge difference , add carol , & you will negate it .

or if u have like 2 DDs or 1 BST , have them stand in range right behind you , & you won't need any kind of resist atma/barspell.

in Garlaige Citadel (S) where are the other 6 Mousse, there are 8 in the rooms by gate #3 but with ~17min repop timers I'm wondering if killing the other mousse is worthwhile.
