With the given sample size, the values are separable at the 90% confidence interval, and they overlap by 0.10% at the 95% confidence interval. Further, even at the 99% confidence interval it's still not possible for TA to be 9%, nor is it possible for DA to be 10%. Since we understand that one of them must have priority over the other, simple overlap isn't sufficient to disprove the hypothesis. That is, there is absolutely no way for the DA rate to be high enough to be in priority over TA, therefore TA must have priority over DA.

Ok, cool.

Did the patch that fixed being able to fight Amhuluk/certain Iron Giants without taking damage from AoE TP moves also make it so players' AoE spells/abilities hit mobs regardless of elevation? Just did Dynamis-Bastok and wiped twice because my Sleepga seemed to hit mobs on both floors of the NE section, which didn't seem normal.

Its possible, thank all the fucking losers with no friends for exploiting that shit causing 7 years worth of strats to be completely revamped.

Thank you, I just found that and was coming back to edit out my question.

Isn't that like stupidly easy to find, or am I looking at the wrong thing? I mean...

That's the point, actually. It's even easier to have other people just look at the number of attacks they made in their parser and solve it in reverse, which would lend credence to his theory. He could have every one of the people in that forum post their TP gear and total number of attacks, and his sample size would balloon. And yes, a page late, sleep and all that.

Except no, because then they wouldn't know how many attack rounds.

this is going to sound extremely lazy, but im not familiar with spellcast or any of that shit. i used old fashioned windower macros when i played, but now that im starting over, im gonna ruke-style lvl my parry. i have a rdm mule with phalanx 2 and PDT gear on my main. Is there a script i can make to auto regen/cure/phalanx/refresh/protect while i afk? or is it something that wont work due to its long durations?

Got lost at the bottom of the page earlier, reposting for great justice.

Searched for Victory Smite gear sets, and there have been a couple which helped as a base, but a few questions:
(Assuming VV/RR/Apoc and Red Curry Buns)

1)Is it worth using Loki's and/or Anwig (Str/Dex+4, CritDMG+2%, WsAcc+!5) when impetus is down, or stick to Aias Bonnet & Tantra body +2 the whole time?

2)Vigilance Mantle+1 (Str/Dex+5) worth using at any point? One post suggested Atheling when Atk is capped and Cerb+1 when not.

Attack not capped:
Verethragna // Thew
head/Flame/Brutal/Aesir
body/Heafoc/Rajas/Epona
back/BlackBelt/Usu/Tantra+2

Attack capped (Stalward's)
Verethragna // Tantra
head/Flame/Brutal/kemas
body/Heafoc/Rajas/Epona
back/BlackBelt/Usu/Tantra+2

I'm aware of Beir, but holding out for a +1 though. :S
Thanks for any input.

You can do that with autoexec, except maybe cures, not sure about that.

Number of attack rounds is in the parser, is it not? Or am I remembering it wrong?

edit - ISn't there a tab for extra attack rounds? It's been so long since I've been on a melee job I can't remember what's in the parser anymore, or what's been added.

I skilled Katana from 140 to 250+ on Steelshells a few days ago while watching Dexter on Netflix.

Yes, it is.

Still not sure wtf your getting at though. You want people to post raw numbers so they can calculate useful data (which would be horrible inaccurate, since there'd be no way to distinguish between 2 DAs, and 1 single, 1 TA, etc), instead of just posting the useful data?

You can calculate number of attacks from number of attack rounds, and da/ta rates, but the reverse is not true, unless you only have two possibilities.

Fastest way to build fame in Abyssea Kons. to flag Playing Papparazi?

I'd say get a bunch of Regen Atmas in Abyssea and just go AFK.

Rough location on Tammuz spawns? I hate this...

[The Blackrose]

You can do that with autoexec, except maybe cures, not sure about that.

Buffs: It's possible but is also a logistical nightmare once you start scheduling it out.

Cures wouldn't be possible though.

Here's one question I have. We've been killing Glavoid non-stop recently, but I've started having chat log issues. Up until now, I've been able to see Disgorge so I can stun, but now Disgorge is not showing up at all. I've tried resetting my filters, turning off all filters and logging out, but the move still does not show up. Any idea what's causing this?

What's the procedure in using fraps to test delay?
I'd like to test RNG AF body before I upgrade it to +2, to see the difference in Snapshot, if any.

Apologies for the bump, but I already have my coins to upgrade to the +2, and I would like to do some testing on the +1 first, to compare.
Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks.

Shikanofuda work for Migawari? Mokujin stacks are 50k each, yet mats are like 10k per synth max (and thats being generous).

Ok, so after cleaving for Chloris and just regular farming, I find cleaving to be faster when I have help of 2-3 others available. I find reg farming to be faster when it's only me and my mule (mainly because lots of wasted repeats when just duo'ing, but also smaller pulls, etc.)

So when it's just me and my mule, is an eva build worth pursuing on war w/ GH and Cloack/Dagger (+ blind from mage)?. I can go in on mnk and just wreck shit solo that my war and whm dual box have trouble with or wipe to. (Chukwa for example, I can solo w/ np on mnk. Mighty strikes? Ohi I got CS, lolu vs Mighty Strikes? Oh hey you just DA'd my ni, oh shit can't get ichi up, 500 500 500 oh hey cure 5, oh hey 500 500 DA cure recast not up dead).

Or any other suggestions to make it easier on my war? Cause damn I feel more confident solo'ing on mnk than I do dual boxing war and whm.

Slightly late, but why use WAR instead of MNK? Fell Cleave? Cataclysm does plenty of damage with the right atmas. Smiting Blow (for TP bonus), Ultimate, and Cosmos and I hit 2k+ every Cata. I just switch back to RR/GH/AoA when I go to kill Chloris.

Edit: @Nynja, Yes they do.
