[Cream Soda]

They rolled up on top of me and taking all the mobs, including the ones I'm engaged and 2 feet away before they dia it. Why not be a douche?

JPs have stolen my cleave pulls multiple times and GMs won't do shit, go for it.

After Empyrean/WoE, are STR Taipans still the next best thing?

[seiji]

What is the best G.katana, (not including Masa/Amano)? Assume I can get a 5 hit with a 450.

hiradenotachi+2(WoE) (>+1) > tp bonus keito+2?

4hit kikugosaku?

Any use to Raider's Earring (Eva3/Trip1%) for a THF with Suppa/Brutal/Evasion Earring/Ethereal Earring/Pixie Earring/Drone Earring?

Trying to make sure I haven't missed anything before dumping it.

[Eldelphia]

Looking for a few WHM cure setups. Idc if you're fancy and have spellcast pre/during cast or just 1 set, post it up! Thanks

Cure V/VI
Surya's Staff+2
Reign grip (about to swap for the new mnd and -enm one)
Orison Cap +2
Augmented Facio Bliaut (Nobles/Aristo)
Cleric's Belt
Orison cape
Orison Pantaloons +1
Cure Clogs/Marduk Crackows
Tamas/Karka
Novia/Roundel
Morgana's Choker
HH Bomb

For other cures I switch out karka for troopers, the mnd grip for staff. Cure III and Curaga's I don't bother with marduk feet at all.

can I drop T3 VNM KI somehow?

No reason to drop it, in fact often I find it useful to keep the T3 KI around so my T2 will never upgrade when farming them. Saved me a lot of headache when going after Brooder and the Heroes VNMs

Is it possible to completely avoid magic agggro on tia if i stand all the way as to the east (near the rock)? Want to try soloing it for the luls.

Also, is it still worth using twilight cape for spells i don't have an obi for? Or would potentia/goetia be better?


edit: nope, but seems rare that anything comes close enough. Gonna try anyway if it pops, since i can always sleep tia and kill an add, as long as i'm not doing it often.

I have all the abyssite of furtherances, and on my SMN with cruor buffs all my stats were +40 each (naked), now I'm on my BST and all my stats are +70 (naked), I'm confused(no atmas).

You're either in a Scars or Heroes zone now, which can have stat bonuses depending on Bastion/Dominion status.

For nukes, provided it's the same element day, Twilight Cape is best. The 5% enhancement is applied 100% of the time on same day. I was just testing this last night actually vs. Searing and Goetia. On matching day Twilight beat them both out without day proc.

Anyone know the crit damage+ rate on Shikkoku Togi?

tanking rani on mnk - /war or /nin? i used /nin on raja and it was nearly useless other than blocking the occasional melee attack. rani looks the same, in that everything they do except diabolic claw is aoe. is diabolic claw nasty enough to justify /nin for the rare chance to block it?

(and asking again, does updating resources.xml still mess up yarnball?)

thanks!

I tanked it /war with little problem as a taru, he -agas a lot so not much point in shadows.

[Mercilessturtle]

If you just have a monk on her, she isn't that spammy. In that case being /nin to block regular attacks is nice, because of the additional effect buff stealing.

Assuming we don't agro any NPCs, what is the lowest number I could kill the Dynamis - Tav boss with?


v This again from up the page. I figure it doesn't hurt

Turul glitched and is running across the ground again on Lakshmi. We tried AoE WSs, AoE magic WSs, and AoE magic and couldn't get him to agro. Do I just have to wait for him to reset at Maintenance?

We tried Diabolos for fun last night with 10 + 2 mules. We got the worst card too, Heart. Downed it in like 40 seconds easy. MNK + WAR + THF + COR accounted for 89% of the damage, the rest coming from the 2 BLM. I'm sure a party of 6 would have no issues unless you get a mean Heart that spams Death at low HP%. Has 30k HP and WS were doing 1.5-2.5k Damage.

its nice being able to 0 the occasional magic attack when Im in range, not really losing out on much.
