Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

[ClarkSammich]

Legs for blade: jin? I'm still using byakko's haidate. (No access to hachiryu due to unwillingness to do ZNM/none being sold, other stuff is doable though.)

Usukane

Nightfyre,

I'm not very familiar with the Blade:Hi calculation and trying to gauge how much AGI would be equal to or better than adding +attack in most situations such as using RR GH Apoc and /WAR. When would Varagian Helm be better than AF+1 head for example?

It wont be better almost ever. Blade: hi is maybe 1hit WS and have acc bonus but sub hand doesn't and all 1-4 hits from DA and TA dont also.

Ah yea good point thanks.

Usukane

Huh? 10 att > 5 wsc?

[Atoreis]

Huh? 10 att > 5 wsc?

Hmmm If you asked like this why You havent asked why he want hachiryu at first place? Hachiryu is even worse:
Hachiryu vs byakko = 10 att vs 5wsc and 7.5 acc
Usukane vs byakko = 12.5att vs 5wsc and 5acc

[Kidnoftle]

Erm yeah, derp 12.5att. Still, 5wsc/5acc should easily beat that since in situations where acc would be irrelevant att would be as well.

[Nightfyre]

Huh? 10 att > 5 wsc?

12.5 att vs 1.275 base damage (without knowing build specifics). Yeah, I'm going with Usukane.

EDIT: Obviously if attack is capped and/or hitrate is uncapped Byakko's wins, but I find my acc capped and pDIF uncapped a lot more than you apparently do.

[Sylvrdragon]

You can't. It changes the mob's mode for a short duration (quite like terror etc.), which makes you unable to proc.

Easy to test. Pop T1 VNM and proc Discernment till it's something you know will be 100% (like Fire for Red Lotus Blade, or Lightning for Raiden Thrust, etc.) and stun then do Proc WS immediately after.

[Elysian]

Augment/enhance info on Tantra Cyclas +2?

[Deftscythe]

What's a good option for Mnk weapon to hold me over until I can finish a magian? Currently using ye olde Destroyers.

[Yugl]

Did you try using the jp version of ffxi, along with a jp proxy?

I tried to do that, but I couldn't select my character to log in. Something about having an "L" came up.

[Devinry]

Breeze belt or Anguinus belt for Blade: Jin?

Edit: oops, wrong thread.

[LidenbokValour]

Evening guys, this is a big one so I apologize.

Basically me and 3 other real life friends have started our empyrean weapons. Two Masamunes, Ukonvasara and Farsha (lolbstmain).

Obviously Masamune is just ridiculously easy as well as Farsha, we are just having a little issue with Glavoid (Fuck you SE for the unbalanced trials lool). We killed it once with 4 RDM/WHM/MNK/WAR just to test the waters and see what we have on our hands. Warrior was their to stagger keyitems mainly but did some damage, but we feel it wasn't very efficient seeing as it took us quite awhile to pop and kill just one glavoid. Is 4 not enough for this? Just see a lot of people on here with Ukon so it would be nice to hear some feedback from the people that own one. Thanks!

[rog]

4 is more than enough. Brd, whm, dd x2 should go quick if you do it right.

Is 4 not enough for this? or is there a job set up someone can recommend with 4 people? I don't expect fast kills with just 4, but just some tips from people that are doing/have done the same as us? Thanks in advance.

A friend and I just got finished with Vereth80 and Twashtar80 after living in Tahrongi for about 2-3 days, and we generally took between 2-5 minutes per Glavoid (after starting with Sekkanoki on one fight, sometimes it wasn't ready when we started the next...).

Setup used: WAR x2 WHM x2 RDM & THF/DRK (4 alts). Could've easily been done without the RDM and 2nd WHM. It might be worth noting that one WAR was using Ukon90, while the other using pretty basic shit. Only Stun Disgorge, have your MDT set ready if needed, that's about it.

Any job? Blm is probably best, but any job can do it, as long as you've got some way to build azure.

vnms for lights.
