Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

Now you're just being stupid.

[Darkmagi]

On that note about being able to get Koki at 95, Blade ei should be possible just as well no?

[Kyata]

Unless there's an "All jobs" equippable Katana, I suppose not.

You can at 99, unless I missed an earring that gives Katana+ skill. You can't get both Koki and Ei at the same time though, seeing as one is /SAM and the other /NIN.

[Darkmagi]

Derp, forgot about skill caps on lower levels. Also why couldn't you get koki from /nin?
edit: Done posting before I sleep, not thinking properly.

Lower skill on /NIN. As I see it, you can only reach 172 at 99.

[Darkmagi]

Yeah you are right, I'm half asleep and retarded.

Has anyone tested the counter rate for Atma of Roaring Laughter? I have heard that it is actually minor instead of major, but I am not very sure.

I have been going Drk/mnk for lowman in abyssea, and mostly going with RR/GH/RL. However, when I do solo from time to time, I feel that the regen from mount champion might be slightly more useful as the 3rd atma. So which one of the 3 atmas should I take out for MC? If RL is only counter minor, then I think that's the obvious choice, but if it is 20% counter rate, then I would think taking out GH is the better choice. Either way, what do you think.

Thank you.

Am I correct in thinking that Dual wield V, capped gear haste, haste spell, Suppa and Nin. Chainmail +1 is overkill and I'm 5% over the delay reduction cap?

Dual wield V = 35
Haste spell = 15
Gear haste = 25
Suppa = 5
Nin. Chainmail +1 = 5

That seems like 85% to me, isn't the cap 80%?

No, haste and dw are not added together.

[Guild43]

Can you please elaborate on that a bit Rog? Exactly how close to the cap am I? And if they are not added together, how does it work?

[rog]

Multiply them. .55*.6=0.33

Thank you for all the answers on the monk/party questions ^^

SMN cat 1 merits?

Best way to earn resistance credits?

Can Vereth mnk (Capped MDT build, average PDT build, 5/5 abyssite of merit) + whm duo Carabosse? (and can eva gear war + whm duo the 2 NMs for triggering red?). May do a Massmune for the fk of it since it's such an easy path. Also, are abyssites of merit going to be enough or do I need sanguine scythe for HP?

[Alarial]

I doubt you even need SS on your mnk, and Mnk + Whm should be pretty easy for you (especially with a good MDT build). The only danger you'll ever be in is Winterbreeze dispel/stun -> High damage magic spell (if your shell is the effect to get dispelled). Have your whm recast shell quickly and move to MDT build when it happens and you'll be surprised how easy the fight is. Been duoing (well trioing with our mule) this fight with Whm + Nin (+thf mule) working on my gun. Mnk is much easier/faster for the fight than Nin, but Neo usually brings Nin for proccing red on the previous NMs. As for the two smaller NMs, any job can tank/kill them blindfolded. You could probably easily just duo Cara with War + Whm) so you aren't changing jobs between !! procs and Cara kills if you're War is well geared.

[Cream Soda]

Meh, my war is shit and I'll probably go to shout for a thf who wants some of the other drops for each set of 2 fights anyways so changing jobs once I'm there won't be a problem. With Chloris, wasn't even worth popping w/o a thf, so that'll probably be the same case here, thanks.

There anything that will be a problem for my whm? (Will be dual boxing) if I'm standing at absolute max casting range for cures?

We pull it down the ramp (towards the Conflux) a bit and the mages can stand at the top of the cliff and not get hit at all. Even after the recent adjustment to nerf height difference, it still works. You just have to pull a bit further down the ramp than you used to.
