Are there any oddities with blue procing Pantokrator? Just had a pop that would not blue proc on staff out of at least 5 of each WS being clean.

[Kidnoftle]

Mode change counts as animation, can't proc during hf nor cs, anddd that's all I can think of that would throw off procing

Did you get a discernment message on all 5 WS's?

Pretty sure you can still land discernment even if it was not clean

Augur's Gloves + MND feet are going to outclass Serpentes Set, despite being only 49% total cure potency instead of 50%.

Except for the part where, no.

Being able to maintain whatever refresh possible is one of your top priorities in a cure set. Cap your CP, put on AF3+2 legs, cap your refresh, cap your MND.

If you're scrounging for maybe 10 mp/minute tops instead of focusing on your HP healed, you might as well wear Conserve MP on the cast.

Am absolutely sure that all of the WS were clean at least once. Didn't bother to see if all WS gave a discernment message, too annoying to hold dualbox. Pretty sure it was bugged in some way, plenty of time between tping and casting to get off a clean WS. Was just curious if it's normal attacks counted as tp moves or some nonsense.

Afterposting the question I found a post stating something similar. Already working on my trials. Tho I am curious about this hagun mention... If for no other reason than to fill the gap while I work on the trials.

don't bother farming an other GK if you don't need any other drop from the NM (kill orthus, get mantle, if gk drop use it else don't bother with it).
can use Erebus's lance (maybe quint spear )

Ideal Wildfire set/atma?

someone tested that griffons claw worked for wildfire with staff equiped

I'm trying to build a whm gear set to reach 50% cure potency cap for outside Abyssea, and otherwiki doesn't appear to be as updated as one might hope for some of this gear. I'm also trying to stack as much refresh as I can, and use empy+2 pants for the mp back for HP cured bonus. I've only been playing whm for a couple months and I'm sure some gear is evading me, help me out?

Surya+2 (+22%)/???/???/???
Orison+2 (+10%)/Fyjla+1(3%)/Roundel(5%)/Orison(2%)
Orison+2(Refresh+2)/Serpentes(+2.5%)/???/???
Orison(+3%)/???/Orison+2(Cure HP Converted to MP)/Serpentes(+2.5%)

That is 50% from gear, 3 mp/tick, and Orison +2 Pants. Is this an ideal set up? If so, what am I using for grip (-emnity?), ammo, rings x2 (Metanoia/Sirona?), and Waist? Additionally, I would prefer not to use Medicine Ring due to Taru HP instant death syndrom. Also, am I missing any gear I'm not aware of? In particular, getting +1 neck torque is proving to be a real pain, so a viable replacement/alternative for that would be helpful.

Outside of Abyssea you're really looking at a body piece for the extra to cap or don't cap. The only other cure potency pieces are Augur's Gloves (4%, losing Serpentes) and the expansion scenario pants (5%) but then you lose Orison. You should idle in refresh gear as mentioned before. I tend to save me bliaut +2 for V and VI onry. Outside of Abyssea you must remember a decent chunk of -ENM but it'll really depend on what we get to fight next. We lost a lot of haste too without blessed. I'd switch the Metanoia for a Troopers ring though so you don't lose decent stats and there's nothing wrong with a good old fashioned Hedgehog bomb for ammo.

Would it be worth QDing in the af3 hat for the extra chance at a set bonus proc over the af hat?

Can NIN and mage duo Tunga for KI? and what duo for itzpapa?

[Alkimi]

Can NIN and mage duo Tunga for KI? and what duo for itzpapa?

Can duo both. Think it was mentioned earlier that WHM should be in range of Slowga but out of range of Breakga (Slowga has a wider AoE than Breakga does but is also hate reset on everyone it hits).

Itzpap is pretty damn easy, keep shell and barfira up since fire break can hurt somewhat.

[Atoreis]

Can NIN and mage duo Tunga for KI? and what duo for itzpapa?

WHM + NIN can easily duo both. I recommend Earth wyrm atma for WHM along with barstonra (yes i know you can stand on 20 range and dispel slow from tank still shit happens for example fast slowga -> brakga(on whm) on chainspell). take stalwart if you want stagger cuz Tunga has pretty good evasion and tping can be a problem if you happen to have uncapped skill in some type of weapons. When you stager just zerg it.

For Itz same combo is easy win just remember to turn away when he start casting because if you eat blaze spikes damage + firaga IV + Fire Break in a row you can end up on the ground.

Ideal Wildfire set/atma?

Use this spreadsheet I made to calculate Wildfire damage. Should be 100% accurate unless MDB/MDT is factored in, I don't know their precise truncation or floor order for that.

What the guy replied with the gearset is correct, but I just want to correct it on atma. Smoldering or Lone Wolf / Hell's Guardian / Ultimate is the best. Not by much, and second fire affinity atma is still a good alternative for people who haven't killed PW. Smoldering / Lone Wolf / Griffon's Claw is best while brewing.

Edit: saw some gear that can be improved on that http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/183265 gearset

Neck: Artemis' Medal, during full moon only. Only bother if you are using spellcast.
