Random Question Thread XIX: Welcome to Flavor Country

[nivlakian]

The problem is that I want 1 set to do double duty and I lose a LOT of PDT for a small trade off. With Shell V I am gaining .8% MDT(caps at 50%) but losing 9% PDT which isn't worth it.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize it was meant to be an all in one thing. The only suggestion I could make then is getting physical damage -4% on ASA pants if you didn't want to use them for something else.

Best way to cap lights in Hero Areas? Scars and Visions i can cap lights in like 15-20 min, I just haven't been too active in Hero areas.

Hah. Should have been with our group the other day, 3x WAR Body seals dropped twice in a row yet the others which everyone was there for dropped less then 3 times total over about 7 kills.

Rather use them for my mage jobs as 1% PDT isn't worth the unique things you can get on that and the 2nd augment isn't as substantial enough to make them monk tank pants alone.

[Gun-it]

Good call, I overlooked that.

Brings the MDT up to 49.2%.

any reason you only want one set?

sTP needed for a 5-hit and 6-hit with a 504 delay G.axe?

22 for 6 Hit
46 for 5 hit

That's not accounting for multihit WS TP return though.

Does True Shot work at any distance when using RNG AF3+2 feet for Unlimited Shot?

PS2 limitations ?

T1 SCH merits (besides Helix)?

None of them are worth writing home about. Modus Veritus is useless due to resist rate on everything you could want to use it on. Grimoire Recast only knocks off 10 seconds (60 -> 50), and I don't switch often enough to care. I find the Sublimation merits (+50 MP to Sublimation cap) to be the most useful for me.

Some people Whitegate warp from jeuno and then silver coin to home nation, but currently no warp from jeuno to home nation. Another option is the cruor warp to attohwa and use bubu OP to home nation.

Using Horst to go to La Theine is faster than attohwa/bubu, as the FoV book is targetable from where you zone in, you don't have to run ~30 seconds to get to it, just turn around and f8.

[Hitoseijuro]

So wait, what 3 atmas should a vere monk use?

Apoc/RR/GH for most things. Apoc/RR/A&O for max damage and when HP is not an issue.

That means I need to do FoV. Bubu FTW!

Would Kraken Club be good for TH procs? lol

That has been my opinion since they introduced the messages. Though I wouldnt use it on Briareus (more colossal slams), Chloris doom, sobek tyrant tusks.

[Nermie]

I've only seen TH proc on first hit of an attack round - not sure if that's the only possible time to proc.

If it only procs on first hit of attack round then you want lowest delay weapon possible.

Kill elementals to cap azure and pearl any NMs you fight. The bonus to lights via Dominion makes capping pearl less of an issue.

Dhorme Khimaira is easier than the Hydra clone if for no other reason than he has way less HP.

Because getting 2 sets doesn't really make it any better.

Other then body pieces for -MDT which doesn't matter because I am <1% away from MDT cap, what advantage would there be? All the PDT gear I can wear I am wearing except maybe that one earring thats -1% PDT(Colossus Earring I think). So what advantage would I get out of splitting the sets up?

As far as I can see the 1% PDT isn't worth making 2 sets. The other thing is that its easier to see a TP in progress and hit the set then it is to read said TP move in the log, think about if its magic/physical then hit the appropriate set. Hell, sometimes the move goes off before you have time to do that. One set simplifies things and saves space in my inventory.

I think generally people like to keep capped haste in their pdt/mdt set, since you usually swing once regardless of how fast you're switching it in/out. Whether that's worth separating pdt/mdt would be another matter. Whether pdt/mdt swaps are doing anything but slowing down your kill speed in most cases (abyssea anyway) is yet another thing... I used to fanatically swap to pdt/mdt for every tp move and spell, but my support is usually picking their noses from boredom anyway and even without it I'm rarely even close to being in danger. Outside moves/spells that can do like 2k+ (or things like hell scissors) I rarely even hit my pdt/mdt macros anymore. This is on mnk though, I can see it being more useful on jobs with less Hp to eat -ga IV or something.

What are some good starting DD atmas? I have many different titles/kills.

Well its a simple change to cap haste. Switch out helm and legs for tantra +2 and with BB your capped haste but I wanted this for more like a oh shit set for when I know something big is going to hit, if I spent more time in it then just a fast swap I would optimize it for haste with those 2 pieces.

If I sold my account and want to come back can I convince SE to retrieve it for me saying it was hacked? If not..is coming back new an absolutely terrible idea? Is FF14 worth playing yet?

You're going to attempt to convince SE your account was hacked almost a year ago (going by your last post date, I'll presume you stopped playing FF around that time) and only noticed it now? Good luck with that...
