Random Question Thread XIX: Welcome to Flavor Country

[cdgreg]

When TH is not necessary my THF mule uses kila+2/twilight's w/evis WS. Would Daka+2 be a huge improvement? I generally duo mobs whm + thf, so SA or SATA is almost never used.

[Lyramion]

My jobs would be War Nin Cor Rdm.

He has killed Mythic Blu's with ease supposedly. And I guess his ego is so big he has not lost since he started wasting his time in PvP

This guy uses like PDT scythe and everything. Which when I laughed at it he continued to flip his shit and try to get me to waste my time PvP'ing

I would enter but I just dont want him to have an ego heart attack when he most likely beats me just because I have never participated in PvP in the first place.

Not to break your bubble, but Ballista has its own set of rules. PDT Scythe is good. People use a lot of -PDT and then finish with Phalanx. DRK has natural Enfeebling skill also and should be able to land pretty much anything on you. DRK/RDM is a pretty good combo.


I didnt keep up with Ballista in the last few years, but your best bet is prolly RDM and gaying him dead. bring tons of Poison and Echos. If he can, he will try to stun > sleep you and then stip off your buffs with dispel to prepare for a big WS to finish.

[Ophannus]

Can RDM solo Fear Gorta? Looks weak, has no spells and avoidable TP moves and no movement speed. Only thing I'm worried about is Perdition. Can I outrun it with 25% movement speed?

I can use the 5$ steam pack to get the first three add-ons (ACP Moogle ASA) for a mule yah? If so, what are the steps purchase to get the correct registration codes? Thanks.

They email you a code, you register it like you would an expansion from what I've been told. I was going to do the 9.99$ deal for visions last month, but I waited until the 1st to reactivate my mule so i wouldn't get billed 12.99 for one fucking day and the deal expired the 31st. >.>

No items in 1 on 1 really. That's bitch status lol. At that point it just becomes who has more money, so it's not even worth fighting if items are in. Well at least not 1 on 1. I use the fk out of my items in official match, lol.

I've got an inactive on Odin right now, and I'm hoping to name change without server hopping. Would my friend be able to make a character (with the name I want to change) on his account, so that I can change my character's name when I reactivate?

Dynamis-Bea question, how long would it take for a rdm to solo the nue tower eye? I plan to have a rdm load up on multiple flee boots and flee there near the start of the run, train all the hydras, run to the back of the nue tower, pop CS, dot then get as many nukes in as possible. From there, RR and continue dot until it's dead. This is all happening as the main group is working through the zone.

A CSing RDM should be able to nuke it to death before getting killed.

iirc, unless the character is moved off the server still can't use their name, even if said character is inactive.

This.

Deleting the character, making one with the same name, then restoring it will work also. Unsure if the same-named character can be on the same account as the one being restored, but it obviously can't occupy the same content ID.

[Gun-it]

whats the ratio for skill to acc/att for 300+?

anyone know this?

It largely depends on how you're fighting. If starting, RDM/BLM and stun once match starts. Follow through with sleep asap. Sleep II and buff to max. Stun > Break when he awakes. Add Sleep II again and enfeeble in this order: Addle > Blind > Slow II > Aspir > Silence > Gravity > Sabo Para II > Nuke him down. If he has buffs, be sure to dispel them before going to town. If Silence/Gravity/Para II wear off, stun > sleep > repeat.

[Sekundes]

hmm that's not actually working completely, not equipping them when I use manawall

This code is only to keep them on and only when manawall is up. If you need something to put them on when you use manawall you need to do something like:

<if spell="Manawall">
<equip <feet>Goetia Sabots +1</feet></equip>
</if>

The NM is a joke. Killed it three times to get the abyssite, didn't get hit once, never cast perdition. This is on NIN/DNC, but I can't imagine RDM would have any trouble.

[Ophannus]

How did he kill your Mythic BLU? Disseverment in 75 cap used to almost one shot people. Even with PDT, BLU has stronger spells, couldnt you just rape with Temporal Shift>Chaotic Eye>Quadratic>Headbutt>Frenetic>Delta or something?

[Darkmagi]

This guy is way too into FFXI PVP, but I'm sure he has some counter to that. He shouts for 50k matches and pays 1mil if you kill him. He has all kinds of stupid resist gear and I personally got destroyed the one time I fought him for shits and giggles. lolpvp etc.

[Yugl]

I'm guessing he uses Diaga > Silence for BLUs. The trick is to silence him first.

[Darkmagi]

Yeah pretty much. He would poisonga>stun>silence if you had shadows. (poison because it wears faster iirc) My rdms silence would resist even with real gear on though, is macc fucked up in ballista or something?
