Easiest strat for KSNM99 Wyrm with SMN/SCH/COR/BLM, NIN/SAM/BRD, DNC/WHM, MNK/DRG, BLU/THF/RDM/WAR?

Hello,

Sorry if this question has been answered already but didn't manage to find a clear answer. Does proccing same weakness nullifies effect for all weaknesses procced or just the one you spam ?

I mean, if we proc "grellow !!" on a mob and then decide to spam "blu !!" in order to avoid nasty tp moves what happens on treasure pool ? (Mainly thinking about +2 items from a mob like Bukhis for instance).

And I know I should have a better stunner already ; ;

[Fereydoon]

I wanna say the grellow drops would be unaffected. But the amount of time the enemy is amnesia'd from blue (or terrored/silenced from red/grellow) goes down each time you proc it. Unless you're using it as a really ghetto stun it probably wouldn't be viable after the first couple triggers.

You will only lower the effect of the colour(s) you trigger multiple times. Yellow once, blue and red 5 times - yellow is still unaffected and you will get max seal/+2 drops.

Thx for the replies.

Didn't know the effect duration was shorten that much when proccing several times.

Well I guess I'll have to find another strat to kill that nasty taurus

Light and snow belts > Warwolf for evisceration and raging rush?

[Fallyn]

light + shadow belt would cover all WSs?

(nothing to do with above post, just reminded me to ask)

[Julian]

Um, no?

They would only cover WS's with a level 1 light or dark element, and by extension fusion or gravitation.

I'm trying to install final fantasy to my 2nd hard drive, or to D: not C:.
I managed to get playonline onto the D:, but now i cant get FFXI itself or the expansions to install onto D:. any suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks

Did thief really get DW2 at 90? Concidering all the bitching thieves did when they only got DW1 at 83 when Dnc got many higher tiers, I thought the addition of DW2 would have been a lot more publicised, but today is the first I heard of it.

Sea gorget vs. Agasaya's Collar (Accuracy +8 Attack +8 "Subtle Blow" +5) on multi-hit ws's? (WAR THF DNC mainly)
Do Sea gorgets have any real use on anything anymore?

I don't think dw2 was added at 90, where'd you hear this from? But even if it did, it would be same bitching from getting DW1, cause @90 DW3 from sub is > DW2, same way 2 was > 1 @ 83 with nin sub.

Hello,

Is the Ochain from finishing the second trial any good? Does it already have that good shield proc rate or you only get that from the last trial?

[Lyramion]

light + shadow belt would cover all WSs?

That is not how it goes. Need to be WS specific.

For example Shadow is for WSes with Compression and Gravitation Attributes.

Gorgets usually win, the only time any other neck has a realistic chance is if it is adding attack and base damage. Aga could only win if you had really low attack.

If it won't let you change the install path, you can always install it to c:\, and then move it over. Then just open regedit, and change the paths in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PlayOnline US\InstallFolder

Light and snow belts > Warwolf for evisceration and raging rush?

Yes, assuming light and snow work for evisc and raging.

[Byrthnoth]

Outside Abyssea, I think Warwolf's would likely be better in both cases. Inside it's more of a toss-up for Evisceration, with Cuchu being the clear winner.

So, I sit here making macros for my mage jobs and I'm realizing the that Cure Casting Time -5% Lore Slops that I picked up are really only good for Summoner. There's no point for Red Mage (beyond Enmity-7), right? I pre-cast in AF2 body and AF1 hat.

Ochain(85) is a Size 3 shield rather than 6 like (90), I'd say it doesn't.
