Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

Is anybody still experiencing the "Downloading Data" screen problem? I just warped to Xarcabard and I been stuck at that screen forever. I can however log into my mule.

My GF was when she zoned into Fullmoon Fountain last night. Now my main character is stuck in sealions den. Keeps timing me out when I try and log in. I can log in my mules fine though.

[Cornmaker]

stupid question but does any1 know what they added with today's Empy Upgrade Items? o.O

If you're going to do that, remember your AF3+2 hands. +10 Skillchain bonus is awesome for this kind of thing. It's going to be hard to find something that survives that, though. You'll need to use an NM, and possibly a tier 2. Maybe Bennu? I bet it's possible solo if you have Haste buffs:
Sekka -> Saber Dance -> Evisceration -> Meditate -> Dancing Edge -> Evisceration -> Reverse Flourish -> NFR -> Striking -> Rudra's

3000 (Evisc) + 2000 (Dancing) + ~1600 (Distortion x0.6 x1.3) + 3000 (Evisc) + ~6000 (Darkness x1.5 x1.3) + 5000 (SF Rudra's with crits and sauce) + ~11500 (Darkness x1.75 x1.3) = 32k Damage with above average luck and no resists.

It's important to use Meditate before you need it, so you have max time to melee after Dancing Edge (no 2 seconds wasted from JA usage). You only lose 1 tick of TP if you time it well. Unfortunately, that means your target needs over 20k HP.

and i actually ran into someone who thinks twashtar is a waste of time..

i would need some serious practice doing a 4 way SC solo, and maybe a moderate amount of STP. btw, and ive wondered this for a while. does saber dance screw up triple and quad attack?

also. im gonna build up a 100tp bonus magian dagger just so rudra isnt plagued with low ftp during that chain

Had a friend move me out of sealions den to tavnazia and I can log in now. Not sure why sealion's den is giving me trouble.

All my tests have indicated that it's simply normal Double Attack that negates DA from /WAR. It gives approximately 50% DA at activation that decays to 20% after ~30 seconds (~1%/sec). I expect it wouldn't affect QA or TA.

Also, it's probably my duty to point out that:
Sekka -> Ukko's -> Ukko's -> Light -> Meditate + Hits -> Ukko's -> Ukko's -> Light likely does more than 30k damage and relies much less on luck.

Went through the Neo-Dynamis thread and could not find anyone with Bastok info, Particularly TE's anyone have one handy?

that may be true (if possible) but ive always been one to take something that everyone thinks is a joke and a waste, then rub it in their faces. also, my war is already a very strong job, but i would prefer 2 very strong jobs over 1 extremely powered one

Except you cant carry the Skillchain over that many times.

You can skillchain 6 weaponskills together, so 4 is no problem. It's two separate self-skillchains with Ukko's, so that's also no problem.

[Aozora]

my question was the meditate + hits > ukko > ukko

would need a good amount of STP and haste or a lucky double attack to pull that off. plus, if whatever gets hit with all those ukko's and lights survives, that warrior is a gonner. the dnc would live to benefit from aftermath

So I need somebody to log me in from another terminal to play? -_-

Meditate + hits is more then enough for a 5hit hasted war to Ukko > Ukko specially in abyssea

I was assuming you meant you were chaining light so the end light was "over 30k"

[Byrthnoth]

Naw, meant 30k total damage. Assumed 5k for ukko's average. MS and buffs could potentially pump that up.

[Terrestrialrage]

Didn't SE say they were giving us another 40 points above the cap for crafting? Could've sworn that was being implemented this update...

They delayed the implementation due to balance concerns/whining on the official forums.

[Aozora]

what would we use that for? i would be pissed if i had to raise a craft just for new synergy recipes that probably isnt as good as abyssea gear

[Esvedium]

Ninja: AFBody, AF3+2head, Suppa, haste, march/march (no ghorn, no +2brd hands yet) means I can hit the delay cap with ~23.5% haste in gear, right?

[Terrestrialrage]

Um, to have another craft at 100? >.> Do you not know how synergy works?...

shouldnt even need body
