Worth it to brew with Sanguine Blade instead of Aeolian Edge with NIN/WAR?

[Mazmaz]

For brew:

Cata: Smiting Blow/Griffon Claw/Cosmos ?
Sanguine: Cosmos/Banisher/Hell's Guardian ?
Aeolian: Smiting Blow/Gales/Hell's Guardian ?

Also, would I ever brew Sanguine over Cata?

Sanguine>cata all the time, so i would assume yes.

[Phoenyx]

Anybody else, on Siren or otherwise, just get dc'd?

[Kamil]

Apademak

[Chun Liroy]

Sanguine rapes him from what I could tell. Raen did 33k~ with his blu.

[Rikura]

Not on Siren but just got disconnected from Ragnarok (and can't log back in--network busy)

Edit: Welp nvm, got back into POL

[Radec]

Half our ally dropped (bismarck) but seems to be back for now

Yaanei duo MNK/WAR or MNK/NIN with a RDM? Counterstance or no?

[Draggy]

Half our LS {Carbuncle} Randomly DC'd too.



What are the best neck pieces for Monk, for TP and for Victory Smite? Wasn't sure if I missed any good items during my random breaks from the game D:

[Dooom]

About 1/3 of my LS got kicked off Phoenix around the time you posted this.

[Nightfyre]

Somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of Fenrir DC'd.

[Mazmaz]

Sanguine>cata all the time, so i would assume yes.

My whole LS told me cata>sang so which is it lol

[Kensagaku]

A good portion of Valefor just poofed and came back, myself included. Wonder what happened, server hiccup? o.O

[Byrthnoth]

Same thing happened to Lakshmi (non-merged). Series of tubes, etc.

So, how do people get the game to run for shit on decent to upper end PCs nowadays? It seems like every upgrade I make to my PC causes the game to run more and more like ass. Just wondering if there's some workaround or fix for the game bottlenecking itself. My PC is running XIV @ a steady 30-40 FPS but I'm having trouble getting XI to run above 10 FPS even on NES style graphics.

How much Stp is needed for a 6/5 hit with masamune? And what are the good builds for both?

This seems to be a growing trend, could you be any less specific?

The quality of your builds will depend entirely on where you're using them (inside or out of Abyssea), what your support options are (Brd, Cor, Dnc or /Dnc, someone with Haste), in relation to what support job you're able to use, the list goes on.

Ultimately it's going to come down to what gear you can feasibly obtain, and how much work you're willing to put in to get them.


Masamune/Rose strap/ . /White tathlum
Zelus tiara/Unkai nodowa/Brutal earring/Moonshade earring (Aug Attack/Regain)
Unkai domaru +2/Dusk gloves +1/Hoard ring/Rajas ring
Tactical mantle/Bullwhip belt/Unkai haidate +2/Ace's leggings

Gives a true 5 hit, (with merits 82 STp + Regain when active, of the 81 required) leaving some options on your WS build. You'll note 26% capped gear Haste, plus the Hasso bonus from using the AF3+2 legs regardless of location (outside Abyssea). The more you can add in your favour (support buffers, atma, cruor buffs etc) the more you can swap out heavy compromise items (Tactical mantle, Hoard ring and so on).

Not going to post any 6 hit Masamune builds. If you can't 5 hit a Masamune don't make one.

I've made a lot of assumptions, since you didn't provide, well anything. If it doesn't suit you, then maybe everyone who posts here can take note and post some relevant information.
