DAT Mining Discussion (2011-05-09)

[urat]

I'm more up in the air about it too.

If its 10%, Its bonuses to Evisceration might out-weigh the lose in TP-phase damage due to its terrible base damage. If its anything less than 10%, It'll probably be junk. (all comments are in regards to THF)

Might be as good macro in piece to close darkness SC on dnc/sam, in fact +10% would be a pretty significant amount of dmg in that situation. But for all we know it could be something nuts like x2 crit damage o_o;

[Byrthnoth]

I'm not sure that I actually want any of the items from this update.

I'm interested in:
Ganesha's Mask (if it's actually Attack+4%, which it probably isn't)
Mextli's Harness (Only if the +1 hat completes the set, because Mextli's hat is missing)
Calmecac Trousers and the set-completing hat too, but not really because that would be a full-DD mode tradeoff that I'm unlikely to make on a regular basis.
Maybe Calmecac feet for the 12 Evasion, but realistically I think I'll rarely find myself in a situation where Ballerines aren't sustainable and I shouldn't just be changing jobs.

I don't really care, because I was still keeping myself busy, but I would have been more excited about this update if it has a 10 CHR neck for Waltz instead of all this bullshit.

PS. Why the hell is Dancer on Talekeeper, but not the R/Ex dagger? Stupid freaking Rapiers. It had better do slashing damage so it has some use... to help me solo Jailer of Temperance and get a 5 CHR neck for Waltz!

PPS. urat, Dancer can't wear that dagger.

[Cyprias]

cor on the other hand didn't get jack shit as far as i can tell =(=(=(

Sure there is, just need to appreciate what has been made available to COR's this update.

Mextli Harness
[Body]All Races
DEF:57 Accuracy+17 Ranged Accuracy+17 Sword skill +7 Katana skill +7 Marksmanship skill +7 Enhances "Dual Wield" effect Sphere: Critical hit rate +3% Set: Haste+8%
Lv.90 MNK/THF/BST/RNG/NIN/BLU/COR/PUP/DNC

Despite how difficult this may be to attain, this is still something for COR's out there, even though it's overall usefulness may not be the most efficient piece out there.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I was also talking about using the Daggers for Jishnu's. Not for some shitty Dnc melee.

[urat]

Shit I just saw that, I saw brd and rdm able to use it and assumed dnc could to, goddamnit SE wtf?

At least we get another 46 dmg harpe, might be good for a crit DoT build on my dnc, though I think DW knife is still better for it.

Err what's the stats on the other part of the set? I wonder if it gives 5% DW or not like nin AF body, because then this would definitely be the best nin TP item especially under sphere.

[GreenKnux]

I looked through the list and didn't see anything worthwhile for SMN. Did I miss anything?

Currently it's the only Mextli piece that is known. Possibly next update there will be future additions, or according to <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mextli>, there may be other additions of names that correlate to the gear. However, I don't see any relation to the wiki information given, so I can only suspect that time is the only option for getting the set bonus (Basically, probably will have to wait for the next update to get the bonus).

Mextli's Harness (Only if the +1 hat completes the set, because Mextli's hat is missing)

Pretty sure it will, I don't remember seeing head equivalents for the other "+2" items either. But yeah, wishlists from Voidwatch/KCNM are going to be rather short...

Judging from the stat increases, the Mextli/Anhur/Fazheluo R. bodies appear to be the +2 versions of the Cuauhtli/Hyksos/Fazheluo. If synergy on Quetz is anything to go by, might take a while to appear.

I recall back when they first started showing up on the AH, every single time I'd be out exping on War or Blm, I would receive a tell from this same Galka in auto-trans trying to sell me an nq grim cuirass/yhel jacket for an outrageous price.

As a SCH, this little ring interests me a lot (hello new Immanence toy!). Unfortunately, my inventory is already crying without all of these new toys to try and mash into it. Also, it's SCH, and I rarely ever have a legitimate reason to play SCH.

Because in the update notes of [dev1007] Voidwatch Emerges! thread, there is this that makes Voidwatch possible to add other pieces of different sets:

"The May 9, 2011 version update introduces the first installment of this new challenge, and readies eighteen fields whereupon you will duel the dreaded Voidwalkers. The battle will expand to yet more areas in ensuing releases.

[arus2001]

Curious how Almace and the 150 delay dagger would fare for lolmeleerdm over, say, DA% off-hand. Would assume /NIN, Suppa, and at least capped gear haste and the spell itself.

[Darkmagi]

I'm going to bet that roller's ring is active with either phantom roll, or an 11 roll only.

[Vriska]

I'm going to bet that roller's ring is active with either phantom roll, or an 11 roll only.

Likely. Given the 11 HP it gives, I'd go with the latter... if might even activate only of you're the one who rolled the 11. :/ We can but hope.

[Deathbringer]

Don't jinx it >.>

[urat]

It looks like there's 3 sets, each consisiting of 2 headpieces (NQ/HQ) and 3 body pieces. The body pieces are a NQ, a HQ, and a third (+2?) one that has even better stats and a sphere: effect. Its image also looks a bit different and has a weird little glowy star thing on it. Pics cutesy of Spira ^_^

Actually it looks more african than native american imo, if we're referring to the light armor set. So you're a witch doctor garka?
