Random Question Thread XXI: You're Not My Random Question Thread Dad

[Skeelo]

We'll have like Ukon Veret THF WHM and then whatever mules are on

Then yes either CS stun or PD is needed for sure. Since you probably wouldnt be able to kill before ying/yang pops.

Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that 2-4 is good if you need to heal and OAT is beaten by other options if you need pure damage or for solo so from OAT and 2-4 the second seems to be more relevant.

Most people don't do anything that involves a dnc healer anymore, just cop dynamis and einherjar left really. In those cases you have a brd, and tp gain is a non-issue, just do phurba/DDtypedagger. For soloing you don't want the extra TP feeding of a 2-4 weapon, and for DDing saber dance will crap all over a multi-hit weapon. Evasionx2, phurba, DDoption(x2) is pretty much all you need for dnc.

[Secksi]

Is Ratatoskr really a 90 minute minimum repop?

Doing a regime or just killing worms?

Koyanagi says they've seen it pop sooner, I've personally never seen it pop sooner and my worst streak was 6-9 hours, I fell asleep midway camping it.

regime with crabs and a landworm. people still party there too I got in a level sync party that worked real well.

1.) Is masamune a great weapon, or do people complete it just because it's easy?

2.) Is the Corsesca +2 with DMG+40 and OAT the hot shit I've read about for DRG?

[Fievel]

It's a great weapon for a subpar job.

Anyone know if SpellCast can run an event based on Login?

Also:
Elemental Obi, just effect DMG potency or does it effect Magic Acc or debuff potency say for paralyze? Thank you.

Masamune is still good outside abyssea. Inside play your drg.
OAT polearm should still be one of drg best polearms other then Mythic iirc.

You need to use autoexec for running events on login.
Obi do not enhance potency, not sure about m.acc, not easy to test.

Thanks for the info, been hesitant to use autoexec. actually trying to cut down on plugins but I am going to give it a shot.

Since I am new to AutoExec anyone with any neat or useful events feel free to inform me, love to learn new things.

edit:
Been playing with AutoExec some and i like:

<!--Ninja-->
	<register event="jobchange_nin/*" silent="true">
		input /macro book 1;
		wait 1;
		input /macro set 1;
		input /echo ------------------------------------------------------------ Macros Changed to NIN;
	</register>

However if i log to mule it wants to set same thing. What event would tell AE to ignore mule and then once logged out of mule would resume for main char?
Thanks again for all the info.

According to this year's census, there's only one person who owns a Tupismati (SCH mythic) anyone know who it is? (probably a JP?)

Anyone have any good levelling spots (solo) recommendations for the 30-40ish range? It seems like that's a big dead zone, normally I do Jugner -> Qufim, but it's nowhere near as fast as 1-29 and 40-60. I have to level DNC and WAR as SJs, and I'm definitely not looking forward to dealing with that range currently

DRG BLU RDM SCH MNK

I need to use 8 combat merits. Thus far, I have Polearm, Sword, and H2H. The rest should go to Staff, Evasion, or Guarding?

[Ace-o-fire]

Would it be worth it to come back?

I had a 80 Drg with subs and Wyrm Helm and some other relic gear. Havent gotten to Sky yet, no Sea (Close on Sea). Had some cash around 200K i wana say. Never stared work on Dynamis weapons, but would look too. Also haven't worked on any ToAU or WoTG.

I was on Phoenix a while ago but i would be willing to switch if there is a half way decent and welcoming End Game Shell i could partner up with.

Is it worth coming back? I stopped playing when 114 came out then i got turned off from MMO's for a while.

Hope that was a joke.

I have RDM MNK PLD SMN (sort of the same weapon spread), I'm 8/8 H2H/Sword and 4/4 Shield/Evasion, haven't spent the last 8 because there's honestly nothing useful to put them in. I guess you've already capped two defensive categories, but if you're determined to spend them, I'd probably do evasion (but I'd also drop Parrying and cap Staff).

Unless you find yourself in a place where you're only getting staff skill from sub (rdm/whm, blu/war etc) and you need to trigger sunburst (This also depends on +skill gear, ymmv), I can't see staff merits over doing eva/parry.

Practical applications for rancor collar?
I was considering it for v.smite/blade: hi/drakesbane at a glance, probably not for TP aside from NIN. Not sure if there's been any discussion on it yet.
