What causes skillchain damage to exceed the damage of the closing weaponskill?

Corsair was brewing Apademak with wildfire on earthday. Wildfires did 31k, Darkness skillchain did 8k and 10k. The 31k damage did about 37% (I forget the exact percent), and the mob died after 2 weaponskills + skillchain. We concluded that the skillchain damage rolled over and was 73k and 75k. But we have absolutely no idea what could have caused the skillchain damage to be that high. Atmas used were lone wolf, griffon claw, and smoldering sky.

Day/weather bonus, equipment that boosts day/weather bonus (Twilight Cape, Zodiac Ring, Sorcerer's Tonban), staff bonus/affinity damage (elemental staff/magian staff/atma), skill chain damage bonuses (gear/atma/trait), and Klimaform bonus from Savant's Loafers. Obviously, not all of the things I've listed apply to COR. I have screenshots outside of Abyssea of level 1 skill chains that exceede the closing spell's damage from a SCH's Immanence skill chain.

Double helm drop was awesome with TH7+. Would a compromise of killing sobeks whm + nin/thf be best?

I had a pretty good double drop rate with just th3 doing calad: 24 doubles and 2 singles on caraboose, and 20/10 on the fish. I'd do nin/war and whm/thf, subjob won't matter for your whm and it does matter for you.

Thank you all so much for all the help you have given me, I know i have been asking a lot of questions recently and been very kind to answer them.

With that said have another, I like to limit third party apps as much as I can so I know JoyToKey will let me bind that useless SE Screenshot button on my controller to f10 for example. However is there a way either with regedit or natively in windows7 to bind that one key? Just want to bind F10 and let AutoExec change the binding input as needed. Thank you greatly.

If I use my level 35 NPC when I'm level synced to lv21 will she get any EXP at all?

Unless there has been some sort of ninja change, you can't call out your fellow under sync.

NIN + RDM or WHM able to duo Jailer of Temperance?

[Nightfyre]

NIN can solo, you should have no trouble with a healer.

I wasn't about to trust wiki on something as complex as this! I'll take your post as a ringing endorsement of its accuracy, though!

Quick verification that I'm adding/reading this right. level 90 ninja + rajas ring + auspice w/duckbills +2 = +50 subtle blow cap. Therefore, Myoshu is pointless, BUT keep Yurin up because it's a mob status effect.

Yay or nay?

yay

Can Yurin be resisted? I've never seen it resist even while all other ninjutsu was resisting.

I've resisted plenty of times. It does seem to land easier than other ninjutsu though. Maybe some kind of innate mg acc?

Would the petrification tp move cause some trouble?

Hate reset can be slightly annoying if you're using a RDM healer, WHM with a good -enmity set won't have issues due to innately low hate on cures. If it ends up being a problem, just wait for it to change forms.

Just solo'd it on NIN/DNC, easy stuff. Thanks.

Does Mujin Mantle take off 1% or 1 second of Ninjutsu recast? And if it's 1 second then wouldn't it be the best Utsusemi back piece (going from boxer's to mujin mantle midcast, getting the effect from both)?

[Mojo]

Chiming in on the Yurin probably has enhanced magic accuracy.

I believe it's 1 second.

Also chiming in to support Yurin having enhanced macc.

Done KS99 Behemoth with MNK WHM BRD with no issues whatever. Unless you get hit with Meteor immediately before death Meteor happens the MNK can live depending on race + food being used, which saves time when doing consecutive runs.

Cool thanks, we can do those jobs so we'll give that method a go. :D
