[shepardG]

NVM, figured it out, thanks though

Best mob to build pearle on in Attohwa?

[Veikuri]

try

/console exec nin//tp.txt

if it isn't an issue with it being a .doc or similar.

Edit, trying it myself that's only an issue with \ vs \\, not / vs //

Still doesn't work also I'm using notepad to make the scripts. Could it possibly be that windower is in my program files which I need to click "allow' whenever I modify files and it's blocking the file from being read?

I just came back to the game after quitting around the first non Abyssea addon, so I feel like a complete noob all over again.

Have the roles of WAR, SAM, NIN, or MNK changed much? I'm guessing WAR is still the most common sub for NIN? What subs are popular for the other 3 jobs? WAR/NIN with axes still viable?

Also, I just got the timer started for Abyssea, but that aside, any tips on jumping back into the game? Obviously there's exp in Abyssea, but anything else?

Thanks!

If I cast Phalanx II on a low level character. Does it suffer the same penalty as Haste?

1. WAR and NIN are really popular due to proc system and both being strong DDs as well; WAR is still the most common sub for Nin (also gives access to polearm/staff procs with merits + skill hachimaki). MNK is a strong tank for reasons listed below and SAM has tapered off in popularity due to limited procs/noncrit WS. The New Empyrean Weaponskill keeps Sam competitive outside Abyssea though.
2. WAR: usually /sam unless you need dagger procs, unless something uses single target nukes it's fairly equal for damage mitigation assuming you had to mitigate damage; otherwise with whms having near bottomless pools of mp WAR can keep Hasso up fulltime on the majority of mobs giving it an easy edge over /nin in terms of damage.
SAM: /WAR
MNK: /WAR
3. You'll be better off /sam and using a GA.

There's a thread on people returning to the game, should read up on the changes.

I'll have to check something when i get home but there's a 1 in that screenshot that shouldn't be there iirc (Could not execute 1 nin//tp.txt).
Also make sure you have the right windower folders - I've had dual installations of windower before that have messed me up, and i've put the .txt in the wrong scripts folder.

Edit: the 1 is displayed, and double // works just as / works. make sure your scripts folder and windower.exe are in the same folder.

All reports in this thread have BLU, COR, SCH, DNC, and PUP AF2-1 (the second slot) being paired with a non-expansion AF2-1. I did Dynamis - Tav today and noticed the same thing. I could get non-expansion AF2-1 without getting expansion AF2-1, but I couldn't get Expansion AF2-1 without getting non-expansion AF2-1. We got 6 Expansion AF2-1, and they were each paired with a non-expansion AF2-1

Does anyone have an experience that violates this rule in Dynamis - Tav (for AF2-1), and does anyone have an experience that violates this rule (for AF2-1) in other Dreamland zones?
I already know that it's not true for AF2, because we got Commodore's Tricorne today without another drop.

Anyway, this is mostly interesting to me as another drop mechanic. It should show that drops can be contingent on each other, which is not something our current drop rate model includes.

Ideal Ukko's set? No access to Twlight at the moment.

Can anyone tell me the EXACT placeholder for Trottering Toby in Bat. Downs? Wiki is telling me the PH is outside of his pop area. Been on this last kill for way to long. Thanks.

I found the best way was to kill the top sapling in each group of 2 in widescan around where his spawn area is. He spawned rather quickly for me. Should be noted even though the 3 sets of saplings are in one general area he can spawn about a grid closer to jeuno, so make sure you check widescan frequently for him.

Twilight isn't even used on war besides idle.

Best, for inside, should be similar to this.

Unsure about earring.

Outside should switch hands to AF3+2 neck to kubira waist to pipalaka, Crit damage byakko's,

I thought it would be something like that, was mostly unsure if there were better neck/waist options than breeze/light. Would a Flame Pearl beat out Ravager's?

Those changes will maybe cap your dDEX vs greater colibri.. in other words if you fight something serious or higher then EM byakko would probably be a waste if you wouldn't add more dex.

[Churchill]

iirc from what I mathed out Bier/+1 beats ele with berserk up by a lot, gorget/war neck tied, vulcan earring beats war earring both situations, cavaros slightly (0.99%) ahead with zerk up but yeah, twilight fails miserably in comparison (Not nitpicking gears)

If you have only Ravager's Head +1 then they are almost the same with AF3 ahead slightly except for when berserk is down

I'm gonna dualpost this to the windower forums and here since here gets more traffic.

G15 Binder help
So I've been passing one of the keyboards in this family for a bit at a local store and have known about the plugin for windower, and managed to get one for a decent price. The problem is that I cannot get the silly thing to work, no matter what. I've read through this thread on the matter - http://forums.window...__hl__g15binder

I've got a G110, and I read in the thread that different versions of the keyboard might work differently.

If I understand the directions correctly, you clear the assigns to the keys in the progam that comes with the keyboard. Then load the plugin, then using an alias with m#g# to get the key to work.

So far, its not working for me.
alias m1g1 exec test.txt

doesn't exec the file, which does run from the command line for me. Any help would be appreciated.

How exactly does "Damage Taken" work together with "Physical Damage Taken" and "Magical Damage Taken"? Are they all separate groups and calculated separately in a certain order. Or are they just added up. Furthermore are -damage and +damage calculated separately as well? If added together do they share the same 50% cap?

IE: Would Chtonic Staff(MDT-12% PDT+6%) + Twilight Torque(DT-5%) be [PDT+1% MDT-17%] or [PDT+.7% MDT-16.4%]?

[Byrthnoth]

They seem to simply add to the same term, like Slow and Haste. I believe everything on this page to be correct: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Damage_Taken

It looks like G110 is like the G15v2 with only 2 columns of G keys. Try g15v2 binder. http://windower.net/plugins/G15r2Binder.dll

[Suteru]

Would anyone be interested in testing my new Android app "Proc It"? It is just a list of all the possible procs, good to have if you forget which spells or WS proc. It doesn't really do anything but list them right now, but I'd like to make sure I didn't horribly misspell any WS names. Also let me know how the startup time is, it seems a bit slow on my emulator but I am not sure how a real phone would perform.

Link no longer worky and the link under windower forum downloads is only for first one.
