Are you remembering to use BA?

Some facts to explain my question.

day/weather bonus for blm caps at 1.35
day is .1
af2 pants are .05
single weather is .1
double weather is .25
ring is .03

we all know not to use pants or ring on day/double weather since we reach cap without them.

Now, whats the deal with the cape. I havent done testing yet, and I can, but has anyone done tests yet.
Whats the dmg bonus on it? .05?
Doesnt this cape fit into this 1.35 cap?
If it does, then am i correct in thinking pants/obi/ring/cape to 1.23 on day only
Am I correct in thinking pants/obi/ring/cape to 1.33 on day/single weather?
Am I therefore correct in thinking this cape, like the pants are good unless you're in day/double weather situation?

Also has anyone done tests to compare goetia chausses +2, to see if/when they are better to use vs af2 pants for day/weather situations?

ok i give up on search!

how does this TH effect work now in regards to assassin's armlets and raider's armlets?

as i read that raider's armlets increased chance of TH procs, so can i swap Assassin's armlets at the end of the fight to get its effect and while in battle, keep raider's or any other hands for that matter?

because what im doing now is just equipping assassin's armlets the whole time in battle..
thanks in advance.

TH+ gear (and atma) gives TH+1. You just need to have them equipped at one point during the fight while taking an action on the enemy to gain the bonus, you don't need to full-time them.

Wasnt using BA no forgot about that completely but is that enough to jump the dmg from 1.5 > 5k?

Just tried with lion+MM+RR and did 4.4k with BA > def down > mab up > cw second try did 2.8k :/ guess it was set proc

with BA looking like about a 2.8k proc

Well you could:

a) Use the 'search thread' tool.

There's a tool for searching within a single thread? Where? Have always found it incredibly frustrating to search for anything in these forums.

Did you seriously blow your BA on enervation the second time?

Spellcast xml for locking a piece of gear in place while a certain JA is in effect?

Example: Locking Mavi Basmak +2 when Burst Affinity is in effect.

[Mercilessturtle]

Are you testing this out on a single mob and just got a resist the second time? Even naked, with atmas and BA CW should be higher than 2.8k. My gear is pretty lol and I do 5-6k.

[grevenilvec75]

What are the best atmas for brewing with Cloudsplitter?
I currently use Atma of the Lion, the Blinding Horn, and the Ultimate.
Also, for gear, I'm currently stacking MAB > STR > MND. Is that the way I should be doing it or should INT be in higher because it's an elemental ws?
Does it even matter when brewing?

don't ever gear for stat mods during brew, they will be wasted.

atma of the lion, blinding horn, and maybe smiting blow. Not too sure.

Having trouble with blu cleave. Charged whiskers only doing about 1.5-1.8k on frogs in la theine.

I seem to recall that frogs have a pretty high natural MDB or MDT-. Even the non-poroggo kind.

Example: Locking Mavi Basmak +2 when Burst Affinity is in effect.

<if Buffactive="Burst Affinity" Skill="BlueMagic">
<equip when="precast|midcast|aftercast|afterws|resting|id le|engaged">
<feet lock="yes">Mavi Basmak +2</feet>
</equip>
</if>

EDIT: I don't know why there is a gap between id and le in idle; there isn't in my edit... shouldn't be anyway. And yeah you don't need the aftercast|afterws|resting bit in there but covers all weird and wonderful possibilities.

i think it is locking it but i'll have to double check it and doing them on 4-5 mobs at time, all doing about same dmg

[Skie]

actually i have a special rule set up for charged whisker and blue feet are included in it for the mab. but i'll check/add that rule in there also just to double check

Duh, I didn't even notice that part. Yeah, don't whisker crappys. Or at least don't expect to one shot them.

oh nice
