Best job to attempt solo plucking wings on? (besides blu)

Blue mag... oh wait. You could try Summoner, use shiva (probably better with rush vs magic bp) or diabolos to open with sleep and just keep resummoning after each death. His cast times are pretty long which will give you enough time to run out of range. The mobs start to resist sleep after a bit and some wake up faster than others so that might be a bit of a pain.

BST with sheep and same strategy, sheep song and kill.

Glyph Axe to get TP at first, I assume? Pet PDT gear required? BST/DNC for Violent Flourish?

I have no details just saw many BST doing this solo while I was doing OP this weak.

[Draylo]

Yeah that sounds better too, I think /dnc stun works on him so that would be good.

Wanted to ask about the App "Clipper2"
I been playing with it some and it is very interesting and tempting, however I am wondering how safe is it really?
I understand that speed hacking thru zones can lead to problems and really don't see me needing that function a lot.

What interests me the most is the GM flag & the JA0Wait....
So few questions.
1 is all this done client side? I played with JA0Wait some and friend said it isn't terribly noticeable?
2 GM flag i notice it kinda "blinks" from white to red very fast sometimes. Is this normal?
2.1 Is there times when you should Not use it or can it stay on all the time?
3 With JA0Wait and GM Flag is there any other plugins/etc that will offer the same result without needing an actual *.exe file?
4 Lastly if I did want to try the speed function when would it maybe be useful/practical? I think the Zone thing would be a mistake but is there any situation it might work for?

Please know I come with questions not wishing to annoy anyone or step on toes/egos, just somewhat unsure of this new tool and wanted to ask folks that might know the program better.
Thank you for any help, I am grateful.

GM tag can stay on at all times. JA0Wait you might want to not use when in parties. Speed hacking is great for running to shit that takes forever (for example getting maws in the past if you've never done it on a character). It has a feature to disable it when near people, and keep it running otherwise. You just need to NOT use speed/pos around people (and otherwise be invisible if you have to be near people).

Basic rule with clipper 2 is don't be a fucking idiot and you won't get banned.

Why would I not want to use JA0Wait when in PTies? Just not sure the reasoning, I like it is obviously the no delay with moving and animation. If ever questioned couldnt I blame it on server lag?
Isnt there code for Speeding from zone to zone, thought I read that many times?
GM Flag "blinking" not an issue then?

Also Thank you so much for the help I am very thankful.

I can understand if I used it to sit ontop of say a building or walk through the Banishing Gates while people are around would be stupid, however where would be a more subtle misuse that could get me in trouble?

I use it in parties sometimes, but it just depends. Some people might be dicks and report it even if you call it lag.

Going through shit near people is pretty much what gets you banned. GMs don't actively watch what you're doing unless given a reason to.

SE's failure to make JA0wait a standard part of gameplay should be a criminal offense.

Agreed, lol

Apradar 3.0 questions:
1.) Any way to zoom in on Mapradar with a touchpad? I tried shift everything but no luck. I'm thinking plugging a mouse into it to zoom may be my only option
2.) Is out of range spawn alert working for anyone? Doesn't matter if I'm standing on the dead body I can't get it to alert me unless it pops within 50' or whatever the distance is. Yes I've checked my settings to verify it is X'd

Another Q:
How bad is Titlacauan? 2x tanks, whm, and grellow proc?

[Obsidian]

Why would I not want to use JA0Wait when in PTies?

It's pretty obvious. It's like casting Blaze spikes and trying to run before the animation finishes. I don't see why you'd need it in EXP alliances anyway.

I've heard several times that zoning too quickly (like fleeing across La Thiene) will get you auto-jailed, but I have no desire to verify it myself. Using portals in Salvage without opening the correct doors is probably a bad idea too. Just because you're invisible doesn't mean I can't see your fleeing footstep effects, so use around other people at your own risk.

Basically, don't be a fucking idiot.

[Draylo]

Don't cheat!

[Nishida]

I've accidentally left it on while on a chocobo..trying to zone with flee'd choco it gives you "You cannot enter this area" and you have to relog.

Has anyone been having any issues converting to T3s in heroes zones since todays update? Just went ~0/10 which normally I would chalk up to bad luck but the funny thing is ..... the last Chione we popped wasn't visible and couldn't be targeted. It the proceeded to kill my whm even though no dmg showed up in the log and then moved onto the thf. Idk just thought that was odd and that maybe Chione got borked in the update.

Portent Pants are an improvement

I have them and nashira pants but I'd rather take the MND as my skill is beyond ridiculous already.
