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

Go with smite if you have it, does about 16k per + you get light damage.

Kinda sucks when when it's casting and your Lights heal back half your Smite damage.

Is there any way to .dat swap >>THIS<< (and all the others like it) to something which has all the jobs it is used for instead.

[Nattack]

yes, but that sounds like alot more effort than just wiki'ing it...

[grevenilvec75]

Normally I'd agree, but now that every mob drops 4 different items, and i'm lazy as shit to begin with ....

So is it a picture i have to mspaint over, or are they text strings i have to edit?

[Martinius]

Bumping this, any ideas?

maybe three bsts or a mix of bst and smn, but all the PDT and healing (assuming DDx2/healer or DD/healerx2) in the world isn't gonna keep a regular melee alive when it's spamming bite every 6 seconds.

i know a friend beat it w/ 6 ppl, a mix of bst and smn, but don't know if three would be able to call beast/resummon fast enough. it just sucks.

edit: i should say, keep the DD alive AND holding hate.

Otherwiki states that cast time reduction caps at 50% and song spellcasting time stacks with fast cast. Is this true, and if so then as an example would having something like song spellcasting time -40% with another 10% fast cast will cap it?

Fast cast cap is now much larger then 50%
Song spellcasting was never capped at 50% I think. This is eyeballing but with all the atmas inside abyssea BRD was able to finish a Victory March in like 1 sec and it was before fast cast cap increase update.

I know it was asked before but I can't seem to find it, best atmas for cata brew (on Drauga if it matters)
Griffon Claw/Ultimate/Smiting Blow?

I just keep this open while farming NMs that drop 4. Not sure if BG-wiki has something similar, but I haven't been able to find it, if it does.

I guess I figured MAB would win out under brew.

[Chun Liroy]

Any fell cleaving atma set up? Or just normal set ups because you use MS? And can you DA an AoE WS on the target you are attacking?

[TacoTaru]

Been awhile since I cleaved on WAR, but I think I used SA/VV/GC.

[Aurara]

Depends what you're cleaving with, i use AoA/RR/SS jic i die i could zombie the pull, but that hardly happens. If you dont want ruby(oh god ruby is bad etc) can use Cataclysm, and i THINK the best for non-brew is Cosmos/Ultimate/Smiting. But if you dont want amber(i.e fragment farming or TKH farming) just use FC.

[Kohan]

Did 'okay' with Sanguine Blade on Rani a bit back, can't imagine Cataclysm would be much worse provided you have the right atma. of course, you're not going to be doing multiple Rani's on one brew, which might be the point...

Really, there's no reason to settle for what's "okay" when you can do better. Something that won't be resisted is a better pick than something that will be.

[Atoreis]

It is exactly opposite with Brew's MAB +900 adding more MAB is much less important then adding +% damage.

[Gippo]

It is exactly opposite with Brew's MAB +900 adding more MAB is much less important then adding +% damage.

But where does it say you even get MAB with a brew. In fact, "Should Note. Magic Attack Bonus still greatly effects your Magical Damage under Brew effect."

What the fuck is gamerscape, and lol listing wikis as source.

Anyway, as mentioned. cosmos/smiting blow/griff claw is best for brewd cataclysm.
