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

[Atoreis]

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."

My source is here. http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/Transcendency

It was tested like ages ago that brew is +900 mab. It was done by some /mage casting stone I think. I tho everyone know that already.

[Gippo]

anyone know who did those tests?, seems odd that all visible parameters like str, mnd, are 999 total, but mab is 900 total.

LOL hey there's that melee smn that got shunned the fuck out of this site, haha

Serious question: I know you're supposed to tail tank Alfard, but do you do the same with the NQ version, or is there no point to it since it doesn't have nerve gas?

It isn't 900 total, brew gives +900, so if you had ZERO mab from other sources brew would make your MAB multiplier 10.00

No point. In fact, it seems like his tail is more dangerous than Alftard's at times.

[Mojo]

Tail tanking is still faster, 'ideally', for the NQ (especially if you have Innin) due to no physical screen TP moves. However, I front tanked it because you can't enfeeble it reliably and it becomes somewhat dangerous without blind/slow (unless you end up using an evasion build, which defeats the purpose altogether.)

There's no reason to care personally, but the first post in that link should have answered your question (as to what GamerEscape is). It's essentially the "new FFXIclopedia," but the old one wasn't closed, so new information may be on one, the other, or both.

[Koyangi]

Has anyone else experienced an issue with Tunga? It has happened to me multiple times. Sometimes he'll look like he's floating in the air and hate is irrelevant, once he's beating on the WHM, it's impossible to kill him(WHM eventually dies etc), because while trying to DD it down, Voke, etc, it still stays attached to WHM. If I stand back and just voke he will not move to the NIN. If he doesnt do this he is the easiest mob in the game, when he's doing the glitchy thing he's the hardest thing I've ever fought before (it's so retardedly annoying to wipe to a mob that's glitching up).

I've since said fuck dealing with his ability to do this randomly. I've since just Gold boxxed farm, got 4 Ulh and 4 Itz pop sets just last night, a lot less stressful I might say.

[Raen Ryong]

If you're Slowed, you can't build hate on him. Fool's Drinks etc can greatly simplify the fight and make it less of a headache.

[Mercilessturtle]

so new information may be on one, the other, or both.

Or more likely, neither.

Koyangi: are you sure it is "glitching" and not just "casting slowga"?

[Fereydoon]

Dumb question, but going into CoP dynamis doesn't reset your outside cooldown, does it?

[Fievel]

No they're separate

[Auspice]

For Wildfire:
Sveltese/Uggy pendant
vs.
WS belt/gorget

HALP please!

[Radec]

Svelt+Ugga/Artemis normally, Belt+Gorget better for brew.

[Auspice]

Righto, exactly as I had expected. Thanks

[Ocara]

If I wanted to test triple attack % what's the lowest delay I can safely work with for kparser to figure it out? Might test apoc/omega atmas this weekend if nobody else gets around to it and I'm bored.

[Byrthnoth]

Motenten recommends no lower than 210 delay (Haste included) if you're doing Triple Attack. That would be 280 delay with 25% gear Haste.

[Ocara]

Kitty rod has 288, that should work! If I didn't throw it away...

[Chun Liroy]

So, I have a tier 3+tier 2 VNM, is there a way to tell if the Tier 2 is up? If I'm in the area, it will tell me the location, correct?

[Pendulum]

T1 resonates feebly
T2 resonates softly
T3 resonates solidly

Since radar/ASE got broken i don't know how to locate NMs if the tracking range overlaps. ie: I was looking for ketea, getting 'solidly' hints, and was < 10 yalms from its position and a T1 pops on me.
