Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Marcicus]

When I quit playing the crit dmg cap was 50%. I think someone told me it's been raised to 100%; if that's true would the best atmas for WAR to use be Apoc/RR/SS?

[Sendra]

okay after 3 years i'm making my glorious return to this awful game because every other MMORPG is more awful or a WoW clone (and therefore awful).

-Which jobs are good*?
-Is NIN worth anything in the lv90 meta? RNG? COR? SCH? BLU? DNC?
-Is there a gross amount of <=75 gear used at 90?
-Is hoe checking still cool?

*good = more valuable than similar jobs for content that gets people gear

That's what I use. I. Like it a lot more than vv because of ss extra hp.

Check out the new or returning players thread.

tl;dr version: NIN rocks socks in Abyssea, BLU is useful for some things, save the rest for outside. Some of your gear will carry over, but Empyrean (AF3+1/2) armor and weapons tend to destroy most other gear as a general rule. Gear doesn't matter as much as having good atma selection (when in Abyssea).

I traded my seals to Shemo and got Shami's dialogue, complete with notification that I could exchange my seals at Shemo.

Or if you're Nyosan!

Can any BLU's point me to a good set up for Charged Whisker? Wiki says its modified by both INT and DEX. Good to have a mix? Or go heavy on one or the other? Ive never really looked into BLU magic spells before.

I'm updating my PLD macros (Yeah, I'm that bored) and I can't get the scripts (Not using Spellcast on PLD yet) to bind.
What I always did before was type out /console exec "Paladin/Bind.txt" and I was good to go, now that's not working.
I'm hoping that I overlooked something simple, I haven't played PLD in a very long time.

t1 vnm are 100% pearl, as are nms. So depending on the zone I either vnm, pop some simple NMs or just slaughter mobs regular to build it.

[Skylark]

Great thanks so much, it's been there for a while I'm just too lazy to do anything about it. Just took it out of my init.txt though.

AF body is useful when you're ACC-capped and don't have dual marches + haste. Iga+2 wins when you're at/close to the delay cap, or when the ACC/ATT is particularly useful.

Could use statustimer. would be off a little depending if you click on chest or conflux though. but would be alternative.

SCH is useless and BLU is ok naked for yellow procing, or cleaving if you really gear it, which probably won't be worth the effort given Abyssea is near over for most people that do end game.
