Does HQ/NQ affect synergy augments?

[Yugl]

Max augments, yes.

[Michelob]

Max augments, yes.

Not only the max augments, actually. Any HQ also guarantees the presence of the "HQ augment" for that piece of equipment where NQ does not.

Does HQ/NQ affect synergy augments?

HQ gets the "HQ augment"+1

Ebodys HQ augment is DA

NQ (adaman)maxes at 2% DA with a HQ3
HQ (armada) maxes at 3% DA with a HQ3

BLM does fine against the air attacks. Anything with a good WHM's Barfira resists them almost all of the time even without other gear. I'm not sure how many good BLMs it would take to bring it down again, but probably not too many.

Just did a set today after asking here, went fine. Did it PLD(almace/ochain) WAR(ukon) WHM BLM and had no issues. WAR did a self SC at 75ish percent and that + the MB left it at around 45%. First attempt at self SC he moved before the 2nd went off, but a very geared solo BLM with convert + Devotion thrown in can ground him solo. Thanks for the tips.

Does HQ/NQ affect synergy augments?

Do you mean synergizing the +1 piece of gear or actually getting an HQ synergy result? If you're talking about HQ synergy result then what I said applies, if you're talking about NQ vs. HQ piece of abjuration equipment then what Yugl and Taint said is true, with a minor amendment to Taint's statement: the max range doesn't just apply to the "HQ augment". For example while the HQ augment on Adaman/Armada Hauberk is DA with a max of 2/3 respectively, the potential Store TP range is also higher on the Armada Hauberk capping at +6 as opposed to Adaman Hauberk's +5.

What would the best CDC build for PLD be inside and outside of abyssea? Or should I be posting this in the "What's better?" thread?

As a trick from old time-y Wyrming, it's easier to make sure you self-skillchain if you pull the Wyrm away from the center and Gravity him before you self-skillchain. He has to walk back to the middle before he can fly, and so if you get your melee to stand a little bit "inside" him, they will always be able to get the skillchain off.

DualBoxing question;

Trying to set it up so that I have blinkmenot loaded and the settings changed for one of my characters only and I'm having a bit of trouble with autoexec. This is my first time playing with autoexec and I would like to try and do some other stuff with it, so I thought this would be a good start.

Spoiler: show

I've tried a few different variations;

<register event="login_Catatonic">
exec catatoniclogin.txt
</register>

with

load blinkmenot
wait 1
bmn 0x7FFF

in the script named as above. However when the script is triggered via AE it only processes the first line. when I //exec the script from ingame all lines are processed.

I have also tried

<register event="login_Catatonic">
load blinkmenot
bmn 0x7FFF
</register>

and still it only seems to process the first line, I did a pastebin search for some other autoexecs and couldn't really find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I meant HQ/NQ abj gear. That's pretty lame then, should have HQ'd some of the stuff I had lol

[Necromage]

Does the plugin Hidemodels still exist somewhere? A friend gave it to me a long time ago and it was great but I lost it.

Asuran Fists/Ascetic's Fury pending on what you are fighting.

Perhaps I'm dumb, but with Impetus down I much prefer Howling Fist to Ascetic's when outside.

You are not dumb.

Duoing with a RDM in GoV areas, on my PLD, would you say /war or /nin? Since everything is DC-, it's really about better dmg. Does dual wield 2's delay reduction beat berserk?

[Nightfyre]

It's DW III unless your sub's gimp, and yes it does (especially on lowbie shit where attack isn't as useful).

[Trix]

So what's the point of /shout now that /yell is available?

[dasva]

So what's the point of /shout now that /yell is available?

When you aren't in Ru'Lude Gardens / Upper Jeuno / Lower Jeuno / Port Jeuno or want to put something out more than once every 60 seconds

[Yugl]

Now 30s since update, but yes. Include the fact that you might need multiple lines.

Damn ninja fixes I can't keep track of them... now if only they would fix azure lore....

[Pandorablue]

I'd rather they "ninja fix" spell/ws lock.
