Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Suteru]

edit wtf double post, only hit the post button once.

If one were to reformat their Ps2 HDD what information would they lose?

I know pictures/emails/macros/mapmarkers would get flushed but would I also lose my friendlist and personal messages?

Macros and Mapmarkers can be saved to the server. Just do L1 button + L3 button to save and R1 button + R3 button to retrieve. Messages are lost, but friendlist stays.

Best atmas for Cloudsplitter brew?

Assuming Lion/Blinding Horn/Smiting?

[Gun-it]

Because most SAMs are noobs. Taint's set is one of the best.

They were not quoting Taint's set btw.

The zanshin update seem to change things up.

5/5 zanshin 5/5 iki

What WS set do you use or is this just a 6 hit?

[Hyriu]

It's a 6-hit.

On that note, does Unkai back really beat Atheling?

[Phoenyx]

Believe Taint is in favor of Unkai back for the enhaned Zanshin. With the recent update, a more Zanshin-focused build with the merits he mentioned may work out to be better than the traditional builds and merit combos we're used to.

@Aylee: I figure if a the debate exists between capped haste and 5-hit - and both are achievable with a single gearset - then there really isn't a debate. I've only really skimmed the Hasso+Zanshin info since last update, but there's a chance Taint's build will be tops with re-worked Tier2 merits.

[Phoenyx]

Bah, double.

[Mojo]

Suzaku doesn't resist Gravity, so just run away from Chainspell. I tried Seiryu solo on NIN/DNC and I'm not sure if it's possible due to constant TP spam.

[Mojo]

Also I did Suzaku many times on THF + WHM/RDM. I actually died once cause my WHM was out of range and I didn't realize until it was too late. I then used Gravity to kite the entire 5 minutes while THF unweakened. Not even hard at all.

[Chun Liroy]

During the "Sidequest" portions of the WoTG main mission line, can I do them all in a row or do I have to do the missions that are in between them as well to gain access?

Edit: Nvm, missed the requirements thing at the top of wiki.

[JustaWAR]

I hate asking questions about maint., but the game won't be playable during the POL update, right?

[Rellikard]

What would be a better offhand sword for a BLU w/ Almace: OAT or DA+10% sword?

It's also an XI update, something about changing /yell and some other things.

I'm not completely sure, but I think the XI update is going from now until 3:00 PDT, then a POL update from 3:30 until much later?

[Neisan]

Of those 2, DA, although Elemental Shamshirs can be a better choice depending on if you need the stats.

POL update ends at 3, XI at 3:30.
