Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

Does Fudo SC with itself?

Does Fudo SC with itself?

yes, makes light.

[dasva]

So you think I could dual box fafnir with a thf and a really gimp 85 whm?

[Ranth]

Can I solo Alexander Prime on Summoner at 90? Or should I bring another person?

For those wondering, I just duoed it with me on Monk and a friend on Red Mage. Fight was stupid easy with Verethragna, as some others said the only danger is Terror so be ready to swap between MDT and PDT sets as needed while terrored.

It's under like help desk or config, been awhile but it's something like turn off new adventurer tag.

Edit: Decided to actually look. Help desk > Config > turn off new adventurer status.

[msthief]

Oh... it's a newbie status (probably not the exact name). I think you turn it off in help desk or config - hope someone can give you an exact response.

[Mercilessturtle]

WS setup, dunno but I'd assume drk uses standard apoc/VV/RR

If you don't know, just don't answer. Making up random shit isn't helpful. VV is obviously not a good atma for torcleaver.

Really no reason to have no foot rise 5/5.

Climactic flourish?

Nothing simple. I've heard actually contacting SE can work sometimes but most that try don't have any luck.

Yes, he's a joke. My WHM mule has 7/tick Refresh, but it was beyond easy to do, just a bit slow. Sub RDM or SCH if you're at all worried about MP.

Pretty sure you can keep steps up fast enough with presto to make full use of Climactic flourish.

[Draylo]

Is Yarnball still borked?

Presto step step reverse cycle takes 30sec and uses all steps, every 3mins can do ...reverse nfr climflour presto step.. for 5(6) crits with 5/5

Edit: Personally I have 1fan 5nfr 4closed, as I've been using oat dagger as offhand largely and saber's impact was reduced. At some point I'll replace this, and drop 1closed for a saber.

Well by gimp I mean no refresh gear and rdm is it's only sub. I just made the account about a month ago lol

[Deader2818]

Just seems like closed to to good to not have 5/5 esp if doing things out side of abyssea on dancer.

I remember reading a discussion about this a while ago, but I've lost it. I could ask this in the spellcast thread, but I'll ask here anyway.

Say I want to make a macro that switches to PDT/MDT set mid-fight by using spellcast and a variable, how would I go about doing that?

I remember a guy saying something like he wrote a macro that would just say "//sc var set" etc. followed by a "dummy spell" like /ma "Meteor" <t>, but I just tried that and it doesn't work. Both of those lines when typed in a macro result in "... A command error occurred" and spellcast does nothing.

Anyone know how to accomplish this? Would be annoying to have to type it out every time...

[Fievel]

How can a whm have 0 refresh gear? Some of it is basic shit.

yes

Well, I use a more complex version of this to handle all of my Evasion/Acc/Defense/etc. swaps, but more simplified:

<!--Variables-->
<var name="MDT">0</var>
<var name="PDT">0</var>

<!--End-->

<!--Toggles-->

<if spell="DummySpell1">
			<if advanced='"$MDT" = "0"'>
				<var cmd="set MDT 1" />
				<addtochat color="57">Gear Toggle - MDT On</addtochat>
			</if>
			<else>
				<var cmd="set MDT 0" />
				<addtochat color="57">Gear Toggle - MDT Off</addtochat>
			</else>
		</if>

<if spell="DummySpell2">
			<if advanced='"$PDT" = "0"'>
				<var cmd="set PDT 1" />
				<addtochat color="57">Gear Toggle - PDT On</addtochat>
			</if>
			<else>
				<var cmd="set PDT 0" />
				<addtochat color="57">Gear Toggle - PDT Off</addtochat>
			</else>
		</if>

<!--Aftercast and Gear Swap Handling-->

<if spell="Dummy Spell1|Dummy Spell2|etc."><var cmd="set Time precast" /></if>
		<elseif spell="autoset">
			<if status="resting"><var cmd="set Time resting" /></if>
			<elseif status="idle"><var cmd="set Time idle" /></elseif>
			<elseif status="engaged"><var cmd="set Time engaged" /></elseif>
		</elseif>
		<else><var cmd="set Time aftercast" /></else>
<!--End-->

<if status="engaged">
<if Advanced='"$MDT" = "1"'><equip when="$Time" set="MDT" /></if>
<elseif Advanced='"$PDT" = "1"'><equip when="$Time" set="PDT" /></elseif>
<else><equip when="$Time" set="TP" /></else>
</if>

<!--End-->

Something like that should work.

"Doing things" is pretty vague. Closed position is nice for soloing or solo tanking, but what are you soloing outside of abyssea that you need acc and evasion for? The stuff dnc was good for (dynamis, einherjar) nobody does, and closed position didn't matter for anyways.
