.....that was a simple answer that vastley exceeded my needs. An internet for you, good sir.

Edit: Staff is on my WHM, I'm just leveling it to have blunt procs covered when I'm farming stuff with THF on main.
I'm trying to break latents in Kon while farming dark rings because hey, if your going to do a chore you might as well do more than one chore at a time.

Is it worth making a 4hit build for annihilator while /war? Seems like you would need to make a lot of sacrifices. Maybe with regain moonshade?

Assuming Voidwatch and not abyssea. typical MNK set up, Vereth/etc, 5/5+2 / Black belt vs 4/5+2 / Black Belt / Ganesha.

Edit: Basically i see it this way... 5/5+2 offers 7STR, a small portion of set bonus (likely under 0.5% proc rate), and the 26%(25 true haste) cap.

Ganesha offers 4% Attack (Which, is roughly +20~ or so depending on the situation, possibly as high as +25/+26).

Leaning toward 5/5+2... Even if its overcapping 28% Haste, overcapping > undercapping even by a small amount yah?

Well you can do it without moonshade and without really sacrificing your ws build much (like mekki rose and rajas). Since you can preshoot in snap/rapid shot all you really losing is some ratt/racc really during tp phase. So lose a little dmg there but increase ws frequency alot. Seems worthwhile if you can get the gear especially if emnity matters... but yeah it might take awhile to get all the store tp gear

**Darkmagi** · 2011-10-09 21:48

Yeah need that neck off of Qiin, wish I didn't toss my mekki shakki back when I thought I would never do rng.

**dasva** · 2011-10-09 21:58

Lol I actually totally forgot about the new gear... sadly though that neck is the only real new addition for that and is only 1 more than what you could get before.

thanks again :O

So, Judging from Failures post, the situations are pretty limited to the point of not worth carrying... But responses to that seem to be saying differently. Oh so rough. Going to continue to read...

Edit: Merciless turtles claims its pretty much Win for MNK, with Tantra "Possibly winning with Marches". I think I'm just going to use it for a bit, See how i like it. Not like it matters much. Even if its just a sidegrade at best its already in my inventory.

Is Dark Star (Yilbegan, Anguis) reduced by MDT or PDT?

I'm having a hard time getting a feel for Anguis (#07) since Walk of Echoes is kind of a free for all right now. Would you say it has a decent amount of regain, frequently uses two TP attacks back to back, and favors dark star over any other attack regardless of where the tank is positioned?

Unless my eyes were wrong, yep.
I see Aegis PLD takes only 100 ish damage per dark star.

Yeah, it either has great regain or save TP, there's only about 2 attack rounds max (from my experience) before it does TP move again. About TP attack preference, I'm not too sure.

I've heard claim that 95 Aegis pld caps at -90% mdt instead of 95% kinda making upgrading from 90 less awesome. Any truth to this? Also semi related is af3 body's mitigate dmg added directly on to -dt or is it a seperate factor?

Not the best example but it'll do >.>

I'm running FFXI at maximum settings in 1920x1080, it's like this even in true full screen.

87.5%, directly

**dasva** · 2011-10-10 00:21

Well that's poopoo. Guess it just means less as you wont need to really maccro anything in for magic moves lol

Your background resolution is set high enough to cause a problem with the texture/effect on the SMN stuff. in my experience the smn effect starts to look wierd at 2048x2048 background, which is the new high setting that was released a couple updates back.

I downloaded a skillchain app for iPhone, obvoiously irrelevant if you dont have one in favour of a better phone, but if you got one, I'd grab it. It's free and fuly updated. Easier than tabbing to something on firefox too imo. Called ChainSearch.

Granted I'm kinda surprised you got Fistule uncontested...if theres competition see if you can team up, they might want discharges.

I've had four pets on me on more than one occasion.

**dasva** · 2011-10-10 03:11

Last time I saw more than 2 was when someone actually killed 1. Not sure if that was the cause but yeah I've dual boxed it a few times on thf (could probably solo with some temps) and never saw more than 2.

**Pandum** · 2011-10-10 03:12

possible to overstep death prophet?

Its triggered by them all using Fluid Spread at once, but I'm not really sure what triggers that. Definitely not time-based.

**Yugl** · 2011-10-10 03:27

Looking around, I don't see many people that play on Odin. Tell me what I'm potentially in for (preposition...).
