Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

My guess is you are fighting things with alot more def/physical resistance is why slug is doing poor. Which from what I gather is most VW nms. Also lvl correct always hurts melee more than magic. Given your stats assuming no physical resistance and at proper distance you'd have to have a pdif down around 1ish to get the dmg you had. Which is really low considering how much ratt a rng gets. Though being out of the sweet spot cuts it alot. Comparatively older nms like saremeya or kirin I could do 2.5k at 85 with WoE gun.

Also yes not being in sweet spot will make a huge difference and maybe some ratt food. And well look at your slug gear. You have tons and tons of racc in it. Very very little stat boost, str or ratt. Not sure how much you need but that does seem a bit much

The new Fast Cast cap has been on the live servers for at least a couple months now iirc, along with the wiki. Definitely out now though. Looks like the new recast cap info still needs to be added though, at least on the fast cast and spell recast pages.

So does shijin spiral plague land on any NMs or is it the same as delta thrust? I figured this would have been a common question, but a search turns up no answers. Also, has anyone mathed out how shijin fairs against stringing pummel outside of aby?

Tips for a Taru 66 Whm with pretty much 0 magic skill/weapon skill levels against Maat?

**Colenzo** · 2012-01-02 02:05

cure yourself the entire time and tank maat

**Botosi** · 2012-01-02 02:07

Am I gonna need lots of meds and is it worth running around? :/

Nope. Should just be able stand there and cure yourself over and over til the times up.

**Botosi** · 2012-01-02 02:55

Ok I'll give it a go, thanks.

Vulcan's staff is also a big boost to Wildfire. 15% damage increase from 1 piece of gear is pretty significant.

On Holy Moly yeah I'd agree with you. But I couldn't be bothered to edit SC to have it use regular WS set just for this fight. The only designated accuracy pieces there are 1 racc ring, libeccio mantle and earrings, one of which is for STP.

With wildfire being so consistantly decent, can the same be said for Cloudsplitter? Or is the ftp too low for it to be good damage on tough enemies?

Have some yagudo drinks, maybe a vile elixir and +1 in case you run out of MP. Have a macro for some PDT (Earth/Terra's Staff if nothing else) and any -spell interruption rate gear you have in case things get bad. (It is better to be over-prepared.) Also, don't forget that you have flash and Repose if shit hits the fan. I was able to win on my first try on my Galka WHM who had like no MP at all, you should be fine.

My own random question. Could any combination of these jobs beat Beyond Infinity two-boxing?

Septimus: WAR, SMN, THF. RDM, DRK
Atumre: WHM, SCH, BLU, BLM, BRD

I have a feeling that the answer is "no".

**Prothescar** · 2012-01-02 05:16

I doubt any job combination would be capable of beating Beyond Infinity dual boxing unless they're both BSTs with inventories full of Mulsums and a bit of luck.

Pretty unlikely it'll land on anything that matters. As for stringing pummel vs shijin they are pretty close, a little in favor of shijin for pup with really high end gear.

Was it ever figured out how to achieve the full 2000 achievement points for Assault Status on ffxiah.com? I've had captain status for years but I'm still sitting on 1000/2000

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-01-02 08:33

You cannot, as far as I know. It reads the linkshell community, which was never updated to include captain status. The other option is for it to read with Guildwork Client, but that doesn't seem to check your Key Items for the captain tag.

To add to this, aquaveil has been changed if you were not aware. It no longer increases your -spell interruption rate, but rather guarantees no interruption until it wears off.

You're obviously not high enough yet, but this is a nice piece. http://www.ffxiah.com/item/11753/emphatikos-rope

Possibly manaburning it with x2 weakness items, that's only thing I can think of with that job list.

**cdgreg** · 2012-01-02 09:03

@Byrth - thanks for answering that previous question.

Looking to clear the original city storylines that I never did, if I switch to sandy or bastok to begin the storylines will I lose my OPs or the ability to OP? If so, at what rank mission do I regain the ability to OP?

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-01-02 09:07

You can OP as a Rank 1 and you will have access to all the same OPs when you switch back to Windy, but you will have no Supplies Missions (OP Access) completed when you swap to other nations. It used to be that you would reset all your OPs whenever you changed nations, but now you get them back if you switch back to the same nation.

NP!
