Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Yugl]

Talk to whoever you got the xml from, decent chance it was Yugl or Motenten, or based on the ones they did. Check the spellcast thread.

I just checked the completed XML thread and neither Motenten's or Akyrley90's THF XML resembles that. I don't see any variables when I do a quick glance either.

Can anyone share their rudra storm ws set?

Not sure if you have Moonshade earring for TP bonus, otherwise Thundersoul or Rajas > Epona's (I would still use Rajas outside since it gives fSTR), Alucinor replaces Alcide's +1 Mitts I believe, and Toci's body beats loki's but gl on those.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this spellcast script? I keep getting error "XML parsing error: line 0 - failed to open file".

Go download a different Thief XML. That one looks stupid and has so much completely unneccessary things in it. It's needless complicated.

Also whilst you're at it, remove this from your TP set:
<hands>Assassin's Gauntlets</hands>

You do not need to fulltime TH+ gear. Use it for the first action, then equip rel gear.

[Ratatapa]

Dont forget to equip them back for killshot

No moonshade.
Thundersoul + Epona inside? Rajas/Thundersoul outside?
Alucinor/Toci cant do. Loki better inside?

otherway is tricking spellcast to cast a specific spell and you put a section for when the spell cast you change to th gear so you have a macro with
//sneak attack
//aeroga4 i think that was one way i saw the code around.

[noodles355]

Or, just do this:

<if status="engaged">
	<equip when="engaged">
		<hands>Assassin's Armlets</hands>
		<feet>Raid. Poulaines +2</feet>
	</equip>
</if>

You'll equip TH gear for first action, after you've made one melee strike, hit your normal TP macro and swap back to TP gear, then don't worry about it again. There is no need to swap in TH gear for anything other than the first action on a mob. It doesn't even need to be a melee swing. A Ranged attack (missed or hit), Step, Flourish, whatever, doesn't matter.

I use that above code. I also use TH gear in my /ra macro for pulling. I also have a pure gearswap macro that swaps them in so for example if I'm fighting one dynamis mob and need to stagger the others, I can equip TH gear for the first step/flourish, then swap back to normal TP gear for the proceeding steps/flourishes.

That would equip TH gear when you Sneak Attack. Why in god's name would you want to do that?

I've been farming WoE coins for a while now and I don't know why. What weapons are even worth making?

Damn it Rocl, I told you were are all making staffs. Pay attention

it was an idea doesnt have to be exactly as that like you can have 2 sa macros(one for normal sa and one for th) OR a better alternative have your normal tp and your th set and have a variable change macros(two of them) one for TH+tp and one for tp gear and they are permanents until you hit the macro for the variable change

/console sc var set Attack Normal
/console sc var set Attack Evasion
/console sc var set TH 1 (TH Gear over current Attack)
/console sc var set TH 0

can see the code in here

I equip hands/feet on ranged attack personally.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this spellcast script? I keep getting error "XML parsing error: line 0 - failed to open file".

Here's a link to my THF xml. It uses Autoexec and only equips +TH gear on a ranged attack.
http://pastebin.com/Pgsupr7V

I did a major rewrite of my THF xml a few days ago, it's been working fine for me since then, but I can't guaranty it's 100%, so let me know if you have any issues.

Also, it uses autoexec, comments at top tell you what you need for it to work right.

Bump since it was last post, on the last page.

What's a good set looking like for Namas tp/ws on SAM? And the same for rng? I'd assume a setup for RNG isn't much different than it would be for a regular non gandiva rng.

[noodles355]

Why would you ever want to SA in TH gear?

I equip hands/feet on ranged attack personally.

I do the same. But that little rule means I don't have to /ra every mob I'm engaging if it's already at camp.

Ummm... The SA is your first hit?

If you change campaign nations, are you penalized via medals at all/anymore?

I switched from Sandy to Windy, and within the next week did the quest/mission line up to Mission 14 (way farther than I'd gotten in Sandy!). I'd read that I'd lose three medals/ranks, but they were all still in my key items. I also spent those five days doing nothing but campaign battles and earning allied notes in between.

Once I requested evaluation after five days, though- I only got the next medal up from what I'd had in Sandy.

What did I do wrong? (and lol don't say switched to Windy. )

You only lose rank if you swap *back* to the nation. If this is your first time being allied to windy_s you don't take the 2 rank hit.
