Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Goldenfoon]

What jobs would benefit the most from the set bonus of Mekira-oto and Mekira Meikogai?

[fantasticdan]

Is there any compiled, up to date info on automaton spell lists/priorities? And is the auto even capable of downranking cures if it isn't low on mp? Mine uses cure v (not skilled to vi yet), even if I'm only missing ~150 hp.

Bumping this. Can't find good pup info anywhere.

War after using M Torment in a -DT set.

Once it learns Cure VI it will switch from V to VI depending on your missing HP (new to this update, btw, it would only use Cure VI before). Also, enhancing priorities are Prot > Shell > Haste for WHM head, Stoneskin > Phalanx > Prot > Shell > Haste for RDM head. Regens only if your target cons EM or higher, will -na you as soon as possible (WHM head), but now will prioritize healing with only one light maneuver up.

BLM head uses highest available nuke that will not get resisted much, and in between casts will aspir/drain if necessary (this is new, before this update it would end in an edless aspir cycle after a pair of nukes).

Hmmm... There's more, but those are the basics.

Maybe PLD with low emnity but with hate...? Apoc PDT set?

Thanks for the info. How about dispel, is that rdm frame exclusive?

[Taim Meich]

Yes, if you want dispel on any other frame, you have to use Disruptor.

I have a recollection regarding this being asked before but was unable to find it via search.

Once a vigil weapon has been traded to start the mythic weapon quest line, can it be changed to a different weapon OR can the quest line be terminated and restarted (inbetween q1 and q2 since they only require titles)?

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

Elshena the best skill up food to cap combat skills to 99? I feel skill ups are a little slow sometimes with this, and wondered if there was another tier of skill up food I was unaware of.

[Khajit]

What's the spellcast shorthand for lullaby and ballad?
EG "*Mazurka*" for all mazurkas.

[Haborym]

*Lullaby*, and Mages* would work. * is just a wild card, meaning it can take place of anything.

Anyone know what other mobs Phorusrhacos (Roc type birds) in Western Altepa share their spawn timers with? Mappy shows several death spots but only 1 is up right now, I can only think it shares its repop with other mobs around.

War after using M Torment in a -DT set.

Can you elaborate please.

[Neisan]

Can you elaborate please.

Not sure how much has changed but can use Mekira head/body after M torment for capped haste, PDT, MDT and some -breath damage depending on ring(s)/other gear. Set I initially had thought up isn't considering xhit but I figured that was a nonissue since it assumes you're getting hit and/or getting extra TP from retal/mekira body.

[Kaisha]

(this is new, before this update it would end in an edless aspir cycle after a pair of nukes).

Good fucking riddance to that.

Been re-skilling up my frames now that we're 99 cap (had it capped for 75-era, and job went mostly ignored other than dinging lvl cap the past year), complete pain in the arse still even with Percolator, but was nice seeing the job finally got independent recast timers based on magic skill set. Granted my WHM head now likes to blow through MP, so I tend to resummon it after first mob to get it refilled without buff spam.

On the subject of lolPUP, it even worth bothering skilling up combat/range? In Abyssea, shit dies too fast for it to get TP, and I end up doing more dmg not using Tactical Switch and spamming Stringing instead. Anything else worth mentioning and that pet is dead in a couple AoE attacks. VW is out of the question given how rarely triggers for it comes up.


Shame we can't macro attachments, I'd like a quick means of swapping between whm/rdm head with the new buffs.

[Karbuncle]

Quick Athos search got me nothing. I suck.

Do we know the Critical hit Rate increase on Athos Set Bonus? with 2/3/4 Pieces (I know its partial?)

[Prothescar]

If anyone was wondering, wiki is wrong and Snake Eye works on Wild Card. Don't ask how, but I may have found this out by mistake.

[cdgreg]

Anyone figured out the enhances benediction yet on cleric's briault +2?

[Byrthnoth]

Benediction normally heals for a maximum amount of WHM HP*2 (I think?) With the Briault I heard it heals full every time. That could be wrong, but it's something related to that.

[urat]

I got cleric's +2 body on my whm alt, however been to busy getting dreamland clears on it to go unlock its magian augment yet.

Once I get around to dyna exping I'll report back with what it does.
