Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Motenten]

In Kparser's additional effects tab, what do the restricted hits refer to? Like:

Melee Effect           # Procs     # Hits     Raw Proc %    # Restricted Hits   Restricted Proc %
Magic Def. Down            246       2176        11.31 %                  384             64.06 %

My only idea would be hits when the add effect is already on the mob?

For weapons with an additional effect that lasts some duration (eg: def down on magian claws), the add.effect can't proc if it's already on the mob. Therefore to figure out the actual proc rate, it only counts the number of hits that are outside a 30 second window after a proc as "restricted' hits -- hits that can be considered valid for purposes of a possible proc.

If that doesn't apply for the weapon you're examining, you can ignore that part.

When cycling multiple mobs with the same name(proc, move to next, etc) can kparser tell that I'm not hitting the mob I procced anymore?

Just installed windows 7, windower, etc. My text boxes are barely legible. I was using before on Vista: 1280x760 / 1024x1024. If using those settings the text is so blocky it's terrible looking. I can go to 1440x900 / 2040x2040 and everything is smooth, but then all menus, text box, etc is so far back I can barely see them to read it.

Can anyone help with getting the text box legible/smooth while having it in the front of the screen more so?

Does it still look nasty in true full screen?

Yeah it's just the text. characters are great. i've tried changing windower gui, regedit, etc to all different settings and nothing makes the text clean. I had my wife take a 2nd look and she agrees it looks choppy and bunched together. I took a SS and the SS actually looks good so yeah....downloaded latest driver for my ATI Radeon hd 4830 and that didn't do anything either.

No.

So how exactly does Decoy Shot work? 'Cuz I still end up with hate even when using a WS with it up from behind someone, and I start with zero enmity >.>

Are you using wildfire/Leaden Salute/Trueflight? It apparently doesn't work on magical WS. (probably because TA doesn't.)

iirc the update notes specified it only works when you have hate and someone is between you and the mob. I only remember because that took it from rediculously awesome ( I mean come on having TA up for 3 min of every 5 at least) to kinda lame

Edit: found it.
"•Ranger
•Decoy Shot (Lv.95, Recast time: 5 minutes, Duration: 3 minutes)
Diverts enmity when launching a ranged attack from behind a party member.
*Decoy Shot activates when attacking a target that has enmity toward the ranger using it."

We proc'd and killed with 5ish last weekend. The first fight he spammed venom shower and we wiped at 12%, second fight we didn't have one death.

Sorry, I have little experience with VW and my first attempt at this mob ended bad. Mind giving me your setup and some tips ?

One of the SE community representative posted a brief explanation how it works.

Decoy shot transfer a certain amount of enmity to the party member whom you shoot from behind. For that example he gave an example that decoy shot can absorb 200 damage enmity worth. So in case we put a -20 enmity gear set and if you do 200 damage, a total of 160 damage enmity worth is transferred to that person. However, if we do 250 damage with 0 enmity gear, the person is accounted for 200 damage worth of enmity, while the RNG only entitled for 50 damage worth of enmity.

That's as far as I can extract from the representative's post.

What's required for a PUP to be proc-ready in Voidwatch?

[Deader2818]

Having all your Puppets WS and your h2h ws.

[Diddy Kong]

So I don't need to skill up the magic frame at all, just the melee/ranged one then?

What about attachments, are any of those procs at all? I saw the chart but didn't really understand it as far as PUP is concerned outside of H2H WSs.

[Taera]

Pil and Akvan are *possible* to land but effectively immune, this is (BLM) with 480 skill and tonic on. If you're having resists on other mobs then might be a skill issue but I don't think drk can even get 480.

Skill is capped from BLM. Granted it's only 85 atm but I want to be as well geared as possible when I get to 95.

currently my fellower is 64 do i need to do limit break for my fellower to level above 65?

Supposedly goes down in 15 minute intervals, but I've never timed it myself or anything.

Also need at least 1 merit in ventriloquy.

As far as attachments, provoke, flash, shieldbash, and possibly dispel can be procs for Puppet specials.

Still sounds confusing but thanks lol. Basically what I got from that is that only a fraction of the enmity is transferred. Would you happen to have a link to the post?
