LIES! LIES AND PICTURES OF ALSO LIES!

It took me forever to get BLM off of him, he does not favor it. At all.

Mobs always favor drops for the jobs that are least wanted.

Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but better than nothing

Couple of things:

-Set Usermode to CORRacc or MeleeTP accordingly.
-I have a seperate (normal ffxi) macro to equip luzaf ring when rolling while engaged - mainly because you dont always want to hit everyone all the time. Add it into the rolling sets if you want to have max range all the time.
-Not sure if the brew gearset works properly, only brewed once since I put it in, and I'm normally focused on getting back onto martello asap instead of checking gear and stuff.
-Detonator set missing (use wildfire 99.9% of the time)
-Staves not in for appropriate shots, (again, wildfire/fireshot 99.9%)
-Never figured out how to get shooting to work properly when disengaged (snapshot gear comes in, but then swaps to idle gear before shot goes off, no idea how to sort it properly)

Whats the highest I could get my resist fire gear wise for ninja? I'm going to be tanking her on ninja and want a idea on what are my options for fire gear. Thanks for any and all help!

I'm currently working on amano but I'm not positive on what the ideal tp set is atm. Also not sure what the ideal kaiten set is. could someone give me some advice or post some sets.

With AM up swap Back to Atheling and Feet to Ace's.

Thats my Fudo set, Kaiten might favor element belt/gorget with its lower fTP, but it has no attack bonus like Fudo. Can also use Cent earring instead of TPbonus Moonshade for Kaiten.

Do Nyzul versions of NMs count for Empyrean trials? I know this is completely impractical but it would be neat to find out.

As far as I remember, the trials also specify zones. I doubt that it would work.

They don't

Is magic def. +10/20 noticeable? Been debating making 2 of the magic def swords for Blu for when I'm on the sidelines waiting for staggers or something against nms that spam Ga's or magical ws's.

**xIndustrialxAngelx** · 2011-11-23 18:10

For someone who has already Yoichi completed - if I were to consider a 2nd relic, I'm torn on how useful some of my other choices for relics. Apoc/Aegis/Amano (is Amano even worth it if you already have a Masa?). I also already have Ochain on PLD as well.

The only usefulness I see to Aegis, is for tanking VW NM's - and even then, most DD's end up pulling hate/tanking for a bit anyways. And that's all I can think of for a usage of shield. The other weapons can used for anything else - including VW and perform very well.

What can bst use to proc? I know that Ready works (when the mob attacks not when you tell it to attack). How about:

Assault, Spur, Run Wild, Feral Howl, Tame?

**Prothescar** · 2011-11-23 18:31

Just did my limule test on Tachi: Ageha.

DEF: 512
DEF With Dia II on: 460

At the time of the Molting Burst that transferred DEF down to me, I had Dia II on.

DEF after DEF down transferred to me: 322

460 - 322 = 138

460 * .30 = 138

Tachi: Ageha = 30% DEF down for three minutes.

My question: Why don't more SAMs use this?

Tame and probably feral howl yes. The others are pet commands so no. Bst relies on /dnc to do ja procs really

I can confirm Feral Howl does proc. As for Tame, I've never seen it proc - so i don't know if that works =(

Not enough epeen!!! Plus it helps most sam ws less... and um the description says chance of def down... so idk maybe it doesn't proc often or something?

I've procced with tame once... but given the odds and the lame long ass timer on it I tend to even forget I have it most the time

Thanks guys, jumping on the bst bandwagon for the time being.

**sedna** · 2011-11-23 18:55

I've always wondered about tame, but never saw it proc, so stopped trying. Feral Howl as previously mentioned. I often times proc using Spiral Spin or Sudden Lunge as well (So "Ready" commands that hit the mob... not sure if Noisome Powder works though). Of course, that's not to say you should depend on any of those... as already mentioned, /dnc is the way to go.

One weaponskill every three minutes to provide a 30% DEF down on the enemy, which benefits the entire alliance, from a job that gets TP very rapidly doesn't sound like it's sacrificing much for the reward. As for procs, I went out to Kaggen on SAM/WAR. Did a 100TP Ageha, then died. Dying will erase all debuffs on the VWNM, allowing you to see what's landed. Every time I died, its Defense Down effect wore off.
