Is it good idea to get a rag tag group of 17 pickups together to do windy Voidwatch path?

I did all 3 city paths upto the T3 with 5 people. So you definitely do not need 18 to clear the path...

What setup?

**cdgreg** · 2011-12-10 15:48

I think it was something along the lines of mnk, war (maybe nin?), rng, whm, blm. I've done the city paths (upto the t3 then waited for a /sh or more lsmates) a handful of times to help new lsmates, and we've always used a partyish of people with a rag tag mix of jobs.

Thanks, I'd assume something like DNC NIN COR WHM BLM would work as well then?

I'm currently using the dancer DPS Spreadhseet file to figure out gear to aim for, and for some reason the spreadsheet is saying that Charis+2 head is substantially a better Evisceration head in abyssea over Ocel+1

My current WS Gear:

Parazonium+2(Double Attack) / Auric / Charis Feather
<head slot> Rancor Collar / Brutal Earring / Merman's Earring (Will eventually do the upgrade to Jupiter's)
Toci's Harness / Charis Hands+2 / Raja's / Epona's (Will eventually upgrade to stormsoul)
Atheling Mantle / Cuchulain's Belt / Tumbler Trunks / Charis Feet +2

If I have Toci's harness logic dictates that Ocel+1 head should be a SUBSTANTIALLY better evisceration head over my af3+2 head (which only has relevant stats of att+8 acc+8 stp+7) and yet when I try Ocel+1 head on the DPS spreadsheet it says my ws dmg goes down...?

At first I thought it was because the sheet wasn't taking into account the triple attack+3% but even adding that to the sheet didn't do much.

My gut instinct says dex+12 TA+3% outdoes 8 att/acc and stp, but is my af3+2 head REALLY that good? O_o

As for why I dont have stormsoul/jupiter's pearl yet, I'm still buying the silver mirrors to finish my double attack parazonium +3, 75 to go! :D

Do ranged one-hit WS have the same accuracy boost as melee WS? Excluding Slugwinder of course.
I ask because in voidwatch trying marksmanship WSs on cor (capped merited 8/8 skill, about +100 racc in gear) the hitrate of all of them, hot/split/sniper/detonator/numbing, is terrible. We're talking taking 5 attempts to land Hot Shot terrible. Even with sushi they don't land reliably.

anyone else? particularly worried about the arch ZB's.

**Mikus** · 2011-12-10 19:25

neck piece for Blu?

if brewing Azdaja on ninja, what would best WS be?

**Prothescar** · 2011-12-10 20:02

Necks for BLU: Portus > Rancor > Houyi > Fortitude > Orochi = Wivre with 2% crit rate

**dasva** · 2011-12-10 20:12

Sadly your best ws for Azdaja on nin will probably be Aeolian Edge. You could probably do some epic San spells too

**Mikus** · 2011-12-10 20:33

thanks! the brew question is for a friend. he wants to brew 3 down and we've never fought the wyrm so no clue really what to use

**dasva** · 2011-12-10 20:54

I've seen 3 brewed down on a single brew with Aeolian before. Just make sure to have atma of gales and full 200 tp bonus

Re: Jeuno and Zilart Voidwatch.

How many of these can be low-manned, and any good setups?

A lot of people in my linkshell seemed to lose interest in FFXI around the time these were implemented, so we haven't really attempted them yet... would like to give these a try - but there aren't even any shouts for them on Shiva either.

**Aja** · 2011-12-11 01:50

Do Motenten's or Kinematic's speadsheets work for RNG95 and if so where do I find these? I found one but it doesn't work for lvl95.

THF Atmas?

I can't answer the primary question, but I was running into the same issue. I had much better luck shooting from the gun sweet spot, though. If you're not in a position where you'd be one-shotted, running in to 6.0~ yalms for WS helps. I also almost always use Dusty wings for Slug to get that 300TP Acc.

If you have a crit WS, there's basically no job that would ever want to use a combination other than that.

(Kanagi Nin being the "basically". For everyone else it's no contest and I forget how it shakes out for them.)
