Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Talint]

Currently working through DynaBubu, what's better to fight as THF/DNC? Crabs or scorps for shells?

-edit-

Or dhalmels. Didn't give much consideration to dhalmels for some reason.

[Tahona]

Looking for some weapon suggestions for a few jobs and some input would be appreciated.

Drg. Str/Oat/DA?

Sam. Str/tp bonus/???

Offhand for my Kannagi outside abyssea

Did it pld/war(ochain) rdm/thf. Was easy, but with constant hate reset the rdm would take a few hits from time to time. Then switched to Mnk/war Whm/thf and was much much smoother. Was able to get hate back quickly after hate reset. Just save perfect counter for after mega scissors just to be safe.

Thanks, that's what I figured! thanks for the info!

Haven't done Krabkatoa in ages, good duo/trio setup?

Soloable if you use the pin spot and mage.

[Darkmagi]

Shouldn't have to rely on pin spot nonsense at 99.

Drg - Oat will beat pretty much anything besides Ryunohige and will be close with Gungnir.

Sam-Tp bonus is the go to GTK, but my friend swears by Oat GTK. Oat does perform very well.

Nin-I'm not a nin so ill leave this to someone else.

I would go with dhalmel if you have aura steal, 999atk(or whatever the bonus really is) berserk will help kill speed a lot. Though scoprions may have a similar atk bonus, never tried aura steal on them before.

1.) Corsair's 11 roll bonus has been changed a number of times, what is the current bonus for an 11?

2.) Is there a non-cloak refresh body for COR that I can wear with refresh hairpin?

Re: the past couple pages on Phantom roll,

The bonus for XI used to be a 10 minute duration, that was removed because people suck. XI no longer affects duration in any way.

Current bonus is -30 seconds to Phantom Roll Recast, and an instant reset of PR's timer when the XI itself is hit. This is additive with PR Recast merits, so you can bring your roll recast down to 20 seconds with an XI up. You are also immune to new busts, however rolling an XI with a bust already up will not remove the old bust.

2) Nope. But check out Roller's Ring. It's dirt cheap, and the latent is active whenever you have an XI roll on yourself.

Dnc can solo easily. Mnk + Whm is a joke on it. Can throw in a Thf for TH/insurance as well

Does food affect pets?

Dhalmes (EP) rarely seem to stay alive long enough to use Berserk most of the time! It was fun to Aura Steal the DC ones though.

That is until the next one decided to berserk as well and proceed to Stomping me with my sub-200 defence >.>

Is it true pretty much any mob with a TP attack in place of a normal attack (Iron Giants, Botulus, Harpia etc) pretty much arent affected by slow / para debuffs even if they land?

Paralyze can still stop TP moves. I have no idea about slow, as I haven't actually played a mage job on any of those fights ever so I have no idea if it's ever even cast/landed or not when I fight them.

@Above, pretty sure food has no effect on pets.

[Khamsin]

Do atmacites affect pets, like atmas do?

[fantasticdan]

Paralyze can still stop TP moves.

lol

[Greatguardian]

lol

Can it not? Idk, I play like once a month these days. The rust is caking on.

Seems the items_general.xml is missing the info for forgotten items now. I was able to add these lines and then reload the plugin to get it to work again.

If you have a problem with an item not being found you can look up the id on ffxiah.com and check the appropriate file to make sure it has an entry for the item.

Thank you so much! On first search I have 2 riftsands in satchel, 2 in sack, and another 1 in satchel not stacked lol.

[Dathus]

Asked before, didn't get an answer. What's the Snapshot amount on Commodore Gants/+1?

[Cyprias]

Pretty sure this is still the case, as long as it is the mob performing the TP move and not a Player.

[Fievel]

I was banned a while back and am wanting to come back, so I decided to just go ahead and make a new account.

With making a new account, do I need to make a new SE ID? Seeing as the accounts on my old one were banned? and if so do I have to get a new security token so I can get my satchel?

Edit: Nevermind I just linked my 14 token that I hadnt used.
