Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

You could do it with Cloudsplitter on the test server, I think.

I could if I bothered to go thru the effort to play around on there lol

[BrayenMidgard]

whats the fast cast % on rubeus set from the newest voidwalk?
getting 53/60sec on rr with pants(3haste)+ jacket and not too sure how to figuer it out with the haste on there

[Yugl]

Hah, I tested those exact pieces (And forgot about the haste upon initial testing). http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/108...=1#post5003620

Almost have THF levelled up to 99, which merits are ideal now?

Also, anyone have a good XML too?

For the merits, start with 5/5 Triple Attack for Group 1, then put the rest into SA and/or TA. I did 5/5 SA because it creates more opportunities when Bully is up, though there's nothing wrong with TA and it's the strongest of the two to stack with Exenterator. You can break them up int 2/5 and 3/5 if you roll that way too. For group 2, 1/5 Aura steal and then 4/5 and 5/5 into Feint and Assassin's Charge. Max whichever you prefer, I did 5/5 Assassin's Charge 'cuz I don't do anything on THF where Feint is so useful that an extra 2:00 off the timer would help that much.

It's possible to get it, but it should be noted that it's about as rare as a refresh hairpin or m. attk bonus 3 demon ring. I've seen only one TH sash in many, many, worm parties with capped amber.

IMO, Shit's random. I've been in a single 6-hour BLU cleave that resulted in two TH sashes.

[dasva]

Of course it's random. Like almost any other drop in the game. It's how odds work. You can get 3 1% drops in a row or go without any for 2190482903 times

as a sch in particular:

In dynamis with double weather and neutral day, using aurastorm w/ belt+cape the bonuses cancel out? (0% weather bonus)
from my understanding obi+cape force proc weather effect and storm spells take priority(i think?) but i am unsure about this case (with the cape) does it still boost light weather but not the dark weather or cancels itself out?(god dam this question is all over the place lol sry)

Also if on during darksday(still in dynamis so double dark weather) would it just be better not to use obi+cape due to forcing a negative bonus?(assuming you get day+1 dark weather and only 1 light weather proc) as opposed to the...what is it 10% proc rate w/o force procing day/weather bonus

...hope that made sense to someone very limited healing experience so this sorta has never come up lol

[Byrthnoth]

If you use Aurorastorm, you overwrite the weather and it acts like you have single light weather instead of double dark. With belt, you would get continuous +10% HP restored cures.

DRG merits?

[shaggnix]

cap jump/high jump for group 1. for group 2 ... a lot of ppl have this strafe fetish i never really understood, but its a pretty popular choice to cap it. personaly, my breaths don't resisted a whole lot, and the ~100 dmg that occasionally gets resisted off isn't worth the merits to me. i've also been stuck in dyna for the last year or 2 tho, on higher lv mobs the benefits might be more obvious. deep breathing is always useful (especialy with healing breath IV on the way). you should have at least 1 merit in angon, i chose to cap it but i know it was a questionable choice. empathy is kinda obsolete now that your wyvern is so much more durable than it used to be.

[noodles355]

Fuck Strafe. 1 Empathy, Rest in Angon and Deep Breathing.

The one in empathy is to allow you to spirit link at full wyvern HP for the TP transfer. Can save you the occasional strike to 100% if you get hit a few times and/or a conserve TP proc and end up at like 96%TP or something.

4/5 Deep Breathing 5/5 Angon or vice versa?

[zard1977]

5/5 Angon...universal rule

[noodles355]

5/5 Angon. Means if you bring 2 Drgs to long and tough fights, you can keep Angon up 100% of the time.

Any tips for dyna valk mnk/dnc + thf/dnc?

I get a hell of a lot more coins than I do solo, but she's getting slightly less coins than she does solo. It's probably due to the increased kill speed and having to turn and proc shit sometimes before they die.

What's the most efficient way to farm as mnk + thf?

[Dignity]

Fight the DC mobs. (Assuming you guys are hitting up EP.)

5/5 Triple Attack for sure, I did 5/5 Trick Attack, as I find myself able to trick attack more frequently than sneak attack, but that was before bully, but I don't think I'll move them around. Tier 2, I did 5 A.Charge, 1 Feint, and 4 Aura Steal, since I <3 stealing mob buffs, and I don't usually need to have the -50%Evasion more than once every 10 minutes, if that.

[noodles355]

Parse the hit rates of even top tier DDs on some of the hard voidwatch monsters. That is justification in it's self for feint, tho whether it's justification for a thief in the alliance is another matter entirely.
