Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[noodles355]

4-hit with an Armageddon? (I'm Interested.) Any sets you can give me as a view?

Rng Armageddon 4hit (Same set can be used for Annihilator)
Vulcan's | Rose |
AF3+2 | Houyi | Volley | Clearview
AF3+2 | AF3+2 | Hoard | Rajas
AF3 | Oneiros Cest | AF3+2 |AF2+2
Wildfire:
Pandinus | Hyoui's | Hectate | Novio
Loki's | Skote | Stormsoul | Stormsoul
AF3 | Sveltesse | Ambusher | AF3+2
Last Stand:
Ocelomeh | AF3 | Drone | Drone
AF3+2 | Skote | Stormsoul | Stormsoul
AF3 | Crudeilis/AF2 | AF3+2 | AF3+2

Corsair can't easilly 4hit without concidering it's rolls, Rng really does just have that much STP gear.

HOWEVER.
Once you add Misers Roll into the equation, you can 4hit with /WAR:
Wildfire:
Vulcan's | Rose
Pandinus | Stoicheon | Novio | Hectate
Loki's | Alrunas | Stormsoul | Stormsoul
Forban | Sveltesse | Ambusher | AF3+2

These are the STP amounts needed to 4hit Misers Roll:
VIII (13) - 38STP
IX (15) - 34STP
X (17) - 31STP
V (20) - 25STP
XI (25) - 14STP

The maximum STP you need then is 38:
AF3+2 | Rancor | Clearview | Volley
Loki's | Praeda | Horde | Rajas
AF3 | Oneiros | AF3+2 | Praeda

If you're really keen, you could build a set for each Misers Roll result, and swap TP sets depending on which Misers Roll you get using Spellcast.
This also leaves you able to use Chaos Roll as your second roll, Chaos+Berserk should give you some very nice Last stand numbers as well.

In Voidwatch, with Coercion's 20SaveTP, again /WAR, it's impossible to 3hit on a VIII Roll with current gear, but you will naturally 4hit without any STP. However, for Misers 9/10/5/11, it is possible to 3hit. I've been thinking it over here: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/107...t=#post4978842
Especially in Voidwatch, better DDs seem to favour Miser/Chaos over Tactician, and Last Stand should do real good with Stalwarts, Zerk and Chaos Roll. As you're not using regain for anything here you can use the Slayer alongside coercion for the Fire Attack boost, boosting your wildfire as well.

I'm wondering what merits I should get for 99WHM. Keep in mind I'm a somewhat casual player so I'll most likely never do Voidwatch and just use WHM in abyssea. Thanks in advance.

Is it like the hpemdes in sea? if you damage them then turn your back for like ~30 seconds they will open their mouths and keep them open til you damage them. They don't seem to open their mouths if you are constantly hitting them though.

Rapid Molt will make it open its mouth.

[Celebrindor]

the fish will close their mouths before taking damage, its based on time. I've had several times with a slept Hmpede while resting MP on BLM open and close their mouths over the course of a Sleep2 duration. And of course it would always seem to close with my casting around 65% ^-^

[dasva]

This fish is different however

ACP at 99, need Chainspell stun still or can just PD zerg it? Need a new body

[VZX01]

Is the only data you have that you posted on ffxiah.com forum? Did you parse it? Also were you using food or any other sort of boost when taking into account you having 700 attack? What were you fighting?

- yes
- no. Just memorizing the 2-hit (1st hit landed) damage
- cruor buff, VV atma are the only relevant ones
- wivre in grauberg
50% at most should be the correct saying. If it's higher, my 2-hit damage will raise further from 1700-1800 to probably 1900-2000

It didn't need chainspell stun or PD zerg at 75...

[Foldypaws]

Hm. With Gungnir that seems better IMO. Omg -ACC ftl! A little bit of that for more attack is worth it, plus you don't get the -stats from Bullwhip. I'd be tempted to use that sort of set. Though I'd be back and forth over that or v3+2 body/Bullwhip for the guaranteed sTP, which would be needed for a lower hit, since sTP+6 is only under Sphere. Idk. I'd probably end up v3 body + bullwhip.

5 hit setup:

Gungnir (95)
Pole Grip
Hagneia Stone
Lancer +2
Houyi
Brutal
Moonshade AttRg
Lancer +2
Brego
Rajas
Blitz
Atheling
Goading
Calmecac
Lancer +2

Gives me better DPS on the spreadsheet than your 6 hit. (by quite a bit actually). Also beats the suggestion of Lancer +2 Body and Bullwhip, regardless of what legs you use, though by less.


Also, a random question: Wildfire (and other magical ranged WS) consumes a bullet, yeah?

[Cleverness]

Yes it does

[dasva]

Well unless you mean something besides A Crystalline Prophecy by ACP no it doesn't unless they changed it ALOT since it came out

Wait, what spreadsheet are you talking about here? Also, curious to your WS sets with Gungnir, and which you use more, since I'm working on one too.

@Noodles: The first TP set didn't look like a COR set, since we can't use Seiryu's Kote, unless there's a different hand piece known as SKote now...Are those RNG or COR sets?

Currently using:

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

Believe there was some skill up food associated with craft skills? I forget the damn names, and where I saw it at...

Found my answer! Macaroon's! And Coconut Rust for increase in HQ Rate!

How much Fast Cast is Witful Belt? I would assume its 3% so I'm just checking with BG. Thanks!

[nikia]

If I wanted to farm cruor which zone/camp is best? Also how much per hour is the norm?
Thank you for your help.
