Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Ricekid]

I just got Ace's Mail, but I don't have DRK/SAM/DRG lvled atm. So I was wondering does it have any good uses for those jobs?

[pancakesandsex]

What's a good tp neck for pld?

[zephr]

What's a good tp neck for pld?

Agasaya or Fortitude maybe? I use AF3 neck but I'm a horrible PLD, so I'm sure there are better options.

[dasva]

From a DD perspective probably Portus Collar or rancor.

[pancakesandsex]

Well agasaya's doesn't have pld on it. Torque sounds like a good idea. Is rancor worth it over the torque? Only decent tp neck I have that pld can use atm is a Houyi's :/ Unless I muled something I forgot about.

[grevenilvec75]

If theyre that dumb, then telling them where to go probably wont help them farm any greater quantities...

Correct, but it will fuck over the people who are already there and know what they are doing.

[Bleublood]

Does anyone know a working link for Multisend?

I can't seem to find a working one on the windower forums

[noodles355]

do you really think its that bloody hard to look at a map, find out which mobs spawn where, and find a camp to use?

Yes. Have you met 80% of the people in this game?

I could give two shits about increasing their coinage. I just dont want them moving ontop of me and slowing down my farming.

Redid the ACP final last night, going to make a snapshot body for my ranger. What else would be a useful augment to put on it for the jobs available on it? Im leaning towards pet m.acc and mab for my pup, unless theres something else thats useful?

Why would you make a ACP Snapshot body for Ranger when the "Enhances Velocity Shot" on AF3+2 Body gives the same +5 Snapshot? Not to mention the 12Agi/Str 20Racc and -9 Enmity.

[Maguile]

I guess I wouldnt, had I known that

SAM WS only

DRG WS

DRK WS, maybe TP in a ACC build, maybe...

Any idea if the Augmented Scout's Jerkin +2 would beat the Sylvan Caban +2?

(Apparently Jerkin has +5% Double Shot rate when augmented with Snapshot merits.)

I asked in the What's Better thread a bit ago but nobody responded.

[Atoreis]

Im gonna ask this in other way:

Is there any use for Ragnarok(99) If you have Ukonvasara(99) and Apocalypse(99)?

[Darkmagi]

For a DRK DD weapon, isn't Ragnarok quite a bit ahead of apoc if you are ignoring the defensive aspect? Also mighty strikes resolutions seem to be pretty damn strong, no idea how it compares to upheaval though.

It's situational really. If you're getting a decent amount of buffs and can go balls to the wall then yeah Ragna wins. If you start losing buffs or start having to play more defensively and the such then Apoc becomes the better option. Apoc is basically a lot more forgiving, Ragnarok has the ability to deal more raw damage but requires more skill/better gear/multiple gear sets, etc.

I don't regret doing my Ragna anyway. I'm sure both will always be used although if I could only take 1 to 99 it would be Apoc.

Thats the thing
I could write exactly the same but thats pretty much a problem that you wrote "?" and "no idea" :D

Someone who is familiar with Motenten files could check this? Assuming you can 6 hit Ragnarok (on war/sam) with (rose/white tathlum/houyi/brutal/6stpArmada/Ogierhands/Rajas/goading for 51STP and 3/5 hits on resolution with ogier hands/rajas/brutal/rose)? Unless ofc 7hit is superior?

I would guess 2hr with Ukonvasara would be Sekkanoki Upheaval->Ukko(200TP so 40%ODD for a minute)->spam Upheaval?
How about WAr w/o 2hr but on mobs when you can cap att and acc still?

For DRK I hear very different things from many good DRKs like Taint and Jem for example.

Im rather bad at compering 2 completely different sets with different weapons. Would probably took me several hours so I guess I could ask first

[Darkmagi]

Ragnarok has the higher damage ws, more raw DPS, and a substantial crit rate boost. I don't see how it could be losing unless underbuffed or playing defensively. Only things in favor of apoc would be hit builds at the cost of higher delay?

[Jem]

You'll want to 7 hit Ragnarok, you have to sacrifice too much to 6 hit. That's partially why Apoc fairs better with low buffs (2052 delay versus 2586 is a pretty substantial difference). When you're in VW, this becomes reduced due to regain/save TP and TP overflow becoming more frequent (which obviously benefits Resolution)

And if you have to play defensively then Apoc pulls ahead since you can 6 hit in capped haste and full PDT/MDT with Apoc whereas Ragna DoT goes to shit if you have to throw on PDT gear.

EDIT: I'll PM you 2 sets of parses Atoreis on the same mob.

[Midnightjade]

Can someone explain the resistance cap and Nullify Damage chance for Carol II's, and how they're affected by skill and AF3+2?

I just got a semi-decent BRD going since I got back to the game, and am thinking to get Glavoid clear this weekend. I don't want to screw up the Carol and end up with a bunch of dead and angry tarutaru.

Thanks!
