Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Scrooge]

Screw it, I'm dumb, I forgot I had a DRK leveled high enough to test myself.

My attack was 238 naked inside Abyssea:

273 with Last Resort (no effect merits)
332 with Last Resort + Berserk
392 with Last Resort + Berserk + Stalwart's Tonic
489 with Last Resort + Berserk + Stalwart's Tonic + RCB

It's clearly additive with Food multiplied at the end.

Guess I gotta go level cor to figure out where chaos roll fits.

Has anybody messed with comet to see how good the potency gets if you have a bunch of BLMs casting comet at the same time?

[Brutala]

Assuming you don't plan to get DRK mythic or relics, is there any situation at all where an octave 96 DRK is better to have than a 99 one with no KC? Perhaps doing some old content with extreme lowman or something? Answer fast; about to ding 96 as we speak!

[nivlakian]

( Base Attack * 1.75 Berserk & LR & Stalwart ) + Base Attack*Food

...I think. Could definitely be wrong.

If people are going to test anyway, they can confirm/deny, but last time I tried to look into this it appeared to be:

BaseAttack = sum of all static attack bonuses: Skill, Minuet, STR, Gear, Impetus etc
Attack% = sum of all percentage based attack bonuses (Berserk, Gear, etc)

Total Attack = BaseAttack * (1 + Attack%) + Min(BaseAttack*FoodAttack%, FoodAttackCap)

Does anyone know of a program that will show my puppet's stats and things? Neither of the two I have found work.

Best hand piece for Dancing Edge for Dancer? Looks like AF3+2, but hard to keep track of everything these days when the pupblic wiki aren't as updated as they used to be.

Same questions, but for Thief: Best hand item for WS, would like it to be universal for both dancing edge and evisceration both. AF3+2 again?

Which gorget is aligned with Blade: Shun?

Athos's Gloves are likely the best for Dancer. Also, ffxiah's advanced search is miles ahead what wikis can attempt to provide for narrowing down gear choices. Just go to ffxiah and search for "DEX+" for DNC in the hands slot, 75-99. Look at the options, look for STR, look for attack, whatever.

Fire Light Thunder

On the Elemental attack +15 atmacite, is it 15% damage increase?

If it works like atmas yes... but atmacites aren't the easiest things to test lol

[Khajit]

About to kill some stuff on bst in abyssea for lulz. I dont remember what the atma to use on bst solo are. Razed ruins is one of course but what are the others?

[noodles355]

2) Best pants for solo SA, and stacked ws (Aside from exenterator)

AF3+2 should still win for stacked evis, whether you should be stacking evis or not is a completely different question.

+15 Atmacite is +15% damage I believe.

Traditionally Mounted Champion and Ducal Guard.

http://myffxigear.kicks-ass.org/ is also a rather good way of looking for stuff like that. The bugs it used to have been dealt with and it orders them by highest amounts. Also lately they update it really fast

Two hours ago I only would have said "Bruiser for Aesir", but, actually, Ocelomeh+1, Toci's, and a 3% haste feet (Savateur, Athos's, augmented Kokugetsu) are better options than what you have.

[Aja]

Well maybe someday Pil will put out.

Brutal + Aesir is fine then? I won't need the Bruiser for a damage tier correct?

[Falaras]

What are some good places to camp in Dynamis Xarc?

[NynJa]

Toci's

is suggesting gear like this really necessary? Atleast offer a suitable replacement that doesnt involve winning the lottery.

Recast plugin is loaded, but the recast box showing cure, /ja, etc, isn't showing up on screen. Windows 32 bit Vista machine, did I forget to change a setting in the init file?
