Also, is Atmacite of Discipline going to be worth using after the Save TP nerf?

Only if you have a COR in your PT.

If you have a cor using miser's as well, and they stack, maybe.

Without cor, definitely not.

Only if you have a COR in your PT.

I never get to the cool kid parties with CORs anyway because I don't have an Ukon. Without a COR should I use Persistence or something else?

And of course, all of my other jobs, especially since I am on SMN most of the time anyway. lol

On CDC for blu:
By how much Toci's + ocelomeh head +1 beat Loki's + MKE head ?
Basically 13STR + 11 DEX + 10 acc + 10 att + 3% TA/DA VS 7% crit damage + 2% WS damage

[Khamsin]

Are there any merit WSs that don't get gorget/belt bonus on all hits?

[Byrthnoth]

Upheaval, Shijin Spiral, Tachi: Shoha, Shattersoul, and Exenterator are not listed as having gorget/belt applied to all hits. I know I specifically tested Upheaval and Exenterator when they were first released onto the test server.

Also, Apex Arrow is only one hit.

Best place to skill up MNK Guarding? I assume mandy in abyssea-misearaux? But what atma and gear? 2x regen and ducal guard doesnt work.. I take too much dmg from just 2 DC mandies if I choose a far away target and let them hit me...

With tomorrows update removing the sexy save TP stacking, what would be the next best atmacite to replace discipline?

Would SAM Roll + Deluges (+47-65 STP) effectively do the same job? I know it basically would for me on DRK but no idea if it's the same for other jobs.

i finally skilled my marksmanship high enough to be able to use Last Stand. Now im wondering what the ideal WS setup would be. Currently i have any Agi pieces i have macroed in with ranged acc. id appreciate to see other Cor setups, thx

Fairly easy to get setup for COR:

navarch+2/light gorget/altdorf/wilhelm
loki's/alruna's/stormsoul/stormsoul
terebellum/light belt/ambusher/navarch+2

Likely not the "best", but should put up solid numbers with that, and all of it is fairly easy to get, not counting earrings, which can be a bag of cocks to get. 1/5 and 1/~35 for me on those earrings, back shortly after they were released.

About to THF evasion in Dynamis, an agi/eva thokcha should put you really close to evasion cap, but lately (after someone mentioned it on here) I've been in the habit of a hybrid haste/regen set. Ocelomeh head, wiglen, paguroidea, sheltered is 7/tick, and you can easily keep haste capped in that setup, and if using an agi/eva thokcha, should also keep you near evasion cap on DC mobs.

Does magic accuracy have any effect on enspells?

[Bigsyke]

Is a DT+ set worth having for scarlet delirium? I think it is possible to get 70% with onyx set, rancor mantle, and kubira neck.

Yes, I think I'm crazy.

Edit: is there a DT+ cap?

[Byrthnoth]

No one has found one if there is, but you could add Atma of the Dark Blade to your list if you go looking for one.

Maybe if you are fighting too weak mobs. For harder mobs I'd just stick with SD and not using your PDT/MDT sets until it procs.

Overall definitely not worth the effort.

Seems like a Madawc idea

[Bigsyke]

The reason I'm asking is because the set will only be on for a couple of seconds at most.

Correct me if I'm wrong (took a break after the 90 cap and came back at 99 so didn't really have a chance to use DRK much), but Scarlet Delirium works by using half of the % of the HP lost by the first hit you take. So if you have say 1200 HP, get hit for 200, you get a damage boost of 8.3%. Whereas if you have a DT+70% set you'd get hit for 340 and boost your damage by 14.2%. Am I understanding this right?

Lol I spent 200mil on my Onyx set, maybe there is a use for it???

Unfortunately the returns are no where near that amount. Only when I get slammed and take a huge hit like 75%+ of my HP is the damage boost even noticable. (and that could be my mind assuming there is an increase)

I think SE has an office pool for how many times DRKs use SD before its figured out that it does nothing.
