Random Question Thread XXVI: The Rise and Fall of the RQT

[Khajit]

You'd still want crit+3 S kotes for hi so synergy is still something to level. WIth that in mind what do i do for lv 50+ synergy since I need to still augment my Skotes and I'm going to need to synth my cor's ammo with it showing up so rarely in AH.

[JustaWAR]

I'm going to try to brew 2 Glavoids on NINs. Should I bother using Aeolian Edge with specific atmas? or would I be ok to do it with just Hi?
also if I go with edge, should I /rdm? or stay /dnc incase the brew doesn't work

I have a 60whm holding the other brew, I'm not really confident dualboxing though

I'm pretty sure NIN/DNC can solo Glavoid without a brew.

I'll give it a try, seems kind of shaky.

apoc/earth wyrm/ razed ruin?
Stun spells and most ws and hope miga available for disgorge? Or I guess I can turn if miga down, not sure if it has regain.

Riding Migawari is enough of a pain that finding a nice NIN, THF, WHM group is well worth your time.

SAM ws gear questions: Do I gear for Fudo like Gekko with straight STR? Does it get an acc and atk boost like Gekko? What about Shoha?

[dasva]

Fudo doesn't get att boost so yeah gunna have to gear more att into it. Also don't think ws belt/gorget good for it either. Shoha gets att boost but I think there was some debate wether it applied to both hits

hi! im returning to the game with some friends and we are planning to do some empyrean weapons, are the lv90 versions acceptable with the current lv cap? also, for ranger, gandiva or armageddon? i might level COR some day, thanks in advance

[noodles355]

no

What about for content where you're not acc capped? Woiuld Koga Chainmail+2 be best then? Or in those situations would it be better to just use Iga Chainmail +2?

Koga chainmail is just bad mmkay. There might be a point where you got the exact amount of buffs, gear, and slow2 active to cause it to be useful but it's an extremely small window.

In general, the level 90 weapons are quite good. Some of them are outclassed by STR magians, some of them outclassed by 2-4 magians, I think the TP bonus GKT is good, not sure where it falls. Some are outclassed by the HQ level 95 weapons that drop from Voidwatch, and most are outclassed by 95-99 relic, although not all. The short answer is if you are never taking the weapon to 99, there might be better options on a job by job basis.

As for RNG, the best answer is probably Yochi, because of Namas arrow spam. However, if you limiting yourself to empy, and might do cor in the future, then the answer is probably Armageddon. Armageddon's path is pretty simple though, so it might be worth your time to get help with Gandiva and just figure out an Armageddon as you go. Carabosse > CC > Isgebind is probably the easiest empy path in the game.

Well, the only use I see for it would be uncapped acc scenarios. I'm more just trying to figure out what'd be best for body slot in those situations, not so much trying to defend Koga body +2. I'm guessing Iga+2 would beat Koga+2, but not 100% sure so figured I'd ask. (My mule's very mediocre, and is never in main DD/buffed party).

Wouldn't Annihilator be a better suggestion than Yoichinoyumi? Coronach fills the same role as Namas, but you also have Last Stand for when enmity is a non-issue.

[Khajit]

2~4 magians never outclass anything unless it's VW proccing. Making one should be grounds for having your character rounded up, shot, and kicked from the ls.

Well, the only use I see for it would be uncapped acc scenarios. What I was wondering is for those instances, would you be best off with Iga Body +2? Or Koga +2 or some other body? I'm not trying to defend Koga +2, I'm just trying to figure which'd be best for uncapped acc (My non-kannagi Nin is on my mule and never in the main DD party, for example).

Iga has more acc, more atk, and crit rate vs 3% DW and if the DW is the dealbreaker then af body would have been better. It's a catch 22. In order for koga to beat a specific piece of gear there has to be a different piece that outclasses it.

[Weeks]

Koga +2 is probably the best body for a non-Thaumas NIN on T6 if you can't use a food with ACC for some reason. In other words, it's not worth upgrading.

[BerenTebogo]

Iga Zukin +2 with Dusk gloves +1 / Koga +2 or Ocelemoh(sp) Headpiece +1 and haste +3 da +3% hands?

Edit: Also I'm using AF+1 body still because I don't have Thaumas and I haven't seen anything else that beats it. Is this correct?

[Nightfyre]

Thank you for the response. I've been trying to level Synergy but it's been going very slow and I don't really want the bother of it just for haidate. I'd rather just get some Ambusher's Hose for when I get around to doing Kannagi and unlocking dagger WS.

If it's between Ambusher's and Haidate then go ahead and augment Haidate. Thaumas are what would replace Haidate.

What about for content where you're not acc capped? Woiuld Koga Chainmail+2 be best then? Or in those situations would it be better to just use Iga Chainmail +2?

Iga +2 would be better. The only way I can see Koga pulling ahead of both Iga +2 and Ninja +1 is maybe if you're pDIF capped, hitrate uncapped, and not gaining much/anything from Iga +2's DEX. I don't think this is really a practical situation to consider unless you're somehow getting full buffs in VW on NIN.

Iga/haste+4 and yes.

Why isnt mappy saving my hunts? That shit has never worked for me.

Also, how the fuck do you get the "Warhorse Hoofprint" to spawn? they're showing up on mappy but can't click them.

[detlef]

Those're just places where it can spawn. A spot may or may not be up at a given time.

That's what I thought, but i've run all over wajaom bhaflau and caedarva and these are the only 3 i've seen and they're all near each other.

Shouldnt these things be scattered all over the place if its just possible spawn points?

[Radec]

MtZ has them too - iirc they'll only show if they've popped and died since update? In only 3 days it's possible it hasn't moved around all that much yet.
