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

[NynJa]

Okay, I think I'm starting to get the hang of VW. Just cleared Sandoria last night.

One of the more annoying things is when people call out procs, and someone gets a proc, I have generally no idea what was hit because the chat log whizzes by too fast to figure out what was proced.

Any suggestions? Just a matter of setting the right filters? If so, which?

Get rid of anything related to other players (hits misses etc etc), and also have people call out which procs they hit, put party chat on hold so it stays there a bit longer.

Anyone know if there is any truth to the fact you can take 36 players into Odin's chamber 2? Also I've been looking for strats and so far have found nothing, any info would be appreciated.

I know for a fact that you can take at least 22.

There was a website that searched peoples bazaars specifically.
What is the link?

How good is SE about getting your characters back after they have been "compromised?" Anyone have experience with this?

Is Homam + Arch Omega heart confirmed for Enif Corazza? I see that on wiki but I thought you had to give him AF items.

Edit: NVM. FUUUCK! The only piece I dont have...

[Kalmado]

Just now I did a sneak attack for 2841 on a flamingo in sky while doing agi dagger trial. I've never seen it that high. How is that possible?

AF3+2 set bonus?

[Kalmado]

I suppose. My SA set only uses 2 pieces of af3+2 unless maybe something didn't fire from Spellcast. Occasionally, my SA body doesn't switch. It's kind of weird. I've just never seen a SA that high outside Abyssea is all.

[Squah]

AFAIK having more than 2 pieces just increases proc rate, only need 2 to get the effect to proc. THFs is double - triple attack damage right, on all 3 hits yes? Is 1420~ a normal sneak attack for you? (I'm no THF, at all)

[Loughry]

1) Go to Abyssea on a job other than RDM subbing /WHM entirely naked except for the boots (wear them), put up Reraise and don't get Atma/Cruor buffs.
2) Go die, get up.
3) Cast Reraise with the boots on and look at the recast in your magic menu (Control-M).
4) Warp back to Conflux 1, put on Atma of Ambition, Lightning Beast, Tusked Terror, or Rescuer.
5) Cast Reraise again with the boots on and check the recast again from your magic menu (Control-M)

Post those two times back here and I (or someone else) will tell you what the Fast Cast is. I prefer to use La Theine for Fast Cast tests because there are so many monsters near Conflux 2.

I was hacked on the 11th of this month. i've still not gotten the character restored. I had to call 3 times, because the first rep i talked to didn't actually send me the forms to sign, so i wasted a full week waiting on nothing.

Thanks for the info. 1420 would be on the high end, but since it was a bird yeah that's probably it. Like I said, I've just never seen one that high. Really surprised me!

Thf set bonus is triple damage on all three hits. So an AF3 set proc on a SA/TA should be around the 3k mark.

As of right now, what's the lowest possible recast on Stun? I have my stun down to 5 seconds atm on SCH and I was wondering if anyone else could get lower. Thanks

Under Tabula Rasa and Embrava, with Haste and using Alacrity, I get ~4 second Stun recasts. Maybe you can reduce it further with Thunderstorm and Argute Loafers (they just won't drop for me).

However, that's plenty for me to solo stun all of Provenance Watcher's spells, which is the only time this sort of thing has mattered to me. I imagine it's also good enough for solo stunning TP moves during most zergs, if that's what you're after. But it still can't replace chainspell stun for total lockdown of an NM for 30 seconds, though it does have an advantage of being able to maintain such low recasts for 2-3 minutes.

117/120 = 98%
116/120 = 97%

It's impossible to only improve by 1% with one of the Atmas I named, so I'm going to go ahead and assume you're some kind of magician! Did you use the magic menu instead of the Recast plugin?

Could BST solo the final fight of the Moogle mini-expansion? Sheep Song would sleep the BLM adds but not sure I'd be able to pick them off quickly enough.

[Mairja]

NEVERMIND omg I'm an idiot. -.-

[Chocobunnies]

Does Firestorm boost Wildfire dmg?

I have soloed that using Falcorr to tank, but i think any lvl99 pets is fine. Take care when 5 adds spawn as your pet will run back to you. Use stay or fight to avoid hitting by -ga spells from the adds. You can also engage the big moogle from maximum melee distance to avoid the knock back.
