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

[nikia]

Just wondering how hard Tiamat is these days? Want feet. Dont have BST so no BST solos for me. What is good lowman strat?

Thank you very much for any info.

Player A and B are bards in the same party.
Player A casts Minuet 2.
Player B casts Minuet 2 afterwards -> does this have no effect? Overwrite if stronger? Overwrite regardless?

Songs overwrite based on remaining duration. It'd depend on what the gear and active JAs were like between the two players. If Player B's Minuet 2 would last as long or longer than the remaining time on Player A's Minuet 2, it'd overwrite. If it wouldn't, it'd have no effect.

For example, as a single BRD, you can get a "no effect" message if you try to overwrite a Troubadour'ed song too early.

2x minuet^

was the restrictions for outlands dynamis lifted when it was redone? or do you still need (xarc?) clear?

Never needed Xarc win for valk/bubu/qufim access, needed to be past CoP 3-5, and that hasn't been changed.

I was wondering if the Itemizer plugin could be used for gear or just useable items? For that matter- is it typically fast enough(low lag scenarios) for gear swaps that occur often? I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out on 160 gear slots of awesome. Thanks

I dont think it would work, and i think it uses packet data(not 100% sure) so that much data would most likely send up red flags

I don't think so. Are you spamming the element of the synth? In your case, it should be water.

Yay lvl 80, thanks it was the type of fewell for the slow skilling. I changed to water.

Does Shinryu have party hate? I.E. when i zombie solo it on THF can my buds be in the BC to get the clear/atma/possibly brew instead of me? Or will shin go shit on their chest as well?

[toomuchscreentime]

That sounds like you have some of the new gear equipped, the decennial_____ (likely ring, if in dynamis).

Replace Windower/plugins/resources/items_armor.xml with the items_armor.xml from the resources link in my signature to fix that error.

thanks I've been looking for a link to updated resources, the one on windower forums was dead. Problem solved.

Do the twilight scythe and/or requiescat damage go through glavoid's damage absorption like they can for amphritrite?

They should be fine if you don't die too close to them. But take note if you die, procs are gonna reset if it goes passive.

Does twilight scythe damage the KS99 turtle normally?

I know. Tried ro solo first time yesterday with thf and after a failed experimentsl run i figured out where i could die and rr without reaggro, so i did that with apocalypse atma and continued to zombie until it was dagger. When it was, pop brew, proc blue, spam down. Got mail first try >.> now going to do for friends/helm. Still need helm for catastrophe and entropy when I finish my apoc.

I have asked on different site, however wanted to touch base here to see if results are the same, I am about to augment Moonshade and unsure of best mods. I play NIN MNK BLU and recently SMN.

I was thinking Refresh for BLU SMN or Regain for MNK and replace the +9att earring. would lose 5att if i did tho. I kinda like thought of refresh to be honest

The advice I got was att+4 / TP Bonus. I am wondering how much of an effect would that have on CDC, Shijin Spiral, Blade: Shun/Hi? I mention those WS since they are the ones I use of course.

I have no intention of annoying anyone just want to make sure I get the proper mods for myself. Any insight would be great.
As always thank you.

[Radec]

TPBonus gives:
Shijin: barely any change vs a 4att earring, some +virus duration
Shun: Some +attack, unknown amount
Hi: ~+1.25% crit rate
CDC: ~+2.5% crit rate

Vs regain sometimes might save you an attack round to 100 - given you're looking at 9-10 rounds as is, regain will barely alter your tp:ws split

Personally I have refresh/hp since I'm taru and usually blm. Not sure how it'll work for blu, since it's only active while not engaged.

If you intend to get vere or ukon, TPBonus is a pretty big deal on both of those, similar to CDC.

Either TPB/Attack or Refresh/something are the usual choices.

[Kyte]

Refresh is kinda useful if you're ever nuking (doesn't really ever happen nowadays, or when it does you have plenty of ethers) or running around in Nyzul. That said, I would still advice TP bonus.

[Kongmingtwo]

how does empyrean GS's WS perform outside of aby zones?

better than merit WS?

[Kyte]

No

It's inferior to Resolution pretty much always (and if it's doing more damage, you need better buffs and/or better gear). The only use for it (in my opinion) is to get 300% TP and use it for the level 3 aftermath on Caladbolg, and the most efficient way of doing that is in Voidwatch with dusty wings.

I have no idea what I'm going to do once I get my moonshade. My main job is thief, but I also use rdm, whm, and blm a lot, as well as dnc when I can get away with it. I might take refresh to compliment my hairpin/diaper/af3+2 bodies but I dunno yet.
